When it comes to choosing PVC windows, many people pay attention to the price. However, their price can vary significantly depending on several factors, such as the manufacturer of the hardware, the characteristics of the profile and glazing, as well as the equipment of the PVC windows.
One of the main factors influencing the price of PVC windows is the manufacturer of the hardware and its features. German hardware and accessories are considered of the highest quality and, therefore, also the most expensive. Chinese accessories are usually more "mass-produced" in the world of window components and have a lower quality level, but their price is significantly lower than that of German accessories.
The thickness of the profile and the number of chambers also affect the price of PVC windows. The more chambers, the better the thermal and acoustic insulation properties of the window. Chambers are air spaces located within the window profile. They are filled with air or inert gas and play a crucial role in maintaining heat inside the room and reducing noise. The air chambers work like a thermos, creating a protective zone within the window and preventing cold or hot air from entering the room.
Typically, PVC window profiles have 3 to 6 chambers, and the number of chambers directly affects the price of the window. Windows with more chambers ensure higher energy efficiency and sound insulation and therefore have a higher price.
Therefore, the choice of the number of chambers in the PVC window profile depends on climatic conditions, thermal and acoustic insulation requirements, as well as the budget you are willing to invest in purchasing and installing windows.
Insulating glass is assembled structures of two or more glass panes with an intermediate space filled with air or inert gas. The space between the glass panes plays a crucial role in retaining heat inside rooms and reducing noise. Insulating glass usually has two or three glass panes, and the number of panes directly affects the cost of the product. Insulating glass with two panes is called single-pane. Windows with single-pane insulating glass are generally considered basic and more affordable in terms of price, but they have lower thermal and acoustic insulation properties. Such windows can be a good option for homes and apartments in regions with milder climates.
In addition to the points mentioned above, the price of PVC windows is also affected by additional options, such as the installation of mosquito screens, the choice of profile color (instead of the classic white), the type of window opening, etc. It is also important to consider the manufacturer's warranty, after-sales service, delivery and installation conditions for the windows.
In our ComfortHouse window store, the most popular window model is the German profile windows VEKA Softline 70. VEKA Softline 70 is a premium five-chamber system with a 70 mm wide profile that offers high thermal and acoustic insulation. The thickness of the outer profile wall is 3 mm, corresponding to class A+. Additionally, when manufacturing PVC windows, ComfortHouse uses German Wink Haus Active Pilot hardware.
In summary, when choosing PVC windows, it's important to consider multiple factors, including the hardware manufacturer, profile and insulating glass characteristics, additional options, etc. This will help you choose windows that meet your needs and budget, while also providing reliable thermal and acoustic insulation for your home.
