Metal-plastic windows and doors for cottages and private houses

Today, windows and doors for a private house do not necessarily have to be wooden. Metal-plastic windows for cottages, as well as PVC doors — entrance, interior and sliding — are not inferior to wooden ones in design. And in terms of functionality, comfort and energy-saving indicators, they surpass the absolute majority of wooden structures.

Which windows should I choose for a private house?

Modern cottages and private houses are built primarily with the expectation of maximum energy efficiency. The thermal conductivity of the walls of such a building is lower than the thermal conductivity of the walls of a typical apartment building. Therefore, when planning to buy windows for a private house or cottage, you need to focus primarily on energy saving indicators. Installing windows from profile systems with high energy efficiency — WDS 6S, WDS 7S, WDS 8S — allows you to solve this problem. In addition, the window for the cottage should be equipped with an energy—efficient double-glazed window - two-chamber, with energy-saving glasses and inert gas.

Also, when completing windows for a private house, you need to take into account:

• Design. Laminated windows for a cottage look more advantageous than white ones. Lamination of plastic windows can be made in any desired color.
• Safety. Windows for a private house should preferably be equipped with burglar-proof fittings. It is also not superfluous to install double-glazed windows with triplex or tempered glass in the window for the cottage.

Entrance and interior plastic doors for cottages

Plastic doors can also be installed in a private house or cottage:

• Entrance metal-plastic doors for a private house make it as durable and energy efficient as possible. Burglary resistance is ensured by the installation of reliable locking mechanisms. The design of the entrance plastic door provides protection against blowing, including in the threshold area. At the same time, powerful hinges guarantee easy and smooth movement of the door leaf.
• Entrance doors for private houses with filling based on HPL panels deserve special mention. In addition to the original design, such structures have a number of advantages — good thermal insulation performance, resistance to temperature changes and a long service life. The HPL panel is lighter than a double-glazed window, which is usually used to fill the door leaf — so the load on the hinges will be lower, and the design will require less adjustment.
• Light interior doors for a private house can also be made on the basis of a PVC profile. PVC doors for the cottage are equipped with convenient fittings that facilitate opening. Thermal insulation of such doors is not on the priority list — sound insulation, ease of opening and design are much more important.

Separately, it is worth mentioning sliding doors for the cottage. The sliding sash moves along the guides in the plane of the door and thereby saves useful space. The use of sliding doors makes it possible to increase comfort in the room while maintaining effective thermal insulation and a good view.

The price of windows for a cottage

The price of plastic windows for a private house depends on:

• Window size.
• Energy efficiency requirements (it directly depends on which profile and which double-glazed window will be included in the package).
• Appearance — laminated windows for private houses are somewhat more expensive than white ones, but they look much more attractive.

The final cost of windows for a private house is calculated after the complete set of structures is agreed, and specialists will perform accurate measurements of window openings.

Frequently Asked questions about windows and doors for cottages

To make it easier for you to choose plastic windows for cottages, private houses or dachas, we have prepared answers to the questions that customers most often ask managers of a branded salon.

Which profile is better to choose for the manufacture of windows in a private house?

For a private house with autonomous heating, window structures with maximum thermal insulation are needed. Thus, the optimal choice will be a window profile with six cameras and a width of at least 70 mm. Six-chamber systems WDS 6S, WDS 7S and WDS 8S have good thermal performance, therefore they should be considered as the optimal option for glazing a private house.

Is it necessary to install double-glazed windows in a private house?

The installation of a two-chamber energy-saving double-glazed window when glazing a private house is justified for two reasons:

• Only such a double-glazed window ensures compliance with the requirements for heat transfer resistance prescribed in the DSTU.
• Installing a double-glazed window with minimal thermal conductivity will reduce heat loss. The result is a comfortable temperature is achieved at lower costs for autonomous heating.

What hardware elements are needed for windows and doors in a private house?

To make windows and doors in a private house as comfortable and safe as possible, when they are equipped, you need to use:

• Reliable locks.
• Anti-burglar accessories.
• Child safety locks.
• Handles with a key or anti-burglar mechanism.
• Devices for ventilation — micro-ventilation, step-by-step ventilation, latch / limiter of the sash rotation.

Is it possible to manufacture non-rectangular windows for a cottage?

Non-standard windows for a private house or cottage can be provided by the project. Despite the longer production time and somewhat higher (compared to rectangular windows) price, their manufacture is possible. The technology allows you to produce windows of this shape:

• Triangular
• Trapezoidal
• Arched
• Round, etc.

Which profile for windows in a private house is better — plastic or wooden?

Wooden windows for a private house are a traditional solution that is occasionally used even now. However, modern plastic windows have almost completely replaced wood products. The advantages of plastic windows include:

• High thermal insulation performance.
• Minimal care requirements.
• High functionality (the ability to open in several modes).
• More affordable — in comparison with wooden windows of the same class — the cost.

At the same time, laminated windows for a private house may look indistinguishable from wooden ones, but at the same time have all the advantages of PVC products.

What color can plastic windows be for a cottage?

White plastic windows in cottages and private houses are rarely used. Much more often, property owners install laminated plastic windows. The lamination palette includes an unlimited number of color solutions, which allows you to choose the shade of windows and doors for almost any facade or interior design. Wooden windows, gray and black colors, windows with matte lamination or in bright colors – you can order all this from us.

Is it possible to order the installation of windows in a private house in our company?

High-quality installation of windows in a private house, cottage or cottage is very important. The quality of the installation directly affects how effectively the structure will retain heat and perform its other functions. When ordering installation in our company, all work will be done as quickly as possible — experienced craftsmen will install the structures in the openings and arrange the mounting seams for maximum tightness and thermal insulation.

We also recommend using DSTU installation with the use of vapor barrier and vapor permeable mounting tapes. This will not only minimize heat loss, but also normalize ventilation, reducing the likelihood of condensation on double-glazed windows.
