Nowadays, the production of plastic windows has reached such a level that they are already a common thing in our life.
Such windows can be seen both in the city high -rise building and in the country house. But an interesting fact — even with such popularity of PVC windows, not everyone knows about their features, but this is necessary for the proper operation of the windows. You can say that to help in such matters
There are specialized companies and their consultants, but you yourself understand that at least some characteristics and operating rules are required to know.
Which plastic windows to choose?
As the first step, let’s discuss fairy tales and legends that now go between consumers of PVC windows. The most common myth — PVC windows are far from such an environmentally friendly product as wood windows. Here I must say that toys for children and jogurt jars are produced from the same material as these windows. And in order to produce windows from high -quality wood, the material must be impregnated with special chemical compositions. They will protect the wood from fire and moisture, as well as insects and bacteria, but at the same time will very significantly lower the level of environmental friendliness.
Another legend says that PVC windows are the best option for protection from frosts, noise from the street and dust. Although the plastic windows really protect well from dust, but they heat these and wooden windows the same way. All because heat does not go through profiles (plastic or wooden), but through glasses, which are essentially almost the same in both cases. For this reason, you do not need to expect a complete thermal insulation from plastic windows, otherwise you will inevitably disappoint.
There is the same problem with noise isolation. Yes, such windows eliminate high -frequency sounds quite well, which means that you do not have to listen to the singing of a walking company, the cries of the children or the noise of the wind. But isolating the sounds of low frequencies is not so simple, so the noise of jackpots or a huge dump truck that drives nearby will be weakened, but quite audible.
Sometimes you can hear that PVC windows prices are much higher than ordinary wooden. This can only be agreed with this when it comes to grunted shabby frames of old wooden windows. If you want to buy good wood windows in the modern market, you should be a rather wealthy person. Such windows are usually exclusive to ensure luxury of the house, and in our time even the best of plastic windows will not hit the pocket like a luxurious exclusive thing.
The main, strictly speaking, the reason for the acquisition of plastic windows is a number of their operational qualities. How the main thing is that such windows can not accumulate moisture or water. Also, when you choose the design, it must be remembered that it is possible to order all types of fabric and frames for ordering all types of configurations. Even if you want a round window window, it does not puzzle the manufacturer and you will receive it.
During a conversation with the manager, do not forget to pay attention to the issues of resistance to various kinds of climatic phenomena and fire safety. Be careful if the company’s employees begin to praise too much, for example, the possibility of their windows to save heat or isolation of sound and at the same time will condemn the products of other companies. Think, maybe then it is worth contacting other companies?
