Veka windows: varieties and their descriptions

Window designs from various manufacturers may be quite a good solution. But it is much more correct not to rely on a happy occasion, but to use a proven and reliable brand. Even German windows, however, should be thoroughly studied before making the final choice.

Veka windows for many years occupy leading positions in the Russian market, and even the harsh competition does not weaken their position. The famous brand was founded in the late 1960s, since then it has managed to become successful and promote its products in different regions of the world. Each copy of products manufactured under this brand has a certificate of compliance with one of the most stringent standards - German.

Structures are designed in such a way as to guarantee their use even in the most severe climatic conditions,under the influence of frost and heat, humidity and wind.

The manufacturer, valuing its reputation, supplies the widest range of profiles, double-glazed windows and fittings attached to them. This greatly facilitates the solution of any architectural problems and the needs of even the most demanding clientele. Profile complexes are classified according to the depth of installation and the number of cameras used. In any case, the company's products fall into category A. There are a variety of types of structures - stulpovye, swivel, reclining, swing-out, sliding.

No one else except German developers was able to implement the idea of ​​a six-chamber profile at such a high technical level. In addition to the impressive energy savings in the latest models, Veka was able to achieve an optimal level of noise protection. Engineers from the Federal Republic of Germany paid great attention to ensuring the safety and reliability of the structure, improving its anti-burglary characteristics. A high level of compaction is maintained by a special selection of materials and design solutions. Designers think through various methods and mechanisms of discovery.

It should be noted that all the company's factories, whether located in Germany or in Russia, operate according to the same technological standards and strictly comply with their requirements. The company managed to achieve:

• full fire safety;
• mechanical fortress;
• lack of sanitary and environmental risks;
• relatively moderate cost.

Keeping the price bar at the lowest possible level, the company has managed to achieve a situation where it is simply unprofitable for counterfeiters to imitate its products. Regardless of weather conditions, plastic cannot deform or change color. Additional strength give reinforcing details. Consumers have a wide choice, the goods are distributed according to the size of the mounting openings, the number of cameras and the chosen design. Other parameters are highly dependent on what specific types of profiles and fittings are installed.

Plastic windows appeared on the market for quite some time, and people quickly appreciated their quality.But to solve all problems at once with the help of a window of the same type will not work. The main purposes of using PVC blocks are:

• just passing light into a room with isolation from weather conditions;
• increased thermal protection;
• UV cover;
• prevention of bumps and penetration;
• acoustic protection.

You can be sure that the windows from one of the world's largest manufacturers, even the simplest, will show themselves with dignity. The tram of the tram, the scorching sun, twenty degrees of frost will not cause much inconvenience to residents. Trying to choose the highest quality product and at the same time save money, you should pay attention to the metal-plastic window elements.

They have first-class insulating properties and at the same time they open and lock, regardless of the season, equally easily. Reliable fittings allow you to not be afraid of clogging of the room with dust or the penetration of street noise from outside.The surface will be smooth and smooth everywhere. In addition to the frame and the double-glazed window, the seals used are of decisive importance in the case of a metal-plastic window. According to this indicator, German goods are unmatched.

“Smart” windows stand out even against the general background of products with an excellent energy saving level. Standard glass radiates infrared waves without any difficulty. In essence, this is the same as trying to warm the street. The problem is solved by special coatings that make radiation from the surface of the material minimal. It will not be possible to completely stop it, but it is quite possible to save up to 90% of thermal energy inside the house.

Surcharge for windows with increased energy efficiency compared to conventional solutions is not as significant as it may seem. The price difference pays off in a matter of months. But the benefits of spraying are not limited to cost reduction. The windows of the traditional view from dust and rain, from street dirt gradually get dirty.

In “smart” designs, this problem is almost completely solved - the self-cleaning function has been implemented. Completely get rid of the need to wash the glass will not succeed, but it will have to be done at times less, and the complexity of each sink will be less. Smart windows can also be represented by the "solar" category. So called samples that provide heat preservation in winter and protection from the sun in the summer months are equally effective. The coating is no longer made of titanium, but of silver compounds. Invisible to the naked eye, the layer stops up to 50% of heat.

In addition to the type of glass and various spraying, of great importance is the appearance of the opening of the structure, its composition. The opening window is divided into two large groups - bivalve and tricuspid. Execution of the entire opening in the form of a larger number of shutters is extremely rare, and for houses, apartments it is not typical. It is important to consider that standard sizes are standardized by no means in vain. This solution allowed:

• optimize the time of construction or repair, its cost;
• achieve a perfect match between the area of ​​the glazed space and the wind load;
• to provide such a distance between the opening parts and the opposite corners of the fixed frames, which gives a chance to clean the window on their own;
• reduce the mass of elements and the load they exert on parts of fittings;
• optimize the entry of light into the house;
• increase the energy efficiency of the structure.

By increasing the number of jumpers (crossbars), it is possible to make the structure more resistant to mechanical loads created by the wind. Frames with one leaf are placed either in the economic, ancillary parts of buildings, or in small living rooms. You cannot use them where full natural lighting is required.

Typical dimensions of windows are also related to their light characteristics. It has been repeatedly confirmed in practice that it is these elements that can provide quite effective illumination, regardless of whether it is located on the dark or on the light sides of the house. The north the settlement is located, the greater should be the penetrating stream of light.

Three full-sized sash is also useful because it allows you to easily wash the glass outside.Quadruple designs are mostly placed on a loggia or balcony, especially when there are living rooms behind these rooms.

The Veka company offers consumers the most different types of window blocks. An important place among the assortment is occupied by products of the category “Softline”. The thickness of the outer walls in these structures fully complies with the advanced standards of RAL standards. The contours of the design are elegant, and the sash can be made in a variety of ways:

• combined;
• half offset;
• displaced completely.

The combination of the frame and the sash in the light opening can be from 11.4 to 18.7 cm wide. The product is hardened in full compliance with corporate standards. Three seals are made for compaction. Carefully selected gray material completely cuts off space from noise, cold, drafts and moist air. The glass unit may have a thickness of 2.4 to 5.2 cm.

A closed-section amplifier in the frame and impost makes the static characteristics much higher than before. The choice of furniture systems is unlimited, all options are available to consumers.The double-glazed window is suitable for use both in inhabited, and in commercial rooms.

Euroline is a no less attractive line. The European company purposefully introduced into its composition products having the most varied lamination. Painting under the mahogany and walnut, light oaks and black cherries - all this is available, as well as dozens of other species. The selection uses profiles with a large number of cameras with a total width of 5.8 cm. The outer contours are made as elegant as possible, and the combination of frame and sash forms a light opening of 9.6-15.6 cm.

The implementation of the valves is possible in an offset or partially offset form. The functional characteristics vary flexibly: in addition to standard windows and windows with enhanced cold containment, there are systems for embedding in balcony doors and advanced protection complexes. Decorating the crossbar can be embedded in the glass or glued to it.Consolidation is carried out according to the faltsev scheme in the form of a monolithic contour.

The main seals used are silicone and APTA; their coloring is made in gray, black or caramel tones. If we use jumpers that divide the glass packet into fragments, they can be 4.2, 6.2, 8.2 or 11.8 cm wide. For crossbars that do not visually block the block, it is allowed by technical specification to be from 2.5 to 7, 6 cm

Sunline is another selection of German-made products. Consumers can give preference to both monolithic glass with a thickness of 0.4 cm and glass packs with a thickness of 1.8 cm.

The sliding opening mechanism is well thought out and ergonomic, it absorbs a minimum of internal space. There is no need to remove everything from the window sill when you open the sash. Compaction is done simultaneously with brushes and polymers, which allows you to cut off all the negative environmental factors. The device guides in the window is designed specifically to prevent premature wear.The rollers do not freeze to such a rail and open (lock) the opening as quickly as possible, easily.

Single glazing with the use of "Euroline" makes it possible to put:

• sliding windows;
• tightly closed shutters;
• tilt and turn parts.

The height is unified and is 160 cm. The width of the systems with a pair of leaves is 200 cm, and another 40 cm is added for three-leaved systems. Four-fold windows from this ruler are supplied with a width of 320 cm. The basic equipment can be improved not only by painting, it is possible to install self-cleaning glass with adjustable sliding parts and a locking mechanism. Practiced coloring in a randomly selected tone.

One of the most attractive solutions now is “WHS Halo 60”. Profiles in this line are made of suspension PVC. The results of numerous tests and independent examinations showed a high level of sanitary characteristics, complete protection from fire. Certificates issued by the authorities of the Russian Federation allow the use of such windows in medical organizations and in various institutions for children. Practice shows that they work well also for glazing of city apartments and country houses, industrial and warehouse buildings.

This version can not have a color performance, in the production it is painted exclusively in traditional white tone. Fittings and internal stuffing are designed for the most mass sizes of packages, their width is 2.4 or 3.2 cm. The extended fold allows installing packages with enhanced acoustic and thermal characteristics. Black seal, permissible fittings are unlimited, there are solutions with increased resistance to cracking.

Sash, materials and width - it is very important, but no less significant, what accessories are used to open the window. Classic products can turn the flaps, fold them, or combine both maneuvers in one. Non-standard type is used only for products of unusual shape, in which the movement of the valves occurs symmetrically or with a departure from the central axes of the blocks. The rotary format means that the frame will move into the room. Sheds are placed in the fitting grooves, the value of which is vertically equal to 13 mm.

Such a device is recognized by engineers as the base for the remaining opening options; little of,it will be possible to connect automatic components. How large the window will swing open is determined by a comb or a handle device.

We'll have to abandon the placement of high objects on the windowsill. You can put a handkerchief in there again, but the flower pot is gone. If automation is used, the gap for airing can be adjusted by itself, focusing on the temperature inside and outside.

The folding device is different from the rotary horizontal orientation of awnings. The goal is to keep children safe, to prevent external intrusions.

Swing-out option is considered the most practical and reliable. The mechanical part forms a closed perimeter. When an effort is applied to the handle, the locking pins begin to move. When the sash is turned, the flow of fresh air becomes greatest, and in addition it will be possible to wash and clean the outer contour of the window.The tilting mode allows air to pass inwards without causing drafts.

The helical subspecies of the rotating devices ensures the possibility of micro-ventilation or a barrier to open, so that the children are safe. Any operations in modern windows are performed by a single handle, because the inner filling cannot be simple. However, technologists of the European concern were able to achieve long service and extremely rare breakdowns. What is important, if you need to change the sash, you will be able to leave the rest of the window unit alone.

The tilt and turn unit can be mounted even on windows configured according to the original design concept.

Experts believe that the moving mechanism is the best way out if the total area is relatively small. The situation when the shutter would prevent putting various objects on the window is excluded. So this is the perfect choice for:

• balcony;
• loggias;
• attic;
• bay window

A serious minus is due to the fact that the room will be cooled strongly. Therefore, in living rooms such a structure is almost never used.An alternative is the parallel-sliding design, which implies not a turn, but a shift of the sash along the guide rail. When the movement is relaxed, the gap can be 10-15 cm. When the window closes, the sash goes down, special lock seals close; one more additional guide is needed for mosquito nets.

The choice of plastic windows should be maintained primarily on their profile. Of course, German-made profile blocks are of high quality, but this does not mean that each of them is truly universal. Products of group A are distinguished by external walls not thinner than 0.28 cm and internal from 0.25 cm. This solution guarantees excellent thermal insulation and becomes the optimal step for cold regions. Group B has walls that are 0.3 and 0.5 cm thinner, respectively; in addition to accelerated cooling, they can easily break.

The company supplies the market with only a first-class profile, and if it is proposed to buy the worst product, there is a fake. There are “object” profiles designed to become the windows of non-residential economic and industrial buildings. Plastic in a quality window is always smooth and smooth to the touch.Even the smallest grains or irregularities indicate a violation of technology. The marking on the inner sides of the boxes, which indicates:

• type of trademark;
• daily shift number;
• machine identification number;
• production date.

In most cases, a 5.8 cm wide profile is installed in living rooms. If you use constructions 7 cm wide, you can fully insure yourself even from severe frosts or from changes in conditions on the upper floors of high-rise buildings. The best characteristics of thermal protection provide profiles with a width of 9 cm, but the cost of such solutions is sometimes great.

When choosing it is necessary to clearly distinguish from each other the number of cameras and packages. Single-chamber windows are set to glaze a large opening, a balcony door or an exit to the veranda. But here they are not fundamentally suitable as external structures, because despite all the tricks of the engineers with spraying, they will miss a lot of heat.

It remains to find out the answer to another important question - which insulation is better. Thermoplastic polymers are widely used, which easily take on the required shape, allow for angular welding, and are distinguished by a small radius of rounding. But the company took into account the shortcomings of this material, its tendency to become brittle from the cold and plastic from the heat. Therefore, in her work she uses a rubber seal based on a thermopolymer, referred to as EPDM. A quality product does not collapse even under UV irradiation and stably maintains quality from -20 to +60 degrees.

The original sealant for the company is supplied by Deventer, supplying its products with markings along the entire length. This important fact helps to recognize almost any fakes. The service life of the sealing material is comparable to the period of operation of the window itself, and almost never needs to be replaced.

Experts recommend thinking about installing plastic windows of atypical geometric shape to the cottage. Alternatively, you can conduct an experiment with unusual colors, customizing them for the interior or playing on contrasts. Judging by the reviews of designers and their clients, installation of plastic windows is possible even in walls of a bar or a large log. In this case, inevitably there are features in the course of measurement and work. So, log houses built shortly before the glazing require you to leave compensation gaps in the upper and lower parts of the opening.

To the deformation of the logs did not lead to the destruction of the window structures, it is advisable to put the casing. So called a box of timber; it should not interfere with the construction of vertical shrinkage, but must also relieve excessive pressure. Production of deaf windows to order is justified for warm verandas.Installation along with monolithic at least one swing-out window will help to ensure the freshness of the air. Country house, designed for year-round life, glazed with two-chamber packages.

If you plan to go to a country house only during the warm season, you can choose products with sliding frames. In the winter garden put windows with vertical or tilted glazing, which should guarantee 100% tightness. Independent installation (with minimum skills) allows you to save up to 20% of the installation cost.
