Choosing the best profile of plastic windows , ideal for quality and conditions

This production has long been a good alternative to traditional wood window frames.Disputes about what plastic windows and how to choose the best quality - are endless.Both supporters and opponents of the "plastic" are the most, in their view, strong arguments.At the same time, no one denies - in the operation and maintenance of plastic windows is much easier.

However, few of the potential buyers know that of all the large range of these structures, not every product is suitable for your particular room.And here there is a certain complexity - a profile of plastic windows is the best fit for your house or apartment, with all its peculiarities - storey located in the terrain, prevailing winds, climate, finally.

First , the same model (profile type) are different, depending on the manufacturer, although the structural differences seem to be no.

Second , if you can not mount the "plastic" on their own, then we have to turn to specialists.Numerous companies involved in the installation of windows, only specialize in a specific type of profile.Therefore, they define themselves, that they will be installed.But the question is - and us which is suitable?

Those who decided to make a "glazing" is plastic windows, we will help to understand what are the criteria to assess the appropriateness of the choice of a model profile.Perhaps that will be offered to the company to install windows is not acceptable for us.

Stop on the color scheme makes no sense - here everyone has their own "orientation."But in terms of technical features, performance characteristics, it is worth considering in more detail.

Basis Profile

It should be a steel "galvanizing".Such material corrosion is not terrible.Moreover, such constructions are more resistant to deformation.

Width

is clear that the thicker the window, the less heat loss.But appropriate weight.For our climatic conditions, experts advise to choose the profile with a thickness of 7 to 9 cm. But the samples of 58 mm, by the way, cheaper, better use for the southern regions.

number of cameras

This indicator affects not only the heat saving, but in many ways, and the cost.The number of cells varies from 3 to 6. Some spetsfirmy often and insistently recommend to acquire profiles with 4 or 5 cameras.But practice shows that for most of our regions, taking into account the climate, are optimal 3-chamber products.

Features glass

Without dwelling on all the characteristics (number of cameras covering, gas filling), we note that the thickness of the package shall not be less than 4.5 cm. This is also dictated by the heat preservation of collateral in the room for our climate.If necessary, increase the quality of sound insulation (if the question is not particularly interested in insulation) should be selected glazing (glass or single) of not less than 6 mm.

Availability of quality assurance

If great importance is attached to the profile name, then first of all meant RAL certificate.It reflects not only all the characteristics of the product, but there is information about where it is produced.That is why there are identical profiles, for which the price - different.

But this is not so simple.Experts advise to give preference to products of German firms as the most reliable in all respects.Recently, however, some of them organized the release of "plastic" in the territory of our country, in its technology and its equipment.But with this and we need to understand.Is it a product, for example, KBE, or only a makeshift imitation?

However, it is believed that such recognition is provided largely effective "promotion" of products.Many of those who have already picked up, and with skill, plastic windows and then they adjust and control, believe that domestic products are not worse at all.You can find very positive feedback, for example, on window profiles Proplex.There are a number of other products which have a high reputation among the population, and the price is much lower than overseas.

Useful tips

Selecting the "right" profile - this is not a guarantee of the quality of the entire window structure.The main thing - who made it?Known manufacturers of specialized products only deliver them to the market, and complete assembly (profile + glazing) is engaged in a number of organizations, some of them - and installation.By the way, how well they do it?The question is very significant.

Therefore, in the case of the same KBE a defect in the operation of absolutely innocent.Claims - the manufacturer of the window (or installer).Therefore, before buying a product or signing of the Treaty at its installation it is advisable to gather some information.Much can be learned through friends, the Internet, and on the basis of feedback and make appropriate conclusions.

way, experts suggest that certain quality criteria for window profiles do not exist.For example, the quality factor, the strength.Who figured out what criteria were also tested - knows (again, the question of "untwisted" products).

On many sites there are articles which compares profiles of individual producers and almost distributed "prize" place.We believe this approach is incorrect and just want to remind the reader that the universal "means the total" does not exist by definition.In addition, information on many sites, unfortunately - just a marketing ploy, hidden advertising their products and veiled "running down" the competition.

Conclusion

best profile - one of whom speak good neighbors, co-workers, when they speak of their own, no longer facing the first year of the windows.And given enough information to understand yourself what works best for the glazing of your home.
