Why PVC
It is widely believed that plastic windows are the best choice when replacing old ones. They offer high thermal and sound insulation, are hard to ignite and do not sustain burning, are stable and weather-resistant, last a long time and need no special maintenance. This is indeed true – provided that the material meets the latest technological standards.
Because of their good thermal insulation, polyvinyl chloride windows are used mainly in residential buildings. PVC is also used for partition walls and entrance doors, but there the glazed area is much smaller. The profiles come in a wide variety of shapes and colours, so they suit both new homes and the renovation of old buildings.
Inaplast Ltd. works with PVC profiles by VEKA and ProfiLink – world leaders in the production of PVC profiles. Depending on the design and the level of thermal insulation, they have 5 to 7 chambers. What this looks like in cross-section – on the home page.
The systems
Softline 70 mm
Classic design, very good insulating properties and optimal sound insulation. The profiles withstand all climatic conditions and are easy to clean and maintain. The basic width is 70 mm and the outer wall is 3 mm thick. VEKA systems meet the highest international standards and are made under strict German control.
The five-chamber profiles guarantee excellent, up-to-date thermal insulation, so the principle of energy efficiency and lower heating costs is kept even on large projects. The profiles are compatible with the other 70 mm VEKA systems and can be fitted with any standard hardware. The seals are black or grey, and the standard glazing is a 24 mm insulated glazing unit.
- Chambers
- 5, basic width 70 mm
- Profile quality
- class A
- Thermal insulation
- Uw = 1.3 W/(m²K) with a standard insulated glazing unit with Ug = 1.1 W/(m²K)
- Glazing
- from 4 to 42 mm (50 mm with a special sash)
- Colours
- a wide variety of colours and decors
The smooth surface is easy to look after; the profiles are strong, durable and reliable.
Softline 82 mm
Made to the highest quality criteria of class A under DIN EN 12608, with thick walls, Softline 82 profiles combine superior insulation with exceptional durability, strength and security. It is an innovative, modern window system made in Germany. The multi-chamber design gives optimal thermal insulation and reduces energy use and heating costs.
- Chambers
- 6 and 7, basic width 82 mm
- Profile quality
- class A
- Thermal insulation
- Uw = 0.67 W/(m²K) with a triple insulated glazing unit with Ug = 0.4 W/(m²K)
- Glazing
- from 24 to 52 mm, rebate depth 28 mm
- Sealing
- three zones; a version with two seals – Softline 82 AD
