The appearance of plastic windows at first somewhat displaced, and then completely replaced the usual wooden structures with glass, reinforced only with a wooden glazing bead. Today it seems that plastic windows have always been, despite the fact that they appeared a little more than 20 years ago.
The advantages of plastic windows over conventional
The main advantage of plastic windows is their excellent tightness. They do not even have microscopic slots, since all joints of the glass surface with the profile have special sealing elements and are additionally treated with sealant. The house or apartment in which the installation of such windows was made is absolutely protected from drafts and the penetration of cold air currents. The owners of these rooms do not have the slightest idea of what it is like to process the windows with putty for the winter or to seal the cracks in them with paper tapes.
The loss of thermal energy through the window openings in this case is so minimal that it can only be compared with the loss of heat through thick brick walls. Experts estimate that the installation of plastic double-glazed windows leads to such savings on heating costs that the costs incurred pay less than in a year. If there is a need to ventilate the room, but the window cannot be opened for some reason, a special valve is mounted to supply oxygen to the structure. This is done in the upper corner of the window and the device provides fresh air with free access, but at the same time does not allow heat to leave the room.
The tightness of plastic window blocks serves not only to reliably preserve heat in the house. This property provides excellent sound insulation, and it is especially appreciated by those who have happened to live near the railway or highway. The installation of windows, which has a triple double-glazed window, protects residents from street noise of almost any intensity, helping to ensure peace and a cozy atmosphere.
