Types of plastic windows on the Russian market

We can no longer imagine our homes without plastic windows, window sills and panels, we even had plastic utensils. It's good or bad - our descendants will say. If we talk about the types of plastic windows, then their assortment is very diverse. There are brought products from Germany, Finland or other countries. But most often another scheme works.

The profile is brought to our country by whips, and here, at Russian factories, products are made from it. Another option, when the profile is stretched from us, but from the material that is brought from abroad. There are products that are made of a purely Russian profile.

Therefore, the plastic windows differ primarily in terms of the manufacturer, and therefore also in price. Russian products are cheaper than foreign analogues. But there are other differences. Now you can order products from the profile, which has 3 or 4 airbags. Some firms produce 5-chamber windows. The thickness of the profile and its performance depend on the number of chambers. The frame with a thickness of up to 65 mm has 3 chambers, and for a profile of 74 mm and higher there can be even 6 or 8.

If we consider the types of profiles of plastic windows, then they differ not only in the size of the frame and the number of chambers. For the temperature indexes, the thickness of the plastic walls is also important. Even a reduction of some 2 mm, gives significant cost savings, but worsens the heat performance.

Types of plastic windows also differ in metal, located inside the profile of plastic. The closed loop allows to withstand large static loads. This is especially important on large openings or glazing balconies, when the blocks are made in a single design from top to bottom. The wind load is also felt on high-rise buildings. Metal with an open loop is made in the form of the letter "P". It lowers the profile, but also weakens its characteristics.

If we are talking about the types of plastic windows, then it is necessary to mention their external finish. The cheapest window is made of white plastic. The colored profile or laminated film under the oak color will cost more. The method of painting differs. If it is applied to an already prepared profile, then this window is cheaper than if it is made of an extruded profile. Staining during the manufacturing process gives a better coverage, since the ink particles are mixed with the top layer of plastic and create a single alloy.

The presence of lamination allows you to expand the types of plastic windows for finishing the profile. You can order a window with an imitation of a nut or even a cherry. True, all this affects the cost. The shape of the window also introduces its own diversity. The windows are rectangular, in the form of a trapezoid, a circle or a triangle. Modern hardware allows you to open almost any configuration of windows. The price directly depends on the characteristics of the selected double-glazed windows.

Therefore, choosing the profile or firm that produces it, pay attention first of all to the operational characteristics. But it is better to consider the window in conjunction with the installation. Even an excellent warm profile with a poor-quality installation will not be able to protect the room from environmental factors.
