3 features to know when choosing PVC windows and doors

This guide will help the reader understand all the main aspects of PVC windows and doors so they can independently choose the best product for themselves.

Do you want to buy PVC windows and doors with the various "Bonuses" available right now, but you are not quite sure how to navigate this vast world? You have come to the right place because today we will teach you why and how to choose PVC windows and doors.

Naturally, we at Polistamp will show you how to choose a quality PVC window and door, since our products, manufactured exclusively in Italy, are required to comply with strict rules before being delivered to the customer.

But let's get straight to the point!

Mainly, to choose your PVC windows and doors, you need to know the characteristics that define an excellent product. These characteristics can be grouped into 3 macro-categories:

  • Quality;
  • Design;
  • Installation.

How to choose quality PVC windows and doors.

First of all, it is very important that every window and door you purchase has the CE certification. This mark is a guarantee certificate that defines the quality of your purchase. If the CE mark is not available or the seller is reluctant to show it to you, it is a sign that the product is not of high quality.

But going into more detail, what are the quality criteria that help us understand how to choose PVC windows and doors? We must check that the product we are choosing complies with certain objective standards:

  • Thermal transmittance;
  • Resistance to water, air, and wind;
  • Acoustic insulation.

How to choose PVC windows and doors based on: thermal transmittance.

This point is fundamental because it determines not only the benefit you will bring to the environment but also to your wallet through savings on utility bills. In fact, PVC windows and doors have an excellent capacity to reduce heat loss in winter and coolness in summer (much superior to that of windows made with other materials).

Polistamp windows and doors achieve the highest values of thermal transmittance. In fact, many of our window systems have the ability to reach a value of 1.0 W/m²K even with a completely standard glass (the lower the number, the better the thermal transmittance).

Therefore, for example, during a cold winter, by benefiting from Polistamp's PVC windows, you can keep the building warm for longer, consequently providing greater comfort and clear financial savings on heating.

 

How to choose PVC windows and doors based on: resistance to water, air, and wind.

How many times has it happened to you during a heavy rainy day that you had to run to dry the water that came in through the windows? Me, never—want to know why? Simple, because I chose quality PVC windows that have been rated in class 9A (the lowest class is 1).

9A determines the ability of our PVC window to block the passage of water in the face of heavy rains with winds up to 110 km/h. Practically, you will be certain to enjoy the relaxing sound of rain without having to run around the house drying the floors!

 

How to choose PVC windows and doors based on: acoustic insulation.

The external location where we find ourselves should not determine the comfort of our building. Living near a railway, a nightclub, or a very busy place must absolutely not be a source of stress.

A quality, well-structured PVC window manages to acoustically insulate much better than other materials. For this reason, some of our products achieve an acoustic insulation of class 6, which represents the best classification obtainable.

This characteristic depends on the general structure of the window. In fact, it is not only the PVC structure that will determine the acoustic insulation, but also the glass it is paired with and the skill in installation.

How to choose PVC window frames: the importance of design.

Aesthetics are definitely a decisive factor. PVC window frames must be chosen with care also due to their long durability over time. It would become very difficult to live for several decades with window frames that do not pleasantly match our building.

For these reasons, Polistamp has decided to:

- provide dozens of colors to satisfy every type of requirement;

- offer the possibility of creating dual-color frames at standard film costs;

- modify the window structure according to the customer's needs.

How to choose PVC window frames: the importance of installation.

A quality window is also distinguished by its assembly. In fact, even the best window frame installed haphazardly will lose most of its best qualities.

Product quality must go hand in hand with installation quality. Consequently, Polistamp trains its agents so that they can enhance the characteristics of its window frames.

Polistamp's experience allows us to know how to train an agent so that they can always provide the best service for our customers.

Relying on an approximate service based on little experience could create major future problems that will entail a huge waste of time and money.

Conclusions. 

As you may have noticed from the description, choosing a PVC window frame is not at all simple. We created this blog to best inform the reader so that they can decide independently.

Remember that our offices will always be ready to direct you to our retailers (info@polistamp.com), who are supported by highly trained Polistamp agents, ready to lend a hand and guide you in your evaluation.
