WOOD, PVC OR ALUMINIUM – WHOSE MATERIAL WINDOW PROFILES ARE MOST RESISTANT AND SAFE?

Quality windows provide not only housing protection and security, but also create a pleasant microclimate and a comfort feeling. Today, when PVC and aluminium are widely used in the production of window profiles alongside wood, consumers' understanding of the functional and physical properties of these materials is particularly important. Knowledge and ability to focus on the range of window offers helps to avoid purchasing poor quality and inappropriate products without creating unnecessary risks to housing security and home conditions. The durability and quality of window profiles depend not only on the type of raw material chosen but also on the manufacturing and material processing technologies applied. It would be unfair to say that only plastic, wooden or aluminum windows are the most persistent. Each of the materials has its own individual advantages, so much is determined by the specification of the object and the expectations of the consumer.

PVC windows still the most popular Although windows were mostly produced from wood in the early days, the most common windows are plastic windows. The reason for this is the relatively low price and simple setup. Alluring costs don't necessarily justify all the expectations on the windows. The most affordable plastic windows are often low-energy, which can give the homeowner an unpleasant moment in the cold months of the year. When purchasing PVC windows, significant attention should be paid to the number of compartments or cameras in the window profile, the more cameras, the higher the resistance of the profiles to mechanical deformation and greater frost resistance. Windows with profiles of three to four cameras are suitable for Latvian climatic conditions. Similar functions are also performed by compartments in the glass package. The more free air gaps the package contains, the more noise-resistant and energy-efficient. At the same time, it should be noted that windows with multiple camera profiles and glass packages will also be more expensive. The cost of windows is also affected by the quality of window furnaces and lock systems used.

Wooden windows - a solution for those who value traditional values People who care about ecology and traditional values often choose wooden windows instead of PVC windows. In addition to the natural look provided by the wood texture, the advantage of wooden windows is also almost unlimited possibilities of material processing - windows can be made in almost any size. Similarly, wood as a material is much more energy efficient than plastic. Wooden windows equipped with multi-chamber glass packages will not only create a cozy atmosphere in the premises, but will also have a positive effect on the total energy consumption of the home. Although the price of such windows is relatively higher, the installation of wooden windows will pay off in the long run at the expense of housing costs. In recent years, windows made of glued wooden slats have great popularity. Compared to solid wood, windows made of glued wooden slats have a higher strength of the profiles, and they are also more stable. Good windows are also characterized by good window fittings. In order to get a higher profit, unscrupulous fitter often tend to sin by installing quality installation, so before buying windows, it is recommended to try the window functions - open and close several times in different modes, check all fastenings, seals and handles.

Aluminum windows - easy maintenance and long-term durability of profiles Although the durability of profiles for good wooden windows and aluminum windows is relatively equal, the biggest benefit of light metal is its longevity and convenient care. Of course, this is also reflected in the price, but the landlord can be sure that the installation of such windows will last for a long time (they do not rust and do not deform due to adverse weather conditions). Also available on the market are aluminum windows with thermal insulating gaskets, which provide recognizable energy efficiency.

As already mentioned, good windows are characterized not only by the type of raw materials, but also by proven window fittings and reliable lock systems.
