Characteristics, features and properties of Deceuninck PVC profile

Two manufacturers Deceuninck (Belgium) and Rehau (Germany) have earned trust in the Russian market. Plastic windows based on them are distinguished by thermal insulation, sound absorption and durability. Deceuninck is a fairly “young” player in the PVC products market, but is increasing its popularity due to its premium appearance. Rehau has long been a brand that has stood for quality for 50 years. But when the task is to choose one of the profiles, customers have a reasonable question: which is better Deceuninck or Rehau. Let's figure it out.

Deceuninck profile systems

The Deceuninck assortment consists of several systems with different installation widths and numbers of chambers, which accordingly affects the characteristics of windows manufactured using them:

1. All systems of this brand are united by one feature - regardless of the type, all Deceuninck products are produced without the use of harmful stabilizers. The company uses the environmentally friendly CaZn composition as an additive.
2. Products made from them have excellent frost resistance, as they do not change their properties even at -60 °C, and retain their characteristics unchanged for 40 years. Manufacturers guarantee that such windows can last at least six decades.
3. In order for the profiles to withstand Russian frosts well, a special modifier is added to the PVC composition in the required quantity to improve impact strength.
4. The base color of Deceuninck profiles is white, but they can be laminated. This procedure allows you to give the windows different colors and make them look like wood. The manufacturer offers a choice of 35 decors. Lamination films come with a 10-year warranty, but in reality, with proper care, they last longer.
5. The sealing contours for all profile series from the Deceuninck Group are made of elastic TPE material, which does not stain plastic, is UV-resistant and has high ozone resistance.

Deceuninck Eforte

Window and door units made using 6-chamber Eforte profiles have an installation depth of 84 mm and 3 sealing contours, which minimizes the likelihood of blowing and moisture ingress. Manufacturers have further increased the level of tightness by increasing the width of the rebate to 9 mm. This allows you to press the sash more tightly around the entire perimeter to the frame and has a positive effect on sound insulation. The special design of the glazing beads with 2 legs makes it much more difficult to squeeze the glass unit out of the light opening. In addition, to increase the level of security in the Eforte system, the axis of the fitting groove is shifted by 13 mm, which makes it possible to integrate reinforced locking mechanisms.

Deceuninck Favorit Space

This quiet and warm profile system with an installation depth of 76 mm has 6 internal chambers. The resistance of Deceuninck Favorit Space windows to severe frost was tested in real conditions at -55 °C. Experiments have confirmed that such structures are suitable for use in regions where winter temperatures often drop below 20 °C. The seating of the glass unit, deepened to 25 mm, prevents the slopes from freezing and promotes good sound absorption. Two standard sealing contours are complemented by a third, making the system excellent tightness. Door and window blocks made from Favorit Space profiles are reinforced with reliable reinforcing liners and can withstand high wind loads well.

Comparison table of Rehau and Deceuninck profiles

So that you can quickly compare and make a choice, we have presented the main parameters of the various profiles of both brands in the form of a table.

Deceuninck Favorit

The five-chamber system with 2 sealing circuits is very elegant. The 45° slope on the outer side of the profiles not only provides an original design, but also allows rain and melt water to drain well. The installation depth of the frame profiles is 71 mm, due to which the system has a good level of thermal insulation and prevents freezing of windows. The system is designed for the production of burglar-resistant windows, since the location of the mounting groove allows for the installation of reinforced fittings. The presence of special clamps allows the use of auxiliary profiles in the manufacture of large and complex structures.

Deceuninck Favorit Crystal

A distinctive feature of this 5-chamber system is two white sealing contours and the original shape of the profiles, the outer side of which resembles the edges of a crystal due to the 45% bevel of the frame and sash profile. This design feature explains the name of the windows. The Favorit Crystal system is suitable for assembling structures adapted for the installation of double-glazed windows. Favorit Crystal profiles have high static stability, thanks to which products made from them, reinforced with steel liners, can withstand even extreme wind loads.

Features of windows

The Enwin profile, the manufacturer of which is part of the global concern The Deceuninck Group, is distinguished by high quality and reliability, while boasting an affordable price due to the location of production in Russia.

For the manufacture of profiles, advanced production lines "ARGOS" are used, produced by. The production process is fully automated and eliminates accidents caused by the human factor. The recipe is controlled automatically, so the Enwin profile, regardless of the batch, is of the same high quality. The products manufactured are designed for the harsh Russian climate and correspond well to it, thanks to which they can be used in all regions of the country.

Profile production

Profile types

After studying the features, it is worth making reviews of some profile models, since they differ not only in terms of technical characteristics, but also in areas of application.

Favorite Space

A very practical model, which is known for its six-chamber structure. This structure allows for a high thermal protection index, which is very important when operating at low temperatures. The large width of 76 mm and the possibility of installing double-glazed windows up to 49 mm allows you to have the most reliable PVC windows. The presence of three sealing circuits minimizes the likelihood of heat escaping from the room.

Thanks to its reliable assembly and high-quality PVC material, Favorit Space has a very long service life of 60 years, and various seals will last 20 years. It is worth mentioning the frost-resistant class of the profile, intended for installation even in cold conditions.

The temperature range from -60 to +75 degrees allows us to call this model very versatile, since it can be used in different climatic zones and not be afraid for the quality of the design.

This profile is compatible with various types of anti-burglary mechanisms, so protecting the premises will not cause discomfort. A double-sided flap with a width of 9 mm on the inside and 8 mm on the outside prevents the glass unit from being squeezed out in unforeseen circumstances. Steel reinforcements increase the strength of Favorit Space, and a deep-fitting system prevents windows from fogging up.

Bautec Neo

Profile intended for use in temperate and northern climates. To protect against gusts of wind, the PVC material is equipped with a special reinforced structure, which increases the strength endurance of the profile by 2 times. The five-chamber system allows you to retain a large amount of heat, thereby increasing the operating temperature range. Its performance varies from -60 to +75 degrees, so Bautec Neo can also be used in northern climates.

The service life is 40 years for the profile structure itself and 20 years for various seals. The security system is expressed in the presence of a special bead with two legs.

It is this that prevents the glass unit from being squeezed out, which reduces the likelihood of windows breaking. This model is compatible with all anti-burglary systems. Good sound insulation combined with reinforced material makes this profile very reliable and durable.

PVC material, which has passed many tests and examinations, has class A+, and is therefore completely safe for humans. The components do not contain harmful lead, and the PVC itself can be recycled. The resistance coefficient is 0.78 square meters. meter*S/W, profile width 71 mm. It is possible to mount double-glazed windows up to 47 mm, there are two planes for sealing gaskets. The internal design is made in such a way that it does not retain moisture and does not fog.

Eco 60

This profile is intended for domestic use. By installing this model at home or in the country, you will protect the room from cold and wind. Thanks to its four-chamber structure and reinforced parts of the structure, Eco 60 can withstand heavy loads of both low temperatures and sharp gusts of wind. The width is 60 mm, the warranty period for this model is up to 40 years for the structure and up to 20 years for the seals.

Completely safe, high quality PVC will prevent physical damage. The smooth, glossy finish will provide an attractive appearance even after several years of use. It is worth mentioning that the manufacturing features of PVC make it possible to avoid the appearance of scratches. As for the installation of double-glazed windows, its width can be up to 32 mm.

Technical characteristics of Deceuninck and Rehau profiles

Both lines are classified as class A (except for the Bautek type from Deceuninck, which has class B), both are represented by a whole range of models designed for both modest wallets and wealthy clients. If you take products of the same class, they will not differ much in price, but the set of technical characteristics of the Rehau and Dekeninck profiles will not be the same. You should pay attention to the following indicators (they affect the durability and quality of windows):

• the width of the entire product and its outer wall;
• type of reinforcement, burglary safety;
• the number of thermal insulation chambers inside the window frame - for Russia there should be at least 3 - 5 (and “overdoing it” with chambers can lead to the opposite effect - plastic partitions will begin to act as a cooling radiator);
• thickness of the glass unit;
• configuration and number of seal circuits (both companies use a unique rubber seal);
• roundness of the frame (rounded contours let in 10% more light), the presence of decorative overlays.

According to GOST, the recommended width of the outer wall of the profile for residential premises is 3 mm or more. Deceuninck produces systems with a thickness of 2.5 mm, Rehau - from 2.8 (suitable only for outbuildings; for the house you need to select profiles with an outer wall of 3 mm or more).

The minimum installation width for both brands is 60 mm. More is better. For Deceuninck this figure varies between 71, 76 and 84 mm, for Rehau – 70, 86 mm.

PVC is necessarily reinforced with a steel profile inside the frame, which allows you to make durable plastic structures of any shape and size. Please note that small-chamber wide systems can become deformed over time, because the stiffening ribs are contained in the chambers.

A G-shaped reinforcing profile is preferable. Rehau installs this part in both the sash and the frame. Deceuninck uses it for the premium line, and uses U-shaped reinforcement for the budget series.

The reinforcing galvanized steel insert comes with an open and solid contour. Opened is warmer, one-piece gives additional strength to the structure.

The Brilliant and Delight series from rehau are burglar-resistant; the Delight system has a decorative overlay.

According to the technical parameters considered, the Rehau profile is good, but the Deceuninck is not inferior to it. To more accurately understand which is better, rehau or deceuninck, you need to consider other indicators.

Deceuninck Favorit Arctic (Arctic)

The snow-white 5-chamber profile of this system easily withstands frosts down to -60 °C. The installation depth of Arctic windows, which is 71 mm, is quite enough to install thick double-glazed windows and assemble quiet and warm windows from these systems. The bevel on the beads with an inclination angle of 45° and the white seal provide a smooth visual transition from the profile to the glass unit, which creates the illusion of an increased light opening. The anti-burglary characteristics of the Favorit Arctic system ensure compatibility with various types of anti-burglary fittings and the presence of rigid reinforcement.

Advantages of Deceuninck PVC windows:

COMFORT

Deceuninck profile systems are designed to last for 40 years and seal for more than 30 years in northern and temperate climates. Such durability and resistance to temperature changes make Deceuninck profile windows indispensable under the climatic conditions of Russia. This is a frost-resistant profile, which is especially important in the Russian winter. The frames of the system are reliable and durable: deformation under the influence of cold, heat and intense wind loads is completely excluded. Summer stuffiness is eliminated by built-in Rigel-Air supply ventilation valves; and therefore there is no need for frequent ventilation with opening transoms (i.e., draft penetration).

SAFETY

Through many years of experience, Deceuninck produces the most reliable systems. All of them are compatible with all types of anti-burglary fittings. The putty with two legs prevents the glass unit from being squeezed out. Rigid reinforcement makes the window exceptionally strong and significantly increases its anti-burglary properties. And the rigidity of the reinforcement in the impost - the most important element of the window from the point of view of wind load - exceeds similar indicators of other systems by 2 times.

SAVING

Thanks to the increased thermal insulation characteristics of the FAVORIT and BAUTEK systems, you can reduce energy consumption for space heating, which reduces your financial costs. The FORWARD system has a low frame height, which allows a large amount of daylight to penetrate, accumulating heat in the room naturally without the use of expensive energy appliances.

PRESTIGE

The Deceuninck concern, a world leader in the PVC profiles market, guarantees you the European quality of its profile systems. An extensive range of colors, as well as the possibility of using patented profile painting technology, makes it possible to choose the ideal solution for even the most demanding customer. Deceuninck windows will not only fit organically into any interior, but will also decorate your home and bring into it an atmosphere of joy and modernity.
