How to choose plastic windows

Plastic windows are not only beautiful and fashionable, they are the key to the comfort of your home. Therefore, it is necessary to choose them carefully and scrupulously, so that the windows served you for a long time and efficiently. Answer uniquely to the question of which window is better, it is impossible, it simply must meet the requirements that you make. When choosing, you need to consider the following functional and specifications.

1
The traffic frequency is one of the first functions for which the window is invented at all. This quality depends on the glass used, and often it happens that the single-chamber window misses the light worse than the multi-chamber.

2
Heat insulation. The window protects the room from heat loss during the cold season. The thermal insulation properties of the window affects the PVC profile, its structural width and the number of air chambers inside the profile itself. Also, the thermal insulation property affects the glass, the number of cameras in it can be from 1 to 6, with conventional and special thermal insulating glass.

3
Noise isolation - this feature is as very important, especially in urban apartments and houses located near the tracks and noisy industries. It is provided at the expense of such indicators: the thickness and type of glass, the distance between the glasses in the window profile, the use of triplex (special laminated glass), the type of glass used, from the tightness of locking the sash. It is also important to correct window installation.

4
Ventilation - ensuring ventilation and air exchange indoor. In the closed state, the windows are sealed, and the ventilation can be provided by opening the shutters, the "micro-taking" functions (the sash, forming the slot to 1 cm) or the "Fortochka" (slot about 5-7 cm). This position of the flaps is provided by special fittings. Also, some firms establish special window hygroregulated devices, which are crashed directly into the window design, without disturbing its tightness, noise and thermal insulation qualities.

5
Safety is ensured by the following factors: Quality of PVC profile, its design, quality and type of glass, anti-burglar fittings. To ensure this function can be used: triplex; Special shockproof film, which passes directly on the glass of the finished window from the inside; Weathered and armored glasses. In addition, a specific installation of the window using special fixtures is required.

6
The profile is the main element of the entire window design, the appearance, service life and functionality of the window depends on its quality. Attention should be paid to its characteristics: the width of the profile, the thickness of the outer walls, the number of air chambers in it, the stability of the geometry of profiles to the deformation.

7
The glass is also an important component of the entire window, the functions of heat and noise insulation depend on it. The quality of the glass unit depends on the quantity and type of glasses used for its manufacture (energy-saving, tempered, reinforced, etc.), from its thickness, the number of air chambers and the tightness of the glass.

8
Fittings are handles, various mounts, traction, brackets. Not only the convenient operation of the window, but also adjust the ventilation and service life of the window depends on its quality and reliability.

9
Installation of the window. He must be professional and correct! Since the quality and timing of the window functional service depends on this.

Also when choosing a window, do not forget about the service and warranty service. Reliable firms confident in the quality of their products give warranty for the service life of the window from 5 to 10 years.
