Many believe that the home atmosphere of heat and comfort creates the interior and design of the room. At the same time, few people think about what is in reality a source of light and warmth in an apartment, office or house.
We are talking about the windows, on which heat and comfort largely depend.
Depending on the material from which the window is made, it can be plastic, wooden, aluminum and combined. The advantages of a wooden window are undeniable. This includes naturalness, environmental friendliness, as well as high thermal insulation and soundproofing properties, resistance to deformation, practicality during operation, ease of updating. As disadvantages, the following can be distinguished: it is necessary to systematically conduct staining (in the event that the wood is poorly painted, when moisture hits it, it will be sigent), a rather high price.
The plastic window today is a budget option for many. Moreover, in combination with an excellent ventilation system, it has high efficiency at a relatively small cost. The pluses include: good tightness, thermal insulation and sound insulation, resistance to moisture, ease of installation. In addition, there is no need for special care. Cons: there is practically no possibility of repairing structures and updating.
In addition, there is a direct dependence of the quality of the window on the qualifications of specialists who collect and establish it, as well as in some cases very high tightness, as a result of which air ventilation worsens significantly.
Aluminum windows are often used in warehouses, in industrial and public structures, in stores and other places. The advantage of this window is that there is the possibility of installing “cold” profiles in a non -heated room, and “warm” – in heated. In addition, the aluminum window does not require any special care, it can be replaced or replaced without problems, and the frames are currently made by any form and size. It should also be noted the high strength of the aluminum structure. As a minus, we note a high price and greater thermal conductivity.
The last type of structure is made of combined materials. The fiberglass window is resistant to atmospheric influences, durable and does not change color. The metal -plastic window is a design of ordinary plastic profiles reinforced with metal. Note that its price is much lower than a fiberglass window.
