Glazing PVC is windows where the elements holding the glass are made not of wood, but from plastic (polyvinyl chloride, PVC).
Polyvinyl chloride — thermoplastic polymer of vinyl chloride; colorless, transparent plastic. PVC gained wide fame thanks to the use of profiles for the manufacture of windows and doors. This is an environmentally friendly product, which is a chemical compound of carbon, hydrogen and chlorine, which consists of about 57% of bound chlorine and 43% of ethylene. Like many other polymers, PVC is very durable.
The first windows from the PVC profile were developed and released in Germany in the middle of the last century. And today plastic windows are an integral part of any construction or repair. Below we will consider a number of the main advantages of PVC glazing.

The advantages and advantages of plastic windows
1. Thermal protection and sound insulation. Glazing PVC allows you to reliably protect the room from the penetration of cold and extraneous noise from the outside. PVC windows are 2, 5 times exceed wooden windows in sound insulation. They also carefully hold and warmly, providing the opportunity to save on the heating of the premises.
2. Durability. PVC products have enviable durability. Neither moisture, nor sun’s rays, nor insects and any natural microorganisms are afraid of them. The modern PVC profile can safely withstand the temperature from -50 to +60 and last more than 40 years.
3. Safety. Modern PVC profiles are fireproof, as they consist of compositions of special additives, thanks to which window structures do not support combustions and are predisposed to self -adjusting. In addition, glazing PVC implies an environmentally friendly system due to the specific structure of polyvinyl chloride, which “locks” any additives aimed at improving the characteristics of plastic windows.
4. Convenience. Glazing PVC is not only quickly in terms of installation, but also very simple in terms of care. Plastic windows do not require annual painting and putty: it is easy to wash them.
5. Price. Compared to aluminum or wooden glazing, PVC windows prices are much lower.
