One of the main components of a double-glazed window is uPVC profile. There are different types of profile, among the most important of which, we can mention the opening profile, auxiliary profiles, fastening profile, and window frame profile. This profile is calculated in meters and affects the final price of the window according to the place where the window is designed.
Glass One of the main components of upvc double glazed window
We all know that the most important components of double-glazed windows are its glass. It is very important that the glass used in different types of double-glazed windows is flute type. These types of glasses usually do not have any waves and unevenness, as well as additional space for air penetration, and their quality is favorable. Considering the quality of double-glazed window glass is very effective in the final result of the used window. Because it plays a very important role in preserving energy and preventing noise pollution. It is also very important to pay attention to the thickness of the glass. The glasses should have a high thickness so that they can withstand damage, impact or damage and not break easily, and also not easily transmit noise pollution to the target environment. Usually, the glass used on double-glazed windows has a thickness of about 4 to 6 mm. Also, it is necessary to have a thickness of about 8 mm between two glasses so that they can function as heat insulation and sound insulation in the best way.
Profiles are open or closed sections that have different types based on application, type, weight, etc. One type of profile is called UPVC or unplasticized ploy vinyl chloride. This type of profile is one of the most used sections in the construction of double-glazed windows. UPVC is actually the same PVC that does not use plasticizers or lubricants in its structure. When plasticizers are used in the chemical structure of a material, that material becomes flexible and soft, which also has little resistance to heat. UPVC profiles, due to not using these materials in their structure, are hard and have high resistance to heat.
UPVC Profile Applications:
UPVC profile, which is also called hard PVC or plastic-free, is a type of non-metallic section that requires little maintenance. This product is considered as a suitable alternative for construction wood. UPVC can be used to frame double-glazed windows in new buildings or to replace old single-glazed windows. This profile is also used for different types of drainage. The use of this type of profile is not only limited to making double-glazed windows. Roof edges, which are also known as roofline or fascia, are made using this profile. UPVC pipes are a very suitable alternative to steel or cast iron pipes in water transmission lines. Also, since this profile has a high resistance to chemicals, it is also used for sewer pipes, liquid drains and gutters.
