Air recirculation with perimeter microventilation systems

Systems to ensure the right air exchange in the home

To ensure correct aeration or ventilation of the rooms with minimal heat dispersion, the perimeter microventilation system is used.

Inside the walls of our homes there are numerous potential enemies, such as mites, dust, harmful volatile substances, carbon monoxide and other substances that are very dangerous for our health. salute. So how can we ensure that we are in a healthy and friendly environment?

Therefore, in addition to choosing the right materials, it is of fundamental importance to ensure that there is the right air recirculation.

There are numerous systems to ensure the correct air exchange in closed environments: among these, the controlled mechanical ventilation system, but also the right windows can really make a difference.

The benefits of ventilation systems

For the above reasons, ensuring good ventilation It is essential to enjoy significant benefits both for our health and for that of the building in which we live.

Health Benefits of Proper Ventilation

L’stale air In fact, it can lead to various disorders, from simple headaches to more serious problems.

The mold generates micro-toxins that can lead to allergies with consequences both on the visual and ocular system and on the respiratory system, sometimes even serious ones such as asthma.

The importance of air recirculation to avoid the formation of mold

Good ventilation, which translates into correct air circulation, allows the internal environment to be re-oxygenated and prevents any condensation and mould, which are potentially harmful to health.

Healthy and comfortable environment with microventilated windows

Thanks to the air exchange you also have the right comfort internal, determined precisely by a balanced relationship between temperature and humidity. Opening windows at regular intervals is also an excellent solution to facilitate air exchange.

The advantages for the home (and for the pockets)

Mould, condensation and stale air also have negative effects on the structure of the house: not only are they unsightly, but they also compromise its performance in terms of both structure and energy.

Il thermo-hygrometric comfort It is determined by a temperature of around 20°C and a humidity that varies between 45% and 55%. To ensure these conditions, it is not enough to leave the windows closed or have good insulation on the walls.

Thermo-hygrometric comfort ensured only with the right air exchange

Usually the sensation of cold leads us to raise the thermostat level, while if we feel hot, it is natural for us to turn on the air conditioning: however this may not be enough since the sensation of hot or cold can also depend on the amount of humidity present in the air, which can also be regulated by maintaining an adequate level of ventilation.

This precaution not only helps to preserve the healthiness of the environments, but also determines large savings in terms of energy and for our pockets, since heating and cooling costs are reduced.

Micro-ventilation through window frames

It is not only with mechanical methods that the air exchange we were talking about can be guaranteed, but also simply with the choice of the right windows and doors. Not only must they have certain technical characteristics, but they must also be installed correctly to avoid nullifying the work done and not making the most of the quality of the products themselves in terms of acoustic, thermal and, more generally, energy performance.

In addition to opening windows wide, you can also use the microventilation position available on some window frames to properly ventilate the rooms.

Even in this case we are faced with a natural ventilation system, or rather microventilation, present on the more advanced and modern fixtures.

How microventilation works

The windows with traditional microventilation have an opening system that can be defined as reduced limelightsince it leaves a few millimetres of opening, so as to allow air to pass through without losing heat.

This is a system that guarantees a minimum amount of air recirculation, which is essential to preserve the healthiness of the environment in the presence of modern, completely hermetically sealed window frames.

Among the window and door manufacturers that have adopted this technology there is Oknoplasta leader in the production of designer windows with great insulating properties. It is a multinational company founded in Krakow in 1994 and specialized in the production of PVC and aluminum windows.

The OKNOPLAST windAIR system: just turn the handle to activate it!

Oknoplast has recently launched windAIRan innovative microventilation system that is even more effective and comfortable, available for your PVC windows.

In addition to ensuring optimal ventilation, compared to a tilt opening, windAIR offers additional advantages on several fronts, from safety to energy saving.

In fact, it is a system of perimeter microventilation which allows an opening of just 6 mm along the entire perimeter of the window frame, between the door and the frame, which can be activated simply by rotating the handle 180°.

The advantages of the WindAIR system: design, energy saving and safety

WindAIR It is a completely invisible system, and therefore does not alter the aesthetics and brightness of the window in any way.

The simple 6 mm opening, precisely because it is very small, guarantees excellent air quality with minimal heat dispersion.

Furthermore, this special hardware also guarantees great safety. Keeping windows open for ventilation, in fact, can be risky and attract intruders during the night or in our absence.

WindAIR overcomes this problem because, thanks to the fact that it is a perimeter microventilation, the opening position cannot be noticed from the outside. Furthermore, in single-leaf windows, it allows to reach the safety class RC2 burglar-proof for hardware.

Say goodbye to mosquitoes and draughts: with windAIR, comfort is of a high level

Another problem you may have with tilted windows for ventilation is the entry of bedbugs, mosquitoes and other insects annoying.

With this system windAIR Of Oknoplasthaving a limited opening, allows you to avoid the entry of bedbugs, mosquitoes and other annoying flying insects – a problem that often occurs when keeping windows tilted open.

Oknoplast windAir guarantees acoustic and thermo-hygrometric comfort

Furthermore, windAIR not only does it also guarantee excellent thermo-hygrometric comfortfor the reasons mentioned above, but also greater well-being from an acoustic point of view. In fact, compared to a tilt-and-turn door, with windAIR you have better sound insulation and there is no risk of the door itself banging if hit by a gust of wind or of annoying air currents developing between rooms.

Award per windAIR at Oknoplast

Thanks to its numerous advantages and high degree of innovation, Oknoplast windAIR was elected Product of the Year 2021 for the ‘Windows’ category, in a research conducted by IRI on a sample of 12,000 consumers.
