Rehau Blitz New plastic windows are practical, budget-friendly, high-quality, sealed, with improved sound insulation and heat-saving characteristics. Three-chamber profiles with a two-layer seal are used in interiors of classical and modern styles. The structures are suitable for installation in residential buildings, preschool and medical institutions, and administrative buildings.

Distinctive features of the Rehau Blitz New profile

Rehau Blitz New is part of the line of budget profile models with a classic design and high-quality performance. The products are manufactured using special technology using RAU-PVC material and are supplemented with reinforcement. The products are optimal for decorating administrative premises, residential buildings, shopping malls, medical clinics, kindergartens, and schools.

Rehau windows and doors in the Blitz modification are produced in accordance with EDLP (082-25-28), ISO 1163 - PVC-U standards. The products can withstand temperatures of -40…+120°C.

The products are distinguished by affordable prices and high quality. The Rehau Blitz New profile is combined with standard components of the Rehau brand for size 60 mm. The window lets in more light due to the high frame with a sash reaching 105 mm.

The design of the model differs from standard profiles in that it has beveled corners and an original design of external seals that do not crumple during use.

The list of design advantages:

• tightness;
• wear resistance;
• resistance to precipitation;
• durability;
• comfortable operation, simple configuration of elements;
• high noise and heat insulation;
• variety of forms (standard and made according to the author’s design);
• easy maintenance and setup.

Variety of models

Today, the world-famous German concern Rehau is engaged in the manufacture of several profile systems based on polyvinyl chloride. Each product has its own advantages and certain technical parameters. The following models are in greatest demand:

1. Euro Design. This is a budget option, but it differs from standard products in its higher sound insulation and heat insulation parameters. Models can be oval, round, rectangular.
2. Rehau Blitz Design. The most affordable option, which is not inferior in its performance parameters to more expensive models. There is a three-chamber system, reinforced with an anti-burglary mechanism. The frame has a smooth and even surface. The fold of the sash is slightly curved, which prevents the accumulation of dust and moisture.
3. Delight Design. Windows with a five-chamber system are equipped with advanced locking devices and an elegant figured sash.
4. Sib Design. This profile is intended for professional installation of the product in cold climates. The reinforced system is able to withstand even the largest temperature changes; the final width of the glass unit is slightly increased.
5. Intelio. This series includes the most expensive six-chamber products. The design of the product has high thermal insulation parameters. The windows transmit light perfectly, are absolutely waterproof and soundproof. It is worth noting that among all existing models, products from this category are the most popular among wealthy buyers.
6. Brilliant Design. All products in this series are distinguished by three types of transoms: rounded, beveled, offset. The final thermal insulation characteristics are quite high; a locking system with enhanced effect is provided. The surface of the structures is perfectly smooth, the only differences are in the color palette.

Profile technical characteristics

Rehau Blitz profiles correspond to class A technical parameters (GOST 30971 - 2012). The description of the features and technical characteristics of the profile indicates the increased strength of the products.

The presence of proprietary reinforcement and the width of the chambers up to 35 mm give the structure resistance to mechanical stress.

The product is distinguished by an optimal ratio of the number of chambers (3) and the depth of the window profile (60 mm), ensuring reduced heat transfer.

The design is equipped with 2 sealing contours that prevent the occurrence of drafts, the penetration of dust and moisture into the apartment space.

The shelf life provided by the properties and characteristics of the profile is 30 years.

The outer surface of the structure has bevels at an angle of 15°. The design is made of special environmentally friendly material without the addition of cadmium.

The sealing inserts have a two-lobe structure and are made of EPDM rubber. The manufacturer offers white, gray and black versions. The permissible filling depth is 32 mm.

The heat transfer resistance coefficient is 0.70 m² * °C/W. The noise insulation level reaches 25 dB (according to GOST - class D). The level of wind resistance belongs to class C5, air permeability characteristics are class 4, water permeability is class 9A (for lovers of “quiet windows” there is a Rehau Intelio profile).

There are several types of opening window blocks, lamination to order, and the creation of non-standard design solutions. The wide middle chamber provides for installation of reinforcement. The design can be equipped with reinforced locking elements and inclined folds for water drainage.

The properties and characteristics of profiles can be improved by installing double-glazed windows for different purposes:

• energy-saving glass due to low-emissivity spraying allows you to increase the temperature retention in the room by reflecting thermal energy;
• the noise-proof double-glazed window has a design solution that reduces the degree of penetration of sounds into the room; the product is optimal for installation in apartments whose windows face the roadway;
• Shockproof glass is resistant to mechanical damage and is suitable for installation on the upper and lower floors of buildings as an alternative to metal protective grilles;
• The multifunctional double-glazed window is coated with silver-containing particles; in the summer, the material helps to maintain coolness, and in the winter, the thermal energy in the room.

Decoration of window blocks includes:

• lamination in accordance with the design of the room (there are more than 70 tint films in the catalogue);
• glass tinting;
• installation of stained glass inserts, window layouts, etc.

For safe operation, the following rules are required:

• the handles turn smoothly, sudden opening of the doors is prohibited;
• It is not recommended to hang fabrics or heavy decorative elements on window blocks;
• Mechanical damage and thermal effects must be avoided.
• Regular checking of the quality and serviceability of the fittings is recommended.

Double-glazed windows for your order

Today, many people strive to provide themselves with comfortable living conditions and save energy resources, therefore, instead of standard single-chamber or double-glazed windows, they prefer to install those that have additional functions:

Additional decoration

Rehau Blitz profile in comparison with other profiles

The Rehau Blitz profile is included in the middle price category. The REHAU Sib (premium class), Delight (luxury), Brilliant (elite) profiles have higher quality characteristics. The technical parameters, dimensions, dimensions, composition of insulating materials, the purpose of the products, and the range of tasks to be solved differ.

The design of the Rehau Blitz profile includes a frame made of glossy material, a double-glazed window, standard fittings, and a seal. The Rehau Sib design has technical characteristics that are 20% higher in terms of heat saving due to an enlarged profile (70 mm), the use of 4 chambers, the use of drainage systems and decorative inserts. Sib double-glazed windows are characterized by increased resistance to heat loss (0.82 m2 * °C/W), optimal for northern regions.

The Rehau Blitz profile is not suitable for use in frosty winters.

A higher level of quality and heat saving includes the Rehau Delight profile with 5 chambers, supplemented with reinforcement. The designs of Rehau Brilliant blocks are distinguished by burglary-proof characteristics with low weight and aesthetics.

Functionality

The main purpose of quality windows is good lighting. In the dark, the main function of distributing light in the room is performed by installed lamps and luminaires; on a clear day, a multifunctional double-glazed window copes with this task perfectly.

An equally important function is universal sound and thermal protection of premises. On frosty days, windows perfectly retain heat, and in hot weather they provide good ventilation of rooms. In the off-season, the products will protect you from negative weather conditions. In addition, modern Rehau Blitz models prevent the penetration of extraneous noise from the street, which guarantees additional comfort in the room.

Fittings and adjustment

Rehau Blitz plastic windows are complemented by high-quality fittings. Installation provided:

• slopes;
• window sills;
• handles (standard, with a built-in lock or burglar-proof);
• children's locks and handles;
• reinforced locking mechanisms;
• additional accessories (mosquito net, blinds);
• anti-removal pins;
• comb;
• tides for the lower part of the window block.

In Blitz profiles it is possible to install different opening systems (pivot, blind, tilt-and-turn, etc.).

Adjusting Rehau windows allows you to customize the performance characteristics to suit the needs of the room owner. Mechanisms are configured at levels:

• left and right;
• up down.

You can adjust the profile for use in winter and summer yourself. For the warm season, it is necessary to loosen the connection of the sashes. For winter operation, it is necessary to increase the degree of compression of the valves to prevent heat from blowing out. The adjustment is made by changing the location of the eccentrics.

When turning the handle tightly, you need to check the quality of the lubricant in the hinges. The dried composition must be cleaned off, then new material must be applied to the elements of the internal system with an oil can or sponge. If necessary, you can open the doors perpendicular to the frame, install a hex key in the hinges (lower or upper) and turn until the damage is eliminated.

Adjusting the profile opening mechanism will prevent drafts. Adjustment of the fit of Rehau Euro sashes is carried out using eccentrics at the end of the window profile. When you turn the hex key to the left, the connection increases; when you turn it to the right, it decreases. The strength of the junction of the elements can be checked using a fire brought to the joints.

Blowing heat out of the room also occurs due to wear and tear of the seal over 3-4 years of operation. It is necessary to remove the old material from the grooves, the new gasket is inserted evenly without stretching. The frame bevel can be removed using a hex key. The window opens, a key is inserted into the opening on the top hinge and turned clockwise. The bottom of the block should rise up. When you turn the tool in the opposite direction (counterclockwise), the sash will move away from the fastenings, and the opposite lower edge will drop by 2-3 mm. The lower hinges are adjustable when the window units are closed.

Setting rules may vary depending on the brand of hardware. With the handles and fastenings from Siegenia Aubi installed, the screws of the profile fastenings are tightened. For elements manufactured by MAKO, adjustment includes dismantling the valves and manual adjustment. Roto brand fittings are distinguished by complex design solutions; it is recommended to entrust adjustments to specialists.

Elements of the window system require regular maintenance and cleaning from dust and dirt (at least 2 times a year).

It is necessary to wipe the seal with grease. The fittings are cleaned with a damp cloth; the use of products with abrasive particles is prohibited.

REHAU windows: customer reviews

When you need to choose a profile to produce Rehau windows, customer reviews will help you navigate the wide range of products.

Vyacheslav Nikolaevich Sivko (driver):
“For the manufacture of windows, I chose the Rehau Gratio profile, the reviews about which I liked the most.
Thanks to the ability to install thick double-glazed windows, along with eliminating heat leaks, the problem of street noise was solved. The fairly wide 5-chamber frame does not allow the cold to pass through, so there is never water on the inside of the windows or on the windowsill.” Galina Sergeevna Ivakova (nurse):
“We changed the glazing on the loggia and did not want to overpay, since this area is unheated.
Of all the budget 3-chamber systems, we decided to choose Rehau Blitz, reviews of which we heard from colleagues and acquaintances with friends. We felt the benefits of installing such windows in the first winter. The living room adjacent to the loggia became much warmer. Before this, we had plastic windows from a developer from a profile of unknown origin. They did not cope with their functions and even let dust through the sealing contours.” Ivan Vladimirovich Suprun (workshop owner):
“We began to use the dacha all year round and had to urgently insulate it.
Before this, we spent a lot of money on heating the house, but it was still cold inside. When choosing a window profile, the consultant recommended the INTELIO 80 system and selective 2-chamber double-glazed windows for our case. I have never regretted that I listened to a specialist then - the house warms up very quickly, and then a comfortable temperature is maintained with minimal energy consumption.” In order to compare brick walls and REHAU PVC windows in terms of heat savings in real conditions, tests were carried out. Their results completely coincide with the data from the table. Structures made from the warmest GENEO profile are equivalent in energy efficiency to 1.3 m thick brickwork, and the coldest Blitz New is equivalent to a 0.7 m thick wall. From the BRILLANT-Design or DELIGHT-Design systems, you can make windows that are not inferior to walls in terms of heat-saving characteristics with a masonry depth of 0.9 m. This comparison shows that in order to maintain a comfortable temperature in winter, it is better to use systems with an installation depth of 70 mm.

A little history

Until recently, wooden window structures were used in the interiors of the facades of buildings and residential buildings; their installation was carried out during the construction of structures. Of course, even today connoisseurs of natural materials install only wooden windows in their apartments. They are environmentally friendly, aesthetically pleasing and fit harmoniously into the classic interior of the premises. But in the early 90s, plastic windows began to appear on the construction market in our country. The rate of their installation grew every year, and today this type of glazing of window openings has firmly established its position in the sales market, even taking a leading place in application.

One of the favorites in the manufacture of plastic profiles is a world-famous German company that develops and produces Rehau Blitz windows.
