Currently, in the Russian market of window products, despite the increasing number of sales of wooden and aluminum structures, plastic windows remain the leader. This is facilitated by a lot of advantages that PVC products have. The main ones, of course, are excellent heat and sound insulation, long service life, the ability to use additional accessories that increase the functionality of the window (mosquito net, thermometer, etc.), as well as excellent appearance coupled with an affordable price.
As you know, the basis of plastic windows is the profile. In the entire light-transmitting structure, its share accounts for approximately 10% of the total area of the product. The remaining 90% is occupied by double glazing.
It is no secret that all PVC profiles included in the windows sold are the same. In order to choose the best option that would fully meet the requirements for appearance, level of sound and heat insulation, as well as price, the buyer needs to have an understanding of each window element and be able to freely operate with technical terms associated with each of its components.
In this article we will take a detailed look at the main points that you should pay attention to when choosing a window profile, describe its design, and explain the meaning of basic technical terms.

Narrow PVC window profiles
On what profiles can a minimum profile width be achieved if a window is made with a division in the middle (two sashes)? Otherwise all the usual profiles give
20cm (2 x 7cm width of the profile of the sashes + 3-4 cm between them). Plastic windows significantly reduce window clearance (or whatever it is called).
If the height of the window allows, then make the transom not separate, but integral with the frame. There are no flaps on the transom, the profile is single in this case, I think it will be much less than 20cm. Or do you not have a transom, but it’s the blocking of the window opening by the left and right sashes that confuses you? even in this case 20cm. will not be. This can be seen at any stand. You can make a capercaillie on one side. The dimensions of the window and how many sashes are in the frame.
window 160(width) x 150(height). One sash is 110, the other is 50. Between the glass on the windows that I saw - between the glass there are about 19-20 cm. The clearance is very much eaten up. The transom is generally a fender.

And, excuse me, I didn’t understand what it means to “make the transom not separate, but one with the frame.” If a transom is made, then it is the same as a separate sash above the sash.
2skigs Yeah, thanks. And to Tibet too. It seems that such “peculiar” requests were not discussed there.
With such dimensions, the transom does not threaten you; it is the upper part of the window after the horizontal impost. It happens that with large window sizes, the transom has a separate frame and is connected to the main one using a connecting profile. But I repeat, this is not your case, but in houses with ceilings closer to 4 meters. There are no doors of 1100, this is fantastic. The fittings will not withstand the load, and no one will do this to you. It makes more sense 800+800, or 800+grouse. By the way, I still haven’t heard any complaints that PVC windows are very different from wooden ones in terms of significantly reducing the clearance, maybe you just never closed the windows? 2skigs Shtulp is very much an amateur. on loggias and balconies, yes, but in the window I would really think about it.

Tell me what are his shortcomings? Is there a breeze between the sashes or is the window easy to pull out?

The rigidity of the window (door) is lower, since there is no impost. A frame for lovers of swinging balcony doors, which were usually found in Stalinist houses. The openings there are very wide, and if you install one leaf + a blind one, the passage will become very narrow. People in such houses are not used to walking through a loophole of 750 after 1.5 meters.
2skigs Wow! And they do this. True, as far as I understand, this means that the windows can only be opened in pairs?

A. Got it. Well, yes, it’s not a threat.

They made us 100. He lives normally for two years. Opens only for trash.

I don't want 80+80. I’m very used to different-sized sashes. and 50+ capercaillie - do not wash.
