Comparative characteristics of REHAU and Brusbox window profiles

Brusbox profile

The construction market first learned about the Russian manufacturer Brusbox in 2004, when it launched its own window series called “Brusbox-60”. As it turned out, in terms of functionality and durability, domestic products are able to compete with Western brands.

Today, on the territory of the Bryansk enterprise for the production of PVC systems there are 28 innovative co-extrusion lines and the best German equipment. To produce plastic, the company's specialists use high-quality modifiers and stabilizers coming from Germany and France. Brusbox has long taken its rightful place among window production companies, won the trust of users and has found application in the assembly of window frames and window sills. There are three types of design: three-chamber, four-chamber and six-chamber profiles.

The main advantages of the Brusbox profile:

• Withstands severe cold and gusty winds, does not allow moisture and dust to pass through.
• It is characterized by reliable adhesion of films to the plastic base.
• Shows excellent protective properties against penetration.
• The profile has a Eurogroove, thanks to which accessories from third-party manufacturers can be installed without problems.
• Belongs to the class of budget models.
• The doors slide out easily.
• Aesthetic appearance.

The factory color of the frame is white, but it is possible to order decorative pasting and repaint the plastic. There is a line of five series on sale, and since 2016, sliding models have also appeared.

Rehau profile

The German company, created more than half a century ago, has long won recognition among consumers from different countries. Thanks to the use of advanced technology, attractive designs and convenient configurations, their products are popular in the industrial and construction industries. The concern's developers regularly improve technology, environmental performance and energy saving levels.

Rehau produces a wide range of profile units with widths ranging from 60 to 70 mm, which are divided into multi-chamber and high-tech products made from fiber fibre. The manufacturer provides a guarantee on them and assures that the profile will last at least 60 years. Frames can be laminated and used to make windows of non-standard shapes.

The benefits of the profile include:

• High noise insulation up to class IV, preventing sounds from the street from entering the room.
• Burglar protection thanks to the installation of special fittings.
• Thermal stability due to the multi-chamber system.
• The smooth surface of the frame is easy to clean from dust and other contaminants.
• Impact-resistant glass and durable seal.
• Long service life.

At the customer's request, we produce models with standard or tinted glass, change the color of the plastic, or laminate them to look like wood. According to reviews from most consumers, Rehau windows demonstrate excellent reliability when used in difficult climatic zones. Increased thermal insulation protects against low temperatures and maintains comfortable living conditions.

Common advantages of both systems

Comparing Brusbox and Rehau with a standard installation depth of 70 mm, we see that these types have a number of identical positive properties, namely:

• convenient operation;
• heat retention;
• modern design and variety of colors, lamination function;
• high technology;
• resistance to moisture and ultraviolet radiation;
• ease of use and maintenance.

The profiles under consideration are examples of the optimal balance between functionality and cost, which is confirmed by a huge number of grateful reviews and constant demand.

Key differences between the Rehau and Brusbox systems

Brusbox brand products are inferior in price to their competitor. They are considered more affordable and belong to the economy class group, although they are manufactured in Russia using imported equipment from high-quality material. The manufacturing technology at Rehau factories is almost identical, but the price equivalent of the profile increases by almost 20% due to the added cost of customs duties and fees. Both designs are suitable for glazing houses and apartments in various regions of Russia, where difficult weather conditions and frosty winters are observed. However, Brusbox windows are inferior to competitors in terms of heat transfer. The German analogue is considered to be an order of magnitude more ergonomic. If we take into account customer reviews, Rehau windows receive fewer complaints in terms of defects or poor quality deliveries. The seal and the thickness of the outer walls of the plastic provide waterproofing and noise protection.

How to choose between Brusbox and Rehau?

The choice in favor of one or another window model should be made based on the technical indicators.

• Strength class. The first place belongs to class “A” frames with 3 mm plastic walls. Models of class “B” are produced a little thinner. Both German and Russian manufacturers have developed a line of expensive A-class options and budget B-class series.
• Number of cameras. Brusbox models have 3 types of profiles, while Rehau boast a wide variety of assortments.
• Energy saving factor. The thermal protection index of Bryansk windows is 0.76, while that of similar German PVC systems is 0.64, but frames from the Rehau Geneo line come with a coefficient of 1.05.
• Sealing properties. Both companies use a two-leaf seal, which reliably protects against drafts. Recently, the German brand Geneo has developed a new three-lobe seal for the Geneo profile.
• Installation depth. Rehau has moved far ahead in this regard and offers frames of 86 and 80 mm (Geneo and Intelio), while the domestic manufacturer has so far limited itself to only a 70 mm profile.
• Double-glazed window. The maximum thickness of Brusbox glass is 40 mm, and that of Rehau double glazing is 52 mm.
• The long service life, durability and convenient operation of Brusbox and Rehau window designs propel them to the forefront and place them on a par with global brands in the construction industry.

General product reviews from professionals

Experts quite often recommend the Brusbox PVC profile, reviews of which you can read in the article, for the reason that its fittings can be combined with fittings from any manufacturer. This feature can be called a great advantage, because the consumer does not have to limit himself when choosing locking elements, as well as handles. Their appearance may be unique.

Many professionals consider noiselessness and thermal insulation to be the main advantages. It is impossible not to mention the affordable price, because the products are produced in Russia. If the family is disadvantaged financially, then it is worth choosing the Brusbox profile, because it can be installed not only on windows, but also on a balcony, loggia and terrace.

According to experts, they were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the windows when they were tested at low temperatures. The structures ensure tightness and do not allow drafts to pass through. In conjunction with this profile, you can use a mosquito net; no additional money is required for this, because the components are supplied included.

(expert opinion)

We go outside or take a newspaper and what we see are windows KBE, REHAU, VEKA, SALAMAHDER, LG, GRUNDER, 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 the 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).

It is important!

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 the middle zone it is doubtful, in the north it can freeze. Typically, 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.

Profile Brusbox ACLASS (Brusbox A-class)

The installation depth of the 3-chamber system with two sealing circuits is 60 mm. This series replaced the previously popular “BRUSBOX 60-3” profiles, which had become obsolete after almost 15 years of production. The new system has front walls with a thickness increased to 3 mm, and therefore belongs to class “A”. The location of the fitting groove allows ACLASS windows to be equipped with anti-burglary locking mechanisms. Despite 3 chambers and a relatively small installation depth, structures made from these profiles retain heat quite well. Gentle bevels on profiles and glazing beads effectively drain water from double-glazed windows and add individuality to the design of windows assembled from Brusbox ACLASS profile systems.

Energy efficiency

The thermal protection coefficient of Brusbox windows is 0.76.

Similar REHAU solutions show no higher than 0.64.

However, the German manufacturer’s line includes REHAU Geneo. The coefficient of this profile is 1.05.

Brusbox is trying not to lag far behind its competitor - its line already includes a 6-chamber profile Brusbox 70-6. Unfortunately, the manufacturer has not yet provided the exact coefficient. However, it can be assumed that 6 chambers provide better thermal protection than four.

Comparison with other brands

Window profiles from the Russian brand BRUSBOX are very often compared with the products of others, including foreign companies, most often with the products of REHAU. In this article we will try to figure out which window profiles are better. To do this, it is worth analyzing several key factors.

Class

The most popular are classes “A” and “B”. Products that belong to these categories have a wall thickness of 3 mm (class “B”) or more than 3 mm (class “A”). Both the BRUSBOX line and the REHAU line have class “A” and “B” profiles.

Number of cameras

In terms of this parameter, REHAU stands out favorably. This is due to the fact that the BRUSBOX range includes only 3 types of profiles; REHAU has many more.

Energy efficiency

If you are guided by the thermal protection indicator when choosing a window profile (for example, this is relevant for residents of northern regions), then you should give preference to the BRUSBOX company. Standard profile models from this brand have a thermal protection index of 0.76, and the same models from REHAU are characterized by a coefficient of 0.64.

Seals

Both BRUSBOX and REHAU use double-circuit materials as a seal. In this case, REHAU uses its unique material RAUCELL.

Reinforcement, glazing beads, expanders and connectors

In this respect, BRUSBOX and REHAU are at approximately the same level. For example, brands use U-shaped reinforcement made of anti-corrosion metal.

Width

Profiles from REHAU have a larger width - up to 86 mm, and the maximum width of profiles from BRUSBOX is 70 mm.

Thickness

In this regard, the REHAU brand will again be a better option. Thus, the profile thickness of this brand is 52 mm, while the profile from BRUSBOX is never thicker than 40 mm.

Thus, we can conclude that different brands are leading in different positions. Some users prefer German quality REHAU, while others support the domestic manufacturer BRUSBOX. One way or another, the final choice remains with the buyer.

Common advantages of the two systems

Comparing Brusbox and Rehau with a standard installation depth of 70 mm, it is obvious that these types have a number of identical positive properties, namely:

• Convenient operation.
• Heat retention.
• Modern design, variety of colors, lamination function.
• High-tech.
• Resistance to moisture and ultraviolet radiation.
• Easy to use and maintain.

The profiles under consideration are examples of the optimal balance between functionality and cost, which is confirmed by a huge number of grateful reviews and constant demand.

Reviews about the six-chamber profile

The Brusbox-70 profile, reviews of which can help you make the right choice, is a product of the latest advances in the development of ideal systems. Buyers are attracted by the increased installation depth of the box, which reaches 70 mm, as well as the maximum possible number of cameras, which is six. Thanks to this, according to consumers, it was possible to achieve increased sound absorption and thermal insulation.

Profile width

The maximum installation width of the REHAU Geneo profile is 86 mm, Intelio is 80 mm. For REHAU Brillant, Grazio and Delight Design and Delight Design this figure is 70 mm.

Brusbox has so far limited itself to only one variation of a wide (70 mm) profile - Brusbox 70-6.

Budget solutions (there are three of them) from a German manufacturer have a mounting width of 60 mm. Brusbox has only two 60 mm profiles.

But the Russian manufacturer does not yet have a solution similar to the 86 mm REHAU Geneo.

REHAU wins the round.

Profile Brusbox SUPER AERO (Brusbox Super Aero)

Some experts classify the improved 5-chamber Brusbox Aero system as a standard class, while others classify it as a premium category. The presence of the term “Super” in the title of the series indicates that the statements of the second group of experts are more correct. The structures assembled from these profiles are designed to last up to 50 years and retain heat well even in severe frosts. Brusbox Super Aero windows have a double-circuit sealing system and are equipped with 2 types of glazing beads: beveled and round. Moreover, for radius beads, a separate type of profiles is produced for sashes that have rounded edges. The SUPER AERO system has been produced since 2012 and in just a couple of years has become popular among buyers. The stable demand for Brusbox SUPER windows is explained by their versatility. Such structures can be installed in residential, office and commercial premises. They are recommended for those who are not used to overpaying for popular brands.

Comparison table of technical characteristics

The Brusbox profile was developed taking into account operation in different conditions, therefore the main characteristics of the series presented for sale may differ significantly. Depending on where it is planned to glaze the openings, the type of system is selected.

Profile type Installation depth (mm) / Number of internal chambers Maximum glass thickness (mm) Heat transfer resistance coefficient without reinforcement (W/ m² ×°C)

Energy efficiency

The thermal protection coefficient of Brusbox windows is 0.76.

Similar REHAU solutions show no higher than 0.64.

However, the German manufacturer’s line includes REHAU Geneo. The coefficient of this profile is 1.05.

Brusbox is trying not to lag far behind its competitor - its line already includes a 6-chamber profile Brusbox 70-6. Unfortunately, the manufacturer has not yet provided the exact coefficient. However, it can be assumed that 6 chambers provide better thermal protection than four.

Reviews about the Brusbox Aero profile

“Brusbox aero” - a profile, reviews of which see below, is a design limited in the size of the sashes. The maximum profile length for a white structure is 4 m; if we are talking about a colored version, then this parameter is 2.5 m.

Consumers emphasize that these values ​​are quite sufficient to fill window openings of standard sizes. However, if necessary, you can order a profile with more impressive parameters, and it will contain joints that are made in the form of expansion joints. The design of the latter will guarantee the movement of the profiles in a certain range. The described “Brusbox” profile windows, which receive the most positive reviews from consumers, are additionally reinforced with reinforcing elements laid around the entire perimeter; they take the form of galvanized steel profiles, the wall thickness of which is 1.5 mm.

Consumers like this, because in this case the profile will not be afraid of loads and pressure. If you want to use less intensive reinforcement, for example, one that will have a wall thickness of 1.2 mm, then experts recommend confirming this data with strength calculations.

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 is a classic option, preferable 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 of those 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.

Single-chamber double-glazed windows are the lightest; they consist 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. At higher temperatures there is almost no difference between two- and three-chamber double-glazed windows.

Helpful 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.

Profile Brusbox 60-4 (Brusbox 60-4)

This is one of the most popular series. Sales of the 4-chamber system “60-4” are explained by its affordability and the fact that, with an installation depth of 60 mm, its characteristics are as close as possible to the Brusbox 70 profiles. Although Brusbox 60-4 belongs to class “B”, the thickness of the outer walls made of plastic is 2.8 mm and is close to the lower limit of the permissible parameters of “A” class products. Thanks to this, structures assembled from such profiles have increased rigidity. Windows made from Brusbox 60-4 systems are suitable for use in regions with moderate climatic conditions and are adapted for the installation of reinforced fittings with a burglary protection function.

Rehau profile

The German company, created more than half a century ago, has long won recognition among consumers from different countries . Thanks to the use of advanced technology, attractive designs and convenient configurations, their products are popular in the industrial and construction industries. The concern's developers regularly improve technology, environmental performance and energy saving levels.

Rehau produces a wide range of profile units from 60 to 70 mm , which are divided into multi-chamber and high-tech products made from fiber fibre. The manufacturer provides a guarantee on them and assures that the profile will last at least 60 years . Frames can be laminated and used to make windows of non-standard shapes.

Profile characteristics include:

• High noise insulation up to class 4, preventing sounds from the street from entering the room.
• Burglar protection thanks to the installation of special fittings.
• Thermal stability due to the multi-chamber system.
• The smooth surface of the frame is easy to clean from dust and other contaminants.
• Impact-resistant glass and durable seal.
• Long service life.

At the request of the customer, models are made with standard and tinted glasses, the color of the plastic is changed, or lamination is carried out to resemble wood.

According to reviews from most consumers, Rehau windows demonstrate excellent reliability when used in difficult climatic zones . Increased thermal insulation protects against low temperatures and maintains comfortable living conditions.

Types of profile systems

Let's look at the types of profile systems that are included in the BRUSBOX brand range.

ACLASS

This type of window profile appeared on the market just a few years ago, it was immediately classified as class “A” (as you might guess from the name). The production of the ACLASS model was carried out on the basis of the official GOST 30673-2013.

As for the appearance of the profile, it has a simple and minimalistic design. The ACLASS type is suitable for window structures of all basic types and shapes. At the same time, the distinctive characteristics of the product include the fact that it has an increased wall thickness, and accordingly, the thermal insulation indicators are high.

In this regard, it is recommended to install the system in regions characterized by rather harsh climatic conditions. The design of the profile model includes 3 chambers.

60-4

This type of window profile from the manufacturer BRUSBOX can be called universal. This is due to the fact that the product is characterized not only by high quality, but also by good thermal properties and performance. Profile type 60-4 is actively used for the production of window structures of any configuration. The structures can be installed both in panel houses and in luxury cottages.

If we talk about specific technical indicators, the following numerical data should be provided:

• The width of the model is 6 cm;
• the profile design includes 4 chambers;
• The thickness of the front walls is about 3 mm.

SUPER AERO

This window profile model from the BRUSBOX brand differs from other options by the presence of 5 cameras. The installation depth is 70 mm. The SUPER AERO model appeared on the market quite a long time ago, back in 2012. However, even despite this, it remains one of the most popular among users today.

In the process of creating this design, the manufacturer increased the width of the profile systems in order to increase thermal insulation performance.

It is also important to note the fact that this model has a budget price and, accordingly, is affordable for purchase by almost everyone.

If we talk about the technical characteristics of this window profile of the SUPER AERO model, then the following indicators should be noted:

• width is 7 cm;
• thickness of outer walls – 2.5 mm;
• The maximum possible filling thickness is 4 cm.

This model is one of the most rational and reasonable choices.

GLIDE

The GLIDE PVC profile system belongs to the sliding category; it appeared on the market in 2016. Very often this element is used for tender and private glazing of balcony structures and loggias. It is important to include a long service life among the distinctive characteristics of the profile and, accordingly, saving your money.

Users note the attractive appearance of the GLIDE profile from BRUSBOX. The heat transfer resistance indicators of this model are at the level of 0.73 m2×°C/W (it is also important to note the absence of reinforcement).

Thanks to such a wide variety of types of window profiles from BRUSBOX, each user will be able to choose an option that will fully meet his needs and wishes.

Which is better Brusbox Aero or Rehau Blitz

An analysis of the demand for window designs of modern consumers has shown that Brusbox Aero and Rehau 60 profiles are among the leaders in their class. What are their similarities and differences?

Brusbox Aero or Rehau 60: which is better to choose?

When choosing window designs, modern consumers are often faced with the problem of choosing the best option. The ideal design from their point of view should be reliable, durable, and stylish. In this case, the purchase must correspond to the financial capabilities of a particular person. In this material we will compare Brusbox and Rehau, the two leading selling models of PVC profiles, according to all indicators that are important from the user’s point of view.

Evaluation factors for window systems

•Production of structures. The Brusbox company produces products that meet European quality standards - products are manufactured on the most modern imported equipment using high-quality plastic raw materials from the Borsodchem ZRT company. The Rehau concern operates on the same equipment and cooperates with the same supplier.

•Adaptability to the Russian climate. Both Brusbox Aero and Rehau 60 are recommended for installation in all climatic zones of our country - they survive harsh winters well and prove to be amazingly durable structures. However, windows from a Russian manufacturer have a higher coefficient of heat transfer resistance in comparison with the German counterpart under consideration, which has the same installation width (60 mm).

• Aesthetic qualities. Both models are distinguished by a classic, strict design that will fit perfectly into the interior of a modern home, office, store, administrative institution, etc. If desired, the customer can choose colored windows rather than white ones - for this, both manufacturers provide a wide palette of durable lamination film. The Brusbox company also produces profiles painted in caramel and chocolate colors.

•Pricing issue. When comparing Brusbox and Rehau, it is useful to remember that we are talking about products of a domestic and, accordingly, a foreign company. At the same time, the German brand is truly a “window legend”, and many are willing to overpay about 20% just for a big name, which has long been considered the standard of European quality.

If your goal is to save on products from a popular brand, but at the same time get PVC structures that are impeccable in terms of international standards, then you can give your preference to Brusbox Aero without any fear. The analysis carried out above showed that those who choose products from the Russian brand will receive a model with the same performance characteristics that are so necessary for a person striving for a high level of comfort in the home.

Specifications

Due to the fact that the profile has three types, each type has some distinctive features. Let's consider the parameters of each type separately.

Three-chamber view

Three-chamber type or “BRUSBOX 60-3” - these products have good reliability and durability. They can be used both for the construction of buildings, houses, and in the manufacture of window structures of any type and type.

Due to the fact that the profile has external and internal pre-chambers, it has the most suitable resistance to thermal transfer.

The table below describes in detail all its technical parameters:

Four chamber system

Profile “BRUSBOX 60-4” - this system is versatile and accessible. Products of this type can be used in any weather; they can withstand severe frosts, rain and sunlight. It is used for the construction of houses, cottages and panel structures.

The profile design consists of 4 chambers and has the highest heat transfer compared to three-chamber and six-chamber systems.

The table describes all the technical parameters of this material:

6 chamber view

This system has an increased installation depth of the box of almost 72 mm and a large number of chambers - 6. For this reason, the products have good sound and thermal insulation and are recognized as the best compared to other systems.

The table describes in detail all the technical properties of these products:

Comparison of KBE and Brusbox

Home -> Articles -> Other -> KBE and Brusbox
It often turns out that choosing PVC windows becomes a real headache for buyers. Advertising of manufacturers of these products is found on every corner today. And deciding which window to buy is very difficult without tips and advice. But you can use a comparative analysis of manufacturers, for example, KBE and Brusbox.

KBE

These profiles are produced in Germany by the Profine concern. KBE production will soon celebrate its thirtieth anniversary. Experience and high class specialists allow us to produce excellent windows. KBE is different:

• proven quality. Profiles are regularly tested on more than sixty technical parameters. They have an international ISO9001 certificate. Confirmed compliance with all necessary domestic GOST standards;
• improved thermal insulation. In multi-profile KBE systems, you can install from three to five cameras. This variability makes it possible to provide an excellent microclimate in the premises;
• environmental friendliness. The work uses the well-known Greenline technology. It implies the abandonment of lead and its compounds in the production of PVC windows. Instead of them - calcium and zinc. Therefore, the KBE product does not cause any harm to the environment and is completely safe for people;
• durability. For more than forty years, KBE windows will regularly perform their duties.

Brusbox

Brusbox has a lot of good points. These windows are considered one of the best in terms of protection against burglary. The profile contains a Eurogroove, which makes it possible to use fittings not from just one manufacturer, but from many manufacturers.

Possibility of lamination

It is not necessary to set the profile with its main color - white. You can laminate it. For this purpose, German Renolit film is usually applied to Brusbox products. It has many colors, from which the customer chooses the color he likes the most.

Among the main operational properties of Brusbox are:

• excellent resistance to physical loads and impacts;
• no need for careful care;
• organic fit into any interior.

The Brusbox profile is compatible with triplex glazing.

Profile Brusbox 70-6 (Brusbox 70-6)

The decision to equip a profile system with a 70 mm installation depth with 6 cameras made it possible to significantly improve its performance characteristics. Brusbox 70-6 windows perfectly absorb noise and retain heat well. Increasing the number of air chambers for systems with such an installation depth is an opportunity to achieve maximum energy efficiency of structures. The Brusbox 70-6 system, which has an outer wall thickness of 3 mm, is classified as a high-tech “A” class product.

Brusbox windows are a growing Russian brand whose production facilities are located at the Bryansk plant. Since its establishment in 2003, the company quickly occupied a certain market segment, and now has entered into direct competition with foreign analogues. REHAU, founded in Germany, remains one of the world's most famous manufacturers. Can Brusbox profiles become a worthy alternative? Let's compare the two brands according to a number of criteria:

• Product class;
• Number of air chambers;
• Number of sealing circuits;
• Quality of reinforcement;
• Maximum installation width;
• Glass thickness.

Product class

The class of a PVC window profile is determined by the thickness of the outer walls, so profile A is considered stronger and more reliable. Its thickness starts from 3 mm, while for class B 3 mm is the limit. However, both brands under consideration give preference to class A.

Number of air chambers

Today, Brusbox’s product range includes only a few types of profiles, the most budget-friendly of which remains Brusbox-60-3 (three air chambers). A direct competitor to REHAU is the REHAU Basic Design profile with a similar number of air chambers. If maximum thermal insulation is required, choose the REHAU Geneo model, equipped with six air chambers with a maximum heat transfer resistance coefficient (CTR).

Number of sealing circuits

Double-circuit sealing is a modern standard, which both REHAU and Brusbox perfectly comply with. But if this is not enough, let us again remember about REHAU Geneo, which has three sealing circuits at once.

Reinforcement quality

Metal reinforced inlays are necessarily present in high-quality PVC profiles, providing additional strength and resistance to deformation. The reinforcement must have corrosion protection, which greatly extends the service life. There are no differences between REHAU and Brusbox according to this criterion.

Maximum installation width

The minimum installation width is 60 mm, which is typical for Brusbox 60-3, REHAU Basic and several other models from the lower price segment. For thick double-glazed windows, REHAU profiles are better suited, and there is a wider choice (Sib, Brilliant and Delight Design). Among Brusbox products, only the Brusbox-70-6 model can be considered an approximate analogue, so REHAU is an unconditional victory here.

Glazing thickness

For REHAU products, the maximum thickness of a double-glazed window with increased density is 53 mm, while for Brusbox it is only 40 mm. In the budget segment, REHAU is also the leader (35 mm versus 32 mm).

conclusions

The cost of windows made from REHAU and Brusbox profiles today is approximately at the same level, and a slight overpayment towards REHAU is not a minus, but rather a guarantee of durability, resistance, and protection from adverse environmental factors. Without a doubt, one day Brusbox may well repeat the success of the German brand, but today the buyer’s choice is obvious!

Profile Brusbox GLIDE (Brusbox Glide)

This Brusbox profile is intended primarily for assembling structures that are used for glazing loggias or balconies. The three-chamber Brusbox GLIDE window frame has an installation depth of 60 mm. Single glass or double glazed windows are suitable for completing sliding sashes. It is also possible to install sandwich panels in light openings. Such windows are equipped with lifting and sliding mechanisms, which are convenient and reliable in operation. The doors open after turning the handle without any effort. Brusbox GLIDE windows can be equipped with mosquito nets. The tightness of the structures is ensured by sealing contours located at the top and bottom. For balconies, such systems are much more convenient than swing models. This is especially noticeable in confined spaces, since sliding sashes do not require space to open outside the glazing plane. EPDM seals can be easily replaced, if necessary, during the operation of the products. Thanks to the manufacturer's use of a double felt contour, the risk of windows blowing through is significantly reduced.

Advantages over competitors

Can the BrusBox profile compete with such well-known companies as Rehau and VEKA? This is a rather serious question. Let's make a comparative analysis for each manufacturer separately.

Profile BrusBox vs. Rehau

Often, when choosing profiles from a particular manufacturer, consumers encounter some difficulties. Basically, everyone pays attention to quality, durability, and appearance. The financial side also plays an important role.

Therefore, it is worth conducting a comparative description of the qualities of each profile manufacturer:

1. Production of structures. BrusBox profiles are manufactured on modern imported equipment using high-quality raw materials from plastic material from Borsodchem ZRT. Rehau profiles are manufactured using the same technology;
2. Ability to withstand the Russian climate. Both BrusBox and Rehau perfectly withstand the climatic conditions of Russia and are suitable for almost any region. Both materials withstand frost well and have a long service life. But still, BrusBox profiles have a higher level of heat transfer than their German counterpart;
3. External characteristics. Both manufacturers produce profiles with a more formal appearance. They fit perfectly into office spaces, modern apartments, shops, administrative buildings and so on. You can also order colored products if you wish - both manufacturers have a variety of colors for fluorescent film. You can also order BrusBox profiles in caramel or chocolate colors;
4. Price. But as for the cost, it’s worth paying attention to the fact that Rehau is a German manufacturer, and accordingly the cost is much higher. Although they have almost the same qualities compared to BrusBox profiles, their cost is almost 20% higher. But many overpay because they believe that foreign technologies are much better and of higher quality than domestic ones. Yet this opinion is wrong.

Profile BrusBox vs. VEKA

Distinctive features of the profiles of each manufacturer:

• How structures are made. Both VEKA and BrusBox are produced using high-tech equipment from high-quality plastic material;
• Exposure to weather conditions. Both profiles tolerate the climatic conditions of our country well. Not exposed to frost, rain, sun and other environmental factors;
• Life time. Both brands are built to last;
• Appearance. Both VEKA and Brusbox produce profiles that have a classic appearance. They fit perfectly into any residential premises, offices, administrative institutions;
• Price. Again, the cost of a foreign manufacturer is much higher than a Russian one. VEKA profiles are much more expensive than BrusBox profiles, but essentially they have the same characteristics.

Key differences between PVC systems

Brusbox brand products are inferior in price to their competitor . They are considered more affordable and belong to the economy class group, although they are manufactured in Russia using imported equipment from high-quality material. The manufacturing technology at Rehau factories is almost identical, but the price equivalent of the profile increases by almost 20% due to the added cost of customs duties and fees.

Both designs are suitable for glazing houses and apartments in various regions of Russia, where difficult weather conditions and frosty winters . However, Brusboxes are inferior to competitors in terms of heat transfer. The German analogue is considered to be an order of magnitude more ergonomic.

If we take into account customer reviews, there are fewer complaints about Rehau windows in terms of defects or poor-quality deliveries. The seal and the thickness of the outer walls of the plastic provide waterproofing and noise protection.
