Disputes about which windows are better for the house – metal -plastic or wooden – have been conducted for a long time and still do not subside. To understand this issue, we turn to the characteristics of each material.
Metal -plastics has advantages in the eyes of the buyer: practical, available in price, you can order windows at any time of the year, you do not need to paint a window, the shape of the binding can be any. These are the main advantages of a metal -plastic window.
What is known about natural wood, and primarily about the pine tree from which modern windows are made:
The low coefficient of thermal expansion is not known to everyone, but the plastic has a higher coefficient than wood (pine), therefore, there are certain restrictions on the manufacture of metal -plastic windows in the size of the window format, unlike wooden windows that can have any format;
Long service life – a wooden window is able to last 100 years and even more;
Environmental friendliness – wood is natural material;
Air permeability – a wooden window due to the micropor available in the wood passes, so the room is continuously ventilated.
Windows, well known to us from the past, annually demanded the renewal of paint, as well as putty, quickly lost their original shape, sry out. Modern wooden windows are a completely different design, which is based on the same double -glazed window that is used in the production of metal -plastic windows. It has tightness and high strength. Frames are made from wood, into which a double -glazed window is inserted. Also, a wooden window is assembled using the most durable modern fittings, guaranteeing easy opening and closing the window at any time of the year. High -quality seals exclude the appearance of drafts. In addition, do not forget about such an important dignity of wooden windows as high thermal insulation. According to this indicator, wooden windows do not know equal, which provided wooden windows with the highest demand in all countries with cold climate and frosty winters.
Of course, not any wood is used in the production of windows. The beam going to the production of windows passes the most thorough selection. Therefore, only a pine of a selected variety for your home will become a material for the manufacture of windows.
