PVC frames are much less than wooden models. In addition, they offer a number of additional opportunities. Such frames can have a specialized coating that helps reduce heat loss, and also reflects solar radiation. In addition, in any store where you can buy a thermal curtain, you can find devices for protecting PVC-RAR from cold air flows. In the case of other materials, this will be somewhat more difficult. However, plastic windows have one small drawback – accumulation of condensate. Only the correct installation will help to avoid such a phenomenon.
It is best to install plastic frames on balconies and loggias. They effectively prevent heat loss. The main element of the PVC focus is a double-glazed window. It can be either single -chamber, or two -chamber, or multi -chamber. The choice of their number depends on the climatic zone. Excellent thermal insulation of the premises is the main advantage of double -glazed windows with several cameras.
The thickness of the external glass affects the increase in the soundproofing properties of the PVC. It should be at least 6 mm. Each window has a number of its features, which are determined depending on the variety of the building, premises and materials involved in the work. The service life of the window depends on the quality of the installation and materials from which the window itself is made. For this reason, it is better to entrust the installation of windows to specialists.
