Contesto : vetri di finestre
Vorrei un consiglio su come tradurre la seguente frase:
E' un vetro con le identiche prestazioni di cui sopra
Io ho tradotto:" It's a pane with the same performances as above".... solo che non la parola "performances" mi sembra un po' forzata...magari qualche altro termine più appropriato
Grazie in anticipo per il consiglio

benefits
Obviously it depends on the context. Web sites selling windows talk up the benefits e.g.
safety, benefits, security & style
However, if the list of items in the 'prestazioni' is more like a list of 'caratteristici' then it could be a list of specifications (which have benefits for the customer).

Example sentence:
Double glazing has long been associated with health
high performance double glazing with sound insulation and heat enhancing benefits
