This was particularly evident there in the market of PVC construction. The number of companies offering new windows, is constantly growing. But it is obvious that not all of the products of proper quality. Russian and international construction standards are designed to look into this matter.
The popularity of plastic windows is quite natural. After all, for many characteristics (high strength, viscosity, electrical charge, incombustibility, frost, etc.) they are significantly superior to all existing materials. Therefore, it seems logical rapid increase in the proportion of PVC structures observed in recent years in the domestic construction. Their demand is related not only with exceptional thermal and mechanical properties, but is economically feasible. If before buying plastic windows were available only to a select, but now their price is calculated on the mass consumer.

Eyes home - UTB window!

Before the report I want to say a few words about the company Hautau.
Company Hautau was founded in 1910 and for decades has grown from a small workshop in a modern manufacturer of fittings for the window industry.

A start was made framuzhnymi mechanisms, production of which has established the firm's founder William Hautai.

How to choose the right company?

What we are guided by choosing one or another product? Appearance - certainly the quality of products - of course, low price - again, "yes," manufacturer's warranty - also an important aspect. So, when choosing any product is the main criterion value for money.

When choosing wooden windows users primarily oriented to the appearance of products, prices and terms of manufacturing. Which of these options are really important and to what extent?
Wooden euro-windows are designed for at least fifty years of service. So the first question - the reliability, the second-look. Both depend on the quality and technology.

Window business - especially manufacturing from scratch

According to the research center "O.K.N.A. Marketing, the growth of the Russian market of PVC construction for the first quarter of 2008 amounted to more than 20%.

Advantages of plastic windows

The advantages of vinyl windows can talk very long time. In order to verify the justification of the cost of installation of plastic windows, suffice it to say only on their main advantages.
