Engineered Wood – Passive Windows USA

Optiwin windows are a high-performance window system designed for energy efficiency and sustainability. They are manufactured using advanced German engineering and technology to provide superior thermal insulation, sound reduction, and air filtration.

These windows are made with a combination of natural materials, such as wood and glass, to provide a balance between energy efficiency and aesthetics. The wood frame provides warmth and beauty, while the high-quality glass provides excellent insulation and sound reduction. The Optiwin system is designed to prevent air infiltration, which can lead to energy loss and increased heating and cooling costs.

Optiwin windows are available in a range of styles and designs to complement any architectural style and design preference. The windows can be customized with different glass types, coatings, and colors to meet specific energy and aesthetic requirements. They are also available with different hardware options, such as handles and locks, to ensure ease of use and security.

Optiwin windows are an eco-friendly choice for homeowners and builders. They are manufactured using sustainably sourced materials and are designed to have a long lifespan with minimal maintenance requirements. The windows are also recyclable at the end of their life cycle.

Overall, Optiwin windows provide an exceptional combination of energy efficiency, aesthetics, and sustainability. They are a premium window system that is ideal for those who value quality, performance, and environmental responsibility.

Superior Glass System – Passive house Windows 

FUTURA is only made with triple pane glass.

The triple pane glasses are low E coated and filled with Argon.

Accordingly with your facade orientation, at Bieber we make sure that your overall performances are maximized.

We understand that passive house designs require variable Solar Heat Gain Coefficient (SHGC)This is a MUST to achieve the best thermal performances.

Ug values and SHGC values will vary accordingly with the pane layer characteristics.

Finishing option – Passive Windows USA

we offer a range of high-quality finishing options for our windows and doors to ensure that they look stunning and remain durable for years to come. Our finishing options include factory staining and painting, which are performed using our state-of-the-art float coat conveyor system.

Our float coat conveyor system enables us to pre-finish windows, doors, and lift and slide systems, even behind the hardware, glass, and aluminum cladding. This ensures that every part of the product is coated, providing complete protection against the elements. Our finishing process is unique in the market, as all wooden parts are covered with Bieber low VOC finish, which is eco-friendly.

Additionally, our window frames are entirely sealed, ensuring that they are energy-efficient. This reduces heat loss during the colder months, keeping your home warm and cozy. The seal also helps to keep out noise and drafts, providing a quiet and comfortable living environment.

Our finishing options are designed to provide both aesthetic appeal and long-lasting durability. Our state-of-the-art float coat conveyor system and low VOC finish ensure that all wooden parts are fully covered, while our sealing process ensures that our windows and doors are energy-efficient and airtight.

Tilt and turn is the best choice when it comes to passive house design.

The hardware fits your design but also fits the exigent passive house requirements for air tightness.

Most of the locally made windows do not have Bieber’s European multi point locking mechanism.

Why Bieber’s European hardware fits the passive house windows design:

Multi-point locking system ensures a constant pressure between the sash and frame.

Turning the handle activates a cremone mechanism with multiple locking points.

These adjustable pins keep the pressure strong.

European tilt and turn windows are the most used windows in passive house windows designs for this specific reason.

FUTURA windows and doors are manufactured with a double weather-stripping around the sash.

Imagine:  when you turn the handle, the amount of pressure that the cremone mechanism creates on the weather-stripping!

Futura’s Window main features :

– Thin frame for more glazing area.

– Tilt and Turn for extreme ventilation.

– Concealed hinges.

– Flush sash and frame.

– Adaptable for large units

Passive Window and Passive House in USA

A passive house is a building in which a comfortable interior climate can be maintained without the need for a conventional heating system such as boiler or geo-thermal heat pump. A small back-up heat source is all that is needed in very cold weather.

 

The annual heating requirement in a passive house must be less than 15 kilowatt hours per square meter of living space per year (expressed as kWh/(m²a)). Building in accordance with the current regulations in Ireland would achieve an equivalent value (at best) of six times the passive house standard (100 kWh/(m²a). Passive houses are thus extremely efficient in terms of energy consumption while at the same time providing very high levels of comfort.

FUTURA from Bieber have one of the best thermal performances on the market 

Uw up to 0.118 Btu/hr-sq ft-°F

SHGC (solar heat gain coefficient) up to 0.63

The following are the basic features that distinguish passive house construction (source – PassiveHouse Institute, Germany):

Compact form and good insulation:

– All components of the exterior shell of the house are insulated to achieve a U-factor that does not exceed 0.15 W/(m²K).

Southern orientation and shade considerations:

– Passive use of solar energy is a significant factor in passive house design.

Energy-efficient window glazing and frames:

– Windows (glazing and frames, combined) should have U-factors not exceeding 0.80 W/(m²K).

Building envelope air-tightness:

– Air leakage through unsealed joints must be less than 0.6 times the house volume per hour.

Passive preheating of fresh air:

– Fresh air may be brought into the house through underground ducts that exchange heat with the soil. This preheats fresh air to a temperature above 5°C (41°F), even on cold winter days. Highly efficient heat recovery from exhaust air using an air-to-air heat exchanger: Most of the perceptible heat in the exhaust air is transferred to the incoming fresh air (heat recovery rate over 80%).

Hot water supply using regenerative energy sources:

– Solar panels or heat pumps provide energy for hot water. Energy-saving household appliances: Low energy refrigerators, stoves, freezers, lamps, washers, dryers, etc. are indispensable in a passive house.

A passive house is a building in which a comfortable interior climate can be maintained without active heating and cooling systems.

Bieber’s FUTURA window series is crafted from 3-ply laminated engineered solid wood, setting it apart from other window manufacturers. Bieber prides itself on using certified wood sections that are sustainably harvested. The option of FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) solid wood sections is also available, providing the most environmentally friendly product in the window and door industry.

The FUTURA windows from Bieber come in Pine, which is also known as Scandinavian Pine or Siberian Pine. This type of wood is highly sought-after for European windows due to its stability and unique wood grain characteristics. The beauty of solid wood lies in its non-uniform appearance and color, which is precisely what Pinus Sylvestris provides. This wood is incredibly stable over time and can be easily painted or stained according to preference.

At Bieber, we understand the importance of offering a variety of options to our customers. That’s why we provide a broad selection of factory stains or paints to complement the design of any home. Choose Bieber’s FUTURA window series for a product that combines sustainability, functionality, and aesthetic appeal.
