Configuration of plastic windows: opening mechanisms

Today, plastic windows are equipped with all new and new mechanisms that allow you to expand the ways of opening their valves.

Configuration (system) of opening windows:

• Deaf (options for opening the valves are completely absent, for this reason, is used, as a rule, in conjunction with opening windows).
• Swivel (can be opened only in one of the sides - left or right).
• Folding (leaf opens from the top towards the inside).
• Sliding (opening method in which the frame leaves slide on a horizontal plane - the same as at the closet door).
• Framuzhnaya (folding opening system, in which only half of the window opens).
• Swivel (combined system in which "swivel" and "folding" ways of opening windows are combined).

Classification of plastic windows in form

Forms of plastic windows can be far from non-standard outlines , which allows for the introduction of advanced architectural solutions in the construction of a country house.

Forms of plastic windows:

• square (they also include horizontal and vertical rectangular windows);
• hexagonal;
• arched;
• round;
• triangular;
• polygonal;
• compound;
• oval;
• trapezoidal.

Functional characteristics of plastic windows

In addition to the opening mechanisms and forms, plastic windows can have their individual functional characteristics:

• Energy-saving (a layer of silver is applied to the glass unit, which does not affect the lighting of the room, but at the same time significantly reduces heat loss at home);
• Sound-insulating or sound-proofing (windows are equipped with: thickened double-glazed windows, enlarged “air chambers” - the space between the panes; they are covered with a special noise-face component);
• Impact resistant, they are shockproof (double-glazed windows consist of laminated glass with a protective resin);
• Semi-specular (in the glass units, sun-reflecting glass is used - reflex glass);
• Tinted (special component on glass prevents heat and ultraviolet radiation from entering the room);

Using dual-use glass, you can give a single glass packet several characteristics.
