Rapid development technological processes profile manufacturing and fierce competition make choosing the best profiles difficult. Rating profiles of plastic windows in 2016 consists of sets of characteristics and implementation is fundamentally distinctive properties. In this regard, the arrangement of leaders is presented as follows:
1.Rehau
German profile for PVC windows, which has gained popularity and trust. The high quality of the Rehau profile has been proven by repeated tests in various climatic conditions, even the most extreme. In addition, the Rehau profile has the lowest rate of complaints from manufacturing plants of metal-plastic structures. It has low thermal conductivity and unique durability.
The company monitors innovations in the window market and introduces features into its products such as climate control devices and unique closing methods that prevent entry into the room from the outside through windows.
Since its appearance in Ukraine, the profile has earned recognition. Exquisite white profile is not prone to fading and deformation.

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 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 middle lane— It’s doubtful, they might freeze in the north. Usually 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)– 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
Tied for last place in terms of quantity positive feedback 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. With others profile systems I didn’t work, so I can’t say anything about them.

Which plastic window profile is better to choose? Selection tips and manufacturer ratings
Profile – 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 one 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- Class C profiles - all others that do not meet standards A and B, there are no strict requirements for them.
Pay attention!
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 product, they 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 classic version, preferred 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 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.
A single-chamber double-glazed window is the lightest; it consists 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. With more high temperatures There is almost no difference between two- and three-chamber double-glazed windows.
Useful 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 profile configuration - 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 under the influence of 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 the widest range 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 the same 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 different 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 Russian company, which, 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 quality and durability metal-plastic window is a 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 in different factories, will not always have this certificate.
The ISO 9001:2000 quality management system certificate is issued to production facilities that have competent organized system management in compliance with all technological, economic and organizational requirements specific to production 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 are they really useful?
The most common offers on the market are:
- classic profile 58 mm;
- 70 mm profile with increased installation width;
- 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.
Pay attention!
The choice of profile width largely depends on the installation location (office window, vestibule door, front door to a store, windows in a country house) and climate.
Now another new product has appeared on the market - the SOFTLINE 82 profile. 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 draining condensate, the second is for placing a reinforcing metal liner, and the third is for securing parts of the fittings and creating additional air gap for better window sealing. 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.
Complete package
Another important point- 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 design. 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 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.
Useful 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 from an “object” profile can be offered by absolutely all manufacturers as an economical option, but you must remember that such a window may have weaker corner connections, worse dimensional stability, lower energy-saving characteristics, risk of premature wear of fittings, shorter service life.
Conclusions
To summarize the discussion on the topic of choosing a profile for a metal-plastic window, we emphasize:
- The presence of certificates confirms quality.
- According to the installation width, all profiles are divided into two main classes: 58, 64 mm and 70 -76 mm. Within the class, the thermal characteristics are the same. The 68 mm wide profile and the 72 mm wide profile do not differ from each other.
- The number of cameras affects the quality of the window only if the profile belongs to different width classes.
- The most common is double glazing.
- Class A profile is a leader in reliability and quality.
When choosing windows, be able to hear the necessary information and filter out advertising. The quality of your windows depends on your choice. Take your time to make the right choice!
