Which Windows Are Best for Homes in Kyiv and the Kyiv Region

Which windows are best for homes in Kyiv and the Kyiv region — an expert's advice on the profile and glass unit for saving on heating.

The video explains how to match a window's efficiency to the wall insulation and to allow for future upgrades.

What the video shows

• A budget option for the first temperature zone — a profile with a 70 mm build depth and a double-chamber energy-efficient IGU per building codes;


• For greater savings and large glazed areas — multi-chamber systems such as REHAU Synego (IGU up to 50 mm) or REHAU Geneo;


• In Geneo, fibreglass in the profile makes it possible to omit the steel reinforcement — a "cold conductor" — and reach passive-house level;


• A window's performance should be matched to the wall's insulation;


• New-generation systems stay relevant for decades and can be upgraded in 10–15 years.

The key takeaway — the right window depends on the temperature zone, the glazed area and the wall insulation, not on budget alone.
