Car floor mats for the interior and trunk. The best profiles for plastic windows - review, reviews, recommendations Plastic windows novline

Car mats have long become an attribute of comfort in a car; it is difficult to imagine a modern vehicle without them. This accessory performs many functions: it prevents moisture from entering the body, which reduces the likelihood of corrosion, the floor becomes less dirty and easier to clean. In addition, car mats help to a certain extent reduce noise in the car, making travel less tiring and creating a feeling of neatness and comfort.

3 main requirements for good car mats:

  1. The car mat must be fixed to the floor of the car, excluding movement around the cabin or trunk while driving. If the accessory does not meet this requirement, it does not protect well from moisture and dirt, interferes with the driver and passengers, especially when getting in and out, and gets underfoot. A poorly secured driver's mat can become a source of danger, because... when moving, it moves forward and creates an obstacle to the movements of the control pedals.
  2. The car mat must have a non-slip surface. This is especially important for the driver: his foot should not slip when moving from one pedal to another.
  3. The car mat should be made from environmentally friendly materials, guaranteeing the absence of harmful substances and odors in the cabin.

Types of car mats

Car mats that you can buy from us are made from different materials, which determines the differences in their properties and price. You can choose the type of accessories that suits you best:

Rubber

Manufacturers offer two types of car mats:

Universal models are suitable for any makes and models of cars. Such accessories have an enlarged format and a simplified shape. They are marked with notches over the entire area, by cutting along which the dimensions of the product can be adjusted for a wide variety of machines. Universal car mats can be purchased at a lower price because their cost is lower. However, this advantage has a downside: not a single such product fits perfectly in size and profile to any vehicle, and after trimming, the appearance deteriorates.

Model car mats are developed individually for a specific car model of a certain year of manufacture, so that the accessories exactly match the floor configuration. Their advantage is a perfect fit to the surface of the cabin or trunk.

Model products predominate on the domestic market: they perform their functions much better than universal ones, and manufacturers, focusing on demand, offer accessories of a variety of materials and colors for almost all brands and models of cars. Our store offers a wide range of such mats, and you will surely find one suitable for your car!

Novoline - MASTER WINDOWS

The Novoline plastic profile is similar to the German KBE system. The Novoline window profile is intended for the production of plastic door and window systems installed in any buildings located in difficult climatic zones.

The Novoline window profile was designed taking into account Russian climatic conditions. It is characterized by high resistance to frost and resistance to ultraviolet radiation. Novoline profiles are made from a material with a high coefficient of resistance to heat transfer and a low coefficient of linear thermal expansion. Welded seams of profiles have increased strength. The Novoline profile is frost-resistant.

The NOVOLINE window profile is manufactured using the latest German extrusion equipment. High-tech production lines ensure the production of window profiles of the highest quality, as evidenced by the presence of laser markings on every meter, informing about the production date, state standard number and system name. The German company IKA participated in the creation of a polyvinyl chloride mixture with unique technical characteristics. Special recipe components that give special strength to the plastic are produced at foreign chemical plants (United States of America, France). Novoline window profiles are produced with an installation width of 58 millimeters and 70 millimeters. 58mm window systems involve a four-chamber design. The location of the cameras inside the profile prevents the freezing process of the window structure.

The width of the five-chamber profile is 70 millimeters. The consequence of installing an additional chamber is that sound insulation and thermal insulation increase by 30 percent. Premises where windows made from this profile are installed are reliably protected from low temperatures. And the increased thickness of the profile walls prevents freezing of the window structure and the formation of water condensation. In addition, a perfect combination of elegance, technical solutions and economic benefits.

I am glad to welcome my readers!

I've installed a lot of windows in my career, but most of the time the quality wasn't very good.

The fact is that the main thing in a plastic window is the profile, but at first glance, all windows look the same. This is why I often encounter clients choosing a low-quality profile.

What is the main thing about plastic windows? The basis of plastic windows is a profile. A good profile is the key to high-quality and reliable plastic windows.

How to choose a high-quality profile and what to look for when choosing? I want to help you find the answer to this question in this article.

We go outside or take a newspaper and what we see are windows KBE, REHAU, VEKA, SALAMAHDER, LG, PROPLEX, BRUSBOX and the like. What is behind all these names? - These are the names of window profile manufacturing companies and nothing more, and your windows will be manufactured by completely different companies, and we know very well what our manufacturers can make from the best raw materials.

And yet a little about profile manufacturers. When ordering windows, you will hear from the manager that the windows (for example, KBE, VEKA, REHAU, SALAMANDER) are German windows made in Germany - naturally the best and highest quality. What is true in these words and what is not? Of all those listed, only SALAMANDER is 100% produced abroad (that’s why it has a corresponding price), the rest have been produced in Russia for a long time.

And about the production of window profiles itself. Most profile manufacturing plants have built their factories in Russia. I visited the KBE and VEKA factories - excellent factories, imported equipment, foreign specialists, imported raw materials, so where the profile comes from doesn’t make much difference (I think the situation is similar at other factories of European manufacturers).

True, as always, there is a “BUT”. This is a “BUT” profile system produced specifically for Russia, i.e. they don’t use it abroad - it’s only for us at “our request.” The advantage of this system is that it is cheap, the disadvantage is that to reduce the cost, the profile walls are made thinner, and therefore the thermal resistance is lower and the strength is lower.

For the south this is quite acceptable, in the middle zone it is doubtful, in the north it can freeze. Typically, this profile system is called an object profile and is used for glazing large objects - multi-storey residential buildings, industrial enterprises, etc. There are also Russian and Turkish systems, but since we are going to glaze our house, we will not consider these systems in detail.

I can write further which profile I personally prefer.

Which profile do you think is better? Which is better Rehau or Brusbox? Century or Proplex? KBE or LG? etc.

The most difficult and annoying question, to which it is almost impossible to give a reasoned answer, I can only express my personal opinion. I emphasize once again that this is my personal opinion, not advertising, and the conversation will only focus on the profile systems with which I worked.

A few words about SALAMANDER (not in competition) – a good profile. The main advantage is made in Germany, the main disadvantage is that it is expensive. If it had been produced in Russia, it would have been among the average.

Now, in order, about profile systems produced in Russia:

Better than others for:

  • number of customer reviews,
  • the number of defects in the supply of plastic profiles,
  • seal,
  • conducting seminars, trainings and educational courses for window manufacturers.
  • Variety of profile systems.

Another advantage is that it sells the profile only to well-equipped enterprises producing plastic windows, which it regularly inspects and issues its certificate to these factories. Therefore, if you have chosen a plant that works with this profile, then the likelihood of getting into an unpleasant situation is less.

I give second place. This company sells its profile only to well-equipped plastic window production enterprises, which it regularly inspects and issues its certificate to these factories. Therefore, if you have chosen a plant that works with this profile, then the likelihood of getting into an unpleasant situation is less.

Well-deserved 3rd place.

Flaws:

  • There are failures in the supply of profiles, defective profiles are more common than with REHAU and VEKA
  • Sells the profile to any plastic window factories.

THYSSEN, LG, DIMEX

MOTNTBLANK, PROPLESS, BRUSBOX

They share the last place in the number of positive reviews from people who installed windows, but are very well suited for glazing balconies and loggias, as well as domestic premises. The advantage is low price.

P.S. I haven’t worked with other profile systems, so I can’t say anything about them.

Which plastic window profile is better to choose? Selection tips and manufacturer ratings

The profile is the main element of any window; the durability and reliability of the entire structure depends on it. At first glance, the profile for PVC windows from different manufacturers looks almost the same.

The difference in quality becomes obvious after several months (or even years!) of use, when cheap windows begin to warp and cracks form in them. How to choose a good plastic profile for windows? How are the products of different brands different from each other? And does it make sense to save on glazing by choosing an economy class profile?

Profile for PVC windows: characteristics and types

The profile is the basis of the entire structure from which window sashes and frames are made. They determine not only the appearance of the window, but also its strength. Common materials for window profiles are wood (cedar and larch) and aluminum.

But most often the profile for windows is made of PVC, or polyvinyl chloride. This profile is reinforced with metal inserts and has air cavities inside that increase the thermal insulation of the structure.

According to the European standard EN 12608 SR “Unplasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC-U) for the manufacture of windows and doors” and the similar Russian GOST 30673-99 “Polyvinyl chloride profiles for window and door units. Technical specifications" profiles are classified according to a number of characteristics. In particular, according to the thickness of the external and internal walls, the following are distinguished:

  1. Class A profiles - have outer walls with a thickness of 2.8 mm and inner walls with a thickness of 2.5 mm; they provide the best thermal insulation and are considered the optimal choice.
  2. Class B profiles - have outer walls with a thickness of 2.5 mm, internal walls with a thickness of 2.0 mm; such windows are not only “cooler”, but also 15% less resistant to deformation.
  3. Class C profiles - all others that do not meet standards A and B; no strict requirements are imposed on them.

Note!

There is a so-called “object” profile, which is intended for installation in non-residential industrial premises. It cannot be used in houses and apartments - due to its thin walls it does not retain heat and is not resistant to deformation.

At first glance, such a profile is no different from a regular one - except that you can see the object marking on the protective film. Often, unscrupulous companies offering very low prices for their products sell windows made from exactly this profile.

Choosing the best profile for plastic windows

It is not easy to determine “by eye” which profile of plastic windows is better, but there are some features that can say a lot about its quality.

Profile uniformity

The plastic must be uniform and absolutely smooth. The grainy surface indicates that the windows were most likely made at home and are fake. The coating should also be uniform, without streaks or gradients.

By the way. To avoid buying a fake at the price of branded windows, pay attention to the factory markings on the inside of the window frame. It should have a stamp with the name of the manufacturer and a series of numbers: shift number, device for producing PVC profiles and date of manufacture.

Profile width

Most often, companies offer a plastic profile for windows with a width of 58 mm - this is a classic option, preferable for residential premises. There is also a profile with a width of 70 mm; this is often installed in high-rise buildings or where the climate is particularly harsh. The 90 mm wide profile is a premium offering and features excellent heat and sound insulation properties. However, not all companies work with such products.

Profile thickness

The profile thickness should be the same, from 2.5 mm to 3 mm. However, thin walls are not suitable for heavy window blocks - in this case, the welding seam is less strong, which means the reliability of the entire structure suffers.

Number of air chambers

The number of cameras also depends on the width of the profile. A 58 mm profile can have a maximum of three chambers - which, however, is quite enough for the windows to retain heat. 70mm - three, four or even five cameras. The last of those mentioned (70 mm) are most in demand for glazing apartments and houses.

The norm for a 90mm profile is six cameras. The more cameras there are, the warmer and quieter the house will be. However, in fairness it should be said that the difference between, for example, a three- and four-chamber package is not so significant.

Number of double glazed windows

The number of air chambers in a PVC profile should not be confused with the number of double-glazed windows. A double-glazed window is several sheets of glass connected to each other along the contour using a special frame and sealants. Sealed chambers with air or other gas inside are formed between the glasses.

Single-chamber double-glazed windows are the lightest; they consist of two glasses and one air chamber between them. Such double-glazed windows are very light, suitable for glazing large openings, so they are often installed on balconies, loggias and terraces. However, they are not suitable for windows due to insufficient thermal insulation.

For a home, cottage, office or apartment, it is better to choose a double-glazed window consisting of three sheets of glass and two air chambers. Three-chamber double-glazed windows made of four sheets of glass are rare, they are heavy and transmit less light than other types of double-glazed windows.

Such windows are in demand only in the North, where temperatures in winter can drop to -40 o C and below. At higher temperatures there is almost no difference between two- and three-chamber double-glazed windows.

Helpful advice!

When choosing a plastic profile for windows, pay attention to the frame seals. There must be two of them, otherwise condensation will settle under the frame, and this spoils the insulation and creates a favorable environment for bacteria and mold.

Rating of window profiles: comparison of products from key manufacturers

  • Rehau
    One of the most famous companies, which has been producing reliable windows for more than half a century and is considered the main innovator in this field, Rehau engineers are constantly improving the design and configuration of the profile - thus, the company pays great attention to environmental friendliness and energy-saving technologies. The company produces a profile with a width of 60-70 mm. Rehau products belong to the middle class.
  • VEKA
    Another German “giant” whose products are valued all over the world. VEKA produce white and colored profiles that do not fade or turn yellow when exposed to direct sunlight. The seal is made of natural rubber, which does not freeze even when exposed to very low temperatures - a valuable quality for the Russian climate. The line includes models with widths from 58 to 90 mm. In terms of price, VEKA windows are comparable to Rehau.
  • Trocal
    This is a company with a long history, one of the pioneers in the production of plastic windows. The first model was released in 1954. For decorative finishing, the company offers a wide range of options - from lamination to acrylic coating. The profile is manufactured using environmentally friendly Greenline technology and provides impeccable thermal insulation. Profile width – 70 mm.
  • Salamander
    This German company is not as famous as KBE or VEKA, but Salamander products are in no way inferior to them in quality. The profile is produced exclusively in Germany, which means that when purchasing such windows, you can count on truly European quality - at a European price. The company produces bags with widths from 60 to 76 mm.
  • KBE
    One of the most popular German brands that produces environmentally friendly windows recommended for installation in children's institutions and hospitals. KBE windows are of high quality and durability (can last up to 50 years!), and the line includes both luxury models and economy options. Profile width – from 58 to 70 mm.
  • Proplex
    Proplex is a Russian company that, despite its youth, has already managed to establish widespread production and significantly modernize window systems. The profile is being developed with the participation of Austrian specialists and taking into account Russian conditions. With very good quality products, the company has so far managed to maintain affordable prices. Proplex offers models in widths from 58 to 127 mm.

This is only a small part of the manufacturers of plastic windows; in fact, there are dozens, if not hundreds. Which plastic windows are better? When choosing glazing, you should give preference to well-known brands, but be sure to check all the documentation - famous brands are often counterfeited. Branded windows at too low a price are a sign that they may be trying to deceive you.

Editorial opinion

Even the best windows will not last long if mistakes were made during their installation. Simple economy class windows installed by professionals are better than expensive German windows installed by amateurs.

Which profile of plastic windows is better?

What is a quality profile?

The key to the quality and durability of a metal-plastic window is a high-quality profile. Even if at first glance the entire profile for plastic windows is the same, in reality this is far from the case. Which profile for plastic windows is better, and how to choose the right window will be advised to you by specialists from VEKA Rus.

Certificates

The entire profile from which windows are made is certified. The most significant is the RAL Certificate, which certifies not only the type of product, but also the place of its production. In other words, a profile of the same brand, but manufactured at different factories, will not always have this certificate.

The ISO 9001:2000 quality management system certificate is issued to production facilities that have a well-organized management system in compliance with all technological, economic and organizational requirements typical for production in developed countries. Both Russian VEKA plants have this certificate.

If the profile is wider, is it more reliable and warmer?

The width of the profile is one of its main characteristics. Many window manufacturers promise a couple of extra millimeters to the profile width in their advertising campaigns, but is there really any benefit from them?

The most common offers on the market are:

  1. classic profile 58 mm;
  2. 70 mm profile with increased installation width;
  3. VEKA ALPHALINE profile 90 mm.

The width of 58 mm is due to the “classics of the genre” - wooden frames, which were replaced by plastic windows. Today, the EUROLINE 58 mm profile allows us to produce modern warm windows that meet the requirements of most buyers in different climatic zones. When manufactured and installed correctly, it is the best profile for windows in any room.

The 70 mm wide profile is a proposal that appeared in the 80s of the last century. Having higher heat-saving and sound-insulating characteristics, this profile is especially loved by Russian consumers. In the product group of VEKA profiles with a width of 70 mm, there are SOFTLINE, SWINGLINE and PROLINE.

The 90mm wide profile is a premium product introduced about 5 years ago. The VEKA ALPHALINE profile allows the use of double-glazed windows up to 50 mm thick and is currently the unsurpassed leader among window profiles with increased energy-saving characteristics.

Note!

The choice of profile width largely depends on the installation location (window in an office, vestibule door, entrance door to a store, windows in a country house) and climate.

Now another new product has appeared on the market - the SOFTLINE 82 profile. An innovative multi-chamber system, elegant style and the ability to choose from more than 40 modifications guarantee satisfaction of the needs of the most demanding client. The SOFTLINE 82 system provides the best insulating properties, is fully compatible with 70 mm profiles and can be installed in any home.

Number of cameras

The second characteristic of a window is the number of cameras in the profile. There are three of them in the standard. The first is for removing condensate, the second is for placing a reinforcing metal liner, and the third is for securing parts of the fittings and creating an additional air gap for better sealing of the window. The number of chambers depends on the profile width. So, a 58 mm profile can have a maximum of three cameras, but a 70 mm profile can preferably have four. For a 90 mm profile, the norm is 6 chambers.

Three and six chamber profile systems

Increasing the number of cameras with the same profile width does not significantly change the characteristics of the window. To improve heat-saving characteristics, a wider profile is needed, and not a larger number of partitions in it.

Full package

Another important point is the double-glazed window. The number of glasses in a window affects its characteristics and cost. The most common are double glazing, but you can also order single glazed or triple glazed windows.

“Triple” windows are warmer. However, they weigh more and require high-quality installation and stable construction. Single-glazed windows are the coldest. It can be used for glazing unheated balconies, as well as summer houses. Double-glazed windows have optimal technical characteristics and allow you to maintain indoor comfort all year round.

Profile class

There are two classes of metal-plastic profiles. The first, class A, with a thickened external wall, is certified by the RAL system as the optimal profile for windows, doors and frame glazing.

Helpful advice!

The second, class B, is a lightweight profile with a thinner outer wall, the so-called “object” profile. It has a slightly lower cost, but does not guarantee that the characteristics of the window will be maintained throughout its operation.

Windows made from an “object” profile, as an economical option, can be offered by absolutely all manufacturers, but you must remember that such a window may have weaker corner connections, worse dimensional stability, lower energy-saving characteristics, the risk of premature wear of fittings, and a shorter service life.

conclusions

To summarize the discussion on the topic of choosing a profile for a metal-plastic window, we emphasize:
