Polyvinyl chloride, commonly abbreviated as PVC is a widely used thermoplastic polymer. It is one of the most valuable products of the chemical industry. Around the world, over 50% of all manufactured PVC is used in construction. As a building material PVC is cheap, durable, and easy to assemble. Polyvinyl chloride is used in a variety of applications. As a hard plastic, it is used as vinyl siding, magnetic stripe cards, window profiles, gramophone records (which is the source of the term vinyl records), pipe, plumbing and conduit fixtures. It can be made softer and more flexible by the addition of plasticizers, the most widely-used being phthalates. In this form it is used in clothing and upholstery and to make flexible hoses and tubing, flooring, to roofing membranes, and electrical cable insulation.
UPVC or Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride is often used in the building industry as a low-maintenance material, particularly in Europe where it is known as vinyl. The material comes in a range of colors and is used as a substitute for painted wood, mostly for window frames and sills. It has many other uses including fascia and siding. The same material has almost entirely replaced cast iron for plumbing and drainage, being used for waste pipes, drainpipes, gutters and down pipes.
uPVC WINSA is a product made of natural rare materials (57% salt and 43% oil) and it is 100% safe. In fact, it is widely used in medicine in the manufacture of catheters and blood bags. It is safe in other ways too. WINSA Windows made from uPVC create a 'safe' indoor environment, free from dust and noise pollution. It is safe from the ecological point of view. The manufacture of uPVC requires minimal use of energy, far less than the energy spent in the manufacture of aluminium or steel.
Unlike MOST other plastics UPVCl is self-extinguishing. This means when the source of the fire is taken away it stops burning. Any material will give off fumes when it burns but UPVC wont.
Plastic is inflammable material and does not support combustion. Tests carried out with plastic windows in extreme conditions showed that they were kept for half an hour temperature + 150ºC without cracking, blistering and peeling , and at +80ºC - 3:00 integers . Ignition temperature from an external source in PVC -330- 400ºC, at the tree - 210-270ºC, ignition temperature at 450ºC PVC, wood at 260ºC.
This is not quite true. Through the window always goes out more heat than through the wall. And to be precise the windows and doors give 80% of all heat loss. However, modern plastic windows twice more efficient in saving heat in winter and cool in summer than old wooden windows. In addition, PVC windows have a strong seal system. Therefore, to avoid condensation on windows and walls, airing is neccessary in case large temperature differences between inside and outside.
PVC are hermetic. Sealing materials play an imporatnt role. It can blow out of the joint between the frame and the wall in case of bad installation but good company never allows it.
PVC windows may be not only rectangular but also round, arched, triangular, oval, trapezoid. In principle it is possible to execute any order on an individual project of the customer. We have the unique equipment in Egypt for bending PVC profiles, which will satisfy your every whish on the form of the window.
PVC (polyvinyl chloride) is a product of chemical synthesis, main components of which are salt (sodium chloride), oil and gas. Qualitative PVC is inert to most chemicals. In particular, it is used in production of containers for storing blood and plasma. Plastic windows have been applied worldwide at sites with the highest environmental requirements, such as hospitals, nursery schools, special-purpose facilities.
As PVC stabilizers usually used lead compounds that protect PVC from decomposition at elevated temperatures, and significantly increase the life of finished windows. It is crucial that lead in PVC is bound in biologically inactive state, and can not be released into environment at any circumstances. Leadcontaining PVC stabilizers are non-volatile substances with low diffusion coefficients. When operating the window, they are not able to stand out from the rigid PVC polymer matrix product.
The process of lamination of PVC profile is carried out on an industrial equipment by bonding film with a special adhesive. Lifetime of decorated window is not less than the usual white.
Lamination film:
- has a wide temperature range of operation;
- not damaged by precipitation ;
- does not flake ;
- not afraid of UVA ;
- practically does not fade ;
- does not need cosmetic tinting ;
- easy to clean with soap and water as usual ;
- environmentally safe.
Yes, guarantee period and service life are different things. You receive guarantee certificates from manufacturer and they protect a customer from a manufacturing defect. And period of maintenance shows how long construction saves its properties. Service life of plastic windows in case of their correct exploting is about forty years.
According to experts the windows of rigid PVC are able to maintain their properties for 50 years. Another thing - the seals. Their lifespan ranges from 4 to 15 years. But to replace them is not necessary to change the entire window .
The new frame covered with a protective film that protects the plastic from damage during installation of window. It is removed after use. If there are scratches in operation , they can be sanded and then polished. Deep scratches, chips and potholes are filled with a special compound then also sanded and polished.
One chamber windows of 20 mm thickness is usually : 5-10-5 which means that in the "package" connected two 5 mm glass with 10 mm distance between them. If the formula is triple-pane windows of 32 mm : 5-8-4-10-5, it means two glasses thickness of 5 mm and one glass thickness 4 mm, space between them is 8 and 10 mm.
PVC windows can be almost any color. Modern technology ensures good resistance to staining and weathering durability of the coating. In addition to painted profiles we often use the factory color profiles. Profiles are covered with decorative films mimic the natural wood of different hues and colors. The choice is huge.
Yes, we offer a supply only service if wanted.
The sound of comfort for humans is 40-45 dB. PVC windows reduce noise up to 30 dB, which is comparable with a slight rustle of leaves. For example, the noise level on a busy motorway is 85 decibels, 50 meters close to it - 75 decibels. PVC windows reduce noise for 30 decibels as a result in your apartment will be supported level of sound comfort which is 40-45 decibels, this level of sound is compared with a noise of light wind rustling the leaves of the trees.
UPVC window systems are resistant to scratches during normal domestic use. If scratches do appear, they can be polished out.
Modern technology makes PVC window environmentally safe. All materials for PVC windows should have the international health certificate.
Durability is achieved thanks to manufacturing technology. The frame have five or three chamber - profile inside reinforcement by galvanized steel U, L- shape. According to manufacturing techniques the welding angles produce without reinforcing profile as their durability is provided by welding connection itself. Plastic and steel profiles connect with each other by self-tapping screws. Important part of a frame is an opening shutter for airing
In your case it is reasonable to put double glazed windows (3 glasses) with different thickness fo the glass as it gives an additional effect due to the partial elimination of resonance. You also need to remember that if you open the window, the entire insulation disappear.
The room will be ventilated but the air flow is not too strong. Fine-meshed structure of mosquito net protects against insects and slightly reduces the flow of air from the street.
We carry out a final survey, send out a contract for signing and request a deposit
To clean street dirt from outside and inside parts of frames of the PVC windows it is recommended to use the modern detergents of a liquid consistence, solution of laundry detergent or soap. You shouldn't use the cleaners containing abrasive materials or solvents in case of care of plastic windows. They can damage plastic and deprive of it faultlessly smooth surface.
The main disadvantage of PVC windows is considered that they don't pass air hindering natural air exchange. Another shortcoming is that the coefficient of thermal extension of plastic is quite great and considerably differs from the appropriate coefficient of glass. Such PVC properties lead to restriction of plastic windows by the sizes. Despite these shortcomings sales volumes of PVC windows in Egypt considerably increase.
We are the only one company in Egypt that uses technology "Warm Edge" which more common in Canada, Europe and Russia. This technology provides redundant safeguards in the local climate increasing protection from noise, summer heat or winter cold.
You pay the balance once the installation is completed.
White PVC profiles of the first releases really changed color under the influence of ultra-violet sunshine and heat. The modern materials for a window profile contain special components thanks to which color doesn't change.
In the conditions of the Egyptian capital on a ratio "price quality" a single-chamber double-glazed window (two glasses) not less than 20 mm thick will be the best decisiom.
To make heat saving and noise isolation more effective can be applied double-glass glazing (three glasses ) increasing its size to 32 mm or to replace an ordinary glass with energy saving.
