Germans, who know how to count money, became leaders in plastic window production
Which materials best meet the population's demands in this area today? Experts have concluded that it is frames made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) – which have already become familiar plastic windows. Work on modernizing frames from this material has been going on for several decades. It was necessary to ensure that the components of the structure could be changed without damaging the entire system.
The hard hydrocarbon that is part of PVC can boast the following qualities: resistance to chemical influences, excellent fire resistance, and wear resistance. Thanks to the use of this material, the service life of windows is significantly increased.
Everyone knows that with a sharp temperature drop, which is typical of old wooden windows, moisture condensation increases – that's why windows sweat. It is plastic windows that will help get rid of the cold in the window – the main cause of humidity.
The greater your need for sound insulation, the thicker the window frame you should install. Currently, the profile width in cross-section can reach 15 cm. Several panes of glass separated from each other by air chambers reliably neutralize unwanted sounds and will not let a single gram of cold air through. For a window with the most powerful characteristics in terms of sound and heat insulation, steel inserts and rubber seals are provided. This will make your window practically invulnerable to external influences.
Also do not forget that the flexibility of this material (PVC) allows you to make windows of any configuration from it – round, arched, Gothic. All of them will have the same excellent qualities.
And another interesting point. Currently, the leader in the domestic market for plastic window sales is Germany, which is not surprising, since in that country almost 50% of people prefer PVC windows.
