Consumer reviews of Schtern windows, Russian windows - pros and cons


Okonnaya LLC, which produces its products under the SCHTERN brand, has become one of the largest and most recognizable companies producing translucent PVC products in Russia.

Window carries out the full production cycle of manufacturing PVC window and door blocks.

The production is equipped with modern equipment from the world's leading manufacturers from Austria and Germany. On the territory of the plant there are: three automated lines for the production of window and door balcony blocks from PVC, the total capacity of which is 3,000 standard products per day; workshop for the production of non-standard products with a capacity of more than 200 structures per day.

Four automated production lines for the production of double-glazed windows with a total capacity of 6,800 double-glazed windows per day.

Our own workshop for the production of PVC profiles uses equipment from the following brands: Plasmec, Penta, Cincinnati, Greiner Extrusion GmbH using high-quality materials:

stabilizers and modifiers from Kaneka (Belgium), titanium dioxide from Dupont (USA), as well as soft PVC for static and dynamic sealing gaskets from Begra (Germany).

The workshop's productivity is 10.6 million meters of profiles per year. The production of double-glazed windows is carried out on the lines of Lisec. We use M1 glass from the largest European manufacturers Guardian and AGC, aluminum spacer frames and sealants from Italian companies Alupro and Fenzi. The production of PVC window and door blocks is carried out using equipment from leading global companies such as Schirmer, Rotox, Federhenn, Elumatec, Urban.

In the manufacture of window blocks, fittings from the world's leading manufacturer - the German company Roto Frank - . The pride of the company and at the same time another revolutionary step was the introduction into the production of window structures of the technology of gluing a double-glazed window into the sash, as well as welding the impost into the frame and sash. The technology of gluing a double-glazed window into a sash makes it possible to produce a sash that is wide and tall, relative to conventional PVC systems.

The stern profile has a narrow frame (narrow frame, narrow sash), which is good when there is not enough light in the room and you need a large light opening.

Separately, mention should be made of fittings for plastic windows, which are used within the SCHTERN 58 window systems. These are traditionally window accessories from the manufacturing company ROTO. We can talk about standard window accessories with maximum functionality and a long-term guarantee of high-quality operation (handles, plugs, innovative SCHTERN window sills, etc.), or about specific elements - child locks, mosquito nets, visors, ebb sills, locks (accessories ROTO 2), etc.

It is also possible to finish the window profile with special coatings , allowing you to give the structure a particular appearance. We can talk about both color design and imitation of wood of virtually any species.

PVC window profile SCHTERN FEST 58

The innovative SCHTERN window profile is currently offered in a wide variety of types and variations. Each buyer is free to choose something for himself, depending on his financial capabilities, wishes, as well as the objective properties of the room, the size of the window opening, etc.

In the SCHTERN line, as you might guess, the most popular are those models that are intended for the average buyer with an average income. In Russia today, SCHTERN FEST 58 with a base profile width of 58 mm are common. This model is a classic for an ordinary residential apartment, but also suitable for other types of premises.

The SCHTERN FEST 58 profile is:

  1. Frame with 3 air chambers.
  2. Door with 4 air chambers.
  3. Possibility of installing single-chamber double-glazed windows (width 24 mm) or double-glazed windows (width 32 mm).

Stern FEST 58 plastic windows can be equipped with various types of double-glazed windows - standard or functional (soundproofing, heat-insulating, multifunctional, etc.) with the possibility of giving them a particular color.

SCHTERN FEST 58 differs from the slightly more simplified SCHTERN 58 model in that the latter does not have a reinforced base. Of particular importance is the fact that glass units are glued together, guaranteeing maximum expansion of the direct glazing area. Window accessories, in turn, can also be used differently, both in color and in appearance. The only thing that remains clear is the high quality and serious reliability indicators of all ROTO products.

At the same time, the price for SCHTERN FEST 58 plastic windows is very reasonable. That is why this model is perfect for glazing window openings, balconies, loggias, budget glazing of terraces and offices. This ensures maximum opening area.

THE MOST DISCUSSED WINDOWS OF Lipetsk

We ordered windows for a children's room. We recently moved to a new apartment. The windows from the developer were plastic, but single-pane and flimsy. We were blown away. We decided to replace the windows in the nursery with warmer ones. At first we wanted wooden euro windows with double glazed windows. Manager Olga suggested Rehau plastic windows with the Delight profile, energy-saving double-glazed windows and child locks. I liked the plastic solution. Reviews on the Internet about the Delight profile are only good and the technical characteristics inspire confidence. Since we were initially set up for wooden structures, we decided that the plastic windows would be laminated to resemble wood. The windows took 12 days to make, then they were delivered and raised to the floor. The next day the installers came. I was worried that the installation would take a whole day, but they completed it in 4 hours. They took out the old windows and installed new ones. In principle, nothing caused dissatisfaction and I am satisfied with the windows and the work. I can confidently recommend the Village company - windows into the house!

PVC window profile SCHTERN FEST 82

SCHTERN profile windows of the "Premium" series are today considered the most modern, the most aesthetic and, most importantly, the most reliable, comfortable, and also functional.

Below we will describe in detail the Stern “Premium” profile of the FEST 82 , which, along with the SCHTERN RED model, is a leader in all respects.

The main basic parameters and characteristics that distinguish SCHTERN FEST 82 PVC windows from analogues:

  • Unique design profile SCHTERN with a base width of 82 mm;
  • Double-glazed window with 2 chambers 40 mm wide;
  • 6 air chambers in the profile frame and in the window sash;
  • The indicator of resistance to heat transfer processes is 1.38;
  • 3 sealing contours in a designer light gray shade;
  • Unique SCHTERN ROTO window fittings, including, among other things, a special handle for children to safely open windows independently;
  • Minimum height of the sashes and minimum overlap, allowing to increase the area of ​​the glazing itself;
  • Additional protection against profile deflection, as well as sashes sagging;
  • No exposed metal reinforcement elements.

It is noteworthy that SCHTERN plastic windows are equipped with energy-saving, multifunctional, or ordinary standard double-glazed windows - depending on the customer’s needs. In this case, the chambers inside the double-glazed windows, in accordance with modern technologies, are filled with inert gases - a mixture of argon and krypton. Note that the energy saving properties of SCHTERN FEST 82 windows on average exceed standard indicators by 2.8 times.

Characteristics:

Number of seal circuits31
Seal outline colorlight grayblack
Color of the seal outline on the beadredwhite
Heat transfer resistance (Rpr (m2 °C/W)up to 1.38up to 0.55

Finally, the main feature of SCHTERN FEST 82 windows is the maximum opening width in a wide variety of positions with a huge area of ​​the window structure itself.

Window accessories intended for use with the window system are also included in the SCHTERN FEST 82 package. These include window handles, window sills, slopes, mosquito nets, and a number of other elements.

With all this, the window can look almost anything externally, which is achieved by gluing a special film to the profile. Thus, Stern windows of the FEST 82 type can be indistinguishable from wooden windows (and imitation can be made to resemble various types of wood), and can also be completely integrated into the overall design of the interior or facade of the building.

It is, of course, worth understanding the window profile being described - this is not a choice for everyone. This is a kind of “ window elite ”. Accordingly, the choice of such models should be conscious. Typically, such windows are chosen for glazing terraces in cottages and country houses, glazing large office premises, as well as luxury apartments.

Gluing a double-glazed window into a sash

After installing the double-glazed windows, the products are delivered to four gluing lines. The equipment for these lines is also produced by the German company Rotox.

These are the first high-performance glue machines in Russia. The company uses the technology of an advanced European system - gluing into the fold. There are many similar gluing technologies, but this one, according to experts, is the most reliable and advanced. At the gluing area, the window is greeted by a huge majestic gluing robot, which fills the distance between the end of the glass unit and the profile along the entire perimeter of the glass unit with high-quality two-component OTTOCOOL glue from the German company OTTO-CHEMISTRY, with the exception of the corners. This adhesive increases the performance characteristics of the entire window structure, being resistant to aging, ultraviolet radiation and weathering. After this procedure, the glazing bead is installed, and the window is sent to rest until the glue completely hardens.

Along with automatic gluing, non-standard designs can be glued using a manual OTTO-CHEMISTRY pneumatic gun. It is used when it is necessary to glue non-standard structures that are not intended for gluing using robots.

The glazing bead is cut using a high-speed four-beam automatic glazing bead cutter, which makes it possible to produce a set of glazing beads for a double-hung window unit in one cut.

It should be noted that the STERN company is the first enterprise in Russia that began mass automatic production of window structures with glued-in double-glazed windows and itself produces three types of profiles for gluing.

The advantages of glued double-glazed windows are obvious:

  • More light . The height of the window profile used for gluing the double-glazed windows is lower than usual, due to this the light space is increased by 12.5%;
  • Heat saving. There is no metal reinforcement in the sash, as a result, the heat saving of the entire structure increases;
  • Improving the statics of window construction. The principle at work here is: “The double-glazed window holds the sash,” and not vice versa, as usual. The production of plastic windows using the technology of gluing double-glazed glass into the rebate allows the production of window structures with large opening elements. The cost of a window with a glued double-glazed window, if production is well loaded, will be almost equal to the cost of a regular plastic window. The STERN company is currently preparing to test its products at the Rosenheim Institute (Germany). Thanks to the use of innovative technologies, Schtern windows equipped with the 82-series, two heat-saving glasses, a glass unit filled with a mixture of inert gases (argon + krypton) acquire thermal characteristics more than 2.5 times higher than the existing requirements for central Russia for residential premises, and competitive positions in the field of energy saving compared to the best European translucent structures.

SCHTERN FEST 58 SCHTERN FEST 70 SCHTERN FEST 82

A visit to the SCHTERN plant in Lipetsk pleasantly surprised us - the company exceeded all expectations in terms of production automation and the introduction of new technologies. It's always nice to see such production facilities operating in Russia.

Window carries out the full production cycle of manufacturing PVC window and door blocks.

The production is equipped with modern equipment from the world's leading manufacturers from Austria and Germany. On the territory of the plant there are: three automated lines for the production of window and door balcony blocks from PVC, the total capacity of which is 3,000 standard products per day; workshop for the production of non-standard products with a capacity of more than 200 structures per day.

Four automated production lines for the production of double-glazed windows with a total capacity of 6,800 double-glazed windows per day.

Our own workshop for the production of PVC profiles uses equipment from the following brands: Plasmec, Penta, Cincinnati, Greiner Extrusion GmbHс

using high-quality materials: stabilizers and modifiers from Kaneka (Belgium), titanium dioxide from Dupont (USA), as well as soft PVC for static and dynamic sealing gaskets from Begra (Germany).

The workshop's productivity is 10.6 million meters of profiles per year. The production of double-glazed windows is carried out on the lines of Lisec. We use M1 glass from the largest European manufacturers Guardian and AGC, aluminum spacer frames and sealants from Italian companies Alupro and Fenzi. The production of PVC window and door blocks is carried out using equipment from leading global companies such as Schirmer, Rotox, Federhenn, Elumatec, Urban.

In the manufacture of window blocks, fittings from the world's leading manufacturer - the German company Roto Frank - are used.

The pride of the company and at the same time another revolutionary step was the introduction into the production of window structures of the technology of gluing a double-glazed window into the sash, as well as welding the impost into the frame and sash. The technology of gluing a double-glazed window into a sash makes it possible to produce a sash that is wide and tall, relative to conventional PVC systems.

The stern profile has a narrow frame (narrow frame, narrow sash), which is good when there is not enough light in the room and you need a large light opening.

PVC window profile SCHTERN RED

Plastic windows from SCHTERN are considered one of the best in the entire line of similar products. Moreover, this applies to both the Russian and international markets.

You can buy SCHTERN RED by ordering them for yourself, and at the same time receive an additional range of other services (consulting, measuring the window opening, calculating the cost of plastic windows, delivery and installation of plastic windows with the participation of qualified specialists). At the same time, the price for SCHTERN plastic windows is determined directly by which profile model will be chosen.

The SCHTERN profile is traditionally made in one of three standard options: “economy”, “classic” or “premium”. The latter is, accordingly, the highest quality, the most reliable and the most individualized in terms of design.

The Stern “Premium” profile, in turn, is also represented by several models, the most prestigious and visually attractive of which is the SCHTERN RED model.

Characteristics:

Please note that the main feature of the SCHTERN RED profile, reflected directly in its name, is the possibility of design in various colors. In particular, the design of the glazing bead seal along the contour in red is typical. This is a kind of “highlight” of this type of profile. In this case, the space around the contour is done in light gray.

Stern plastic windows are associated with the use of original window fittings. These are invariably Roto Designo window accessories, which are well-known and quite popular in their own right.

Accessories for Roto Designo windows are visually invisible window hinges of minimal size, built-in linings, aesthetically pleasing unique SCHTERN handles and plugs, which can also be made in red at the client’s request. The record holder in terms of elegance among the accessories offered is Roto NT, in which “Designo” type hinges are designed for doors weighing up to 150 kg.

Separately, we note the presence of a special child lock on the window profile, as well as a lock that additionally protects the room from break-ins from the outside.

The Stern plastic profile is always made in an original style, and the window system itself has been repeatedly recognized as one of the best at various international specialized exhibitions. The SCHTERN RED corporate style makes the window unique and attractive, highlighting it favorably against the general standard background.

Comfort and safety, reliability and the maximum possible number of functions, ease of use and ease of installation - all this is about Stern Red. In addition to this, it should be noted that SCHTERN RED plastic windows perfectly retain heat in the room, provide decent sound insulation and can limit the penetration of excessive portions of sunlight into the room, while guaranteeing the retention of harmful UV radiation by 15%.

In addition, upon your individual pre-order, the SCHTERN RED window can also be equipped with a stylish thermometer.

Why should you choose Stern windows?

Availability.

The SCHTERN window system has smooth lines and rounded contours and meets all the needs of discerning consumers. The Stern profile is produced at a company with extensive experience in the production of plastic windows.

Warm.

Thanks to the profile width of 70 mm, you can install a double-glazed window of your choice of 24 or 36 mm with glass that helps retain heat in the house. In addition, 3 air chambers and a seal in the double-glazed window allow you to retain heat in your home. And the tight fit to the glass eliminates blowing and reduces the “edge effect” along the entire perimeter of the plastic window.

Durability.

The service life of plastic windows made from the SCHTERN profile is 40 years, the service life of the seal is 30 years in northern and temperate climates. The profile class is frost-resistant, temperature range from - 60° to + 70° C

Safety.

Any type of anti-burglary fittings can be used with this profile. The bead with a rounded shape gives an attractive design to the window and has a protective function that prevents the glass unit from being squeezed out. Thanks to rigid reinforcement, the anti-burglary properties of plastic windows are increased.

Noise protection.

A wide double-glazed window and an increased width of the door on the side of the room prevent noise from penetrating into your home. The tight fit of the narthex along this perimeter of the contour without interruption is another important characteristic of noise penetration.

Design.

The glazing bead for all double-glazed windows has a curly shape with a rounded edge. “Drainage” channels are made on the front side, preserving the aesthetic appearance of the window. The gray-white elastic band gives the light look.

Environmentally friendly.

PVC windows from the SCHTERN profile are an environmentally friendly product that is safe for human health.

Production of double-glazed windows

Production lines for double-glazed windows have the most modern set of equipment from the European leader LISEC LISEC. Some sections of the lines are unique and installed for the first time in the world.

The work uses high-quality jumbo glass (jumbo) measuring 6000x3210 mm, which minimizes waste when cutting glass.

All stages of double-glazed glass production are automated and do not require direct operator contact with the glass.

The cut glass is transported to a special “trolley” “Shuttle”, which, at the speed of Sapsan, lays it out in storage. It should be noted that this modification of cutting tables and “Shuttles” was installed for the first time in the world at the STERN company.

A unique press is installed on one of the double-glazed windows, which not only assembles double-glazed windows, but also simultaneously fills them with a mixture of inert gases using the patented LiSEC technology in a gaseous environment.

This eliminates losses and underfilling of double-glazed windows, and therefore reduces production costs. It is also possible to fill any of the chambers with a mixture of inert gases Krypton/Argon in a 50/50 percentage ratio.

Reviews of PVC profile SCHTERN (Stern)

Ignat . Stern installed the windows because the house on the farm had wooden ones and through them snow would fall into the house during strong snowstorms. There were 12 windows. The price suited me completely, everything was fine. After installing the windows, I was surprised that they suppress street noise very well and do not allow the wind to pass through. Of course, there is no more snow at home - and in severe frosts, cold air does not enter the house through the windows. Our heating is turned on almost before the New Year, but even now, with PVC windows, you can be at home without problems. This was the first time I used windows without any seals supplied by me personally. I'm happy with my choice, now I can rest easy.

Ilona . For the dacha we chose this brand of windows - Schtern. A country house requires a large number of windows, so we decided to choose a not very expensive option so that it would not be too costly. And Schtern windows are just economy class windows. But at the same time, their quality suits us quite well. The windows are durable, they have good mechanisms, that is, they open/close easily and simply. During the year of operation, the question has never arisen that it is impossible to open or close the window. We installed single-chamber windows and they soundproof well and do not allow water to pass through, and in the cold season, they do not allow the cold to pass through.

    We ordered the production and installation of plastic windows for our apartment using the SCHTERN 58 window profile. This profile seemed to us to be optimal in terms of price-quality ratio. The windows have three air chambers, which provides excellent thermal insulation, and sounds from the street are practically inaudible when the window is closed. The fittings are also of very high quality, all the handles work perfectly, nothing sticks or breaks. In winter, the windows performed remarkably well, they kept the heat in, the temperature in the apartment did not drop below 23 degrees even in the most severe frosts, although previously it had reached 18 degrees. We are pleased with the new windows.

    Answer

Negative reviews

Stern from Lipetsk also left a lot of critical reviews about windows:

They make mistakes with the sizes and components

A good third of negative statements about schtern profiles are devoted to this problem. One of the guests from the Oknas.ru portal complains: “They brought the window, took out the old one, and started putting in a new one. So it turned out to be 5 cm larger than the window opening . When I asked what was the matter, they answered that my profile had been installed for other customers! Like, he suited them. And it’s winter outside, I don’t have time to wait for another one. Thank God, I made an agreement with my familiar builders - they enlarged the opening for me. But, gentlemen, you can also go crazy!”

In this situation, of course, the dealer is to blame. But in order not to be left with a hole in the wall in winter, you can measure the window opening yourself, at least from the inside. It is the opening, not the frame. Take several measurements at different points. Before they take out your old window, try on the new one. All its sides should fit into the opening like family.

Check for the presence of a blocker immediately after installation. This part is located on the vertical side of the sash

One of the users shares: “I installed the Stern window a long time ago. Once I checked the fittings: there is neither a slot vent nor a handle lock . This is a thing that prevents the window from sagging over time. I don’t understand why my set is incomplete?”

Slit ventilation is often an additional function. If you didn't ask, they won't install it for you. The blocker is also most likely not provided by this company. We advise you to contact the office where you ordered the windows. Most likely, they will agree to install it for you. Even if for a small fee.

Cheap therefore bad

Another third of the reviews are devoted to this topic. For example, Mishanya 59 on the Tybet.ru forum writes that Schtern profiles are worse than imported ones, like all Russian ones. Therefore it is much cheaper.

But here we will disagree. After all, many European brands are also produced in Russia. But for some reason there is more trust in them.

We won’t even quote other reviews - about blowing, creaking fittings. After all, you see, this is what they write about every profile. And most often this is due to incorrect installation.

A review of types of fittings will help our readers check the window configuration after installation. What if something is missing, but you need it?

And to understand what you need from accessories, see this material.
