The FFB Window Division welcomes the reopening of MaPrimeRénov', a victory for housing

This decision marks a recognition of the crucial role of glass walls as a lever for improving housing and reducing energy consumption in homes.

An essential lever for energy efficiency

The government is sending a positive signal consistent with its environmental ambitions. The figures speak for themselves: according to ADEME, poorly insulated windows are responsible for 10 to 15% of a home's heat loss.

Switching to modern double glazing not only improves the energy rating (DPE), it radically transforms living comfort.

A dual performance: insulation and solar gain

Window renovation is essential for improving thermal insulation and helps to eliminate the "energy sieve" or "thermal kettle" status. Indeed, beyond simply acting as a thermal barrier, windows are the only component capable of generating passive energy savings.

• In winter: it optimizes free solar energy input, thus reducing heating needs while preserving indoor heat.
• In summer: combined with effective sun protection, it limits overheating and the use of energy-intensive air conditioning systems.

The window thus contributes to the well-being and health of the occupants and preserves the healthiness of the building.

Step-by-step renovation: a realistic approach

Maintaining the insulation of glazed surfaces through a step-by-step approach is a crucial benefit for French households' purchasing power and helps attract owners of multi-family dwellings to undertake renovation work. It allows households to renovate their homes at their own pace, with concrete steps tailored to their financial means, while progressing towards overall energy efficiency.
