The best plastic windows, rating of companies in 2016
10. PANORAMA
The average price of a 2m window? - 8500 rubles.
In 2011, the company entered the top twenty of the best Russian window companies according to the portal "OKNA MEDIA" and the rating of the industry center "O.K.N.A. Marketing” and received the prize “Golden Window-2011”. It is praised for meeting deadlines, qualified staff and cheap prices.
There are also negative reviews associated with the formation of condensation and freezing after installing windows.
9. SOK
The average price is 12,000 rubles.
Samara company operating on the market since 1999. One of the first in the Russian Federation to establish its own production of PVC profiles.
Advantages: long-term warranty (3 years), the window profile is adapted to Russian conditions with a far from mild climate, factory build quality according to GOST, the windows are warm due to the large width of the profile system (62 mm).
By cons, users attribute the high price and some note yellowing over time.
8. Deceuninck
The average cost is 10800 rubles.
The Belgian company offers high-quality PVC windows at very attractive prices. The most affordable in terms of price is the Deceuninck Forward series with a three-chamber profile 60 mm thick, which is better than competitors from the economy segment in terms of parameters. Forward profile will last at least 40 years, sealing - over 20 years.
Disadvantages - at minus 25 degrees it can freeze, such a review was left about the Deceuninck Favorit series.
7.Proplex
The average price is 9000 rubles.
The best economy class windows made using Austrian technology. The company has been operating on the Russian market for over 10 years, and bad players in such a competitive niche do not stay long. Advantages: a wide range of colors, shapes and sizes of windows. Proplex offers 7 PVC profile systems with different number of chambers. Condensation does not appear on the windows even at low temperatures, and at high temperatures it does not "lead".
The disadvantage is that the manufacturer saved on fittings, it can become loose.
6. Kaleva
The average price is 10200 rubles.
Russian window company with representative offices in 80 cities of the Russian Federation. Customers praise her for the high-quality Decco plastic profile, reliable fittings, and fast turnaround time.
However, the service depends on the specific office and dealer, the central office does not accept complaints, so in case of problems, you will have to deal with the local installer. Also, installers do not always provide complete information to customers, such as that it is possible to install a window with internal hinges.
5. MONTBLANC
The average cost is 8000 rubles.
Offers 7 options for PVC profiles. Of these, the best, perhaps, is the Nord, which is suitable for all weather conditions. There are good reviews about heat and sound insulation.
And the negative points are associated with fittings of not the best quality.
4. SALAMANDER
The average cost is 26,000 rubles.
The most expensive windows in the ranking of plastic windows in 2016. Made on German equipment (Haffner, Rotox, Urban), from high-quality plastic, which does not turn yellow over time. The spatulas "merge" with the window into a single whole, which improves the appearance. High-quality fittings, three-chamber double-glazed window, PVC profile with three-sided reinforcement - what else is needed to meet frost and heat?
You probably already guessed about the disadvantage. This is the price.
3. KBE
Sold at a price of about - 7900 rubles.
German brand, whose products appeared on the Russian market in 1995. Since then, she has been respected by window installers and clients alike. With these windows, the apartment is warm and dry all year round (frost resistance is up to minus 60 degrees), noise from the street does not penetrate, in addition, they are environmentally friendly (do not contain lead).
Cons: Sometimes they need to be washed.
2. REHAU
You can buy on average for - 9700 rubles.
There are various plastic window profiles on the market, but German ones such as REHAU are more preferable. They are better than competitors in terms of insulation properties and durability (60 years). REHAU profiles are available in 60 and 70 mm widths, three- and five-chamber, with white and black sealing rubber. The most economical option is the REHAU BLIZ profile with an installation width of 60 mm. The reviews praise the quality of the hinges and locks.
Disadvantages: price for a promoted brand.
1.VEKA
Offered for - 9700 rubles.
The best plastic windows according to user reviews. Advantages: German quality, attractive appearance (the profile can be laminated, that is, it is laminated with a colored film), good thermal insulation and sound insulation are also on top. A wide range of profile systems: from the budget three-chamber EUROLINE to the six-chamber ALPHALINE.
It is recommended not to settle for Turkish or Chinese fittings, German is best. Do not be too lazy to ask the installer about the thickness of the reinforcing profile (some save on it), it should be at least 1.2 mm.
Plastic windows have several key advantages. They are easy to care for, durable, aesthetic and help to better keep warm in winter without additional pasting with paper than wooden ones “suffer”. In addition, they do not rot and are famous for the best soundproofing qualities. You can sleep peacefully, even if the track lies right outside the window.
Replacing old windows with new ones is a time-consuming and difficult stage of repair. But if you make the right choice, you can enjoy warmth, good sound insulation, trouble-free fittings and other delights of a high-quality plastic profile with sealed double-glazed windows for 20 years. And for this you need to know which plastic windows are better, which profile and which double-glazed window to choose. We also became interested in this issue and decided to look into it. To do this, we collected analytics, studied the technical characteristics, looked at the certificates, read the reviews and made the conclusions that we outlined in this review. We offer our rating of the 10 best manufacturers of plastic windows.
10 best manufacturers of plastic windows. Opinion of independent experts
On the huge market of plastic windows, products of several dozen manufacturers are represented. In the face of fierce competition, each of them tries to stand out and offer the consumer quality products at affordable prices and attractive conditions (for example, free installation, warranty).

Best plastic windows 2018: profile quality rating
We studied the opinions of reputable experts, customer reviews, sales statistics and, based on these data, compiled a profile quality rating.

Profile for PVC windows: characteristics and types
A profile is a metal-reinforced plastic window frame into which a sealed window is inserted. The profile itself is not solid, but hollow inside. It consists of several isolated chambers filled with air. Why is such a design needed? The fact is that the chambers improve the thermal insulation properties. Therefore, manufacturers proudly demonstrate their window profile in section.
Profile uniformity
PVC is a thermoplastic that is produced by their mixtures of polyvinyl chloride with various modifiers, stabilizers, pigments, etc. If the manufacturer follows the technology and uses high-quality raw materials, then the profile surface is uniform and uniform, without streaks, inclusions, bumps or scratches.
Profile width
The minimum allowable mounting width of the profile is 50 mm, the standard width is 58 mm. Also on the market you can find a profile with a width of 70-90 mm. This is a more expensive multi-chamber profile designed for difficult climatic conditions and buildings that are located in very noisy areas, for example, on the territory of the enterprise.
Number of air chambers
The gold standard and quite a budget option is a three-chamber profile 58 mm thick. In a profile with a thickness of 70 mm, there are usually 3-5 chambers, in a 90 mm profile - 6 chambers. Does the quality of windows depend on the number of cameras? This is not the most important characteristic if you do not live in harsh northern conditions, where in winter the thermometer drops to the menacing -50 ° C mark.
Number of double-glazed windows
The number of double-glazed windows characterizes the thickness of the glass itself. The easiest and cheapest option is. This means that only 2 glasses are installed in such a frame, between which one is an air chamber. Such windows are suitable for a summer cottage or a balcony without insulation. In a double-glazed window there will be 3 glasses and with two cameras between them. This is quite enough for residential and office premises in central Russia. Windows with a 3-chamber double-glazed window are very heavy, and such a “pie” has no particular practical value. Therefore, they are not popular.
Profile class (thickness)
Class is a characteristic of the thickness of the profile, more precisely, of its plastic walls. The wall thickness can be determined by class as follows:
| Profile class | Wall thickness | Description |
|
| S outer ≥ 2.8 mm S int ≥ 2.5 mm | High-quality thick-walled profile, which is designed for installation in residential premises. |
||
| S outer ≥ 2.5 mm S int ≥ 2.0 mm | Object profile, from which they make cheap for non-residential premises. It has low rates of heat and sound insulation. |
||
| Any profile that does not meet class A and B standards A pro, not some do-it-yourselfer without experience and knowledge. Therefore, it is very important to contact a company that will bring, install windows and give a guarantee, and in the event of some force majeure, it will also fix the problem (or even replace the windows). CertificatesThere are many different domestic and international certificates of quality and conformity: GOST, SNiP, GOST R ISO, ISO, RAL, etc. It makes no sense to thoroughly understand the nuances of each. But the more certificates a manufacturer has, the better. For example, not all Russian manufacturers (including partners of European companies) have a RAL certificate. In the general plan, VEKA stands out favorably here - the company received it for factories located on the territory of Russia. If the profile is wider, is it more reliable and warmer?The mounting width of the profile is not the main criterion. We can talk about reliability and heat saving only if the profile belongs to class A, it has a sealed, soft and frost-resistant sealant in the windows, high-quality fittings. Therefore, in most of the territory of Russia, a profile with a thickness of 90 mm is, let's say, an exclusive pampering that will simply amuse the vanity of the maximalist owner. We recommend that you contact a representative of any of the manufacturers from our rating, consult and order services. You must select suitable plastic windows, install them and give a guarantee. And you can find such a representative on our Stroyportal website. Entrust the difficult task of the pros and rely on their experience. It will be really the most rational decision and a guarantee of quality. |
Each family tries to save on energy resources as much as possible by using efficient heat preservation technologies. After all, it is through the windows that the main heat leakage occurs. Plastic windows allow you to close the issue of heat loss once and for all, but before installing windows, you need to learn more about them. For this, we have compiled our national rating of PVC window profiles. Traditionally, German-made profiles are the most popular.
№1
Rehau is the leader of the national rating of window profiles at the beginning of 2016, both in Russia and in the post-Soviet countries. The main advantages of the profile of this manufacturer are the classic appearance, excellent sound insulation and a wide range of profile colors. Presented as budget PVC profiles, such as Rehau BLITZ-Design and BASIC-DESIGN, and there are also more expensive models for demanding customers: this is the THERMO-DESIGN and BRILLIANT-DESIGN profile line. The use of profiles of different types allows you to take into account all the possible requirements of the buyer to the material, color and shape of the profile from which the metal-plastic window is made.
№2
The second step of our rating of PVC profiles was also taken by the German manufacturer KBE. Its five-chamber profile is reinforced with steel reinforcement, the seal is available in white, gray and white. The profile can withstand a double-glazed window from 24 to 42 mm with a glass thickness of 6-8 mm, extra reinforcement is also used. Ideal for any space. A six-chamber profile perfectly saves heat, even in Siberian frosts. Optimal for use in the north of the country.
№3
Veka takes the 3rd place in the quality rating of window profiles. The profile of this brand has gained its popularity in Russia due to its special energy-saving characteristics. The profile is available in both matte and glossy. Another popular solution was the use of a five-chamber profile 4 anti-corrosion class. It is presented in a wide range of colors, a guarantee for 5 years.
№4
4th place went to Proplex. Thanks to the joint cooperation of Austrians and Russians, an affordable and high-quality profile has appeared on the market.

The products of leading companies are of excellent quality; only durable materials that meet all safety requirements are used in the manufacture of products. It is better to choose the most reliable manufacturer of window profiles, and then your home will always be warm, light and cozy.
In modern times, plastic window manufacturers regularly improve product quality by introducing new advanced technologies. But still, when buying, you should pay attention to some nuances:
- Appearance. The window is one of the primary attributes in the interior, even the highest quality window with an inappropriate design will look out of place in the interior of the room.
- Construction type. Windows are blind, tilt and turn. More convenient to use tilt-and-turn design.
- Number of leaves. The choice depends on the size of the window opening.
- Number of cameras. The most reliable protection against severe winter frosts is the three-chamber design of the window unit.
- Hardware quality. So that later the sashes do not warp, pay attention to the quality of the rotary mechanisms.
- Manufacturer. Give preference to proven, reliable brands.
- Window installer qualification. Even the most reliable and high-quality double-glazed windows can be damaged by improper installation. If the master treats his work negligently, in the winter months drafts can pass through the window, the sashes will warp, and moisture will appear due to insufficient tightness. To avoid this, trust the installation of windows only to trusted companies.
