Plastic windows are the most popular choice. They are durable, good noise insulation, easy to maintain, and their thermal insulation properties are especially important in a continental climate with hot summers and severe winters.
What plastic windows are best for an apartment? This question will help answer quality rating of plastic windows, compiled in 2018 based on user reviews from Irecommend and Otzovik sites.
Also, when drawing up the window hit parade, we took into account such criteria as the durability of the company, the popularity of the products, the quality of service and, of course, the price.
10. Panorama
The cost of a double-leaf window is from 7,500 rubles.
Opens the rating of the best plastic windows "Panorama" - one of the oldest manufacturers of plastic windows on the Russian market, which has been afloat for over 20 years. Over the years, the St. Petersburg firm has glazed over one and a half million square meters. So far, users are saddened by only one thing - that the company's service is so unobtrusive that it is difficult to get information about possible options.
9. SOK
Cost - from 14,000 rubles.
SOK, or "Samara Window Structures", was founded in 1999. The company does not have its own production, and the profiles are made under the patronage of the German concern Profine. In the rating for the quality of profiles for plastic windows, manufactured Profine KBE profile is considered one of the best, they have many accolades for durability and strength. Cons: the windows may turn yellow, possibly due to a violation of the technology at the Russian manufacturing plant.
8. Deceuninck
Prices - from 9 500 rubles.
Belgian concern The Deceuninck Group is one of the top three PVC window manufacturers worldwide... The Russian branch of the company has established itself with the creation of a new profile system "Favorite Space", which received the "Time for Innovation" prize for high energy efficiency. It is important that the company's windows are ISO certified. Cons: The company's cheap options are generally worse than similar budget offerings on the market.
7. Proplex
Prices - from 8 703 rubles.
Proplex windows are manufactured in the Moscow region using Austrian equipment, and raw materials and components from leading suppliers from the USA and European countries are used in the production. Although Proplex windows are rather positioned as a budget product, they are of sufficient quality even for Siberian frosts. PVC is of good quality - it does not crack or yellow over time. Users' complaints are mainly caused by the fittings - their quality leaves much to be desired.
6. Kaleva
Cost - from 9,000 rubles.
Kaleva - full cycle Russian window company... This means that they make the windows exclusively by themselves, from designing the window to installing it. The advantages of the company are an extensive network of dealer companies with representative offices in more than 80 cities of Russia. Unfortunately, one of the disadvantages is that the quality of both the windows themselves and their installation very much depends on the dealer company. It is also worth paying attention to the fact that the head office of the company does not accept complaints against unscrupulous dealers - find out, they say, for yourself.
5. Montblanc
Turnkey cost - from 9,000 rubles.
The company is the owner of one of the the largest PVC profile production plants in Russia, built under the supervision of Austrian specialists in 2001.Since then, the company has developed many types of profiles, ranging from standard triple to exotic five-chamber. At the moment, seven types of profiles have been created for any client's needs. From the pros - it is easy to bend under windows of any shape. Of the minuses - in some cases it can turn yellow, and the fittings are not the best.
4. Salamander
The average cost is 21,900 rubles.
The company has its own production from German components of the highest quality, which allows us to promptly deliver the required orders, up to such unusual ones as windows with protection against falling meteorite (undoubtedly, residents of Chelyabinsk should appreciate them). More traditional systems are well thought out, rugged and durable. Salamander has some of the best quality PVC windows on the market, but there is also a drawback - the price.
3. KBE
Price, on average - 8,700 rubles.
The third place in the ranking of manufacturers of plastic windows is occupied by KBE - its windows have long been one of the the most popular solutions for glazing an apartment... The profile is highly valued by both users and specialists - it was not for nothing that the company's specialists participated in the development of GOST standards for windows in 1997-1999, making KBE windows almost a standard. Users are generally satisfied, considering that KBE is one of the best plastic windows and represents the best price / quality ratio. But, of course, a lot depends on the supplier and installer.
2. REHAU
Can be ordered for 6 660 rubles.
German company REHAU has been developing and manufacturing PVC window systems since 1969. Over the years, the company has developed many profiles, ranging from the classic three-chamber all the way to the innovative six-chamber. Unfortunately, a lot depends on the vendor and installer. Well, I don't really want to overpay for an advertised brand either.
1. VEKA
Installation cost, on average - 11,500 rubles.
VEKA is considered the best profile for plastic windows in the Russian market. Is another German company that has been on the market for over 45 years. VEKA is one of the largest brands in the worldwith a representative office not only in European countries, but also in Latin America, Southeast Asia and China. In 1999, the first VEKA plant in Russia was built. The company produces only top quality A profiles according to European standards, which one to choose is up to you. Nice appearance, variety of profiles, endurance and temperature resistance - qualities that attracted the attention of buyers. But, again, a lot depends on the installer and the quality of the fittings.
I agree that kbe is one of the best profiles on the Russian market. And if we also take into account that the quality is German, then there should be no doubts at all when buying them. We have delivered kbe 88 and are very satisfied. By the way, I am very glad that the production of windows is environmentally friendly, this is not found in many companies ... and this is far from being unimportant. And so, in general, all those pluses that are written in the article actually have a place to be. They perfectly keep warm, do not let in noise, everything is acceptable for the price as it should be. So who else doubts when choosing windows, I recommend taking them, you will definitely not regret it)
How much you need to know in order to put yourself good windows and not suffer. My husband and I bought windows from KBE88 profile. We bought them because they were German. And we are completely satisfied with the windows!))
