Plastic windows, windows PVC in Kiev

Modern windows (Kiev): the breakthrough of recent years

Over the past few years, a breakthrough has been made in window technologies, which passed almost imperceptibly. Although the metal-plastic translucent structures (SPK) appeared on the Ukrainian market in 1993, the mass installation began in about 1997. However, the windows of Kiev were bought primarily as an element of design and comfort of operation. Most of the products were completed with double-glazed windows without
energy-saving coatings and had thermal insulation properties comparable to the old paired carpentry of the 60s - early 90s, except that they did not have to be glued to winter for protection from the cold. In the first place, as a basis, profile systems were considered, and not a double-glazed unit. The conditions for a sharp increase in the number of really warm products (R>1.0m²·K/m2) were created with the improvement of the production technologies for і-glass (glass with a
heat-insulating coating), a decrease in its cost, and an increase in minimum requirements, tariffs, W), satisfying the minimum requirements (for Kiev - R>0.75m^{2·K/W). It happened just recently, it started only a couple of years ago and continues right now. Over the previous two or more decades, the proportion of installed translucent structures with an index of resistance to heat transfer R>1.0m2·K/W is less than 1%.}

A modern window product is primarily a
double-glazed window with two heat-insulating glasses or one multifunctional and one energy-efficient. To meet modern requirements, the double-glazed windows must be two-chamber (three glasses), qualitatively filled with inert gas (> 90%) and, importantly, a thickness of at least 40 mm. The overwhelming number of brands-manufacturers of profiles have options for such double-glazed windows, so that "warm" plastic windows to buy in Kiev is not difficult. They will provide reliable insulation of
apartments, cottages, houses.

In addition to thermal insulation, translucent structures must ensure safety. Modern solutions correspond to different levels of burglar resistance, which means: they can be cracked in 10-30 seconds or 10-20 minutes. This fundamentally changes the level of security of the premises, since it allows the arrival of security services even before penetration, and more often intruders refuse to crack such products. The use of anti-burglary fittings slightly
increases the cost of production (1-5%), but significantly increases reliability. For the first floors, experts recommend using tempered glass or triplex (with a special film), which complicates and slows penetration. Also an important security feature is an option such as a handle with a lock. Turning the key prevents the sash from being released and protects children from falling, but can be opened for ventilation.

Metal-plastic windows (Kiev)

High degree of
manufacturability, low price, good thermal insulation characteristics of profile systems give PVC products confidently occupy a leading position. According to the research of the company Ceresana, they account for 86% of all world sales.

So, the main advantages:

1. Energy efficiency - high thermal insulation ability
2. Relatively inexpensive.
3. Easy to use.
4. Long life.

The use of modern PVC profiles with good insulation
characteristics in new buildings is becoming a metropolitan the norm. Now it is not necessary, buying a new home, immediately engage in the replacement of windows to high-quality. And when modernizing the Khrushchev, panel houses choose metal-plastic windows in Kiev, the prices for which are relatively affordable.

Wooden Windows (Kiev)

Although the production of euro windows from wood in the area is not so massive, the They are less accessible from other regions of Ukraine
and Germany, Finland. On domestic wooden windows the price in Kiev will be lower, compared with European ones.

• Although the wooden products are not widely used, they have undeniable advantages:

  • ● The main advantage is the look and feel.
  • ● Status.
  • ● High structural rigidity, which makes it possible to produce loggias, large sliding doors.

  Aluminium windows (Kiev)

  production of windows from
  aluminium profile, including balconies, doors, facades. The aluminium constructions can be large, painted in a huge color spectrum according to RAL. Therefore, architects prefer to use them in projects for premium cottages. Aluminium windows are at the market with a relatively high price, but also good heat-saving characteristics that are already comparable with plastic ones.

  Aluminium is out of competition when glazing large areas, such as: glazing of facades, winter gardens, swimming
  pools. Many windows made of aluminium in Kiev are used in the central part for the facades of office buildings in Pechersky and Shevchenkovskiy districts, and sometimes it is used for residential buildings - skyscrapers on Obolon and Pozniak. In the cottage construction - in the suburban cottage villages - Koncha-Zaspa, Petropavlovsk Borshchagovka, Chaika.

  Energy Efficiency Support Program

  In addition to the national programs "Warm Credits" and "IQ Energy" "70/30". According
  to its terms, the City Hall pays 70% of the estimated cost for thermal upgrading and energy-efficient improvements to the high-rise. To participate, you must submit your project and win the contest, which takes place annually. It is better to insulate the insulation in a comprehensive way: the problem is solved by installing eurowindows, insulating walls, roof, basement with foam, mineral wool, etc.

  In the state project, partner banks, participating companies are reinsured and submit to
  the State Energy Performance Lists with credits issued for euro windows, not including window sills, slopes, low tide, delivery, dismantling and installation. According to the terms of "IQ Energy", compensation can be obtained for energy-efficient materials, related products, installation work. This applies to mosquito nets, external sun protection, if they come complete with a design, but you will not be able to take advantage of grills, curtains, fabric and roll blinds.

  OKNA.ua in
  Kiev

  The city has the largest number of window companies, and in the directory OKNA.ua - their largest list. Here are represented dealers and points of sales of manufacturers in Ukraine in economy and standard classes, premium segment. Filters catalog allow you to identify manufacturers and sellers of PVC, aluminium or wooden structures. It has become easier to find companies that work with "warm credits" and other programs. It is easy to find suppliers of products from the profile systems of popular brands.

  There is an opportunity to study the work of the company, get acquainted with special offers, promotions, discounts to save money. The service "Order a call": the client leaves contact information and the manager calls back for detailed advice on the features of the purchase, including components that affect the noise insulation, vapor and waterproofing performance. With the customer, the contract, types of payment (cash, non-cash, credit), work, time of their conduct are discussed: measurement, preparation of opening and debugging, internal and external finishing, removal for balconies, lining with lining, board. The company provides a guarantee, under which regulation and repair are performed free of charge in the guarantee case.

  To calculate the effect of the investment in energy-efficient solutions quickly, use the OKNA.ua. Plus, you can get the price right away for a lot of companies in the "Cost Calculation". To do this, it is sufficient to specify the region, dimensions, type of standard constructions. Non-standard is calculated individually.

  Another important service when replacing SPK in apartments located on the fifth and higher floors is the "Calculation of wind loads", which shows whether the product can cope with a specific profile system with operating conditions.
