Our Insulation Standards
In recent years environmentally conscious architecture aspires to reduce heating and cooling costs to be more economical and protect the earth. Thermal insulation dramatically decreases these costs.
Heat naturally moves from warm to cool places, meaning that in the summer it will try to infiltrate and in the winter – to escape. Insulation is meant to prevent this waste of energy.
Insulation is measured with the U-value. Minimal requirements for efficient insulation solutions are legally regulated in Europe, but not in Israel. Our wooden windows are manufactured in Europe and comply with the European standard.
Our Environmental Standards
At Noga Nagarut we believe protecting the earth is of utmost importance. We use specialized techniques to utilize every piece of wood as much as possible and avoid waste of this vital, dwindling resource. To maximize utilization we cut the wood into thin slices and attach them to each other with environmentally friendly glue.
The slicing process allows us to monitor the use of the wood and carefully inspect the condition of the trunk, including moisture levels and interior condition to avoid cracks.
Our preservatives and pesticides are all considered environmentally friendly. Our wood is grown within a 50 km radius from the factory and allows us to minimize the use of trucks for transportation. Our painting process is made up of seven coats of paint to protect the wood and penetrate it with environmentally friendly water based and chemical free paint. The paint isn’t volatile, preventing damage to the ozone.
Water based paint is better for the wood and absorbs uniformly in comparison to more harmful turpentine based paint.
Acoustic Insulation for Wooden Windows
In recent decades, city centers became a lot noisier. Windows are the main potential source of noise infiltration from the street, meaning a higher level of insulation is essential for our quality of life.
Acoustics are measured in decibels. According to Israeli standards, the minimal requirement of noise reduction for buildings is measured at 24 decibels. Acoustic materials for window frames, however, still don’t always meet the demands of both architects and residents.
At Noga Nagarut we’ve established our noise reduction minimum at 32 decibels by gluing double and even triple glass, terracing wood and attaching double rubber seals and an acoustic guillotine (could not find reference for the correct term) – Providing a practical solution for optimal noise reduction.
Wooden Window Locks
The need to feel safe while still living in an aesthetically pleasing and modern space requires good window locks. The window locks against the lintel with a press and seal mechanism that allows for hermetic closure while simultaneously protecting you from the rain or wind and reducing noise.
Noga Nagarut provides you with shutters and windows with circumferential locks and doors with either circumferential or multipoint bolt locks
