What are Eurowindows. What are plastic windows: types, models, how to choose

The decision was made to install a plastic window. Types of windows - what are they? The best ones are the ones that suit your home.

First stage

First you need to choose the form how the window will be located, view the types of windows, and only then make a decision. They should be chosen in proportion to the room: there should be enough light in the room, but if the opening is too large, the feeling of comfort is lost. is a necessary element that is tightly connected to a brick or other wall. The sashes in the product are a movable part, which, depending on which fittings are used, can be folded or opened in different ways. There are sashes that, when opened, rotate around their axis vertically or horizontally. Fasten the double-glazed window with the help of glazing beads in them.

Plastic window: types of windows by frames and sashes

They are one-, two- or three-leaf, differ in the number of chambers in the double-glazed window. In terms of their functionality, such models are close to ordinary wooden windows. These options are ideal for those people who prefer to install inexpensive, but quite practical products in their home. A traditional window will do here. These types of windows are ordinary rectangular structures that open inward. A small minus that is inherent in standard plastic double-glazed windows with rotary shutters is that ventilation in winter is quite problematic, since cold air enters with a fairly strong flow when the window is open.

Deaf types of plastic windows are good for everyone: durable, reliable, plus inexpensive. These are windows with fixed, locked sashes. In addition to these elements in the product, the frame itself can hold the glass. The disadvantage of such window boxes is the impossibility of opening. This model is recommended to be installed with a decorative purpose: it will add space and light to the room. A blank design is quite acceptable in a space that is equipped with sufficient ventilation: in cafes, restaurants, gyms and other similar establishments.

And finally, tilt-and-turn windows - the types of windows of this design are the most popular and in demand. In the summer heat, the sash can be easily opened completely, and in cold weather, it is enough to open the upper part of the window for ventilation in a horizontal position. It is very convenient to use this function in inclement weather, especially if the layout of the apartment contributes to the formation of drafts. The folding position eliminates the possibility of their occurrence and helps to avoid the risk of damage to the structure if the window suddenly slams shut.

Swivel plastic windows can be opened only in one direction, which is not always convenient. Hinged products can only be opened from the top, so they are great for stairwells, basements, and other spaces where casement windows can be a hazard, not just a nuisance. They rightfully got a leading position due to the fact that they can turn and recline.

Profiles

Today, manufacturers of plastic products offer a fairly extensive range of PVC window profiles, from which a plastic window will then be assembled. When choosing a profile that will be used in the manufacture, one should focus on their functional purpose. When producing plastic windows, different types of profile are also used.

Three-chamber PVC profiles, belonging to the economy class, and aluminum structures are perfect for glazing balconies and loggias. Four- and are used for glazing in regions with a harsh cold climate and in houses that are located near a railway or a noisy highway.

Outcome

Double-glazed windows perfectly perform their functions, being responsible for:

• heat and sound insulation;
• illumination.

They are reliable and safe. Their characteristics directly depend on the quality, so the choice of plastic windows should be given special attention, then it will be possible to hope for their long operation.

The very word "eurowindow" appeared in our everyday life at the same time as the word "European-quality repair" in the early 90s. This is an exclusively Russian term. It goes without saying that no one uses this term in Europe. Let's figure out what it means.

What is eurowindow

If we separate reality from conjectures and myths, we call a very high-quality plastic window a eurowindow, which differs from the usual two essential features:

● Eurowindow is a complex structure, all components of which are selected to ensure durability, minimum maintenance and excellent consumer qualities (heat and noise insulation, etc.)

● The consumer can choose the complete set of the window according to his taste and needs: the number of sashes, the color and shape of the frame and the design of the handles, reinforced locks, additional sun protection and much more.

Terms of a good window

● PVC profile,

● double-glazed window,

● accessories.

Frame and sashes

This is the basis of the eurowindow, its skeleton. The frame plays the same role in the design of the window as the foundation of the house. It must retain its shape during the entire life of the window, not sag under the weight of the sashes, withstand wind loads, not collapse under the influence of atmospheric influences, and have good heat-saving and soundproofing properties. And, of course, look aesthetically pleasing. All these requirements are met by frames made of PVC profile reinforced with a steel core.

The standards provide for three quality classes for PVC profiles. The main difference between them is the thickness of the outer walls and inner partitions. Class A profiles have the largest ones, due to which only such a profile does not deform during operation and the window always opens and closes easily. VEKA produces a profile of just this quality class.

Strength is necessary not only to maintain the geometry of the window. A good window is required to protect the house and its inhabitants from intruders, that is, to resist burglary.

The profile must also have good heat and sound insulation characteristics.

Initially, the raw material for PVC profiles is white. And in most cases, windows are traditionally made also white. However, this is not at all necessary. Lamination technology allows you to give the surface of the profile almost any color and imitate the texture of wood or metal. Add to this the ability to make a window of any shape, and it becomes clear that plastic windows are suitable for any architectural style and interior design.

double glazing

This is the second main component of the eurowindow. And here the buyer has a large selection of options with different consumer properties.

Double-glazed windows can be made with a different number of chambers and from glass of different thicknesses. In addition, additional opportunities are provided by filling the internal volume of the double-glazed window with inert gases. By combining these parameters, it is possible to obtain double-glazed windows with a given level of heat and sound insulation.

The use of tempered glass or triplex glass drastically increases the window's impact resistance. This is important if you want to protect your home from thieves as much as possible or if you are afraid that a child can accidentally break the glass.

Coloring glass in bulk, pasting it with tinted films or spraying metal oxides on the surface makes it possible to regulate the light transmission of the window. This helps to improve the indoor climate in regions with excessive solar radiation.

Fittings and additional equipment

The range of these parts is great. Some of them perform a purely decorative function and help to give the eurowindow a unique look. For example, bars imitate barred glass, and decorative overlays resemble wood carvings.

Additional equipment expands the functionality of the window:

● built-in blinds make it possible to regulate the amount of light transmitted by the window;

● different types of hinges are designed to open doors in different planes;

● locks control access;

● child locks do not interfere with ventilation, but exclude the possibility for the child to fall out of the window;

● The micro-ventilation system provides ventilation but retains heat during the cold season.

Competent installation

Windows do not exist in space on their own. Making a window in the selected configuration is only half the battle. It must be properly installed. The importance of proper installation for long-term and trouble-free operation cannot be overestimated.

The trick is that the same window is installed differently depending on the features of the window opening. What fasteners to choose, how to seal the space between the frame and the wall, what sealants to seal the inevitable gaps, how wide the ebbs should be, how to trim the slopes inside and out - all these nuances matter. Installation errors never lead to anything good:

● corners of window openings freeze through,

● blowing from under the windowsill,

● the frame warps, the window sashes stop opening normally,

● In some cases, a double-glazed window may burst due to unacceptable loads.

Believe me, it is better to choose a simpler window package, but in no case should you save on installation.

How euro windows are made

The main component of the window, its most important detail, is the frame, which is made of PVC profiles.

The raw material - powdered or granulated polyvinyl chloride - is melted and then a profile is made from this mass by extrusion. It is cut into pieces and enters the site, where a steel reinforcing insert is installed in it. It is she who gives the product the necessary rigidity and stability of geometric dimensions.

The finished PVC profile, depending on the size of the future window, is cut into pieces, from which the frame is welded. All four corners of the frame are welded at the same time, which ensures the perfect window geometry. Welding areas are cleaned.

In the meantime, a double-glazed window is being made. Glass of the desired grade and thickness is cut and washed. After that, the spacers (internal glass separators) and the prepared glasses are glued together. The cavity between the glasses is filled with dried air or argon, which has the best heat and sound insulation properties.

The spacer performs another function: silica gel is placed inside it, which absorbs water vapor. A small amount of water is contained even in dried air, so silica gel ensures that the double-glazed window never fogs up from the inside.

At the final stage, fittings are mounted on the frame: seals, hinges of the desired configuration, constipation, etc. are installed.

The finished window is marked, packaged and shipped to the consumer.

window care

Perhaps it is difficult to find something else in the house that requires as little attention as a high-quality and properly installed plastic window. All care comes down to a few simple operations:

● wash the glass;

● clean the surface of the frame from dirt;

● lubricate the lock mechanism and hinges every six months with a few drops of any lubricating oil;

● Check if the hardware needs to be adjusted.

If necessary, the window is easily and technologically repaired: replacing worn-out locks, aged seals or other failed parts is a matter of a few minutes.

Conclusion

It doesn't really matter what terms you use. The main thing is that the window is durable, functional and meets your needs.

For a long time and firmly, PVC windows have occupied a niche in the construction business. Beautiful appearance, durability in operation are the main indicators of their popularity. But few people did not wonder what plastic windows are when they decided to insert them into their own openings. Meanwhile, their varieties and types are enough.

Main characterizing points

The classification of types of plastic windows contains several points.

By design:

• paired;
• separate;
• single.

By form:

• rectangular;
• square;
• round.

Glazing type:

• with one glass;
• double-glazed windows.

In our country, PVC windows began to appear relatively recently and, as a rule, contain a double-glazed window, less often three. Comfortable living in your own home depends on how correct the choice of plastic windows was.

What should be considered for the right decision

Self-measurement is not recommended. Window measurements are made by a master installer, who, thanks to his professionalism, will take into account the exit to a certain side, the state of the window opening and a host of other nuances invisible to the eye of a simple layman. In addition, dimensions also matter according to the type of room - large plastic windows will make you look at the world as if from an aquarium, while small ones will make the room dark. According to lighting standards, openings should be half the width of the room.

Location.

Important: if the plastic windows come out on the leeward side, then you may have to strengthen the structure. This will also be reported by the master, who makes the necessary measurements.

Form and design.

Now the development is such that a plastic window can be made by anyone, this will be reported in the manufacturing company. If the owners wish to preserve at least the appearance of the tree - please - the frame will be, as if from an array. If the design of the room requires a certain color, there is no difficulty either, at least order a rainbow. The owners only need not to disturb their own appearance of the home, not to create a color dissonance in it.

Movable elements of plastic windows have a different configuration. In addition to the main function - to open and close, they must work in the ventilation mode and be removed completely to install the mosquito net. All PVC windows are divided into several types - rotary, folding and deaf. This is an incomplete list, but the most popular.

One of the sashes or the entire window is made stationary. There are situations when opening is simply impossible or not necessary, for example, these are constructions in public places.

In this case, the disadvantages of such a design are tangible - neither to wash, if the window is above the first floor, nor to ventilate it.

Plus - the price. Of all types of plastic windows, deaf windows are the cheapest, precisely because of the lack of fittings.

Rotary models.

The most popular plastic window, opens only in one direction. At the same time, the price is low.

Swing-out.

The opening or tilting mechanism allows you to open the structure wide or make a small gap for ventilation. Very comfortable, especially for those who want to sleep in the fresh air. There are disadvantages, but already in technical details - the fittings must be of high quality, because the weight of the structure is quite serious.

Folding.

A plastic window that does not have sashes, but only a canvas with an opening at the top. They are installed in basements, on stairs and other places where folding models can be dangerous. The good thing is that it allows you to tilt the sash in the winter, preventing the room from overcooling - the mechanism allows you to deflect the structure even by 1 mm. Minus - in the care of such models. Above the first floor you will have to wield a hose.

Memo for the buyer of plastic windows

Before making a choice, it is worth thinking about a few nuances of such structures and your own wishes, so as not to go broke. So, before you go to a company for the manufacture and installation of plastic windows, you need to:

Decide on the funds, according to the company's tariffs.

Many firms make discounts and bonuses for plastic windows, it’s worth taking advantage of them, but we must not forget that such a “promotion” can contain a lot of interesting points that cannot then be proven in court. You should read the contract very carefully.

Pay attention to the manufacturer of the profile and fittings.

Determine for yourself the desired configuration of the structure.

It entirely depends on the weather conditions and the climate of the region where they are supposed to be placed. As a rule, two-chamber packages are enough for the Russian winter, but in some cities they put three. In this case, a plastic window is somewhat more expensive, but you should not save on heat.

Do not miss the soundproofing conditions, it depends on the location of the house.

If there is a motorway or public places nearby, this fact should be taken into account and consulted with a consultant. Otherwise, there is a risk of not getting enough comfort, because plastic windows will not meet this condition.

Appearance.

Everyone wants the windows to form a single composition with the interior of the apartment. Such solutions have existed for a long time and will allow homeowners to choose any color. This also applies not only to the metal profile of plastic windows, but also to the texture of glass.

Fittings are the main component of a PVC window, responsible for safety.

It's not worth saving on. Reliable elements cannot be cheap, they should be 1/3 of the price of the total cost of the structure. This can be learned from the consultant of the company, who is obliged to devote the consumer to all the details of the work.

Special purpose security.

Such double-glazed windows have tempered glass and reinforced profiles. Glasses, even if they can be broken, will not fly into fragments, but will simply crack if a special polymer film was used. Strengthening the profile will make the design reliable in terms of falling out of the glass itself. Such plastic windows are placed where maximum security is needed - children's rooms.

Some models are reinforced options for even greater reliability.

Installation.

If home craftsmen do not have the necessary qualifications, then you should not even try to install structures on your own or with the help of a neighbor. It's just that later there will be no one to ask - the plastic window will be hopelessly damaged. The company's masters have long worked out the algorithm of actions for installing a plastic window, so the work will not take much time. In addition, you do not need to free the openings from the old frames yourself; for the proper performance of this work, a corresponding section in the contract is also provided.

Having decided on all the points of the right choice, you can decide which plastic window is right for the assigned living space, and begin the negotiation process with the nearest installation company. An important point is that you need to read the contract in full, without skipping even the fine print, where the terms, equipment and additional points are indicated in black and white. Without this, there will be no one to complain about.

From metal-plastic there are the most bizarre shapes: round and arched certainly will not surprise anyone. Lancet windows are also not a novelty, and design designs are made to order, and embody almost any client's fantasies. But besides this, metal-plastic windows have the most important characteristics, the knowledge of which will help you choose high-quality structures for your balcony.

Window properties

A high-quality, good window must correspond to the declared characteristics.

Namely:

• the service life of such a window is at least 20 years;
• high soundproof properties;
• positive thermal insulation characteristics;
• ease of maintenance and operation.

Once again, you can emphasize - absolutely any metal-plastic window should be like this, and its price does not matter.

A standard window block includes two elements - a window frame and sashes, either opening or fixed. Separately, it is customary to single out shtulp windows, they are distinguished by the engagement of the sashes with each other.

Types of sections of metal-plastic windows

After thinking about what kind of window will be convenient for your home, you have to choose and what type of section will be in the window.

Metal-plastic windows can be with the following sections:

• Folding section. It is possible to activate the "ventilation" or micro-ventilation mode. This type is suitable for viewing windows located at a considerable height, as well as attic areas.
• Turning section. The sash in it can open inward, which entails a large flow of air. Outward sash opens in rare cases.

• Tilt and turn section. It combines both functions, which makes this type of section very popular.
• blind section. The section cannot be opened as it is fully attached to the frame, but can nevertheless be dismantled.

Different rooms and rooms need different windows, so it cannot be said that there is any universal type of section.

Features of the choice of metal-plastic windows

The most important thing in choosing is to take into account the features of the room where the window will be located.

• Apartments, houses, offices require windows with two-chamber and three-chamber double-glazed windows - they are warmer, more comfortable, and in general, more perfect. Single-chamber windows are used for storage and various non-residential premises.
• Reliable thermal insulation is the most important criterion for choosing a metal-plastic window if the building is located on the windy side.
• Darkened metal-plastic windows are needed if the room is on the sunny side of the building, and other buildings do not block the house. Windows can be with a special film that has a reflective dusting, or with a silver-based coating.
• If the building is located in the city center, or in an industrial area, they are not protected from dust. Therefore, a window with a mosquito net is a must in this case.

• In the absence of natural ventilation, you need to choose a special profile. It is constructed in such a way that even with the doors closed, a small air circulation is maintained. Otherwise, you will have to keep the ventilation mode all the time.
• If the apartment is on the lower floors, the owners are not immune from the attacks of the "windowers". So that they cannot cause harm, you need to arm yourself with additional locking fittings, which are usually installed on handles. A glazing bead is also used to close the gap between the impost and the sash.
• If the double-glazed window is intended for shops or office buildings, then the windows on the outside can be pasted over with a special impact-resistant film. In some cases, armored glass is ordered.

These are just the main selection criteria, which, in principle, are enough not to miscalculate with the acquisition.

The quality of metal-plastic windows - what to look for

The seller can assure that the window is durable and warm, but you can verify this by looking at the construction yourself. Thermal insulation and strength depend directly on the wall thickness, as well as the width of the cross section of the profile. Usually, as already mentioned above, the average statistical conditions in our country suggest the choice of a three-chamber or two-chamber profile.

Narrow frames are also popular, but they only make sense in houses where there is external insulation. And, for example, in a panel house, this window will not be protection from the cold.

As for the color, the most popular is of course white. But even if the seller cannot offer a profile of your preferred color, today many of the most paste over it with a special film or acrylic varnish. But the window will definitely look better if a coloring pigment was added to the PVC during the manufacturing process of the profile.

How to choose a good seller

There are many companies offering window installation. And the flyers look promising.

In order not to miscalculate, it is advisable to pay attention to the following points:

• Request certificates for components and finished windows.
• Check what the seller includes in the total cost of metal-plastic windows, whether there is window dismantling in this list. This is especially important when it comes to installing balcony windows.
• The warranty period should be long enough.
• Do not be lazy to look at the showroom of the company that manufactures windows.

Nobody canceled word of mouth, so listening to the reviews is never superfluous.

Today, metal-plastic double-glazed windows open up more and more opportunities - for example, it is thanks to them that a balcony can be turned into a separate room. Whether it's a place with a bed and a lamp, where you can read and just relax. Or a mini-bar with a table for two and a beautiful view of the city. Or maybe the balcony will turn into a workshop of the hostess, where she will store everything that helps to make the house cozy. The main thing is that double-glazed windows make it possible to realize such attractive prospects.

Good choice!

Rules for choosing PVC windows (video)

Attention, only TODAY!

Good afternoon!

The Internet does its job, and many customers study it for useful information before buying windows in order to go to the company with an established opinion.

So recently, cases of misunderstanding of the size range of structures have become more frequent.

People wonder why some standard window sizes are listed on the Internet, but in reality they turn out to be different.

But every apartment is different.

The "Khrushchev" windows have one size, the "Stalinka" have a different one.

To unravel the mess in my head, I suggest reading a post on the size of standard plastic windows.

Standard sizes of plastic windows

Plastic windows have dominated the building materials market for more than fifteen years, but you are unlikely to find a ready-made frame and double-glazed window.

Since each window opening of the house has its own dimensions, the standard sizes of plastic windows vary quite widely.

Initially, they were made according to the standard sizes of window openings of panel houses, i.e. these are plastic windows 120 by 120, 130 by 140, etc. The generally accepted standard for plastic windows is windows with a size of 1200 x 1200.

Currently, standard plastic windows consist of one, two or three wings (especially wide windows next to the balcony door). In a Khrushchev-type house, the size of the window depends on the size of the window sill.

If there are three sashes, the size of the PVC window will be 2040 x 1500, for a double sash - 1450 x 1500 mm. If the window sills are narrow, then the dimensions of the PVC windows should be as follows: 1300 x 1350 and 2040 x 1350.

As already mentioned, due to the mismatch of standards, there may be errors in the numbers up to 10 cm. Therefore, the standard sizes of plastic windows are a relative concept and to a certain extent blurred.

Non-standard plastic windows are windows that are made to order, and not according to generally accepted sizes. To date, these windows are in greatest demand.

The minimum size of a plastic window in this case can be 420 x 420 cm. However, the opening sash must be larger in order to increase the service life of the fittings.

Here, you also need to consider the principle of the window.

If the sash opens by turning to the side, then the height of the PVC window should be higher than the width, if it leans back, then exactly the opposite.

At the same time, the thickness of the window profile should be 70-80 cm, so that the temperature regime is maintained inside the room.

When installing a non-standard design, you must also ensure that a proportional balance is maintained in the dimensions of the window, otherwise deformation and distortion of the window profile may occur.

Fortunately, today's plastic window production technologies allow for any size. Therefore, with an individual approach to the construction of houses, plastic windows and their standard sizes also become strictly individual.

Simply put, non-standard PVC window sizes are the rule rather than the exception.

Standard window sizes are convenient

Sizes of windows in standard buildings

The standard sizes of windows, as well as the sizes of balcony windows and doors, are determined in accordance with GOST and SNiPs (“Building Norms and Rules”).

These regulations offer optimal window sizes in typical houses and take into account:

• room lighting requirements
• purpose of the building (residential or non-residential premises)
• room dimensions
• level of natural light (depending on the geographical location of the object)
• light transmission capacity of the window unit (number of glasses, their level of contamination)

However, the sizes of windows both in panel houses of different series (P-44, P-44T, P-46, P-3, P-3M), and in the same house may differ by several centimeters.

The existing window dimensions in panel, brick, wooden and Stalinist houses encourage us to strive for them when designing buildings, so as not to create problems for residents who decide to change old frames for new windows with double-glazed windows.

In a new typical five-story building in Moscow, the standard size for double-leaf windows, both wooden and PVC windows, is 1300 mm in height and 1400 mm in width.

In "Khrushchev" the same parameters:

• minimum 1300 mm and 1350 mm (if the window sill is narrow)
• maximum 1450 mm and 1500 mm (for a wide window sill)

Knowing the type of house, you can approximately determine the size of window openings and calculate the cost of a new window. However, it is better to use the services of qualified specialists and use them to make a professional measurement.

Plastic windows - size matters

The question is, "What is the size of the window?" often occurs in the process of purchasing plastic windows. The dimensions of PVC windows can differ significantly from standard ones, which can significantly affect their cost.

Modern technologies make it possible to produce non-standard windows of varying complexity based on the needs of the buyer. For example, in "Stalin", where the windows are large or for summer cottages, where the size of the windows is determined not by GOST, but by your imagination.

When choosing plastic windows, the standard sizes of which are described in GOSTs and SNiPs, it should be remembered that custom-made windows are not more expensive.

A ready-made plastic window is convenient to purchase when urgent installation is needed.

The standard sizes of plastic windows allow you to orient yourself when choosing new windows and calculating their cost.

At the same time, custom-made windows fit perfectly into your window opening. Therefore, there will be no difficulties in the process of installation work.

The corporation "Windows of the 21st century" offers standard windows made taking into account the type of building and windows made to individual sizes.

You can order turnkey windows from us, which include:

A standard plastic window is considered, as a rule, a class A PVC window with dimensions of 1.5 * 1.5 m and equipped with fittings and double-glazed windows.

Despite the fact that the window is called standard and has universal parameters, many options for plastic windows fall under this description.

Why are windows of this size standard?

Because such windows are in great demand, since the window openings of typical houses are the same size.

We offer you several options for standard windows:

• blind plastic window;
• plastic window with one tilt-and-turn sash;
• plastic double-leaf window;
• tricuspid plastic window.

The most common size for a plastic single-leaf window of a typical multi-storey building is 1200 * 1200 mm, and for a double-leaf window - 1300 x 1400 mm. If the house is from the Khrushchev era, then 1300 * 1350 mm.

Three-leaf windows - 2050 * 1400 mm in a typical house and 2040 * 1350 mm in a Khrushchev-era house.

If you hear from our master the phrase "standard plastic window", do not be alarmed, no one wants to confuse you. Know that this is a window of a certain size, equipped with all the necessary accessories.

Standard window sizes

As a rule, the process of designing buildings of any type involves determining the size of window openings, taking into account the requirements for the intensity of lighting in rooms.

This indicator depends on the purpose of the building, its dimensions, and the level of natural sunlight in a particular geographical point.

Equally important is the light transmission of the window block.

Based on building codes and regulations, the percentage ratio of the window opening area and the size of the room is calculated according to the generally accepted formula.

The same standards give a normalized value for the illumination coefficient of public and residential premises, which are located south of 60 degrees and north of 45 degrees of latitude.

All indicators should take into account mandatory glass cleaning at least twice a year for buildings that are not in polluted areas of the city, and 4 times a year for buildings with serious emissions of combustion products and similar elements.

For example, if the building is located south of the generally accepted 45 degrees north latitude, then the illumination must be multiplied by a factor equal to 0.75, if the building is located north of 60 degrees, then the coefficient increases by 1.2 times.

Note!

All indicators take into account the mandatory cleaning of glass at least twice a year.

Among other things, the light transmission of the opening is affected by such indicators as the number of glasses and the distance between them.

Due to the refraction of light rays and the absorption of light by more than two glasses, the illumination of the room can deteriorate significantly.

However, there are standard GOSTs for window sizes. Note that the dimensions indicated in GOST to the greatest extent correspond to the parameters of certain buildings and, if necessary, can be adjusted.

Based on the types of window frames, typical window sizes are distinguished, which apply to:

• double glazed windows;
• triple glazing;
• single glazing, terrace frames.

GOST 11214-86, 23166-99 provides for a humidity of 8-12% and standard dimensions for window openings with a height of 60; 90; 120; 135; 150 and 180 cm and 60 wide; 90; 100; 120; 135; 150 and 180 cm.

The generally accepted standard sizes of windows consist of a combination of sectional elements and glass directly.

For example, let's take a standard window block, the width of which is 1320 mm, the side sections are 85 mm, the middle section is 130 mm, while the width of the glass in each sash must be at least 525 mm.

Moreover, 7.5 mm of glass should be included in the window trim on each side. Based on simple calculations, we conclude that the apparent width of the glass is 510 mm.

Also, the standard dimensions of window openings depend on the construction of the walls and the dimensions of the quarter.

For more than fifteen years, plastic windows have taken a leading role in the construction market. However, they are not sold as ready-made double-glazed windows, but are assembled after taking measurements according to an individual project.

This is due to the fact that each house or apartment has individual sizes of window openings, so the standard sizes of plastic windows vary greatly.

At the very beginning of its appearance on the domestic market, plastic windows were made according to the Gost size of window openings in panel houses. Such a plastic window had a size of 120x120, 130x140, etc.

Today, the generally accepted conditional standard size of a plastic double-glazed window is 1200x1200mm.

Usually standard plastic windows come in three types: one, two and three-leaf.

The standard sizes of plastic windows in such cases are:

• at a double-leaf window - 1450x1500 mm;
• for a tricuspid one - 2040x1500 mm.

In Khrushchev, the size of PVC windows depends on the size of the window sill. If there is a narrow window sill, the dimensions of the plastic window are usually 1300x1350 or 2040x1350 mm.

It should be borne in mind that the standards often do not match and an error of up to 10 cm is allowed. It follows from this that a PVC window of a standard size does not really exist.

Now in the construction market, plastic windows are more often non-standard, i.e. made to order. It is these windows that are in high demand among the consumer.

In this case, the smallest size is 420x420 mm. But the opening sash is usually made a little larger so that the window fittings last longer.

In the manufacture of such windows, the principle of operation of the window structure is taken into account.

Helpful advice!

When opening the sash by turning it to the side, the height of the plastic window must be greater than the width. If the sash leans back, then vice versa, the width is greater than the height.

In such constructions, the thickness of the window profile is usually 70-80 cm, in order to maintain a normal temperature inside the room.

The installation of such plastic windows requires careful attention to maintaining a proportional balance in the size of the window in order to avoid profile distortion.

Today's technology for the manufacture of plastic windows allows any size of the window structure, the main thing is that the proportions are not violated. This has led to the fact that in practice, in the construction of private houses and the repair of old residential premises, standard plastic window blocks have turned into custom-made window frames.

Therefore, it makes no sense to talk about standards in the manufacture of windows today.

We measure plastic windows: how to determine the size correctly

Plastic windows today are no longer a luxury, but a necessity. Firstly, they look aesthetically good, and secondly, they protect houses from noise, dust and, of course, cold.

As a rule, plastic windows of standard sizes are installed in ordinary houses. These dimensions are determined strictly in accordance with GOST and building codes and regulations.

Regulatory documents contain information about the optimal window sizes in ordinary houses, and take into account:

1. Requirements for the illumination of the room;
2. Room dimensions;
3. The purpose of the premises, they can be residential or non-residential;
4. The level of lighting in a natural way;
5. window bandwidth.

But, despite this, the standard sizes of plastic windows in prefabricated houses may differ slightly, literally by a few centimeters.

Therefore, when building new buildings, developers try not to deviate much from the established standards, so as not to create a problem for themselves and the residents of these houses.

For example, in a new brick house, plastic brown windows are installed, the standard dimensions of which are 1300 mm high and 1400 mm wide. Whereas Khrushchev's houses, these parameters vary from 1300 mm to 1500 mm.

From this we can conclude that the standard sizes of plastic windows are a very vague concept and there are no exact figures for this.

Thus, if you know the type of construction, you can approximately calculate the cost of a double-glazed window.

But still, not everyone knows how to measure a plastic window correctly, so in this case, the best way out is to contact a specialist who will do this work for you as quickly and efficiently as possible.

If, nevertheless, you want to learn how to measure a plastic window correctly on your own, you will need to take into account some features, namely: the double-glazed window should be slightly wider or the same in size, in places where the frame is in contact with the slopes; the double-glazed window should be slightly narrower than the slope itself.

In order for the plastic window to be measured correctly in height, you will need:

1. From the base of the window opening to the outer upper slope, 2 centimeters must be subtracted;
2. It is necessary to add about 1.5-2.5 centimeters to the result obtained, this is necessary in order for the window to go into the upper quarter;
3. When using a stand profile, which is a prerequisite for the installation of windows, it is necessary to subtract 3 centimeters from the resulting window.

The dimensions of the double-glazed window, as a rule, should be less than the window opening by about 3-8 centimeters. This will be required for the assembly seam.

If your quarter turned out to be more than 5 centimeters, then you will have to use an additional profile.

If you still do not know how to properly measure a plastic window, then you will need the help of a specialist.

Note!

The dimensions of the double-glazed window should be less than the window opening by about 3-8 centimeters.

Basically, plastic windows, standard sizes, which are prescribed in GOST, cost much less than non-standard windows for private houses that were designed on an individual order.

Thanks to the latest technologies, such windows can be made in the shortest possible time, while the quality will not suffer at all, and the windows will delight you for a long time.

Also, when choosing a plastic window, it is necessary to pay attention not only to the size, but also to the quality of the fittings, what material they were made of, basically, most companies produce windows from environmentally friendly materials that are not allergens and will not harm your health, as well as the health of your families.
