True and fiction about plastic windows

Plastic windows are purchased with the expectation for a long service life. Despite the test of time (the first window was made in 1954), many doubt the reliability and quality of the windows. But, nevertheless, in the Kursk region alone there are dozens of firms engaged in the installation of plastic windows. So people make a conscious choice and that’s right. We will dispel some myths.

PVC is not a plastic, it does not burn, but only melts under the influence of high temperature. That is, we can say that plastic windows prevent the spread of fire.

Inside the profile there is an amplifying element or metal reinforcement. It increases the strength of the structure and protects against the exposure of temperatures. Daily a plastic profile suffers from a temperature difference, expands when heated, and narrowed when cooling. In Galaxy window systems, steel reinforcement has a frame, impost and sash, this is one of the best reliable designs in the market of plastic windows.

In practice, it is proved that the number of cameras does not affect energy efficiency. Whether it will be warm in the room, depending on the width of the camera and the type of window.

The fire resistance of the structure depends on many indicators. For example, window fittings, the greater the density of the fit of the sash to the opening, the less oxygen in the apartment, which means that the spread of fire will be difficult.

Some believe that the installation of plastic windows violates the ecological balance of the dwelling, that PVC distinguishes substances that are dangerous to human health. In some way, this is the right statement. Under the influence of fire, the material distinguishes an unpleasant and specific smell. But thanks to the smell, you can understand in time that a fire occurred and quickly react. In the usual state, PVC can not affect a person in any way.

If you choose windows according to the fire resistance indicator, the specialists of the Stroy Kursk company will install aluminum windows or metal -plastic WDS systems. Aluminum does not burn and does not distinguish caustic substances.

Plastic care is simple. The material is not exposed to moisture, the fungus is not formed on it. It is only necessary to conduct maintenance and regulate accessories.

Using a window film, you can “paint” the design, it turns out beautifully at a minimum of costs.
