Plastic Windows, Short Encyclopedia.

Plastovye windows to date no longer need advertising. Everyone knows that they perfectly provide warmth, peace and comfort in your apartment. They are easy to wash, do not need to be treated with special solutions and insulated for the winter. Today there is no special problem to buy plastic windows in Nizhny Novgorod. Nevertheless, for a simple buyer, there are some difficulties when buying PVC windows, due to low awareness in this matter. For example, you can not so rarely hear the phrase "wooden glass". Double-glazed windows are a construction that consists of several windows and air chambers between them. Therefore, it is correct to call a glass packet glass.

Not infrequently there is confusion in such cases, when there is a substitution of concepts. Here, for example, "profile". Most often this term is used to describe a plastic hollow structure that acts as a frame in a window. But on the other hand, inside this structure there is an aluminum insert, also called a "profile", but plays the role of such an armature, that is, it serves to impart strength to the plastic profile.

Also, difficulties arise with the concept of "camera". A camera is an air layer between the layers of glass in a double-glazed unit. But also the air cavity inside the profile is called the chamber. Despite the fact that the roles of these cameras are similar (they provide noise protection and thermal insulation of the window), these are different things. A plastic window and a profile with a different number of cameras can be installed in the plastic window. In addition, the maximum number of chambers in the profile is greater than for a double-glazed unit.

In order to describe plastic windows in more detail, let's consider them in more detail.

Frame

This, you can say, is the basis for the whole window. Such a "box", which consists of a multi-layered plastic, which is attached to the window opening. The profile should be adjusted exactly to the dimensions of the opening in which it will be installed, because the quality of heat protection and noise insulation largely depends on the accuracy of the matching. Also, if an error is made during installation, dust from the street and natural precipitation will enter the premises. The frame must hold the weight of the window flaps, so a metal frame is installed inside .

Flap

The leaf is also made of plastic profile. Provides the ability to open the window. Today, several different designs of the flaps are performed. Therefore, there may be three options for opening: swivel, swivel and swing-and-tilt. There is also the option of not opening the sash. It is used when a window consists of several sections. For example, in a window of three sections, the middle part is opened, and the last two are deaf.

Impost

This name can often be heard in the conversations of experts. However, the average person does not understand the significance of this concept. Impos is simply a plastic profile with a reinforcing gasket inside, which serves to separate the entire window into parts and allows you to connect several window shutters into a single structure. Impos can only be seen when the window sashes are open. Try to imagine an open window. The crosshairs visible in the opened aperture are imposts.

Shtulp

This is some analog of the impost. But the difference lies in the fact that in a design with a stump, one leaf is dependent on the other. The leaf does not have a separate handle and opens with the first. Accordingly, due to the lack of a handle, the leaf can not be swinging and tilting. The advantage of this design is that when opening the window, the opening is completely released, since the staple is attached to the sash and not to the window frame.

Fittings

This term refers to the hinges on which the sash of the window, the locking mechanism, the metal caps on the hinges and all the internal mechanisms of the window that secure the opening and closing are attached. In a word, the hardware is a set of small elements that provides the functionality of the mechanisms.

Glass

Glass is an element of a double-glazed unit. Directly from it layers of a double-glazed window are carried out. It is possible to install different versions of glasses. For example, tinted, shock-resistant, noise-proof and others. If the double-glazed window is damaged, the fragments do not crumble, and thanks to a special applied composition, they remain intact. Thanks to this you can not be afraid of piercing the window with small stones and damaging the glass.

Sealant

Rubber or synthetic gaskets are used. They allow to ensure the tightness of the window when closed. Rubber seals are less reliable, although they are cheaper. Over time, they dry up and begin to crumble. Synthetic serve longer, but after 20-25 years begin to break, although they do not lose elasticity.
