Intended Use and specifications
IV78 is the engineered wooden window system recommended for new builds and major renovations across Europe. Some markets — UK, Ireland — refer to the same product category as engineered wooden windows. It features a 78mm profile, a 78x83mm triple-layered engineered wood frame, and 40-44mm triple glazing with Low-E glass and argon gas, along with 3 Schlegel Q-Lon perimeter gaskets.
The Uw value is 0.81 W/m²K for the standard size of 1230x1480 mm. For smaller windows (615x740 mm), the Uw increases to 0.96 W/m²K. For larger windows, the Uw drops below 0.81. For nZEB projects, we recommend joinery with a Uw below 1.0 W/m²K as a practical safety margin for energy calculations - the IV78 at 0.81 W/m²K comfortably meets these requirements for all common sizes.
New build, major renovation, or nZEB requirements for a green mortgage - IV78 covers all these scenarios without needing special configurations. If the project requires Passivhaus standards or the existing opening is 68mm, specific series are available for each case.

The Uw 0.81 W/m²K value is calculated for the standard 1230x1480 mm size, using a spruce profile (Uf 1.02 W/m²K), triple glazing with Ug 0.6 W/m²K, and a Warm Edge spacer, following the ISO 10077 methodology. For small windows (615x740 mm), the frame is a larger proportion of the total area - the Uw rises to 0.96. For large windows, the glazing dominates and the Uw drops below 0.81. The nZEB value refers to the calculation size, not the minimum or maximum format.
When IV78 is NOT the right choice
It does not make sense when
- Projects requiring Uw below 0.80 W/m2K - IV92 offers a 92 mm profile and standard Uw 0.71 W/m2K. IV92 series.
- Existing 68mm openings that cannot be widened - IV78 requires a 78x83mm frame; installing it in an opening calibrated for 68mm involves widening the gap, masonry work, and sill reworking. IV68 Series fits without structural modifications - Uw 1.27 W/m²K, which is not nZEB compliant.
- IV78 has no limitations for standard projects. There is no situation in which IV78 is insufficient for a new home or major renovation with nZEB requirements.
IV78 thermal coefficients by Wood species
The values below are for the configuration with triple glazing Ug 0.6 W/m2K, standard size 1230x1480 mm, calculated according to SR EN ISO 10077:
|
Species |
Thermal conductivity lambda (W/m·K) |
Frame Uf (W/m²K) |
|
Spruce |
0.11 |
1.02 |
|
Pine / Light Meranti / Douglas fir |
0.13 |
~1.14 |
|
Ash |
0.16–0.18 |
~1.35 |
|
Oak |
0.18 |
1.40 |
Note: Uw 0.81 W/m²K from the technical sheet is calculated for spruce. For other species, the frame Uf is higher – the final Uw is calculated on request for the specified configuration.
For minimum Uf: spruce or pine. Oak remains the choice for transparent lacquer - higher Uf, Uw calculated individually for each order.

Available Wood species for the IV78 series
D78 is manufactured in seven species of triple or four-layer laminated wood. The species choice influences the frame Uf, the look under transparent lacquer and the behavior in exterior humidity.
Available on order with a longer lead time: larch (natural hardness, mountain altitudes), Douglas fir (lambda about 0.13 W/m.K, reddish-brown grain), ash (lambda about 0.16-0.18 W/m.K, more dimensionally stable than oak).
IV78 Wood-aluminium - Aluminium Exterior, Maintenance-Free
The IV78 series is available in a Wood-aluminium version: powder-coated RAL aluminium on the exterior, laminated wood on the interior. Five variants - from SOFT with direct cladding on the IV78 profile to THERMO PLUS with Uf 0.77 W/m2K and VIG capability.
Completely independent interior/exterior colours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. MC 001/2022 requires Uw <= 1.0 W/m2K for windows. IV78 at the standard size of 1230x1480 mm reaches Uw 0.81 W/m2K - 19% below the allowed threshold.
The Uw of a complete window unit depends on the share of frame area versus glass area. In small windows, the frame represents a larger fraction - and the Uf of the wooden frame is higher than the Ug of the triple glazing (0.6). In large windows, glazing dominates and Uw drops. There is no single Uw regardless of size.
Yes, on request. The 40 mm triple-glazed unit is the standard configuration and the one that ensures Uw 0.81 W/m2K. Double glazing is available for specific situations - the unit Uw will be higher than with the triple-glazed configuration.
VIG (vacuum insulating glass) is glazing with a vacuum layer between panes, Ug <= 0.2 W/m2K. On IV78 with VIG, Uw drops to 0.57 W/m2K. It is justified when the opening does not allow a deeper profile but the energy requirement demands Uw below 0.81. The cost is significantly higher than standard triple glazing.
IV92 has Uw 0.71 W/m2K at the standard size compared to 0.81 for IV78. It has a deeper profile (92 mm) and better frame Uf. It matters when the project requires Uw below 0.80 W/m2K.
6-10 weeks from order confirmation. Orders in spruce or pine are processed in the shortest time.
5 years for all products. It covers manufacturing defects and CE-certified components.
Yes. The term "laminated wood thermal windows" describes exactly what IV78 is - a laminated wood window with insulating glazing. "Thermopane" is a generic popular term used for any window with insulating glazing. IV78 comes with Low-E triple glazing and argon, Ug <= 0.6 W/m2K - significantly better performance than the double glazing usually implied by the popular term.
