Krauss profile systems: extruders are Austrian, compounds are Japanese, and the profile is Russian!

Reliable and functional Krauss windows are assembled from plastic and aluminum profile systems, which are produced in Russia. The association of this brand with German quality is not accidental - the owners of the brand purchased Austrian Technoplast equipment. These extrusion lines are used to produce PVC profiles of European quality. Over time, the company purchased additional machines that are used to produce aluminum systems. The production of components for the production of aluminum or plastic windows is located in the Krasnodar region. The factory was opened in 2006 in Krymsk. Currently, this company produces not only profiles, but also fittings. That is, today it is possible to assemble certain window models from Krauss factory products (PVC and aluminum profiles, sash opening mechanisms) without using components from other brands.

Plastic profile systems KRAUSS

Thanks to the specially selected composition of frost-resistant polyvinyl chloride, Krauss PVC profiles are suitable for the assembly of plastic windows, which can be used almost throughout the entire territory of the Russian Federation.
The exception is regions with extremely cold climates. The resistance of structures to unfavorable external environments and frosts is ensured by unplasticized rigid polyvinyl chloride used as feedstock. The performance characteristics of this material are improved by adding calcium carbonate, color pigment, modifier and stabilizer to its composition. The basis of this synthetic material is resins from the MITSUBISHI concern. After bench tests of Krauss windows, it was concluded that in terms of their qualities these products are as close as possible to structures assembled from German KBE profiles. Such statements are not far from the truth, since Krauss PVC profiles are produced from imported components using foreign equipment. Registration of a trademark and localization of production in Russia made it possible to significantly reduce the price of products with good quality. Today, several types of these profile systems are available to domestic consumers.

Krauss as a brand: history.

Multifunctional designs, characterized by reliability, are made from polyvinyl chloride and metal profiles, which are produced. The brand name with German quality is explained by the equipment of the lines with Austrian Technoplast equipment. Production facilities are concentrated in the Krasnodar region.

Krauss plastic windows are made using polyvinyl chloride resins. The Krauss profile is made using new technologies that ensure a long service life of the structures.

The increase in production was facilitated by investment from Turkey, which ensured the launch of a line for the creation of aluminum profiles and the expansion of lines for the formation of rolled products from polyvinyl chloride material.

The company produces Kraus windows, aluminum profiles, and components that ensure the assembly of systems without the use of parts from other brands. The product is characterized by an arcuate configuration that provides insulation. The rigidity of the products is created by thickened walls in the places where the impost is installed.

The accessories used are sold through branches. Mechanisms for turning and tilting are characterized by an optimal number of prefabricated elements. Additional accessories are selected taking into account the configuration and dimensions of the finished system.

The mechanisms are equipped with locking parts and burglary protection elements, which are adjusted taking into account design parameters. Ease of rotation is ensured by the use of roller mechanisms.

Fomax fittings meet the requirements of the State Standard and provide standard optional system capabilities.

Profile KRAUSS 5800 (Krauss 5800)

Since the profile system with 3 internal chambers has an installation depth of 58 mm, it is not recommended for use in harsh climatic conditions. It is advisable to use it when assembling window blocks for country houses, balconies and loggias, as well as warehouses and industrial premises. Installation of Krauss 5800 windows in residential and office premises in the southern regions of the Russian Federation is allowed. According to experts, KRAUSS 5800 profiles are a high-quality analogue of KBE (Etalon) systems. They are not adapted for the installation of anti-burglary fittings, so they provide only a basic level of security.

Distinctive features

The excellent quality of KRAUS is confirmed by multiple certificates.

During production, imported equipment is used, as well as raw materials - PVC resin from the famous Japanese.

Balcony glazing system C640/P400

The KRAUSS aluminum system is designed for the manufacture of various sliding structures (balconies, windows, doors). The profile is processed on a cutting machine at an angle of 90. Using a pneumatic matrix, technological holes are cut out and milled on a copy-milling machine. It is permissible to install glass up to 5 mm thick. Smooth movement of the sash thanks to the special frame design with guides.

Characteristics of the C640 series:

• — installation depth of the frame profile: 60 mm
• — installation depth of the sash profile: 22 mm
• — visible frame dimensions: 52 mm
• — visible dimensions of the sash: 32 mm
• — filling: 5 mm

Profile KRAUSS 7500 (Krauss 7500)

The warmest of the entire line of PVC profiles is a 5-chamber system with an installation depth of 70 mm. Windows assembled from it can be used in regions where severe frosts are briefly recorded in winter. Removing the center of the fitting groove in KRAUSS 7500 systems allows the structures to be equipped with reliable anti-burglary mechanisms. The depth of the groove for installing double-glazed windows, increased to 24 mm, significantly reduces the likelihood of condensation forming around the perimeter of the light opening.

How to care for a plastic window

• The most important thing to pay attention to is that during interior finishing the craftsmen do not remove the hydro-vapor barrier tape, which serves as protection for the installation seam and creates inconvenience in the manufacture of the slope. Also, during finishing work, you need to constantly ventilate the room, which craftsmen also do not like, especially in winter, citing the fact that the room does not dry out for a long time. In fact, everything is exactly the opposite. When carrying out finishing work, a lot of water is used; it naturally evaporates and if the room is not ventilated, then water in the form of condensation falls on the double-glazed window and flows down onto the window sill and is absorbed into the new slope. And that's how you get mold. Also, during finishing work, all dust from plaster and putty falls on the profile; the seal and fittings must be thoroughly cleaned after completion of the work.
• Maintenance of the sealing rubber must be regular so that it does not lose its properties - protecting the room from drafts, dust and noise. Rubber elastic seals are located around the entire perimeter of the frame and sashes, with their help the windows fit tightly. It is enough to thoroughly wash them from dirt 2-3 times a year with a simple soap solution, then dry them and lubricate them with silicone oil.
• Caring for PVC profiles includes cleaning them using special detergents. The detergent should be applied to the plastic frame using soft cloths and left until dry, then the treated surface should be wiped with a damp cloth. Under no circumstances should abrasive substances or solvents be used for this purpose.
• Caring for the fittings means lubricating them 2 times a year with machine oil or technical petroleum jelly. If necessary, the handles must be tightened. And switching the fittings to the winter/summer position.
• Caring for the drainage holes is also necessary to ensure that moisture is removed to the outside. Naturally, from time to time they will become clogged with dirt, so you need to get rid of it regularly.
• Caring for plastic windows in winter includes ventilating the apartment several times a day for 10-20 minutes. This achieves a reduction in humidity in the room - condensation does not form on the double-glazed windows, and the slopes do not become wet. Plastic windows sweat precisely because they are sealed and in winter there is a change in the temperature and humidity conditions of the house.

Comparison table of KRAUSS PVC profiles

Depending on the brand, each Krauss profile system has a higher or lower heat transfer resistance coefficient, which determines the energy efficiency of the windows. When considering this determining parameter and the level of sound absorption, the thickness of the double-glazed windows should be taken into account. After all, it also directly affects the ability of structures to retain heat and sound.

Aluminum systems KRAUSS

Under the KRAUSS brand in Russia they produce not only plastic profiles, but also aluminum systems.
They are used to assemble lightweight and at the same time durable window or door units. Depending on the series, Krauss aluminum profiles are suitable for assembling “cold” or “warm” blocks. Profiles with higher energy efficiency have an additional polymer liner inside (thermal bridge) that retains heat. Without it, the number of chambers in the profile, the type of double-glazed window and the installation depth of the frame do not matter. The cold system is definitely not suitable for glazing any heated premises, since its use is irrational. In this case, all the heat will escape around the perimeter of the sashes and frame. Aluminum structures can last up to 80 years without changing basic performance characteristics or changing aesthetics. They have a high degree of resistance to deformation and wind loads. Such profiles are suitable for assembling both external glazing and internal dividing structures. EPDM-based rubber seals are used as sealing contours for these systems. To equip window and door blocks made of aluminum profiles with fittings, a Eurogroove is provided. This allows you to use the opening mechanisms of virtually all popular brands.

But this will not be an easy task!

What is considered an official Krauss profile site?

Glazing of a cottage with Krauss profile

There is a website okna-krauss.ru. It can even be given the title of the official website of Krauss PVC. But, frankly speaking, he is not verbose about plastic windows either. And about other products with the Krauss brand, there’s no word at all!

The site ]"Astek-MT"[/anchor] although it tells a little about everything, it is very laconic! It is better to look for technical characteristics of profiles and fittings on the website ]Krauss RT[/anchor] – an affiliated legal entity in the Republic of Tatarstan. There are more details, but this site, too, seems to be aimed at production workers, engineers, and related workers, and the mind of a simple buyer simply does not have time to absorb all those technical details that are very densely presented in dry, professional language.

Therefore, perhaps it is better to get acquainted with Krauss brand products through ordinary selling sites such as “Multiokna” or window.msk.ru.

KRAUSS series KRWD-45 (Krauss KRWD-45)

The Krauss 45 system is intended for the assembly of cold structures only, as it is entirely made of aluminum and is not equipped with a heat-saving liner. Blocks made from these profiles have an installation depth of 45 mm. Such windows and doors can be equipped with either single glass or double glazing. The scope of application of the KRAUSS KRWD-45 systems is the production of blocks for unheated entrance groups and internal dividing structures. Sometimes they are chosen when equipping cold balconies and loggias. Series 45 profiles can also be used for glazing commercial, warehouse and industrial unheated premises. Kraus-45 cold systems are identical in their main characteristics to the famous Spanish Provedal aluminum profiles.

KRAUSS series KRWD-64 (Krauss KRVD-64)

The KRWD-64 profile system is used for assembling warm door and window blocks, as it is equipped with thermal inserts made of polyamide, additionally reinforced with fiberglass for rigidity. Its installation depth is 64 mm. Although it is possible to install single glazing in structures made from these profiles, it is most often ignored. After all, it is advisable to use warm systems together with double-glazed windows, the maximum thickness of which is 47 mm. The system is recommended for use in southern regions.

KRAUSS KRWD-71 (Krauss KRWD-71)

Aluminum windows from the KRWD-71 systems with an installation depth of 71 mm are characterized by high rigidity and strength of connections. The presence of a thermal bridge inside the profiles makes these structures suitable for warm glazing of window openings, entrance lobbies, vestibules and heated balconies with loggias. Thanks to the increased installation depth and the possibility of integrating thick double-glazed windows, blocks made from KRWD-71 profiles are characterized by increased energy efficiency.

MAXIMUM steel profile reinforcement

Reinforcement is a steel frame inside a PVC profile. This is what gives the structure rigidity. The more steel and stiffening angles, the more reliable the window geometry.

• Square – 100% reinforcement on 4 sides, 4 stiffeners (maximum)
• U-shaped – 75% reinforcement on 3 sides, 2 stiffeners (regular)
• L-shaped – 50% reinforcement on 2 sides, 1 stiffener (very, very bad!)

All our profiles are reinforced to the MAXIMUM - on 4 sides and always with 4 stiffeners.

VEKA technologists managed to achieve a compromise between the unpretentiousness of the matte texture and the spectacular gloss.

Pleasant shine and low sensitivity to external influences are the most noticeable feature of our window systems.

The VEKA profile complies not only with the Russian GOST, but also with the European RAL building standard.

Comparison table of KRAUSS aluminum profiles

Krauss is an aluminum profile, the thermal characteristics of which depend primarily on the presence of a thermal bridge. However, the energy efficiency of “warm” windows from systems with a polymer liner is also affected by the installation depth of the frame and the thickness of the glass unit.
