profine is the world's leading manufacturer of PVC profiles for window and door systems. Using the successful brands KBE, KÖMMERLING and TROCAL, profine offers the right profile systems for every application and guarantees the highest quality products and services. Profine carefully considers every detail of a plastic window and introduces innovative technologies, ensuring the success of its customers in the market. Our line includes the brands KBE, KÖMMERLING.
The German brand KBE is the leader in the line of the international concern profine in Russia.
KVE's expertise is recognized at the state level: KVE specialists helped develop GOST standards for PVC profiles and windows made from PVC profiles; 80% of the drawings in GOST are KVE section diagrams.
The history of the brand begins in 1980, in Berlin.
KBE was the first to switch to high-performance extrusion technologies, which helped quickly conquer the market in Germany and throughout Europe. The main word for KBE is dynamism.
In 1995, the KBE profile brand appeared on the Russian market and quickly became popular in Russia. In 2000, the company opened its plant in Voskresensk - in order to avoid the cost of delivery from Berlin and reduce production time.
Currently, there are already 2 factories in Russia, and a third is planned to be opened.
At the same time, the opening of the plant does not mean a abandonment of strict German standards - the Russian division is directly subordinate to the main center of profine GmbH, key positions are occupied by employees from Germany.
Strict German requirements have been implemented at all profine enterprises. Thus, the KBE plants in Voskresensk and Khabarovsk use the greenline (lead-free) formulation. This has been the law for Europe since 2010, but in Russia lead is still banned only in whitewash and children's toys.
However, the profile systems from which various structures are assembled have many common characteristics:
1. KBE plastic windows can be used in the range -60°C – +75°C;
2. Thanks to the use of stabilizing additives, the impact strength of the profiles is 44.2 kJ/m², which makes them less brittle in severe frosts;
3. KBE systems are suitable for making triangular, trapezoidal, round, arched and oval windows;
4. KBE profile systems produced using Greenline technology comply with the international eco-labeling standard “Leaf of Life”.
When developing profile systems, employees of a German company place test samples for 7 days in chambers in which the temperature is maintained at -45°C at all times. This allows you to compare the calculated data with the actual characteristics of the products.
KBE gutwerk profile: pros and cons
KBE Gutwerk profiles are made from durable, environmentally friendly polymers. The design has a narrow frame. The installation depth of popular models is 58 and 70 mm.
Product advantages:
- simple design solutions;
- budget price;
- environmental friendliness;
- large light transmitting area;
- positive heat-saving and noise-insulating characteristics;
- strength;
- aesthetic design;
- versatility.
The structural design of the profile is represented by rectangular shapes, a standard range of sizes, optimal for finishing housing stock. In comparison with manufacturers of similar products, KBE Gutwerk systems are presented at budget prices.
The profile is distinguished by the use of environmentally friendly raw materials and is produced using greenline technology without lead additives. The products can be used to decorate premises with high safety requirements. The manufacturing technology ensures high light transmittance of the glass unit, 4-7% more than the standard one.
Thermal insulation and noise insulation characteristics are provided by a double circuit of seals that prevent the occurrence of drafts. To enhance heat-saving indicators, it is recommended to install double-glazed windows with energy-saving qualities. Wear resistance and resistance to mechanical damage are ensured by compliance with technological process standards. The service life of the products reaches 40 years.
The design of the classic profile is made in white, the surfaces are protected from deformation and yellowing with a special protective compound. The manufacturer carries out lamination to order in different shades, including wood. The versatility of the designs allows the Gutwerk brand to be combined with other KBE systems. Combining blocks helps save money when implementing a project. The disadvantage is considered to be the simplicity of Gutwerk designs and the inability to produce non-standard window blocks (oval, arched).
Profile KÖMMERLING 76
KÖMMERLING 76 has all the advantages of modern windows. The five-chamber system with an installation depth of 76 mm impresses with its modern design and ideal profile proportions. It meets not only today's but, above all, future requirements, from functionality, thermal properties to environmental protection and consumer appeal. KÖMMERLING 76 is designed in such a way that it allows the use of both modern 2-chamber and multifunctional double-glazed windows with a thickness of up to 50 mm.
This improved system is designed to assemble windows with increased thermal efficiency and individual design.
Products in this series, which are sold on the domestic market, are produced in frost-resistant versions and are adapted to the Russian climate. All interfaces and joints of structures made from 76 mm systems are additionally sealed. The cellular structure and steel reinforcement comprehensively ensure the stability of structural shapes

Average prices and reviews
Alexandra, 32 years old, Krasnodar : “I needed to replace double-glazed windows during renovations in the living room, I selected high-quality products at an affordable price from the brands presented. I installed a profile from Gutwerk with a depth of 70 mm; I ordered standard glass, because... The local climate does not require energy-saving characteristics. For 1.5 years there have been no complaints about the system.”
Evgeniy, 42 years old, Kolomna : “After purchasing a private house, I thought about changing windows to preserve heat in the room. I installed the standard KBE Gutwerk 58 profile and was attracted by the affordable prices and quality of workmanship. The product retains heat and condensation does not form. If necessary, glass with shockproof properties can be installed.”
Olga, 30 years old, Kaliningrad : “The KBE Gutwerk profile is one of the budget options among manufacturers. A single-leaf window (58 mm) costs from 3.9 thousand rubles, a double-leaf window - from 7 thousand rubles. I installed the profile when moving into an old apartment, I’m happy with the quality. Double-glazed windows last more than 3 years.”
