Richmond window profile technical specifications

Mont Blanc windows are assembled from profile systems manufactured in Russia. The first batch of products was produced at a factory in the city of Elektrostal in 2001. Production facilities with modern extrusion lines belong to , which also has an assembly workshop and its own laboratory for testing. The first Montblanc profile was developed by domestic engineers and chemists with the assistance of Austrian specialists from a reputable company. Employees of the German company helped create the recipe for the PVC mixture for this system. Moreover, the development of all systems is carried out taking into account their operation in the difficult climatic conditions of the Russian Federation.

Interaction with European partners allowed Mont Blanc-Ost employees to gain experience and successfully develop several more popular profiles in Russia. During the system design process, our specialists are provided with information support at all times by Austrian technologists who work at the enterprise. The management of MONTBLANC has hired a staff of specialists who constantly monitor the quality of raw materials and materials. All products of the popular Russian manufacturer are certified and constantly tested in the laboratory on benches that create extreme operating conditions.

Plastic profile systems Mont Blanc

Montblanc window profiles are presented on the Russian market in 7 series of systems with different installation depths, number of internal chambers and thickness of internal and external walls. All these parameters have a direct impact on the thermal characteristics, as well as the cost of windows. The presence of several systems allows a flexible approach to solving repair and construction problems. Mont Blanc profiles are now used for the manufacture of door and window blocks (including bay windows), entrance lobbies, winter gardens, as well as façade and balcony glazing. The structures assembled from these systems are suitable for use in all climatic zones of the Russian Federation.

Montblanc PVC profiles are made of plastic that does not lose its properties in the temperature range from -55 °C to +75 °C.
Their service life is 60 years. The developers managed to increase the energy efficiency of the systems thanks to the patented form of internal chambers for steel reinforcement. The slightly curved walls of these cavities have minimal contact with the metal liners. This slows down the heat exchange between plastic and steel. The absence of harmful stabilizers in PVC makes it possible to install windows and doors made from Mont Blanc systems in educational, preschool and medical institutions. Despite the existing differences, all series of profiles of this brand have common characteristics:

• suitable for use in moderately aggressive environments;
• have 2 sealing circuits;
• withstand any relative air humidity;
• compatible with stand and additional profile elements, allowing you to assemble structures of complex shapes;
• have a snow-white glossy surface.

To ensure that structures can withstand high temperature loads and not deform at low and high temperatures, PVC profiles are reinforced with reinforcing liners with a wall thickness of 1.5 mm. For the manufacture of steel liners, the company uses metal produced by Severstal OJSC and corresponding to GOST 14918-80. In addition to PVC profiles, it offers customers everything for window installation: plastic window sills, ebbs and slopes.

When choosing the most suitable system, you need to take into account that modern standards have become much stricter. Today, good windows should not only retain heat, but also save energy resources.

Quality

Some professionals have minor comments about the Richmont systems in terms of profile quality and reinforcement. But you need to understand that these are budget options used for assembling inexpensive plastic windows. And in the budget glazing segment, this profile has proven itself to be excellent, including in terms of price/quality ratio.

Rehau looks better in terms of plastic quality and reliability. The domestic company has premium series aimed at people who do not want to save on the final result, and Rehau has something to offer even the most demanding customers, for example, six-chamber windows Rehau Intelio and Rehau Geneo.

Profile MONTBLANC TERMO 60 (Mont Blanc Thermo 60)

This 4-chamber system has been produced and in steady demand since 2001. Its heat-saving properties allow TERMO 60 windows to be used in moderate climatic conditions. Typically, structures with an installation depth of 60 mm, assembled from profiles of other brands, are used for installation in unheated rooms. Thermo 60 window and door blocks are suitable for glazing residential and office premises. The energy efficiency of the system was increased due to the successful distribution of internal chambers - two cavities are located on the inside of the windows and slow down heat loss.

The basic system was subsequently modified, and the manufacturer supplemented this series with TERMO NEW profiles. They have the same installation depth - 60 mm, but their energy efficiency is higher. The heat-saving properties have been improved by adding another chamber. In order not to significantly increase the cost of the Thermo New system, the developers slightly reduced the thickness of the outer walls to a parameter corresponding to class “B”. However, this change did not affect the main characteristics of the profiles. Windows assembled from them also last up to 60 years and can be used in a temperature range from -55 °C to +75 °C.

Evolutionary double-glazed windows SmartGlass 2.0

Our multifunctional double-glazed windows work for you both in winter and summer. In winter, the spraying of silver particles retains up to 90% of the thermal energy of heating devices, and in the summer, a double-glazed window reflects 25% more solar heat than conventional plastic windows.

• 42% more HEAT in winter (energy saving properties)
• 25% less HEAT in summer (sun protection properties)

All our double-glazed windows contain special energy-efficient glass. We DO NOT use regular glass even in the most basic configurations.

Profile MONTBLANC REACHMONT (Mont Blanc Richmond)

This Montblanc profile, like the Termo system, has 4 chambers and a mounting depth of 60 mm. The windows of these 2 series have identical performance characteristics. The main difference is durability. REACHMONT door and window blocks last up to 40 years. As for a 4-chamber profile, this system has excellent energy efficiency - 0.73 W/m²×°C. It has been produced since 2007 under license. A company with British roots has exclusive rights to the REACHMONT trademark.

Which windows to choose: Reachmont or Rehau? Comparison of window profiles

Which windows to install: Reachmont or Rehau? When choosing the ideal solution, you usually have to rely on specialists. But there is always doubt in the opinion of sellers, what if they are interested in selling a glazing system of a specific configuration and provide you with false information?

Therefore, we decided to prepare a separate material in which we will consider the advantages and disadvantages of the Richmont and Rehau profiles. It is important to understand that any windows are assembled from components from individual manufacturers. Glass is manufactured at glass factories, the window profile is made by the profile manufacturer, fittings, window sills and other components are similarly produced at separate enterprises.

The assembly of a finished window block from these components begins with designing the window and cutting the profile - the window frame itself, the base of the window into which double-glazed windows and fittings are installed.

Professionals consider the profile to be the most important component of the glazing system. This is the basis on which all the characteristics of a high-quality window block largely depend. Our company offers several popular profile systems.

Profile MONTBLANC NORD 70 (Mont Blanc Nord 70)

An improved system with 5 internal chambers and a 70 mm installation depth is ideal for the central and western regions of Russia. Despite the promising name, it is better not to use Nord 70 windows in northern latitudes, since their energy efficiency is not enough to maintain the optimal temperature (22-24 °C) during severe frosts. But in the central and southern regions, structures assembled from the MONTBLANC NORD system not only retain enough heat to create comfortable conditions, but also help save on heating costs.

AirDrive I, II and III climate control systems

Optimal ventilation mechanisms are built into the windows - the sashes open slightly by 1-5 mm, depending on the selected mode. These are NOT external devices (combs or valves), but BUILT-IN ventilation fittings.

• AirDrive I: slot ventilation (1 mode)
• AirDrive II: discrete multi-stage ventilation (3 modes)
• AirDrive III: discrete multi-stage ventilation (5 modes)

We try not to place combs based on their appearance (only at your request). In principle, we do not use valves due to the fact that they violate the integrity of the window, reduce its tightness and strength (since the profile and its reinforcement are drilled through).

Profile MONTBLANC GRAND 80 (Mont Blanc Grand 80)

MONTBLANC profiles of this series have 6 chambers. Their installation depth is 80 mm, which makes the system suitable for use in central or western and northern regions. The air chambers in GRAND 80 windows are distributed as follows - on the frame there are 3 cavities located on the interior side, and on the sashes - on the outside. Thanks to this configuration, uniform temperature distribution is ensured throughout the entire profile structure and heat loss is reduced to a minimum.

The premium Grand 80 “A”-class system is designed for assembling wind-resistant windows. The thickness of the outer walls of the structures is 3 mm, which increases their strength and rigidity. PVC windows Mont Blanc Grand 80 can be equipped with double-glazed windows with a thickness of 52 mm, which increases not only their energy efficiency, but also sound insulation. The structures assembled from profiles of this series are recommended for installation in noisy urban areas. Window and door units of the GRAND series have rounded edges of the profiles on the side of the light openings, which visually lightens the massive structure.

Why choose Richmond windows?

1. Richmond windows have a stylish geometry and are equipped with double-glazed windows with a thickness of 22-32 mm;
2. the plastic profile for Richmond windows has 3 or 4 chambers, which provides high thermal insulation in winter;
3. a high level of sound insulation allows you to create a cozy, quiet atmosphere in any room;
4. Richmond PVC windows are absolutely sealed, so cold air and drafts will not enter the room;
5. Richmont windows are suitable for difficult climatic conditions of all regions of Russia;
6. Richmond window profile fits harmoniously into any interior thanks to its thoughtful design and variety of colors and shapes (for example, Richmond windows are suitable for glazing an L-shaped balcony or other complex geometric shapes);
7. When creating the profile, environmentally friendly materials are used;
8. high level of fire safety of products.

One of the main characteristics that distinguishes the Richmond profile is its price. This is an excellent economical option, which in many respects is not inferior to more expensive analogues, for example, the German Rehau.

Richmond plastic windows from the manufacturer are equipped with modern Axor fittings, which allows you to maintain a competitive price with high quality of all components of the window system.

Economical Richmond systems have passed all the necessary tests, so the products are accompanied by appropriate certificates of hygiene and quality.

Profile MONTBLANC ECO 60 (Mont Blanc Eco 60)

The ECO system has low energy efficiency and is only suitable for use in southern regions and glazing of unheated premises. Windows assembled from it are not recommended for installation in residential, municipal and office buildings built in the central, western and northern regions. The wall thickness of this 3-chamber system with an installation depth of 60 mm corresponds to “A” class. The profile has rounded edges and a snow-white glossy surface.

Many customers are attracted by the elegant design of the Eco system, the environmental friendliness of the plastic and its favorable cost, but for the sake of these important qualities they should not neglect the thermal characteristics.

How are people deceived when buying plastic windows?

Competition in the field of plastic windows is high. That’s why there are a lot of dubious companies that want to profit from clients. Even understanding how a PVC window works and which product is best suited for your needs is not always enough. Sometimes fraud can only be recognized after the passage of time, when the warranty has already expired. But consumers often allow themselves to be deceived by choosing a low price or an attractive offer in a promotion.

The first thing where deception begins is the client’s reluctance to properly clarify the details when first calling the consultant. A specialist from an honest company will undoubtedly tell you what parameters should be taken into account before calculating the preliminary price - opening dimensions, profile, double-glazed windows, window sill size, sash configuration, additional options. Most clients brush off these questions and insist: “Set a price!” Completely in vain.

The estimated cost of a window will not give anything, even for comparison with the prices of other companies. A modern plastic window is not only a number of components from several manufacturers, among which there is too great a difference in parameters, quality and cost. The service life of the product and its reliability strongly depend on both measurement and assessment of the situation, and on compliance with the assembly and installation technologies of the structure. It is possible to judge the conscientious approach of a window installer company only in this totality.

Profile MONTBLANC LOGIC (Mont Blanc Logic)

This system has a wall thickness corresponding to class “C” and is recommended for façade glazing. The installation depth of three-chamber Logic windows is only 58 mm. Such structures do not place a significant load on the walls and, together with them, have fairly high dimensional stability. MONTBLANC LOGIC profiles allow you to save a lot of money in cases where the installation of reliable, durable windows with high energy efficiency is not required. The Mont Blanc window profile of the Logic series is also equipped with reinforced steel liners, thanks to which they can be used to assemble large blocks whose dimensions do not exceed GOST requirements.

Profile MONTBLANC CITY 120 (Mont Blanc City 120)

Despite the presence of only 4 chambers in active sashes, profile structures assembled from the City 120 system are excellent for use in moderate climatic conditions. The developers have increased the energy efficiency of window and door units due to a wide 5-chamber frame, the installation depth of which is 120 mm. It minimizes heat transfer between the profile structure and cooled walls. Thanks to this modernization, the main profile, created for the mild climate of Europe, was successfully adapted to the harsh Russian winters.

Mont Blanc City windows, reviews of which prove the correctness of the developers' idea, have an additional advantage - a high level of security. The wide frame does not allow you to quickly break into window and door units. To press the sash, get to the fittings or saw the structure, attackers need much more time. Read more about the burglary resistance of windows on OknaTrade. That is, the decision to combine the profile from the TERMO 60 system with a 120 mm frame turned out to be successful in every sense. Technologists were able to significantly increase the level of heat saving and rigidity of MONTBLANC CITY 120 systems without extra costs.

Online window cost calculation

The final price consists of a huge number of different factors, and that is why it is very difficult to make the calculation yourself.

Montblanc plastic windows are designed taking into account all the features of the Russian climate and consumer needs. The manufacturer's range includes profile systems with 3-, 4-, 5- and 6-chambers with the ability to install thick double-glazed windows up to 52 mm wide.

The high performance and aesthetic characteristics of the profiles, combined with a low price, have made Mont Blanc windows very popular in the Russian window market.

Comparison table of technical characteristics

Mont Blanc is a PVC profile that allows you to successfully select windows with the optimal level of sound and heat insulation. To do this, you need to study and compare the main parameters of MONTBLANC systems. The energy efficiency and noise absorption of window and door units are most influenced by the number of cameras, the thickness of the glass unit and the installation depth. As a result, the listed parameters should be considered first.

For the manufacture of windows that will be installed on the upper floors of high-rise buildings and in areas with high wind loads, a multi-chamber profile with an increased installation depth is recommended. The thickness of its external and internal walls must correspond to “A” class. Such systems have a high modulus of elasticity and are able to withstand high wind loads without deformation.

To choose the ideal system, you need to focus on the climate data of the coldest winters that have been observed in the region over the past 2-3 decades.

Manufacturing technology

A lower price for a product may also hide a violation of technological requirements, which sometimes not only robs the buyer, but also calls into question his safety.

Reinforcement

The plastic profile needs to be reinforced - otherwise the product will deform and the window will become unusable. The technology for manufacturing PVC windows requires the use of a metal profile inside the structure - that is why they are called metal-plastic. According to the standards, the metal profile must be protected from corrosion, the minimum thickness of the closed section (square) is 1.5–2 mm, and at least two screws must fit into it - then the sash will not sag over time.

How do unscrupulous manufacturers deviate from technology:

• thinner profile section - 0.75, 1 or 1.2 mm;
• ordinary ferrous metal, not protected from corrosion;
• U-shaped reinforcement without a closed section;

In suspiciously cheap windows, reinforcement can be installed selectively - for example, only in mullions, frames and turns. Sometimes they use a short metal profile or make it up of several parts. Some windows have no reinforcement at all. Such products are especially often used for glazing new buildings.
