How many years will a plastic window last

How many years can a plastic window last? - The service life is affected by the quality of components and installation, as well as how carefully the window is used and whether it is serviced.

In general, PVC profile windows are reliable and durable products. The first plastic windows appeared in the middle of the last century, and some of them are still in use.

The service life of a window depends on the quality and characteristics of all its components. Profile, double-glazed windows and fittings - all together they affect how many years plastic windows serve.

Profile. A window frame is made of it - it must be resistant to thermal and mechanical stress, the action of UV rays. The characteristics of the profile determine how rigid, durable, airtight the window structure will be.

On average, the service life of a PVC profile is 30-40 years or more. WINSA has a 10 year warranty program.

Double-glazed window. It can serve up to 40-50 years and even more if high-quality materials were used for its manufacture, and the assembly was done correctly.

A double-glazed window is not only glass, but also a metal frame around the perimeter, a sealant that is used at the seams, and other elements. The service life of a double-glazed window depends on the correct installation of the window: installation errors can cause loss of tightness, in which the double-glazed window fogs up from the inside, and even the appearance of cracks in the glass. There is no need to talk about the preservation of the thermal insulation properties of such a double-glazed window.

Accessories. Its service life is expressed in the number of operating cycles. Hinges and locks must withstand at least 20 thousand opening and closing cycles. If every day you open and close the sash twice, locks with hinges will last at least 27 years. But even if the fittings fail earlier, they can be replaced, and the window will still serve.
