What to Consider When Choosing a Window
The right window choice is a key investment that directly affects your home’s comfort, security, and energy efficiency.
Profile Quality and Number of Chambers
The PVC profile forms the skeleton of your window and is the key to longevity. Wall thickness, resistance to UV radiation, and compliance with international quality standards such as RAL ensure your windows stand the test of time. A higher chamber count (5–6 is ideal) translates into better thermal and acoustic insulation.
Glass Technology: The Heart of Insulation
As the largest surface area of the window, glass plays a critical role in insulation. Instead of standard double glazing, choose Low-E coated and argon-filled heat-control glass, which can reduce heat loss by up to 50%. This technology keeps warmth inside in winter and outside in summer, delivering year-round comfort and energy savings.
Reinforcement Steel: Strength and Safety
Galvanized reinforcement steel placed inside the PVC profile increases resistance to wind loads and prevents sagging or deformation over time. Especially for wide openings and high floors, using reinforcement of the correct thickness and shape ensures your window remains both safe and durable.
Gaskets and Seals: The Shield Against Leakage
High-quality EPDM rubber gaskets ensure air, water, and dust tightness. Dual or triple continuous gaskets that retain flexibility without hardening or cracking over time contribute directly to thermal and acoustic insulation. Proper seating of the gaskets in the profile channels is crucial.
Hardware and Locking Systems
Smooth operation, secure locking, and long-term reliability depend on the quality of the hardware and locking systems. Stainless components, espagnolette mechanisms with multi-point locking, and robust window handles provide ease of use and extra protection against intrusion.
Proper Fabrication and Professional Installation
Even the best materials can lose their advantages if installed incorrectly. Leveling the frame, filling gaps with the right insulating materials (foam, sealant), and ensuring proper water drainage are critical. Therefore, the experience of the manufacturer-dealer and the professionalism of the installation team are among the most important selection criteria.
