What is Salamander PVC Joinery?

Salamander profiles are used by window manufacturers across Europe, including Neofort BIZ in Bucharest. Salamander systems use Class A PVC, lead-free, with a guaranteed durability of at least 40 years and certified UV colour resistance.

Insulating Glass — The Choice That Matters Most

Glass represents 70-80% of the window surface and has the greatest impact on thermal insulation. Neofort BIZ works exclusively with Saint-Gobain SGG glass. Double Low-E glass (2 panes) is the standard solution for renovations with a Ug of 1.0-1.1 W/m2K. Triple Low-E glass with argon (3 panes) is mandatory for nZEB certification, achieving Ug values of 0.5-0.6 W/m2K.

Professional Installation — The Difference Between Good and Excellent

The best PVC joinery incorrectly installed loses 30-50% of its thermal performance. Neofort BIZ applies the RAL standard for window installation: pre-compressed butyl tape on the exterior, vapour barrier film on the interior and PU foam between frame and wall. For nZEB projects, installation includes Blaugelb Triotherm+ sub-sill frames that eliminate thermal bridging.

PVC Windows and nZEB Certification — What You Need to Know

The nZEB regulation in Romania requires a maximum overall heat transfer coefficient (Uw) of 1.1 W/m2K for new buildings. For Uw values below 1.0 W/m2K — required for passive houses — BluEvolution 92 with triple Low-E Saint-Gobain glass and Blaugelb installation is recommended. Neofort BIZ provides complete nZEB consultancy.
