Disadvantages of an aluminum system
Provedal glazing has the following disadvantages:
- The doors are susceptible to freezing and can become clogged with snow drifts.
- The system is intended only for glazing spaces without heating.
- Sound insulation is low.
- Insufficient degree of tightness.
- The Provedal aluminum profile is characterized by low heat retention in the space of an apartment or house.
Areas of application
According to their technological characteristics, Provedal aluminum windows are designed to create translucent glazing:
- sliding loggias made of aluminum are installed in apartment buildings and private buildings;
- the system performs glazing of the veranda, gazebo from the profile, exit to the loggia;
- The structure can be used to glaze a balcony, greenhouse, series of greenhouses, cabinets on the balcony, etc.
Glazed verandas and terraces can be located in private homes, hotels, hotels, office premises, exhibition halls, etc. However, it must be taken into account that glazing is designed in rooms that do not require heat-retaining properties. An additional area of application for translucent structures is the design of entrances in private homes and office buildings.
Sliding glazing systems are suitable for expanding the veranda, terrace of a country house or creating a balcony with a take-out in a multi-storey building. The systems are also used to create a built-in winter storage area in Khrushchev-era buildings.
The technical parameters of the structures make it possible to use them when decorating bay windows, verandas, gazebos in cottages and recreation centers. It is allowed to use blocks for the implementation of a separately designed utility block, an area for sports training, or a winter garden.
Budget option for cold glazing
- Lightweight design made of environmentally friendly material - aluminum. A well-thought-out profile configuration ensures high rigidity of structures at low temperatures and under significant wind loads;
- Convenient room ventilation system - sliding opening ;
- Electrostatic spraying provides a smooth, uniform profile structure and a smooth, slightly glossy surface that does not lose its physical properties throughout its service life.
Minimum weight, painting in any color according to the RAL catalog, optimal technical characteristics, at a low price distinguish aluminum sliding windows from their closest competitors Sliders, LG.

Characteristics of Provedal p640 and c400
The Provedal system is available in several variations with design differences:
- P400;
- C640.
The structural thickness specified by the manufacturer is 64 mm. Felt or rubber are used as seals. Both systems can be tinted with sprayed dyes according to the RAL palette. The structures are created with 2-4 doors.
Aluminum system Provedal p 400
According to the description, the technical characteristics of the p400 system suggest glazing a balcony or loggia with double-glazed windows with tilting, fixed, tilt-and-turn design solutions. The standard system has a frame and a sash. The number of elements may vary depending on the complexity of the project. 4-27 mm according to design standards .
Seals are selected taking into account the climatic conditions of the region, components are selected depending on the characteristics of the wall panels.
The sash system is fixed using hinged hinges; when closing, the blocks are secured with a rotary handle. The doors open towards the inside of the room. A swing design solution is optimal for door and window openings.
The systems are also used for stained glass compositions and hinged partitions. The standard width of the sashes is up to 1250 mm. Painting in shades according to the RAL palette is allowed. Glass thickness is limited to 6 mm; fastenings are made of stainless steel.
Provedal aluminum glazing is used for apartments and country houses; the blocks are used as a replacement for door blocks to change the design of the room. The systems are suitable for arranging partitions in apartments, office premises, etc. The advantages of P400 are the high wear resistance of the material, resistance to precipitation, in addition, the coating can withstand temperature conditions of -50...+50°C .
Special spraying protects the material from corrosion, mold, and fading under ultraviolet rays.
Color is maintained without fading. In addition, provision is made for the creation of fixed window glass and the installation of hinged blocks. Combination of different systems is allowed. Noise protection of 27 dB is provided. The profile is maintained under mechanical loads and exposure to humidity; differs in fire safety.
Aluminum system Provedal c 640
The Provedal c640 aluminum profile consists of 2-6 sections. The design solution is sliding. The blocks move on roller wheels along special guides. Glass with a thickness of 5-6 mm is inserted into the blocks with single glazing. When using a loggia in winter, the recommended glass thickness is 16 mm. The design is fireproof and features a large light opening. Sound insulation parameters are 10-12 dB.
The window includes several required elements:
- frames - top, bottom, side;
- docking profile;
- sashes - side, central, horizontal.
The upper and lower frames of the Provedal system are equipped with guides (there can be 2-3 ) along which the shutters move.
In addition to the standard design, manufacturers produce modernized series of blocks. In lightweight compositions there are no stiffeners; some elements are made thinner than standard ones.
Provedal c640 windows in a modernized version are offered at a reduced cost. The number of sashes is 2-6 pcs.
Varieties
Every homeowner can afford comfortable glazing with PROVEDAL. Aluminum systems of the brand are mounted with portal, tilt-and-turn, and swing doors. Any of them are durable and can be used properly for many years.
Manufacturer's basic profile systems:
- P-400 - 40 mm wide, for 4–5 mm glass filling (standard, tinted, stained glass, energy-saving, soundproof). With fixed and hinged doors. It can take a complex shape in the form of an arch, triangle, trapezoid, and be painted in the tones of the RAL palette, including wood.
- C-640 - with sliding doors. Available in two- and three-rail versions. The width of the two-rail system is 6.4 cm. In addition to glass 4–5 mm, C-640 allows the installation of glass packages up to 16 mm, products of complex shapes, painted in shades of the RAL palette.
Modifications based on these profiles are also produced.
The main stages of installing Provedal windows
Sliding windows are installed using the following tools and materials:
- electric drill;
- screwdriver;
- polyurethane foam;
- fastenings (staples, screws, screws);
- building level;
- specialized adhesive base;
- films for decorating and insulating glass, etc.
The aluminum frame is being assembled (installed) in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, following the following steps:
- Dismantling the old window block.
- Before installing the structure in winter, it is necessary to leave the profile in a warm room (+18...+20°C) to prevent deformations.
- Before installation, the load on the base is calculated, the opening is measured and the dimensions of the required space for glass and profiles are calculated.
- Installation of an apron made of galvanized steel on the loggia. This step is necessary when finishing a balcony with metal handrails. If there is a concrete parapet on the loggia, the window structure is mounted on the base without a metal apron.
- Then a canopy is attached to provide drainage. The length of the canopy must correspond to the size of the loggia.
- Window sill installation.
- Installation of anchor plates in the window opening.
- Fixing the frame to anchor bolts.
- Installation of ebb and flow to the frame.
- Installation of window sashes.
- The next stage will be the installation of the Provedal structure according to the assembly diagram - sealing cracks, joints, and seams. It is necessary to adjust the symmetry and tightness of the joints of the protective linings, rubber or brush-type seals.
- Drains must be installed at the bottom of the blocks to drain water.
- Then you need to adjust the fittings and the ease of opening the window units with your own hands.
- After completion of the work, it is impossible to adjust the height of the structure, so the horizontal position of the roller guides must be checked during the installation of the profile.
After installation, it is necessary to keep the structure closed for 1 day. The doors may open with force at first, but during operation the movement of the blocks becomes smooth.
