Modern wooden windows
The leading players of the big league of window business are plastic and wooden products. According to the aspects and canons of business, the driving force behind the progress of modern windows technology are their consumer qualities.
At the same time, it is not necessary to be or become an advanced businessman who possesses information about manufacturing techniques and successful transactions for the sale of products. It is enough to study carefully the market priorities of the products of this segment.
Naturally, based on the numerous marketing research conducted, each product has advantages and disadvantages.
Plastic or wooden windows, comparative analysis, advantages and disadvantages
In order to generate a certain conclusion regarding the positive and negative qualities of the windows, while provoking genuine interest, we will conduct a small marketing study. First, let's find out which elements are similar to windows. Let's say that these are attributes that do not depend on the type and material of the windows. This is a double-glazed window and accessories.
double glazing and fittings
It is known that regardless of the material of production (PVC or Eurowindows wooden), the main invariable attribute of the window is the glass unit. The double-glazed windows are a high-tech construction made of several glasses connected along the perimeter by a sealed frame and rubber seals.
In modern wooden windows, as well as in plastic windows, the number of glasses can be from 2 to 5. The glass packet can be 20, 24, 32 and 42 mm thick.
Window fittings do not depend on the "type" of windows. Therefore, the accessories Aubi, Roto, Siegenia, Maco and Winkhaus are equally convenient and with the desire to use and use in the construction of wooden blocks and PVC windows.
window profile
The basis of the plastic window profile is the frame profile, the profile is curved, the beak and the impost. Each company represents its own competitive profile of plastic windows - Aluplast, Artec, Brugmann, Gealan, KBE, Plustek, REHAU, Veka. The cost of plastic windows from the manufacturer ranges from $ 100 to $ 300.
The profile of the wooden windows is purely conditionally divided into the Finnish window and the eurowindows. Find the difference with the move is unlikely to work.
Thus, it can be concluded that in the production of wooden or plastic windows use identical double-glazed windows and fittings.
If you naively think that this makes it easier to analyze the merits and demerits, you are mistaken, because the distinctive qualities provided by the window manufacturers are:
- heat protection
- soundproofing
- air permeability.
We will not hide that the fundamental criterion for choosing windows is their cost and naturalness (unnaturalness) of the material of manufacture.

advantages and disadvantages of windows of plastic
The most clickable advantage of plastic windows is low cost, which allows quickly and easily to replace old windows with new designs. The effectiveness of the activities is obvious. In addition, the plastic window is almost ready for use after a qualified installation, ensuring a good seal.
Among the shortcomings were named material of artificial origin and short service life. In most cases, plastic windows meet the needs of consumers, as long as the eyes do not fall into the wooden windows with double-glazed windows.
The once seen attractive windows made of wood with a double-glazed window cause respect and some envy. A natural desire is the need to buy a wooden window, despite the advantages and disadvantages of the latter.
advantages and disadvantages of wooden windows
The main advantage of wooden windows with double-glazed windows is excellent thermal insulation, decorativeness and the ability to carry out repairs, instead of replacing the attributes.
It would seem that the wooden windows with their ecological compatibility and durability do not have any shortcomings. However, the main disadvantage is the high cost of wooden windows and the possibility of burning, despite the processing of wood with special impregnations.
We add that in connection with the high cost of windows, the program of promoting wooden window blocks in the market of window technologies, unfortunately, is ineffective and poorly worked out.
Probably, this is due to a limited flow of information about window blocks of wood, the technology of production is designed for the elite segment of the consumer. In order to draw people to the wooden euro windows with a double-glazed window, we will tell in detail about wooden window blocks.
Window blocks wooden, how to produce
For the production of window products made of wood (frames and doors), use is made of glued pine-wood with a lamination of not more than 3. Moreover, the quality of the sawn timber depends on the quality of the finished product.
For example, for a simple window unit, use an extended pine beam with tangential wood with knots and minor defects. This class of window blocks of wood is designed for developers of private houses in the country construction.
In the production of high-quality eurowindows, a multi-layer glued beam of Class A and B is used with radial saw wood that does not contain a knot and visible defects on the finished product.
For the production of eurowindows of extra quality, select a non-redecorated pine bar of class A-E.
Manufacturing of windows from wood in an industrial way
Manufacture of wooden windows with a double-glazed window is carried out on industrial complexes equipped with high-precision woodworking equipment of leading firms ALTENDORF, WAGNER and WEINIG. The material for eurobrus are: pine, ash, oak and valuable mahogany.
The stages of manufacturing of wooden windows are:
- manufacturing of a bar of horizontal and vertical parts of a frame with the subsequent gluing in the general profile
- installation of remote bearing linings and rebate equalizer
- cutting glass or using a prefabricated glass unit
- assembly of a structure with fixation of a double-glazed window with a bezel
- grinding, priming and applying paint and varnish
- fastening of accessories
- drying of the finished product.
To get into the big league of the window industry, you will have to pay a substantial sum for the purchase of euro windows of the highest quality or make a window with your own hands.
Manufacturing of wooden frames and shutters by hand
The manufacture of a frame and doors for eurowindows is impossible without the use of a special tool and a cutting tool. For the production of individual parts of the wooden frame (a vertical impost and a horizontal vestibule) a set of special milling cutters is used.
To create opening and closing flaps, you need to create a stud joint for 2-3 spikes.
The frame elements are made of wood using a two-component adhesive.

glazing formula and installation of double-glazed windows
High quality euro windows of high quality EURO 68, 78 and 88 are supplemented with double-glazed windows with ordinary glasses, also used in PVC windows with a thickness of 4 to 6 mm or with anti-shock protective tinted glass.
In the window units with double-glazed windows up to 28 mm thick, one- and two-chamber packages are installed, corresponding to the formulas:
4-20-4, — 4-8-4-8-4.
Depending on the overall dimensions of the window unit of the double-glazed window, the manufacturer uses different distance frames and takes into account the thickness of the glasses.
For a single-chamber double-glazed window from 2 glass 6 mm thick, the glazing formula will correspond to: 6-20-6.
How to install a double-glazed window into a finished frame with doors is presented in the video.
