*Overview of the best according to the editors of Healthy Food Near Me. About selection criteria. This material is subjective, is not an advertisement and does not serve as a guide to the purchase. Before buying, you need to consult with a specialist.

Sooner or later, when repairing a house, apartment or office, it becomes necessary to change windows. Most often, plastic structures are chosen due to their longer service life. To figure out which manufacturer of plastic windows is better, we have prepared a list of companies with many positive reviews. The review contains popular product characteristics, as well as pros and cons, which will simplify your choice.

How to choose plastic windows

But first you need to figure out what to look for before buying. When choosing plastic windows, pay attention to the following parameters:

1. The number of glasses in the package. In a double-glazed window there can be from 2 to 4 glasses, which forms one, two or three chambers. It is on this amount that the insulating ability of the transparent part of the structure depends on the external temperature and noise.

2. The section of the glass itself. The thickness of the glass is from 3 to 5 mm. This indicator affects the strength of the material upon impact or hit by a stone.

3. Filling a double-glazed window. Inside the chamber can be ordinary air or pure argon. The latter option increases thermal insulation.

4. Number of cameras in a profile. In a plastic profile reinforced with metal U-shaped inserts, there can be from 3 to 8 chambers. The more partitions inside, the more difficult it is for cold or heat to pass through such an obstacle.

5. Profile system width. Based on the above parameter, the width of the profile system is formed, which can be from 58 to 100 mm. The thicker the frame, the higher the thermal insulation.

6. opening type. If the window is not “blind”, then there are several ways to open it: hinged, hinged, swivel horizontally or vertically, hanging, folding, sliding. This affects the usability and occupied space.

7. Opening mold. Metal-plastic windows are square, rectangular, arched, triangular and round. The shape of the opening can be expanded or narrowed for a specific product. The various frame shapes affect the overall design of the façade.

Table of advantages and disadvantages of plastic and wooden windows

Before considering the list of leading manufacturers, let’s do a little comparison to understand which is better – plastic or wooden windows. Here are the main advantages and disadvantages of each product type.

The best manufacturers of plastic windows in terms of price-quality ratio

When choosing metal-plastic windows, you want to purchase a quality product that will justify the money spent. The best manufacturers with good value for money are presented in this category.

REHAU

Rating: 5.0

In the first place is Rehau, founded in 1948, almost immediately after the First World War. The headquarters is located in Muri, Switzerland. Products found on sale with the inscriptions Made in France and Made in Germany are not fake, but products of subsidiaries in France and Germany. The company produces economical three-chamber profile options and warmer 5- and 6-chamber systems with a thickness of up to 86 mm. The owners of Rehau plastic windows like the long service life of fittings. It does not require repair for 10 years. This is due to the use of quality products from another global manufacturer MACO, which has developed fittings that can withstand up to 40000 opening cycles.

Our experts consider this manufacturer to be the best, since the company has invented a unique plastic formula, thanks to which the profile does not turn yellow in the sun. Products of competitors burn out and lose their attractiveness, and these windows will remain white, provided they are washed once every half a year. Another special composition of PVC does not crack in the cold, so residents of the northern regions should pay attention to Rehau products.

KBE

Rating: 4.9

This manufacturer appeared in Berlin in 1980 and specialized in the production of building plastics. After the invention of PVC windows, the company began active production of such products. Now the concern is one of the five most popular firms in this industry in Europe. The company’s factories are located not only in Germany, but also in Russia. The metal-plastic profile is made on extrusion lines using a patented technology, therefore it exactly complies with German requirements in composition and properties. The most common window option on sale is KBE70, which is used in most apartments and private houses.

The owners of these plastic windows note in the reviews increased heat and noise insulation, as well as a reduction in heating costs. In general, 84% of reviews on the Internet about this company are positive (namely, about the profile of windows and glasses). The quality of installation is different everywhere, as it depends on local installers. We also consider the products of the KBE manufacturer to be the best in terms of tightness and recommend that those who live in an area where bonfires are often scorched take a closer look. Acrid smoke will not enter your home.

CENTURY

Rating: 4.8

Concern Veka AG is a world leader in the development of window systems from metal-plastic profiles. The German manufacturer has existed since 1969. This is the first extrusion company among those that have opened their enterprises in Russia. Frames are manufactured using German technology and European equipment. The release of plastic doors and windows closer to the consumer allowed to slightly reduce the cost, although for many it still remains high. In reviews, buyers praise the company’s products for energy efficiency, aesthetic appearance and ease of maintenance. These windows are easy to clean, which helps maintain their natural color.

Our experts consider the manufacturer to be the best due to the wide variety of windows for cottages. The company offers non-standard forms for arched or panoramic openings. The windows themselves may contain additional narrow inserts imitating stained-glass windows. It looks very elegant and noble.

LABRADOR

Rating: 4.7

This plant is located in St. Petersburg and has been operating since 2001. The company has the rights to produce plastic windows from the German Veka profile. The manufacturer is engaged in the manufacture of PVC products and sales directly to the final consumer. The company does not have intermediaries, due to which the cost of goods increases. The company maintains 21 sales offices in its city, where everyone can order even just one window. The manufacturer also has its own installation team of 70 craftsmen. This helps to fulfill all orders on time. The catalog contains plastic products in white and brown wood-like colors.

We consider the manufacturer to be the best, since he is one of the few who uses seamless technology for the manufacture of plastic windows. For this, a new assembly line was used, in which the corners of the plastic frame are butt-welded. This eliminates the need for subsequent milling, and most importantly, there is no deep furrow in the corners that accumulates dust on the product. In the reviews, the owners share that it is much easier to keep such a surface clean.

PROPLEX

Rating: 4.6

Further in the review, the Proplex company, which has been operating since 2000. The manufacturer’s plant is located in Podolsk. The line for the production of plastic windows was assembled by the Austrians, and the manufacturing process itself is also carried out according to Austrian technology. The PVC and chamber configuration were designed specifically for the Russian climate. Most of all, the company specializes in the production of economy options with a thickness of 58-60 mm. Such plastic products contain three chambers per profile. This product is optimal for warm regions of Russia. For cold terrain, it is better to choose frames with 4-5 chambers. On the profile itself, the company gives a guarantee of 60 years, which buyers like in the reviews.

This manufacturer is recognized by us as the best due to the demand for its products among consumers. Proplex plastic windows are installed not only in apartments and houses – they are in the Tretyakov Gallery, in the Taganka Theater and along Petrovka Street 38 (Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia). The fact that the manufacturer’s products are installed on a large scale in administrative and commercial buildings inspires confidence among buyers.

TROCAL

Rating: 4.5

The brand was founded in 1954 and started mass production of plastic windows. Due to the long specialization in a narrow industry, this company owns several key developments in window systems, which were then adopted by other manufacturers. In Russia, windows from the plastic profile of this company were installed in the Rossiya Hotel in Moscow. The company was one of the first to master the use of rigid PVC for the manufacture of multi-chamber systems. Some consumers in the reviews like that the company uses a white rubber seal. This blends in better with the shade of the plastic sash and is less noticeable from a distance.

We considered the manufacturer worthy of a place in our review due to the release of a profile system with an optimal thickness of 76 mm, which has a heat transfer resistance of 0.93 m² * C / W. This is achieved through the use of 5 chambers in the frame and triple glazing with a total cross section of 48 mm. Competitor products can offer windows with a thickness of 80-100 mm to provide such insulation. Using Trocal products, it will be possible to reduce the load on the foundation (important for light buildings, balconies, attics) and allocate enough space for the window sill (flower lovers will appreciate it).

RUSSIAN WINDOWS

Rating: 4.4

The Russian Windows company has existed since 1996. The main office is located in Bryansk, but delivery and installation are carried out throughout Central Russia. The manufacturer is only engaged in the creation (welding and assembly) of windows for specific sizes. The company does not manufacture the profile itself, but uses products from Rehau. The manufacture of windows and doors is also carried out according to Swiss technology, so the quality of the goods is quite high. The company’s catalog offers plastic windows of triangular, trapezoidal, arched and round shapes. There are all opening options. The manufacturer produces both snow-white frames and laminated in various shades. Multi-chamber profile can be with a thickness of 60 to 80 mm. Judging by the reviews, buyers are satisfied with the steel reinforcement, which provides increased frame strength.

We consider the manufacturer to be the best due to the production of metal-plastic windows with hidden hinges. Canopies are located inside the frame and are not visible from the premises or from the street. First of all, it looks very nice. Secondly, such windows are easier to care for and wipe. The third advantage is that the loop does not wrap the seal at the junction, which increases the thermal insulation of the plastic structure.

FACTORY OF BREATHING WINDOWS

Rating: 4.3

This company is the largest manufacturer of PVC windows in the South of Russia. The company was founded in 2006. Its origins are people who have been involved in the window industry for 9 years and are well versed in the details. The manufacturer actively introduces European technologies, adapting products to the local climate. Components for manufacturing are ordered from Germany. As the name implies, the company specializes in the production of windows with special channels for “breathing” so that the effect of “vacuum” is not created in the room. But drafts are not felt.

This is one of the few manufacturing companies that is ready to fulfill a non-standard order and provide plastic windows with stained-glass windows. Instead of a transparent double-glazed window, colored glass with a pattern is placed in it. This is an interesting option for installation in public places (changing rooms, showers) or specialized institutions (laboratories, massage rooms, etc.) where external light is required, but you need to hide what is happening behind the doors from prying eyes

RUSOKON

Rating: 4.2

The manufacturer appeared in 2003 and specializes in the manufacture of plastic and wooden windows. The company works with Veka metal profiles. The thickness of the proposed double-glazed windows varies from 33 to 40 mm. The color of the frame can be white, gray, golden, steel or wenge. The manufacturer’s products are conveniently divided in the catalog into categories of the place of operation. For example, there are windows to the kitchen equipped with an additional work surface and heat-resistant window sills. Judging by the reviews, double-glazed windows in the windows of this company have an anti-resonant effect. If the street is noisy, then each layer of glazing dampens incoming sounds, and does not reflect them from its surface.

This manufacturer is the best in terms of the price of the product and its quality. Judge for yourself: the company offers a five-chamber profile with a frame section of 72 mm, which is equipped with energy-saving i-glass and an enlarged hardware package. All this is included in the basic package and costs like a standard window.

The best manufacturers of plastic windows in the premium segment

If you want the best windows in terms of quality and design, then pay attention to the products of manufacturers from the premium segment of the market. Of course, you will have to pay a high price for their goods, but the result will exceed your expectations.

MONTBLANC

Rating: 5.0

The Montblanc brand is owned by the Austrian manufacturer A+G Extrusion Technology GmbH. In Russia, in the Moscow region, there is one of the branches of the plant, opened in 2001. PVC products are produced using European equipment and imported technologies, therefore they comply with world quality certificates. The company actively goes towards customers and manufactures windows according to individual sizes. The design uses modern geometry with smooth curved edges of the glazing beads so that the windows do not look clumsy and angular. The owners speak positively about German fittings Sigenia, energy-efficient Solar glass that does not transmit heat and ultraviolet radiation, as well as a durable five-chamber plastic frame.

We considered the company to be the best due to the large selection of additional profiles. The manufacturer has expanders, stand bars, static amplifiers of a universal type. All this will help to create a beautiful design of the opening with non-standard sizes. If you have a house with a special design, then plastic windows should be ordered here.

Salamander

Rating: 4.9

The window manufacturer “Salamander” began to deal with metal-plastic products since 1964. The German concern now has 10 European divisions and cooperates with 1500 partners around the world. The company employs 1300 professionals who work daily to produce high-quality PVC products. The nearest factories to Russia are located in Wloclawek (Poland) and Brest (Belarus). The logistics center “Salamander International Profile” operates in Vladimir, from where windows are delivered to other cities. Buyers in reviews praise products for high-quality plastic that does not fade in the sun.

We included the manufacturer in the review because they have beautiful white gloss windows. Such a coating looks special and beneficial for owners of private houses and residents of the lower floors with its attractiveness. Increased gloss not only creates an interesting design, but also effectively reflects the sun’s rays.

DECEUNINCK

Rating: 4.8

The manufacturer has been operating since 1937 and is one of the top three companies manufacturing building materials. Deceuninck specializes in the production of PVC windows of the premium segment. Their products are characterized by maximum insulation from cold and external noise. The manufacturer has developed the Eforte profile, which, with a thickness of 84 mm, already contains 6 air chambers and a double-glazed window with a total cross section of 56 mm. The owners in the reviews report that due to the width of the rebate of 9 mm and the triple sealing circuit, the room is much quieter when compared with windows from other manufacturers.

We consider the manufacturer to be the best in terms of dealing with condensation on windows. When heated air collides with cooled glass, it inevitably condenses and drops of moisture appear on the surface of the window. Deceuninck has developed an additional seal extruded to the frame under the double glazing. Due to this, the chamber is divided into two compartments, blocking the heat flow. The internal glass in the room always remains warm, no matter what the temperature outside.

FLOOR

Rating: 4.7

In fourth place is the manufacturer Plafen. The company has existed since 1992 and is the largest manufacturer of PVC products in the country. The company does not purchase the profile of other brands, but manufactures it on its own line. In the catalog, you can choose window frames from five system options. All production equipment is European. One plant is located in Dzerzhinsky (Moscow region), and the second in Ryazan. There are 17 branches in Russia, from Krasnodar to Omsk and from St. Petersburg to Tyumen, where it is convenient to see samples and place an order.

This is the best manufacturer in terms of manufacturing windows, which are suitable for products from other companies. For example, you can attach extensions from Rehau to the frame, strikers are suitable from Veka, etc. If you cannot purchase everything you need in one place (out of stock, the purchase is being made now, but installation is planned in half a year) , then choose the Plafen windows, and you can pick up everything else in any office. The masters on the forums confirm this information in the reviews, since they have repeatedly performed such combination processes.

WDS (WINDOW DOOR SYSTEMS)

Rating: 4.6

The WDS brand belongs to the Ukrainian company Miroplast. The company has been manufacturing metal-plastic doors and windows for 12 years. Today, the manufacturer’s products are sold in 15 countries in Europe and Asia, including Portugal, Germany, South Korea and Spain. The company specializes in the production of only high-quality profile systems, where there are four options with 5-8 cameras. In total, the enterprise has 29 extrusion lines, which produce 4500 tons of PVC every month. Buyers like high quality control in the reviews, where an accredited laboratory from UkrSEPRO conducts up to 10 types of tests daily. Structural testing lasts 3 hours.

According to the editors of the magazine, this manufacturer is the best in terms of providing an assortment of lamination colors. If competitors are ready to offer 5-7 shades, then there is a choice of 37 options. This range allows you to choose the color of the windows for any exterior and diversify the design of the facade.

KALEVA

Rating: 4.5

The firm “Kaleva” was founded in 1994 and at first only sold windows of other brands. Since 1997, she has become a manufacturer, releasing her first product, but the profile was imported. In 2008, the company switched to in-house production by installing an extrusion line. The company’s achievements are the noise-protective triplex and the Vario model with artistic relief. The owners in the reviews like the strength of the metal-plastic window frame, which retains its shape despite the load. Even if the house shrinks slightly, the window sashes continue to open and everything is done with a simple adjustment without the need to replace the product.

This is another full-cycle company that produces the profile itself, makes windows from it and installs it. After installation, the company provides warranty service, which includes adjusting the sashes in height and closing density. When the warranty expires, the manufacturer is ready to carry out repairs and post-warranty service. All this helps to resolve emerging issues in one place with craftsmen who know these products well (features of accessories, designs, etc.), for which the company was recognized as the best.

PANORAMA

Rating: 4.4

This company has been operating since 1995 and today is the largest plant in the North-West of Russia. Sales of manufactured products fall on St. Petersburg and other cities nearby. Among the range of goods there are plastic structures for loggias and balconies, gates, interior doors and, of course, windows. The company is engaged in the production and maintenance of installed products, where the guarantee for fittings lasts 5 years. It is convenient to contact the manufacturer thanks to the active use of instant messengers (Viber, WhatsApp, Telegram).

According to our experts, the manufacturer is the best due to the release of energy-saving double-glazed windows DS Next. An innovation in this design is the distance frame. For most competitors, it consists of 4 parts, but here it is one-piece. Such an invention is patented and certified for use even in arctic conditions. Another feature of double-glazed windows is Lifeglass Plus glass. It has a double layer of silver sputtering applied using vacuum magnetron technology. In the reviews, buyers are satisfied with a large selection of colors for such glasses, where there are options: Blue Sapphire, Royal Aquamarine, Red Gold, White Platinum.

JUICE

Rating: 4.3

The abbreviation “SOK” means “Samara window structures”, which have been on the construction market for 20 years. The main office is located in this city on Gagarina street 84a. The company carries out the production of plastic windows, their delivery on special vehicles with pyramidal installations, installation and subsequent maintenance for 5 years. Production is carried out at two enterprises with fully automated lines. Glass for glazing is imported from the UK from the Pilkington brand. Judging by the reviews, the owners of these windows like high-quality fittings, which can be from Winkhaus, Roto NT or Siegenia-Aubi.

The manufacturer is notable not only for the manufacture of high-quality window products, but also for the provision of a full range of related products. Here you can buy blinds of various colors and textures, roller blinds, window sills made of wood and plastic. This allows not only to replace windows, but also to completely ennoble the opening.

KRAUS

Rating: 4.2

Our review is completed by the Astek-MT company, which owns the rights to the Krauss trademark. The brand appeared in 2006 when the company decided to produce plastic windows. Production is organized on the Austrian equipment Technoplast. Krauss is a completely domestic product, but it is structurally similar to the German KBE profile. It is convenient for customers to choose windows for an apartment or office according to the catalog, which presents various systems with codes from WIN-60 to WIN-80. The number in the index indicates the thickness of the profile. In most reviews, the company is praised for reliable soundproofing of window systems.

Our experts considered the manufacturer to be the best in the field of reinforcement quality. Iron inserts in the entire product line are made of alloy steel. Stainless steel serves up to 40-50 years, is not subject to corrosion and retains an attractive appearance. This ensures proper frame strength.
