Windows that don't cry and doors that don't sag: A complete guide to choosing for your apartment and home
Repairs are always a test of the strength of the nervous system and wallet. And if you can re—paste wallpaper or repaint linoleum in a couple of years without much damage, then replacing windows and the front door is a capital investment. Make a mistake with the choice of a plastic profile — and every winter you will heat the street, listen to the hum of passing cars and fight black mold on the slopes. Put up a cheap front door and you'll be aware of all the scandals in the stairwell and the smells of neighborhood dinners.
The purchase of glazing and space zoning elements does not tolerate haste. If you find yourself on this page, it means that the roughing stage is in full swing, or the old Soviet wooden frames have completely crumbled.
Right now in our catalog 740 listings found. This is relevant Windows and doors for sale {region.in }. Both large manufacturing plants and private carpentry workshops are represented on the platform.
In this huge expert guide, we will analyze without advertising husks why a 5-chamber profile is sometimes worse than a 3-chamber one, why the entrance door for a private house needs a "thermal break", how not to be fooled during installation, and why looking for contractors on a bulletin board is the smartest way to save your budget.
🪟 Plastic windows (PVC): Debunking myths and choosing quality
When you call the window company, the manager starts pouring out terms: "Rehau, Century, five-chamber, energy saving." How can an ordinary person figure this out?
1. Profile and Mounting width (They are not the same thing!) 📏
Many people think that the number of air chambers in the plastic itself is the main thing. This is a myth.
- Width 58-60 mm (usually 3 cameras): The basic version. It is suitable for glazing loggias, country houses and apartments in warm climates. To put such a window in a bedroom in the north means to freeze.
- Width 70-76 mm (usually 5 chambers): The gold standard for residential apartments. Plastic is wider and freezes less, but the main thing is that a thick and warm double—glazed window can be installed in such a profile.
- Reinforcement (Window skeleton): Inside the plastic, there must be a metal profile (U-shaped or square) with a thickness of at least 1.4 - 1.5 mm. If the reinforcement is thinner (1.2 mm), the window will "lead" away from the summer sun or winter frost, and the sash will stop closing.
2. Double-glazed windows: where the heat is hidden
Glass occupies 80% of the window area. It is through him that the heat leaves.
- Double-glazed unit (3 panes): Required for living rooms.
- Energy-saving (i-glass) and Multifunctional glass: This is not marketing, this is physics. An invisible silver ion coating is applied to the glass. In winter, it works as a heat mirror — it reflects heat from the battery back into the room. In summer, it keeps out the heat from the sun from the street. The price difference is tiny, but the effect is enormous.
3. Accessories: what you can not save on
Handles, hinges, trunnions, and counter bars. If the profile is the body of the window, then the fittings are its muscles. Cheap Turkish or Chinese fittings will start to creak and wedge after a year. The sash will sag, and it will blow from under it. Look for German or Austrian fittings in the ads on the website.: Maco, Roto, Siegenia, Winkhaus. They can withstand 40,000 opening cycles.
Metal entrance doors: My house is my fortress
When choosing an entrance door, we often look only at the beautiful interior MDF panel. But the main thing is hidden inside the metal.
- Steel thickness: Chinese doors for 30,000 tenge are made of 0.5 mm thick foil (they can actually be opened with an ordinary can opener, this is not a joke). A normal apartment door should have the thickness of the outer sheet. at least 1.5 mm (ideally 2.0 mm).
- Filler (Noise Insulation): Corrugated cardboard or styrofoam — in the trash. There should be dense mineral wool or polyurethane foam inside a high-quality door. Only they will protect you from the sound of a working elevator and neighborhood swearing.
- Thermal break for a private home: If the door opens directly onto the street (without a cold vestibule), an ordinary steel door will be covered with frost and ice from the inside in winter. Steel conducts cold perfectly. A thermally ruptured door has an insulator layer (cork or plastic) that separates the outer (cold) and inner (warm) contours of the metal.
- Locks: The ideal combination is two different types of locks: a lever lock (massive, with a butterfly key, which perfectly protects against forceful hacking) and a cylinder lock (which protects against lock picks).
, Interior doors: how not to buy pressed paper
Interior doors are responsible for the comfort. In the catalog in Kazakhstan There are hundreds of models, but what are they made of?
- Laminated doors (Dummies): There are cardboard honeycombs inside, and a thin film on top. Very light. They are afraid of moisture, they easily break through with a fist or a toy. The only advantage is the ridiculous price. Suitable for temporary renovation or a rented apartment.
- Doors in Eco-veneer / PVC (King-shaped prefabricated): The most popular choice. They look like wood, but they are covered with a durable anti-vandal film. They are not afraid of moisture (they can be put in the bathroom), they are not scratched by the claws of cats. The kingpin design means that if you damage one bar (the foot), it can be disassembled and replaced without changing the entire door.
- Woodlands (Pine, oak, ash): Expensive, heavy, and high-status. They require stable indoor humidity (they can dry out in winter without a humidifier).
- Concealed doors (Invisible): The trend of recent years. The box is hidden in the wall at the stage of roughing the plaster. The door comes without architraves and is painted in the color of the walls or covered with wallpaper. Creates the effect of "invisibility" and visually expands the space.
Mirrors, balconies and loggias: Expanding horizons
The section of our website is not just about frames and hinges. Here you will find everything for the finishing touch.: Windows, doors, mirrors, balconies are the best choice at an affordable price.
- Balcony glazing: It can be "cold" (Provedal aluminum sliding system — protects only from wind, dust and precipitation) and "warm" (heavy PVC structures with double-glazed windows). Warm glazing allows you to combine the loggia with a room and make a study there, but requires careful insulation of the walls and floor of the loggia with foam.
- Custom mirrors: The perfect solution for hallways and bathrooms. On the platform, you can find craftsmen who will cut out a mirror according to your size, make a beautiful facet (beveled edge) or make a modern LED mirror with floating illumination and anti-fogging heating.
, FAQ: Frequent questions from customers
Why do new plastic windows "cry" (condensation appears)? Windows do not emit water. Condensation is moisture from the air in your apartment. The old wooden windows had slits through which the apartment breathed (natural ventilation). PVC windows are as airtight as a submarine. If your extractor hood doesn't work well in the kitchen and you don't ventilate, the moisture has nowhere to go, and it settles on the coldest place (glass). Solution: install a supply valve or open the micro-ventilation more often.
Is it possible to change windows in winter? Will the apartment be iced? It is possible and even necessary! In winter, installers are less busy, prices are lower, and any drafts from poor seam cutting are detected instantly. The opening itself remains open for no more than 30-40 minutes, during which time the batteries will not freeze (if it is not -30 °C outside). The craftsmen use a special winter mounting foam.
What is installation according to GOST (with PSUL tapes)? The usual installation is a window on anchors, filled with foam. The foam is afraid of ultraviolet (sun) and moisture — after 3 years it darkens and crumbles. Installation according to GOST implies that the foam seam on the street side is protected by a PSUL tape (or a special Stiz-A sealant), and on the room side by a vapor barrier tape. This ensures that there will never be any blowing from the slopes.
