The advantages and disadvantages of five-chamber glass

Creating coziness in the house, people get beautiful furniture, pick up decorative elements, floor coverings and curtains, do the cleaning. However, it is equally important that the house has a good microclimate and reliable isolation from street noise. An excellent solution is to install a five-chamber glass.

Today, in apartments and offices, it is increasingly possible to see installed double-glazed windows. They look beautiful both outside and inside the room. But they are not only installed for the sake of aesthetic appearance, double-glazed windows also provide good thermal and sound insulation.

Any glass unit is a structure in which two or more glasses are fastened with spacers. In this plane of the glass parallel to each other.

This is a special material produced by special technology. It is distinguished by a perfectly smooth surface, high transparency, and the absence of defects present on ordinary glasses. If float glass is subjected to additional hardening, it acquires greater strength and becomes safe. If, however, such a glass is broken, it will be scattered into rectangular elements without the formation of fragments and pointed edges. These elements will not cut a person and cause no injuries.

In the design of the window must have the following elements: glass, sash, frame, fittings and gasket. The window can be divided into two parts (or more parts) using a special crossbar. It is called "impost".

A plastic window is called because a plastic profile is used in the manufacture. It has one main air chamber and several smaller ones. Profile stiffness depends on the main camera. To prevent deformation, the main chamber is often reinforced, then the profile is called “metal-plastic”.

Smaller cameras provide heat and sound insulation. These indicators are directly dependent on the number of small cameras.Their number determines the thickness of the glass. In the five-chamber, it is 70 mm.

Five-chamber products have many advantages.

• Excellent heat and sound insulation properties. In winter, they perfectly protect against the penetration of cold air, and in summer - from hot, keeping cool in the room.
• High structural strength, increased protection against burglary.
• Long service life. Many manufacturers promise up to 40 years of service.
• The possibility of use in different climatic zones. Products withstand temperatures from -50 to +50 C.

• Resistance to static load.
• Ability to choose the shape and size, the way of opening the window.
• Ease of care. Products do not need painting, they do not need to be insulated for winter.
• Universal design. They are perfectly combined with different curtains (like fabric, and blinds or roll).

In order to establish an expensive construction, it is advisable to turn to reliable manufacturers that have long been working in the market. Some of them provide an additional advantage: the choice of the type of glass. There are several options:

• Thermal glass with a special mirror coating.The top layer is applied by vacuum spraying of silver particles. Reflecting effect contributes to an increased level of heat retention. Such glasses are appropriate in regions with very cold winters.
• Special film coated glassesincreasing strength. With a strong mechanical action, the glass will be covered with a network of cracks, but fragments will not fall out of it. The inability of this type of glass to cause injury makes it suitable for children's institutions, shop windows.
• Tinted glass Special tint coating protects the room from bright ultraviolet radiation. Such glasses are appropriate on the south side of the building, which is exposed to sunlight throughout the day.

However, with all its obvious advantages, five-chamber double-glazed windows have some drawbacks:

• they are more expensive;
• when installing such a glass unit reduces the width of the window sill, which creates inconvenience;
• high-quality, often expensive fittings should be selected, which is needed to close the window tightly, secure hinges and prevent drafts between the doors;
• It should be well thought out the configuration of the window, the ratio of movable and fixed blocks (deaf design may not be available for washing outside).

When choosing a five-chamber glass unit, first of all, it is necessary to relate its characteristics to the conditions in which it will be used. For example, if the windows overlook a glazed balcony, or if it is a window in the kitchen that needs to be aired often, then there is no need to overpay for enhanced thermal insulation.

Having decided on the level of heat and sound insulation, select the elements, options and parameters that will contribute to the expansion of the structural possibilities of the window. It should be easy and convenient to use.

To be sure of the quality and reliability of the design, you should contact the companies that have proven themselves well. For example, products of the German manufacturer are in demand. Rehau. The five-chamber double-glazed window of BRILLIANT-DESIGN is characterized by the high level of heat and noise isolations, beautiful appearance. The constructions use special reinforcement with a thermal insert. You can choose from several color options. The material is well tolerated by external influences, without changing color. This window can serve up to 60 years.

The group of companies also has high positions in the ratings of manufacturers of plastic windows. KBE. The five-chamber profile KBE "Elite" is made of eco-friendly material greenline. It does not contain zinc and lead compounds, so these structures can be installed in children's and medical institutions. The products have good characteristics, the material is not subject to deformation. Products serve till 40 years, without losing functional properties.
