Thermal resistance
For each frame the thermal resistance represents a combined effect of the heat loss
through the frame and all the edge effects (effects due to thermal interaction between
glass, panel and frame). The heat transfer assessment method is described in the thermal
standard "Standard for specifying and assessing for heat transfer, Centre for Window and
In order to evaluate the performances of the profiles in terms of condensations, the results have been
presented as:
- temperature distribution with indication of the minimum internal surface temperature on the profile;
- dew point line (and consequent area of condensation) for internal Relative Humidity of 50%.
