Buy Finnish wooden window Tiivi from 900 Euro/m2

Finnish windows, according to their design features, belong to the Scandinavian line of window design.
It is recognized immediately when the door is opened. A Scandinavian window is characterized by the presence of two separate sashes - an outer and an inner one, with a large space between them. The Finnish one was stopped in 1977. It started as a family business. The main activity of the company has always been the production of high-quality wooden windows and doors.

Wooden windows under the Tiivi brand are well-deservedly popular among customers. Tiivi windows are implemented using Scandinavian technology. The outer door is made of aluminum, which can be painted in any color according to the RAL catalog. The inner door is made of wood. The color of the inner door is selected according to a special tinting sheet. The combination of aluminum and wood is optimal. Aluminum is not susceptible to natural elements such as rain or snow, but it does not retain heat very well. Wood, in turn, holds heat well, but requires protection. Aluminum and wood, protection and warmth. This symbiosis makes Finnish windows worthy of special attention when it comes to the combination of warmth and durability.

The double-leaf design imposes restrictions on the fittings used. Tiivi wooden windows are produced only in a turning or fixed version. Therefore, it is proposed to use special air valves for ventilation.

One of the nice features of Finnish Tiivi windows is the ability to install blinds inside the window. Only a round handle is attached to the outer part of the window, which allows you to adjust the light output by turning or lifting the slats.

The material for Finnish wooden Tiivi windows is pine. Only in balcony doors the lower part of the frame is made of oak.

The design of Finnish windows involves the presence of two frames, the inner one in which a single-chamber or double-glazed window is installed and the outer (wind) in which glass or a single-chamber double-glazed window is installed. Thanks to the interframe space, it is possible to install blinds in windows of Finnish design, which provide protection from sunlight and prevent heating of the room, since they are located inside and not outside the double-glazed window. The simplicity and reliability of the fittings allows Finnish windows to last for more than 50 years; during operation, only the seal requires replacement, the service life of which is 7-10 years. The outer frame in Finnish windows, as a rule, is made of powder-coated aluminum, and the inner frame is covered with a glaze coating with varnish or opaque paint, the color of which can be selected from the RAL map. Finnish technology uses laminated veneer lumber from solid pine or oak to make frames and doors.

Natural wood “breathes” - it allows air to pass through micropores, which is beyond the control of such “inanimate” materials as plastic and aluminum. Another undeniable advantage of wood is its maintainability. It is possible to eliminate visible scratches on its surface, which, for example, cannot be done in a plastic window, which is of course very important.

The combination of two frames and triple glazing makes Finnish windows durable in harsh climates. Today, Finnish wooden windows are gaining popularity in the window industry market every year. Finnish wooden windows consist of 2 frames, where one of them is equipped with sheet glass, and the other with single-chamber double-glazed windows.

For ventilation, such windows have a window. Wooden windows made using Finnish technology can be either solid wood or laminated 3-layer timber. The main species for production: pine, larch, oak. One of the main advantages of wooden Finnish windows is that a thick air layer is formed between the sashes - an excellent heat insulator. Thanks to this design, Finnish windows are considered the “warmest”. When manufacturing windows using Finnish technology, rotary fittings, screw handles and screw-in hinges are used. The doors open in one plane, which is why the window is intended for ventilation.

The seals used in production are from the German brand DEVENTER, made from high-quality material, and provide optimal noise and smoke insulation, comfortable clamping, high recovery after compression, and resistance to low temperatures.

To coat wooden windows using Finnish technology, varnishes and paints from the German brand SIKKENS, as well as MAV, are used. Thanks to the variety of colors of both varnishes and paints, it is possible to satisfy the requirements dictated by a particular interior. Finnish windows do not require maintenance; they only require annual lubrication of rubbing parts and adjustment of fittings.

Windows using Finnish technology

Content

Finnish windows are not very common in Russia. We are accustomed to standard GOST standards, the design of which is classic, where the glass is installed in its own frame, and the frames are screwed together. From time to time they needed to be disassembled and cleaned from the inside. Later, wooden and plastic products were adopted from Europe, which had many advantages. Thanks to German fittings, they could not only open, but also recline. This replaced the classic windows. But what is a window made using Finnish technology like? What are the design features, its performance characteristics and varieties? We will look at the answers to these questions and also find out the best manufacturers.

Finnish windows - design features

The main feature of the window is that it consists of two sashes. In this case, the outer sash is most often made of aluminum. Usually only one glass is inserted into it. The inner sash is made of wood and a double-glazed window is installed in it. There are Finnish windows made entirely of wood. Glazing can be double, triple and even quadruple. The design of such a product is shown in the photo below.

Let's look at each of the elements separately:

This is a frame profile that is made using special technology. The profile width is different, ranging from 160 to 205 mm.
Under this number there is an internal double-glazed window.
External glass, single.
Silicone sealant is applied to the outside and inside of the glass. Sometimes a rubber seal is used instead.
Protective outer profile made of aluminum.
Aluminum profile for drainage.
Aluminum side profile.
Elements of Finnish window fittings.
Frame for creating a distance between the glasses in a double-glazed window.

As for the opening principle, Finnish windows have swing mechanisms that allow you to open the sash towards yourself. As well as a swing-and-swing design. Part of the frame in some models can rise up.

To ventilate the premises, the frame can be equipped with a window, transom or a special valve for ventilation. The transom and window must have an opening limiter. Thanks to him, they will be in the open position. Finnish windows can also have built-in blinds between the sashes.

This design makes Finnish windows the warmest of all, because between the sashes, which are hermetically sealed, a wide layer of air is created. And air, as you know, is an excellent heat and sound insulator. The design that we discussed above is the most common, but there are other types of Finnish windows. In them, a single-chamber double-glazed window is installed on the sash both inside and outside.

As for the material for manufacturing, Finnish windows are usually made from laminated pine lumber. It has low thermal conductivity, since the structural structure of wood is porous. Oak and larch are also used, but the cost of such Finnish windows is more expensive.

Performance characteristics of Finnish windows

Finnish windows are considered the best based on heat and sound insulation. They have excellent performance characteristics. It’s not for nothing that structures are used in the harsh Scandinavian climate. They have the following advantages:

The best thermal insulation performance.
Excellent soundproofing properties.
Resistant to precipitation and adverse weather conditions.
Finnish designs are not afraid of temperature changes.
There is natural ventilation in the room.
Variety of products.
Durability.
Blinds can be installed in the inter-chamber space.
The box is deep, ranging from 130 to 210 mm. The wall will not freeze, so there is no need to insulate the slopes.

As for the shortcomings, there are few of them. They involve regular processing of wooden products, since the varnish or paint on Finnish windows wears off over time. The second disadvantage is the high cost. But if you take into account the performance characteristics and advantages, then this is logical.

Finnish wooden windows with double glazing

The frame is made of laminated timber in three layers.

Its thickness is 130–210 mm.
The doors are made of two-layer laminated timber, the thickness of which is 46 mm.
The moisture content of the wood used is 11–14%.
The thickness of the outer glass can be from 4 to 6 mm.

Since wood needs protection, Finnish windows are treated with special compounds. Which extend the service life and improve the characteristics of products. Water-acrylic based varnish or paints are used. Their advantage is resistance to atmospheric influences. They will not fade in the sun, are odorless and protected from moisture. The color palette is different.

Processing of Finnish wooden windows is carried out in the following stages:

wood primer
surface grinding
applying a second coat of primer
re-grinding
2 layers of painting - enamel and finishing with varnish

Why is wood used for production? There are several reasons for this. The Finns chose wood for windows primarily because it is a natural and environmentally friendly material. In addition, Finland is a cold country, so the choice fell on natural material with minimal heat conductivity.

Other reasons:

Wood allows the product to breathe. Thanks to this, the room always has fresh and clean air and an optimal microclimate. Ventilation is carried out naturally. There is no need to open the doors. Regular ventilation is very important for the room. But doing this in winter is problematic. Finnish windows do not need to be opened in the winter to provide ventilation.
Condensation is a common phenomenon for plastic windows. But as for Finnish structures, condensation does not form on them. True, if the heating system is done correctly. There are several reasons why it can form: high humidity, lack of warm air circulation, installation of an incorrect double-glazed window, or improper installation of the structure.
Using laminated veneer lumber from pine or larch, you get a durable product that, with proper care, will not collapse or deform during use.
Wood retains heat better and gets colder less.
Great appearance. Wood looks noble, beautiful and natural. In combination with the style of the house, a Finnish wooden window looks great.

Finnish windows with two frames

Finnish two-frame windows can fit into any interior. But they are not only beautiful, but also very practical. Due to the two frames, a large air gap is formed, therefore the thermal insulation qualities of the structure are much higher, as is the sound insulation. A two-frame window is made of a wooden box, which is the basis of the product, as well as two separate frames. They can open inwards. The frame on the inside has a single- or double-glazed window, and the outside consists of glass or double-glazed glass.

Thanks to the fittings, the two frames fit comfortably together. The two frames can open independently of each other, or like a regular window.

Finnish windows with two frames are practical and reliable. There are many factors that influence the value of heat transfer resistance. This includes the size of the product, the material from which the window block is made, the cross-section of the frame, the type of glazing, the number of seals, and their location. Designs with two frames are gaining more and more popularity, since despite their high cost, they have excellent performance characteristics.

Finnish plastic windows

Some plastic windows are called Finnish. But that's not true. Real Finnish windows, made using their technology, are made of wood, have two frames and a wide frame. One of the frames can be made of aluminum. But plastic is not used in this case.

But, in order to reduce the cost of construction, some manufacturers can make a window using Finnish technology, replacing one wooden frame with a metal-plastic one. You can meet such models. Their cost is cheaper, and ease of use is no different.

Additional equipment for Finnish windows

The main advantages of Finnish windows include the fact that they can be supplemented with various functional equipment that improves their performance and simplifies maintenance.

The main element in the system are blinds. They allow you not to use curtains or curtains for windows, thereby not hiding the beauty of the Finnish window. In this design, the blinds are installed in a special way. Since a large space is formed inside the frame between the shutters, it becomes possible to install special blinds there. It is noteworthy that to adjust the blinds inside between the frames, it is not necessary to open the shutters. The mechanism is well thought out, because all manipulations (raise, lower, curtain) are done using a handle or control system on the frame indoors. In the photo below you can see the design of such blinds. They are made specifically for Finnish windows; ordinary ones will not fit.

Blinds are installed using brackets that are fixed to the top of the outer frame. The rope is passed into the rod through an adapter. The rod passes through the interframe space and is guided into the room. Clamps are made on the frame to hold the blinds in the selected position.

What are the advantages of such a solution? The structure is reliably protected inside the frame from external influences. Dust, dirt and moisture will not get on it. And the likelihood of mechanical damage is reduced to zero. The selection and ordering of blinds is carried out at the stage of purchasing a Finnish window.

To ensure natural ventilation in the closed position of the valves, a supply valve is used. It is installed in the window frame or sealing gap. The valve can be manual or automatic. In the first case, you will have to adjust the fresh air supply yourself. However, the cost of the valve is cheaper. The automatic valve has a sensor that can detect the humidity in the room. It regulates the amount of air in the room itself. The principle of operation of the valve is visible in this photo:

Fittings for Finnish windows and doors

Particular attention should be paid to the fittings, because they are what powers the design of doors or windows made using Finnish technology. The fittings for such windows are rotatable. The tilting system used in German windows is not needed here. Its main purpose is to ventilate the room. In Finnish windows, such a mechanism is superfluous, since a window (if provided) or a transom is responsible for ventilation. Another option is a supply valve.

Thanks to the fittings that connect the sashes to each other, they can open synchronously or simultaneously.

The fittings include loops and screw handles. For Finnish windows, the fittings chosen are simple and affordable. Manufacturers are different. The main condition is silicone or rubber seals, thanks to which air will not leak between the windows.

Manufacturers of Finnish windows and popular models

Finnish windows with frames made of wood or wood and aluminum are produced by several companies from Finland. The product line is popular not only in their country, but also in other countries with harsh winter climates. Noting the most popular of them, we will highlight the following companies:

Tiiv.

They get high marks. Tiwi's window frames are made from high quality northern pine. It is painted with water-soluble paints from Teknos; they are environmentally friendly and durable. The most affordable model range from the manufacturer.

Today it is produced in two variations: 1+2 and 2+2. The budget cost is due to the fact that the windows have a more simplified profile, and they also have a minimum number of sashes with an opening mechanism. Tiivi optimi is a rotating two-frame structure installed in a wooden box.

The outer frame is made of aluminum, has glass 4 mm thick, if it is a 1+2 line (number of glasses).
In the 2+2 option, a double-glazed window consists of two 4 mm glasses, with a distance of 16 mm between them. The inner frame is made of wood. It has a single-chamber double-glazed window consisting of two glasses (4 mm), between which the distance is 16 mm.

The design has a slight difference from the Tiivi optimi. It consists of a more diverse range of colors, as well as additional equipment. As for the technical characteristics, they are almost the same as those of the analogue. Finnish windows with micro-ventilation valve, mosquito net and inter-frame blinds are on sale. The width of the box can be from 130 to 205 mm.

Tiivi 1+3

The design is similar to the first two. There are two frames, a rotating mechanism. Wooden box. The difference is the number of double-glazed windows. They have not one, but two air chambers. They are filled with argon. There are 3 pieces of glass in the chamber, thickness 4 mm. The distance between them is 14 mm. Energy saving class “A”, if required by the customer, is improved by using a different type of double-glazed window and increasing the depth of the wooden frame. The heat saving coefficient is 1.18 W/m2K. Sound insulation parameters – 35 dB. If you increase the size of the box, then the parameter 44 dB is achieved. Ideal for an apartment with a noisy street.

Tiivi 2+2

It has two single-chamber double-glazed windows, the space between which is filled with argon. The distance between the glasses (thickness 4 mm) in the internal double glazed unit is 16 mm, and in the external one – 12 mm. Frame depth – 170–205 mm. The remaining parameters (heat transfer coefficient and energy saving class) are the same as the previous option.
