High-performance windows and doors with low u-value are often seen as a key to improving
energy efficiency and comfort in buildings. However, even the best materials will fail to deliver
their full benefits if the installation isn’t done correctly. The Click-In system supports a more
effective installation process, making it easier to achieve the proper insulation needed
between the frame and wall for both sound and thermal performance.
Why Insulation Matters
The insulation between the window or door frame and the surrounding wall is critical in
maintaining a building’s energy efficiency and acoustic performance. Inadequate sealing and
poor installation can lead to air leakage, heat loss, and increased noise, which are all too
common when traditional methods are used. In countries with warm climates, this also
exacerbates the challenge of keeping indoor spaces cool, leading to higher energy
consumption for air conditioning. Over time, this affects both the comfort of occupants and
the building’s energy costs.
For both new buildings and rehabilitation projects, proper insulation is key to meeting modern
performance standards. This is where the Click-In system can make a difference—not by
insulating itself, but by enabling a more precise, secure installation that supports the work of
professionals, ensuring insulation materials are applied correctly and gaps are filled, helping
to maintain a comfortable indoor climate.
Supporting Better Thermal Insulation
Thermal performance in windows and doors depends on more than just the quality of the
glass or frame. Even if you invest in energy-efficient glazing, its value can be compromised
by poor installation practices. The Click-In system simplifies and standardizes the process,
making it easier for installers to ensure that the window or door is positioned accurately,
leaving less room for error and reducing the chances of thermal bridges or drafts around the
edges.
What sets the Click-In system apart is its ability to leave the gap between the window frame
and the wall completely open. This design gives installers the flexibility to use their preferred
insulation materials, with the option to apply them from both the inside and outside.
Additionally, the material used in our Click-In system is a specialized steel that conducts 20
times less heat and cold compared to traditional products. By providing a simpler, more
reliable way to align the frame, Click-In supports installers in achieving the necessary
airtightness. This translates to better energy retention in the building, helping maintain a
stable indoor climate, reducing energy bills, and contributing to long-term sustainability goals.
Enhancing Sound Insulation
Soundproofing is another critical factor that depends heavily on proper installation. Even the
most sound-resistant glass will lose effectiveness if there are gaps or poor seals between the
frame and the wall. The Click-In system aids in a more exact installation, making it easier for
professionals to apply proper sealing materials around the frame, resulting in enhanced
sound insulation.
Whether you’re rehabilitating older structures or working on a new construction project, the
Click-In system helps ensure that windows and doors perform optimally. This leads to a
quieter, more comfortable indoor environment, especially important in urban areas or noisy
surroundings.
Rehabilitation and New Builds: Click-In:s Installation Support
In rehabilitation projects, where the original building might not have been designed with
modern airtightness or insulation in mind, the Click-In system offers installers the support
needed to retrofit new windows and doors effectively. It allows for the precise placement and
sealing necessary to improve both thermal and acoustic insulation in older structures.
For new builds, the Click-In system helps ensure that energy efficiency and soundproofing
standards are met right from the start. It supports installers in meeting tight building codes
and achieving high-performance results without the complications that often come with
traditional installation methods.
_________________________________________________________
In summary, the Click-In system supports proper insulation by facilitating a more precise and
reliable installation process. While the system itself doesn’t replace the need for insulation
expertise, it provides the tools needed to ensure windows and doors are installed
correctly—helping you maximize the performance of your high-quality materials, both in
terms of energy efficiency and soundproofing.
