Which window keeps the mould out?

The frame and the edge of glass decide whether a window carries mould risk and how comfortable it feels — not just its U-value. And the climate changes the verdict. Eight sills, one glass, three zones.

Compare the sills

Pick a climate zone.

Tap a zone on the map. Every sill carries the same glass — see the eight ranked by TIRS™ score, with the Mould Index against the NCC limit and the Outcome X surface temperature against the 12.6 °C mould threshold. Tap any sill for all five conditions.

Scores and the Mould Index are TIRS™ assessment outputs; the NCC gate is Mould Index ≤ 3.0 (equivalent to a minimum surface temperature ≥ 12.6 °C). This is an assessment result — the appointed certifying authority determines compliance.

Head to head

Compare two, side by side.

Pick any two sills and read them off against each other in the selected zone — the Outcome X thermal image, the scores and the interface numbers. Same opening, same glass; only the frame changes.
