Many inhabitants formed a definite opinion about the plastic windows. They tend to think of them as another evil, which came with the development of civilization. I'll try to dispel the most common misconceptions.
1. PVC windows environmentally unfriendly and so harmful to health.
Products made of PVC. Polyvinyl - a chemical compound of chlorine, carbon and hydrogen. Fearfully? Yes, the elements themselves harmful, but the finished product is not allocated any heavy metal nor poisonous toxins. Therefore, damage to the PVC windows - a myth.
Quality PVC profile confirms the certificate of conformity. If you doubt the quality of our products, ask to show it. Certified profile is more expensive, but it's your health, and it is not worth saving.
2. Wooden windows better than plastic.
Unlike wooden windows plastic require little or no additional service, they do not swell from moisture. If you like the classic color of wooden windows, you can select a profile with staining wood. It should be clarified that there is a factory profile of different colors. Film is applied to it by heat, and thus it becomes an integral part of the profile.
We tend to look at the Western experience. So, in Europe 45% of the plastic frames and a choice between plastic or wooden frames - it is rather a matter of taste rather than ecology and material possibilities.
3. The more cameras in the profile, the better.
Indeed, the more cameras in your profile, the better this profile thermal insulation. But the three-chamber profile is equivalent to laying two bricks, it is absolutely sufficient if the climate of the middle band. Profile with five and a large number of cameras installed in Arctic conditions.
Sales statistics show that the most sold it three-compartment PVC windows. Ask the seller a consultant, he has demonstrated to the profile in section.
4. PVC windows "do not breathe."
Saying that the windows do not breathe, man in the street means that these windows do not allow in enough air space. Installation of PVC windows made airtight, and gaps that have to prokleivat owners of wooden frames, they do not. Condensate acts on any frames on the law of physics. And there is absolutely no difference, wood, plastic or aluminum frame you.
Modern PVC windows are equipped with multi-stage ventilation systems. Ventilate the room for 5 minutes a day, or set the frame on a slot airing and it will be solution to the problem.
5. Plastic window yellow with time.
This myth is under a true ground. In the manufacture of PVC profiles use special additives that make the profile of white for the entire period of his service.
But in the modern world many manufacturers want to save, because the whole PVC profile manufactured under license in Russia. And you need to choose the profile of the company, the manufacturer of which values its name.
If you choose any of the goods need to follow the golden rule: "quality and cheap does not happen."
