All aluminum PH windows?

[Markus Barrera-Kolb]

We've working on a project that's headed in the Passive House direction, though with plenty of challenges ahead. One of these is that the clients are very much interested in an all-aluminum window system. So far the only one I've found that looks like a possibility is a fully thermally broken one by Schüco (the AWS90.SI). Is anyone aware of any other alternatives? It's always great to be able to give the client at least two choices. Or perhaps we'll be able to talk them into a clad wood unit after all...

Thanks & cheers,

Markus

Hi Markus,

Greeting from the International Passive House Conference in Frankfurt (I had dinner with Adam tonight!).

Perhaps you can talk your client into something less likely to condense moisture on the interior (even when thermally broken!) so I recommend the H-Window (Invented and manufactured in Norway, but made in the US (now Wisconsin) for 20+ years.  This is the tightest window made in America (from my research)--It doesn't matter if the window u-value is amazing when most of the fiberglass windows PH consultants use, leak like a sieve.

H-Window invented the spilka hinge (180 degree horiz. axis rotating for max ventilation and cleaning).

Best,

jb
