The Warmest Plastic Windows - The Best Friend of the Home Furnace

Once I was visiting a friend of mine, I noticed that all the "homemakers" in his apartment were somehow very warmly dressed, literally wrapped up in all sorts of pants and sweaters. On the legs - woolen socks grandmother knitting. The reason for this extravagant show was revealed very soon.

The fact is that the room was, to put it mildly, cool. At the same time, modern plastic windows were installed in the apartment!

The essence of the problem was in the low-quality assembly of windows and the same, careless installation - so frequent companions of the situation when the windows changed according to the design of the sanation. To search for a company that produced and installed windows in this case is not an easy task. Meanwhile, the windows were really blowing, and the glasses featured crystal patterns from melted ice. Such window patterns can now be found even in public transport during the frosty season.

Since my work is related to the window sphere, every time I sort out the professional interest, which windows are installed in the house and how they cope with their functions. In this case, the profile brand did not say anything, just as the finesse of the hardware did not provide any additional information. The function of their windows performed extremely unimportantly. The only thing left to advise a friend is to use the help of specialists who will repair the structures to bring them into working order.

For those who only choose windows, I would like to advise you to stop choosing the warmest plastic windows with quality fittings and an " energy-saving" series .

What are energy-saving windows, series?

Energy-saving - that is, those that help save energy or reduce its consumption. In the literal sense of the word, energy-saving windows protect not only energy, but also your money, since you do not "drown" your apartment in the winter and do not "cool" it in the summer by spending valuable kilowatts.

Energy-saving windows have high rates of resistance to heat transfer. They like a good heat insulator keep the temperature of the room not allowing it to cool in the winter and heat up in the summer. No additional costs to achieve the optimum temperature regime, comfortable and cozy, but ...

Energy-saving windows are more expensive!

Yes this is true. For the manufacture of plastic windows with energy-saving functions, more expensive materials are used:

1. This is a thicker and multi-chambered PVC profile.
2. Fittings with high strength and reliability of the vestibule (there are more elements, metal and therefore it is also more expensive).
3. Energy-saving double-glazed windows. With low-emission, but not ordinary glass. As an air chamber filling in such a double-glazed window an inert gas is used (which also adds hundreds of rubles to the cost of the window).

Thus, the product is more expensive than a simple PVC window. Why, then, in the whole world it is the energy efficient windows that become the most popular in recent times.

The economy should be economical.

According to simple calculations, the savings in heating, which the household receives, installing instead of conventional plastic windows, warm energy-efficient - more than covers the overpayment for more expensive windows after 5-7 years. In the conditions of the countries of Europe where there is no central heating, and every tenant of the house pays for the amount of energy expended, this saving pays off even earlier. That's the whole secret!

In any case, the choice of windows remains a matter for everyone: one will prefer to wait until his house is glazed by the government, someone using an old checked tape will cope with any frost by gluing windows for the winter ...

However, the example of this story should lead to the idea that not always free windows (on sanation) justify their name. Do not wait for miracles from the side, it is unlikely that someone will do you better than yourself.
