Windows that meet modern requirements are primarily made of modern materials. Nowadays, plastic is also widely used in the production of these structures alongside traditional wood and aluminum. The word "plastic windows" is no surprise nowadays. But a few years ago no one had ever heard of them. If only somebody could see them somewhere in distant and foreign lands. Today, these products are widely used in Western Europe (especially in Germany). Manufacturers of this product say: plastic windows keep heat in the room, never blow. These windows need not be painted and sealed in the winter, they are not short. In a word - fairy tale, no windows.
If you have also decided to buy a miracle…
Plastic profiles are imported mainly from abroad. And it would be advisable to determine their place of origin. Plastic imported into Latvia from Turkey or other warm countries is unlikely to withstand our harsh islands and temperature fluctuations. It is necessary to check the "import documents": must have a certificate of conformity of the use of PVC profiles in the climatic conditions of our Republic.
But even from the most qualitative profile, some good "masters" are looking to make totally useless products.
Modern window manufacturing - high-tech production, it does not suffer from fish fauna. High-quality plastic windows can only be manufactured in a modern factory with high-precision equipment.
Do not run immediately to the nearest firm. It can just be quite easy to buy at least what you expected.
Make sure that the company you are watching has a state-licensed, raw-material and marketable product compliance certificate. Good if you show (even on a videotape) your production, where you can evaluate the consistency of the technological process, production culture, stock of stock, etc. Find out what kind of warranty the manufacturer gives to its products. Be cautious if the warranty is given for too short a period of 1 year or too long (20 years). If the company has all the necessary documents and a package of its own production, it shows that the company can cooperate. It is not possible, however, that production enclosures, expensive equipment and trained personnel suddenly disappear within one hour.
So, a qualitative profile and a modern manufacturing process are the inevitable conditions of a real plastic window. But that's not all. All can be damaged by unprofessional assembly.
NEVER trust the installation of purchased windows for the "left" team. Of course, you will pay them less than a prestigious company. But saving the windows fixed in the columns with nails and hermetic tow will not be possible anymore. Installers-devastators do not follow (possibly due to ignorance) the technology of assembly work, they do not have the necessary materials and they do not know the methods of turning a quality window into a element of splendor that you can protect from cold and noise to the least. Remember that the lifetime of your windows is 90% dependent on the correct installation.
Assembling is considered to be of high quality if the following conditions are met:
- Windows are installed in strict accordance with the vertical line. This is necessary for the long and safe functioning of the fittings;
- All joints are carefully sealed with the appropriate material;
- Fastening elements without additional elements ensure safe and rigid holding of the window in the window box;
- The gap between the window block and the building elements is filled with insulating noise-thermal protection material;
- External stitches from the street side have been carefully treated to avoid the contact of the noise-insulating material with the ultraviolet rays.
Failure to follow the listed conditions indicates that the most common halters want to install the windows. Today, plastic windows are one of the most popular items. Production and installation of PVC structures - profile - is a very promising direction. Not many companies offer their services in this market. Some of them, without wanting to spend money on purchasing quality kits, investing in production development, staff training, offer consumers a low quality product. It spreads information about poor quality of plastic windows, their non-compliance with Latvian climate. Similar rumors make buyers worry about a good modern product and hinder the work of conscientious manufacturers. Plastic windows - this is a fairly expensive product that serves a long time. Their purchase could be compared to the acquisition of a super-modern music center: without the advice of the wise man, it is not. In order to avoid any problems with windows, contact the specialists of EUROLOGI.
