There are 3 main types of windows. The first 2 are wooden. Some are old cheap frames that let the heat through, others are luxury elite models. The third type - the golden mean - plastic windows. They isolate the room from extraneous noise, retain heat, are functional and look great. But for this you need to choose a reliable and experienced manufacturer, which is sometimes not always easy to do. Further, to solve this problem, a rating from the best companies engaged in the production of plastic window profiles will be presented.
The best manufacturers of plastic windows for home
Ahead of you waiting for the top five manufacturers of plastic windows. Is information objective? Of course. Various factors were taken into account:
- Reviews and popularity. Best of all can say about the product, those who have already bought and enjoyed. Therefore, first of all, attention was paid to the comments of those who installed plastic windows of one of the manufacturers;
- Quality. Profiles should last for a long time - do not lose color, do not deform, regularly open and close;
- Security. A few years ago it was claimed that the plastic windows had a shelf life of 5 years. After that, they release toxic substances. These profiles can be purchased now, if you save too much. But the best brands use only new material, which is absolutely safe;
- Specifications. Mounting depth, chamber profile and so on - all this is important. Therefore, the best manufacturer should give the opportunity to make a choice, and not buy "what they give."
Salamander - if you do not mind the money
German brand that opens our rating. The profile itself is really good. It is made of quality material and presented in a wide range. Salamander allows you to purchase windows with a variety of characteristics. You can even install a single-chamber profile.
According to the heat-insulating and other characteristics, it is inferior to windows with 3–6 cameras. But if we compare it with already almost antiques - wooden windows with two glasses, the advantage is obvious. It consists in complete tightness that allows to keep heat in the winter.
If to judge in general, the production of Salamander is only slightly inferior to the profiles of the following manufacturers in the rating. But there is one significant disadvantage. The price of the goods of this German company is sometimes very different from the price of competitors, and you guessed it, not for the better.
In addition, you can often find a fake Salamander. This is not the fault of the manufacturer, but buyers often remain deceived. That is why Salamander is all 5th.
WDS is the best in Ukraine
Despite the fact that the company began to exist relatively recently (in 2006), WDS is a well-known Ukrainian brand that is popular in all CIS countries. And this contributed to a number of reasons:
- Making for "their". Profiles were developed specifically for the weather conditions of Ukraine, Russia and Belarus. Therefore, neither hot summer nor frosty winters will not disturb the comfort in the house;
- Wide range of. WDS is not limited to one or two collections. For the summer of 2016, the company has developed 5 series. They differ in price, number of cameras and other characteristics. This allows everyone to choose a product under their budget;
- Compliance with all standards of the CIS countries. DSTU, GOST, etc. WDS windows correspond to each;
- Security. MIROPLAST - the manufacturer of WDS profiles buys only high-quality raw materials that, after manufacturing, do not release harmful and toxic fumes into the air;
- Effective isolation from external factors.The cold, the wind, the noise - all this remains there, on the street;
- Style and simplicity. Profiles can be laminated under the tree, which will give even more beauty. In addition, they do not lose color and do not turn yellow. To do this, you should sometimes wash the surface.
- WDS windows, despite the 4th place in the rating, is an excellent solution for those who appreciate comfort in the house and do not want to waste money.
KBE - German brand of Russian production
Another German brand of PVC profiles in our ranking. But unlike Salamander, KBE managed to gain a foothold in the leading positions of the Russian market. By the way, before we move on to the description, it is worth noting that the KBE trademark is indeed German, but production is established in Russia (although it is also delivered from Germany).
However, the quality is not affected. Now, after a small digression, we will discuss what KBE liked to the Russian consumer:
- Diversity. Depending on the region of residence, you can choose the most profitable profile. So for residents of the southern regions there is no need to spend money on the 80 mm system. 58 mm profiles are enough. They are somewhat worse retain heat, but the insulation and tightness at a high level. But for residents who face severe frosts every year, attention should be paid to systems from 70 mm;
- High-quality material and modern equipment. Such a tandem allowed to create durable (up to 50 years) and reliable profiles that meet all standards. Studying reviews, the main and practically the only drawback is that the profiles turn yellow over time. Indeed, those who installed profiles a few years ago often faced a similar problem. Today, KBE produces even better profiles that keep the original color for many years;
- Experience. The company has been operating for over 30 years. Today, experience allows you to create stylish, durable and functional plastic windows, which have already pleased millions of buyers.
KBE - deserves third place in the ranking. 85–90 buyers out of 100 advise others to make the same choice and stop at this brand. For many, KBE is a true leader. However, there are still a couple of manufacturers ahead, which, at least, not worse.
VEKA - the German quality standard
VEKA is another German brand. And although he also has several factories in Russia, the quality of products is always top notch and meets the highest requirements.
Unlike the aforementioned brands, VEKA is in high demand not only in the territory of the Russian Federation and border states. The company has established export (and quite serious) to 40 countries of the world.
The first VEKA plant in the Russian Federation was opened in 1999. Now there are 3 of them. In the spring of 2006, VEKA Rus became the first company in Russia (and so far the only one), whose products were certified by the European quality mark RAL.
Another of the main features is that the company produces only class A profiles, which equally effectively protect against external factors and serve for many years under any climatic conditions.
VEKA window profiles have 6 systems:
- Euroline - a classic. 3 cameras, 58 mm mounting width (MS), etc .;
- Softline is also a classic model, but with improved insulation properties. 5 cameras, MSh - 70 mm;
- Proline - reinforced reinforcement provides additional reliability;
- Swingline is the main difference in design. The profile is made in an elegant style with rounded lines. You can also install additional means of protection against hacking;
- Softline 82 is a system with the best energy-saving properties. 7-chamber frame protects against all adverse external factors and retains heat indoors;
- Alphaline is an exclusive system with a width of 90 mm and 6 cameras, 70 mm profiles are compatible, the glass unit is from 24 to 50 mm.
In addition, each of the systems can be painted in one of several dozen colors offered by the manufacturer.
Summarizing, we can conclude that VEKA is one of the best manufacturers of plastic windows in the world. And if you decide to stay on it, just do not lose.
REHAU - №1
Germany - the best country-manufacturer of plastic windows. From the proposed rating of 4 out of 5 brands of this particular country. At the same time, all of them are rightfully located here and REHAU is no exception.
Why the first? Yes, they produce modern and durable profiles. Yes, their safety is confirmed by all necessary certificates. Yes, they work in many countries. But VEKA can boast of all these properties. But why are they second? The point is in the approach.
The company is not trying to keep up with the times. She overtakes him. New materials are constantly being tested in our own laboratory. And the production takes place on their own concern under the close attention of the leaders, which excludes the possibility of marriage.
Considering consumer reviews, more than 90% recommend REHAU to others.
What plastic windows to buy
Each of the manufacturers represented is able to provide the consumer with quality windows. Therefore, the choice should take into account the following factors:
1. Price. Paying more does not mean getting better. Do not forget about it;
2. Insulation characteristics. It depends on the number of cameras in the profile and other factors.
3. But not only the choice of profile is important. Properly refer to the search for the company-installer. Blow off, poor insulation and other unpleasant factors often happen not because of a bad profile, but because of the lack of professionalism of the masters.
Choosing the right profile and installers, you will forget about excess moisture, dampness, cold and drafts in the house.
