Rehau windows: variations and product descriptions

Rehau windows are available in a wide range. Before choosing it is useful to get acquainted with the description of the products in order to at least roughly understand what you are looking for. Only then can we proceed to the selection of specific models.

Rehau has been on the market for a long time - since 1984. During this time, this German company has established itself as a leader in the production of plastic windows. Double-glazed windows Rehau really are of high quality, and the range includes a variety of models.

The manufacturer focuses on the use of the latest technologies that significantly reduce costs. This approach allows to reduce prices, while maintaining the quality at the proper level.Rehau is also proud to use the so-called green technologies - those innovative developments that do not affect the ecological situation.

Actually, this is where the main features of windows from this German manufacturer are:

• high quality;
• affordable price;
• big choice;
• use of new technologies and trends in the field of construction;
• environmental friendliness of products.

Rehau uses advanced technologies in its production, so glass packs from this brand are of high quality. Each of the window profiles is endowed with individual technical characteristics. As for the overall situation, it is safe to say the following:

• By production the processed polymers from which it is possible to create a profile with any section are used. As a result, the material is of high quality, and the cost drops dramatically.
• When assembling and painting are also used high quality materials. For example, paint designed for painting cars. For welding using a laser method that gives the best result.

To date, the company Rehau presented a huge range of PVC structures for urban apartments, country houses, offices. After all, plastic windows should differ depending on where they are installed. There are both ordinary windows with transformers, and deaf, sliding, bay windows. For the manufacture of plastic shutters are used metal-plastic profiles.

The assortment presents various collections of windows of both economy and premium class. Models differ not only in price, but also depending on the used accessories and components. The design also has minor differences. However, both cheaper and more expensive Rehau windows have consistently high German quality. In addition, there is always the opportunity to choose the right colors.

This system refers to the latest developments of the company. The profile for these structures is called energy saving,because it allows you to effectively keep the heat indoors, to protect it from penetrating noise and drafts. The cost of such windows at the same time remains quite acceptable.

Double-glazed windows have three glasses and two air layers between them. Such a device allows you to best protect from the sounds and save precious heat. Installation depth is 60 mm. By the standards of this recess is quite enough. Double seal. As for the thickness of the glass, it is 32 mm.

A distinctive feature of the windows from this collection is their ability to transmit sunlight. Rehau specialists say that this figure is 10% higher compared to peers made by the company. Bright sunlight penetrating the dwelling through the windows promotes the formation of the hormone serotonin, which is responsible for good mood in the body. Profiles from this collection have a low profile, as a result of which such an increase in light transmittance becomes possible. Innovations deserve special attention: the casement of the figure type and the use of interesting accessories.

Despite the reduced profile area, this does not affect the ability of windows to protect a room from heat loss. All parts are high quality and securely sealed, so the heat will not penetrate the street, staying in the apartment.

The windows of this type have an improved six-dimensional structure, thereby achieving the best energy-saving effect. The manufacturer guarantees that energy savings of 76% more than when using other analogues made by the same brand.

The depth of the profile is 86 mm, which also helps in providing the desired microclimate and reducing costs. The similar structure of windows allows to level practically all extraneous noises. So, while running the six-lane highway under your Rehau Geneo windows more than twice drowns out all the noises coming from the street. It helps to normalize sleep and create positive conditions for rest.

This collection, by contrast, refers to the budget. Windows have a simple functional: only two contours of insulation and double glazed windows. Pay attention to the range of the collection is necessary because of the interesting design. Windows have smooth details with roundings, soft lines and curves. Accessories are often chosen bright, unusual colors. In addition to the smooth lining, you can choose texture frames.

Pasting by decorative material allows to achieve the texture of any tree. This concerns not only how the frame will be perceived by touch, but also its appearance. Imitation of different types of wood looks natural, so it is possible to make “wooden” windows, which will be almost indistinguishable from real ones.

Like many of the previous analogues, the “Brilliant-Design” windows have a smooth surface that is easy to maintain, just wipe the sash from dust. The surface of the windows of this type is shiny, so that it looks noble and interesting.Thus, it turned out to combine two advantages at once - a decent appearance and ease of care. The windows of this collection are presented in a wide range of colors, which allows you to choose the perfect shade.

The manufacturer claims that it is possible to choose any color on a scale of RAL or German color standards. As for textures, such constructions cannot boast of this: all windows are perfectly smooth and shiny. Specifications are at a high enough level. The depth of the system is 7 cm, two sealing circuits are used.

Windows from the Geneo Hst collection are very different from all the others presented by Rehau. Here is a variety of lifting and sliding structures, which can mainly be used in country houses. Since life outside the city opens up more possibilities in terms of the use of windows, panoramic windows that simultaneously serve as doors are more often used here. So there was a need to use sliding doors.

However, this did not affect the technical characteristics: the structures are still as strong and reliable as in all previous cases, if not to say that they have become stronger.Such large windows allow you to let in many times more light due to the lack of intermediate partitions. This approach makes the space inside and outside the house coherent, unified, integral.

Such windows are suitable for installation in especially harsh areas of immense Russia. It makes no sense to spend money on their purchase, if your house or apartment is located in the middle lane. The insulating characteristics of this option are improved, so they are able to withstand frost up to -60 degrees, while reliably isolating the room and avoiding energy losses.

Thanks to such innovations, it is possible to save a lot on heating, spending almost 5,000 kW per year less energy than usual. Savings at the same time, according to the results of the study, is about 16,000 rubles.

This window profile from Rehau guarantees the highest level of sound insulation, thanks to which it received the status of the quietest among all Rehau developments. However, this does not mean that all other functions have suffered.So, windows from the Intelio 80 collection have excellent thermal insulation, preventing heat from seeping out of the room onto the street and preventing the formation of drafts. With all this, the thermal insulation system here is "smart", that is, the heat transfer is automatically regulated.

If in the winter heat is firmly sealed in the room by means of windows, then in the summer period surplus of sunlight is not allowed, as a result of which the room remains relatively cool.

These systems belong to the windows that play the role of sliding doors. Everyone knows such beautiful designs, more appropriate for a country house than for a city apartment. However, many people want to glaze a loggia or a balcony in this way in order to always be able to provide fresh air, having full access to the overview of the entire panorama outside the window.

Sash at such windows-doors can be several: 2,3, 4 or 6. Mosquito nets can be used as additional elements. It should be borne in mind that the noise insulating properties of such windows are much lower than those of others, so it does not make sense to install them in the bedroom. Noise from the street will still be much heard.

These windows are also energy saving, but they are more expensive than Blitz New. This is due to the technology: the windows here are five-chambered, the system depth is 7 cm. What is remarkable, such structures have an anti-burglary system, therefore they are suitable for installation on the lower floors of the building. As a protection against wind and moisture penetrating from the street, double contours of heat insulation are used.

Thanks to all the technical improvements carried out with these windows, a high level of noise insulation is achieved - up to 45 decibels. As for the heat-saving characteristics, then they are at altitude. Thus, the resistance to heat loss reaches 0.85 per square meter of window. The surface of the frame is white and smooth.It is easy to care for it - it is enough to wipe it with a damp cloth from time to time.

These systems are positioned as the most convenient when there are children or elderly people at home. This is due to the distinctive characteristics of double-glazed windows, among which is ensuring perfect silence in the house. The manufacturer claims that the soundproofing functions will be enough for silence even during a daytime short nap. Silence is also necessary when it is time for the child to sit down at home. Such isolation from external stimuli increases the concentration of attention several times, so that the homework will be done faster and better.

Caring for windows is simple. The surface is made by special technology HDF or "High-quality and smooth surfaces."

Rehau company offers a rich palette of colors and textures for every taste. Of course, not all windows can be made in the selected color. Often you have to be content with classic white.However, the manufacturer always meets, so you can try to make your favorite window in the selected color to order.

What is remarkable, in the assortment there is not only uniform colors or stylized wood. If desired, you can make a frame "under aluminum", giving it the necessary gray tint.

All colors, even dark ones, are treated in a special way, which makes them resistant to burning out under direct sunlight. When placing a colored frame on the outside of the facade, this fact is of particular importance, since here the detrimental effect of ultraviolet radiation is many times higher.

In this series of colors presented many shades. Warm colors of brown tones create an atmosphere of comfort and tranquility. Also, the brown color on the windows allows to give the room a protected and at the same time reliable look. The collection contains both dark and rich chocolate shades, and golden lungs. There are shades of cherry reddish tint, which are quite difficult to fit into the household home interior. The most popular are the following:

• Golden Oak;
• Cherry Blossom ("Cherry Blossom");
• Golden Beech ("Golden Beech").

Gray windows are chosen mainly for modern interiors. Therefore, Rehau company experts have tried to bring out such nuances that would fully embody the ultra-modern and free spirit of the city. In the color palette there are many colors of all types of metal, ranging from aluminum to anthracite. Of particular interest are the cases when some shade is mixed with gray and a complex color is obtained. An example would be the following tones:

• Quarzgrau (Quartz Gray);
• Signalgrau ("Signal Gray");
• Alux ("Aluminum").

Gray color non-staining. Rehau technologists, having worked a little on the original tone, made the dust on it almost imperceptible. The choice of gray should be done carefully when your premises are decorated in high-tech, loft, urban

This collection combines the colors from the previous two, with the result that new, incomparable colors have been obtained. The tree here turns out bleached, as if burnt out on the sun or faded from an old age. The result is a look that best emphasizes the virtues of wood. In the given collection there are samples that most fully imitate all the features of the tree, including the drawing of knots, sawing, pores located on the surface of the tree. Thanks to this, the appearance of a real wooden window, noble and traditional, is achieved.

As for the choice, it is often difficult to implement it among the whole variety of Rehau windows. Therefore, a list of points was drawn up, which first need to pay attention:

• Profile type This refers to the width and depth of the system. If you want to let more light into the room, then it does not make sense to choose wide profiles.It is best to dwell on truncated versions, especially since they are not at all inferior in strength and characteristics to broad analogues.
• Double glazing. Immediately figure out how you want to see the glass window. Perhaps for you is not so important the thickness of the glass. Much more important are the insulating characteristics. Then the ideal solution for you is a multi-chamber glass unit. If you are not ready for this turn of events, choose packages with a small number of cameras.
• Fittings. This item will be discussed in detail later.
• Price. The cost of products depends on which class the window belongs to, as well as on the number of cameras and accessories, the size of the entire window. Remember that in the case of Rehau, the price has no effect on quality, so you can safely choose a simpler model.

Components in each case when it comes to plastic windows, will always be the same. So, be sure to need a windowsill. You can choose any color and size.

• Recently, transforming window sills are gaining popularity, when it is also used as a desk.
• Tides are installed from the front of the window. They protect the surface of the wall under the window from splashes, and also serve to collect and discharge the water flowing from the glass.
• Slopes - the decorative element intended for a beautiful frame of a window opening. It is supplied with the window and is installed as the final step when the entire window system is being installed.
• Mosquito nets are another additional element that prevents mosquitoes and other living creatures, debris and dust from penetrating through the windows into the room. True, mosquito nets do not protect very well from dust, the windowsill will still have to be regularly cleaned.
• You can also purchase stained glass windows designed to decorate the window. They are made in the form of stickers and glued directly on the glass.

As for the hardware, it deserves special attention.

Rehau company produces two types of pens. The first includes models without a key, designed for installation under the lattice. Adjusting the position is done by adjusting the handle: when it is pointing up, the window can only be opened from the top. When the position is lateral, the sash can be flung open. Looking down the handle closes the window.

The second type - handles with a key. In this case, sometimes it is necessary not only to use the key, but upon further opening it is also necessary to press the lock. Position management occurs on the same principle as in the previous case.

Rehau security barriers act as alternatives to ordinary window grilles. If you put such a barrier, the window will look more attractive in aesthetic terms. However, the barrier is able to protect not only from intrusion from outside. If there are small children at home, such a fence will save them from accidental falling out of an open window.

The fence is easy to assemble with your own hands. The installation itself is also quite simple: it is enough to have basic building skills. Wipe the fence itself is quite simple, because it consists only of vertical stripes. Dust will settle only on the frame. Such a device does not make it difficult to wash windows, allowing you to freely stick your hand through the bars.

Among other things, Rehau offers a set designed to simplify the care of plastic windows. Although all the frames can only be cleaned from time to time with a dry cloth, this does not mean that there will be no problems with washing the glass packs themselves. So, the majority in the old manner uses the usual soap and a sponge. Abrasives cannot be used, since the surface of the frame and the glass unit can be scratched, and as a result dirt will get stuck in the scratches.

The kit includes three tools:

• PVC profile cleaning solution will quickly remove contamination without damaging the profile itself;
• silicone sealant solution will prolong its service life, maintaining elasticity and sealing properties;
• Hardware lubricant is used to flush all parts to avoid creaking or sticking.

To put a window from the German brand Rehau, you have to sweat a lot. If there is such an opportunity, then it is better to contact the company's specialists on this issue, since the cost of the window package is decent and you do not want to spoil it. The installation process consists of the following steps:

• Removal of measurements. First, you need to properly measure the window opening in order to order a model from Rehau by its parameters.
• Replacing a wooden or old plastic window. It needs to be rooted out of the window opening, including the window sill.
• Preparing the opening. After that, the opening is prepared: polished, puttied, cleaned.
• Mounting and fastening. First, using the level check the flatness of the contour lines, then proceed to fixing all the details. First, attach the frame and window sill, then the very sash. At the end fit the slopes.

Adjustment is made using a hexagon (usually attached to a set of windows). Adjustment is required only in some cases. At first glance it may seem that such shortcomings require repair, but in the end just have to adjust the window.

• When the frame bevels, it is necessary to adjust it with a hexagon. It is rotated clockwise. Please note that the offset is only a couple of millimeters.
• If it is difficult to open and close, adjust the knob: press the sash tightly to the frame and turn the knob. If the problem persists, try lubricating the elements.
• If blowing from under the seal, tighten the bolts on the open flap. After this procedure, the problem should disappear.

The same applies to excessive commitment to cost savings. The quality of life can not be saved.Keep this in mind when relating the financial costs of buying a window and future results.

As for the installation, it is better to reassign it to the professionals. Then you will receive an additional guarantee on the windows Rehau, which is also important.
