The reliability, functionality and durability of a plastic window depends on the parameters of the fittings. Window mechanisms determine how tightly the sash fits to the frame, how easily it opens, how long it resists burglary and increased wind loads. Quality is influenced by materials, manufacturer, and price. I suggest considering manufacturers of window fittings for plastic windows in order to avoid drafts, constant breakdowns and unnecessary expenses for repairs.
Types of fittings for plastic windows
The characteristics of window mechanisms are varied. This helps you calculate your budget and decide which features you need most. Manufacturers of window fittings focus on different target audiences. One product is suitable for elite mansions, another for middle-class housing, and a third for any residents of panel high-rise buildings.
I don't recommend saving. Those manufacturers of accessories for plastic windows that have proven themselves and are generally recognized provide more guarantees that repairs, adjustments and replacement of parts will not be needed throughout the entire period of use.
The fittings are selected according to the following characteristics:
- opening method;
- installation method;
- degree of reliability;
- materials.
The classic method of opening is a hinged one. Another common method is a folding one, suitable for ventilation. The main hardware components here are complemented by limiters that prevent sudden swinging due to gusts of wind. The sliding mechanism, which has its own differences, is gaining popularity.
Fasteners can be installed in an open or closed manner. The open one is more accessible, but closed structures are more attractive in appearance, which allows you to carefully consider the design of the room.
Manufacturers of window fittings for plastic frames pay particular attention to strength. On high floors windows are exposed to strong winds, on lower floors there is a risk of burglary. The mechanisms must withstand the weight of the doors and stop intruders, if not completely, then for enough time for the security systems to react. Reliability is achieved by using special locking devices and high-quality materials. I recommend avoiding flimsy plastic.
For families with children, it is better to install window handles with a key. An alternative is removable handles and special locks that prevent a child from accidentally opening the sash and falling out of the window. The main thing is to keep the keys out of the baby’s reach to avoid tragedy. If pets live in the apartment, it is worth installing a reinforced mosquito net or “anti-cat” so that the animal cannot jump out while hunting for flying birds.
Appearance becomes an important characteristic. Manufacturers of fittings for PVC windows produce, in addition to white handles and hinges, parts of any shade (the most popular metal ones are gold, silver, titanium, copper, chrome, etc.) and textures. This allows you to keep the entire house or apartment in the same style.
Additional items
The main elements are responsible for opening/closing the doors and their correct position. The installation of additional elements allows you to expand the functionality and facilitate operation. Despite the fact that it is not necessary to install them, it is more advisable to opt for expanding the standard set, especially if it is important to provide additional protection against burglary or the safety of small children. Additional components include:
- Turn limiters. Their purpose is to fix the open sash in the extreme position. By installing a brake along with a limiter, you can ensure the stability of the structure when opening up to 150 degrees.
- The rotation lock prevents the window from opening spontaneously and limits the rotation angle. It is recommended to install in apartments where there are small children, as well as in houses located in areas with frequent strong winds.
- Plastic linings are one of the elements on which you can safely save. Their purpose is to cover the visible parts of the mechanisms, giving the window an individual design. In sets offered by reliable manufacturers, the number of caps corresponds to the number of mechanisms included in the set. If the choice of decorative elements is too wide, you should think about the quality of the fittings.
- Children's castle. This part is not included in the standard set. It is worth buying it if there are small children in the house. By accidentally opening a window, a child may fall out of it. The lock securely fixes the door; it is impossible to open it without a key. Manufacturers offer different lock options. The simplest one is included in the design of the handle. More complex functional mechanisms are mounted on the sash.
- Microlift. The part does not affect the functionality of the window, but it reduces the load on other mechanisms, thereby extending their service life.
Recently, automatic fittings, the operation of which is controlled by an electric drive, have become popular. Automatic mechanisms can be programmed to ventilate. In case of unauthorized opening, a signal will be given.
The best manufacturers of window fittings
To choose fittings for plastic windows from reliable manufacturers, I recommend studying the ratings. In addition to characteristics, reviews, external features, I advise you to pay attention to the country of manufacture.
Many European brands organize production in other countries. This reduces production costs, but quality may also suffer, especially if factories have moved to China or India. Sometimes things are no better with quality at factories located in Russia. There are many dubious products on the market made in Turkey. You can trust fittings made in these countries only if the factories have full control over compliance with European quality standards.

The mechanisms differ in quality, price segment, and area of application.
Market outsiders
Don’t be surprised that many giants of the hardware market were not included in our rating. Specifically ROTO. To reinterpret a well-known phrase, we can say that “You may be a major, but, alas, you must know the market.”
ROTO fittings - for domestic consumers, produced in Russia
Obviously, the famous company overdid it, opening, in the pursuit of profitability, a dozen factories in all parts of the world. Including in China and Russia. And having failed to establish control over the quality of products produced in the branches.
As a result, it is impossible to buy a real ROTO in the Russian Federation, and there are such reviews about Chinese and domestic crafts that it is embarrassing to even remember.
In addition, when the author of these lines tried to find out the price of the company’s products, the remaining unknown manager quoted an amount 1.5 times greater than the cost of a purebred German Siegenia. Perhaps many copywriters suffer from excessive suspiciousness, but still, it seems that this is not entirely the case. This is more like a case where they are trying to take the consumer for a sucker.
“Personnel decides everything!” - Grandfather Stalin used to say. And he was right. One such response from one such manager can cost the company its place in the market.
Window fittings Siegenia-Aubi
The Siegenia company appeared in Germany in 1904. The products have been renowned for their quality for many decades. It has become more diverse after merging with Aubi. The merger diversified the product range, increasing production scale. As a result, fittings for plastic windows from Siegenia have now gained recognition all over the world.
Specific Features
The brand's products are suitable for use in windows of various configurations: round, arched, triangular, trapezoidal, standard rectangular. The mechanisms adapt to the shape of the opening without losing strength. The protective elements can withstand a load of up to one and a half tons.
The design is equipped with 7 clamping points. This ensures complete connection of the sash to the frame. Resistance to aggressive environmental conditions is confirmed by tests: products can withstand up to a thousand hours in water-salt fog - only then can they begin to rust.
Pros of Siegenia-Aubi
The main advantage of this brand is that the products are manufactured exclusively in Europe. The company does not move factories to other countries. This makes it easier to identify counterfeits: if the accompanying documentation states that a handle or hardware set was made in China or Turkey, this is a fake.
Other benefits:
- freedom in designing window openings and frames;
- interchangeability of components, which facilitates repair, installation, and maintenance;
- increased burglary resistance;
- tightness;
- all elements are protected from corrosion;
- ease of movement;
- support for micro-slit ventilation;
- wear resistance, durability.
The brand's products comply with international safety standards, which is confirmed by certificates. Finding negative reviews is almost impossible.
Disadvantages of Siegenia-Aubi
- The main inconvenience associated with products of this brand is the need for regular maintenance. All window elements need to be lubricated approximately every six months.
- Another disadvantage that can scare off buyers is the cost. There are much more expensive products than the offerings from Siegenia, but on the Russian market this fittings are positioned as elite, which forces many to weed out this option when choosing.
Window companies recommend installing this product in cottages, but I believe that it is suitable for any houses and apartments whose owners care about safety, functionality and durability.
For the normal elite
Austrian fittings MACO INVISIBLE
But our wealthy compatriot spends the second half of his day in his prestigious office. And he can live not in a cottage, but in an elite high-rise building - a settlement, as they now say.
Without at all detracting from the advantages of Siegenia-Aubi, for such options (prestigious office, settlement), experts often recommend fittings from the Austrian company MASO.
Reason: a large set of different kinds of options that will ensure a comfortable stay in a room with windows equipped with such fittings.
Its advantages:
- Easy closing function
- Up to six degrees of burglary protection
- Final wax coating of parts providing increased anti-corrosion resistance
- Presentable appearance
- All kinds of limiters, protection against impact on the jamb, micro-lifting of the sash when closing, multi-position designs for ventilation
All MACO fittings are produced at two factories in Austria.
Summary: MASO fittings are No. 1 for office premises and prestigious apartment buildings. In terms of price characteristics, it occupies one of the first positions. But she's worth it!
Window fittings ROTO
Accessories for plastic windows from ROTO are known everywhere. The company originated in Germany, but now its factories are spread all over the world. It also has its own production in Russia. The Moscow region plant has been operating for more than ten years.
Specific Features
The standard set of accessories for plastic windows from the manufacturer Ro includes:

Pros of ROTO
The advantages include:

- technical features lead to the fact that when closing, the load is evenly distributed throughout the entire mechanism, increasing reliability and ease of movement;
- ease of installation;
- wide palette of colors;

I'm in touch right now!
Window fittings from the Ukrainian manufacturer Axor have similar advantages, but ROTO products are more diverse. The reputation of German products is confirmed by ratings - most of them award products five points out of five.
Disadvantages of ROTO
- Not all ratings compilers agree with ROTO's leadership. I have come across sources that put the products of this company in outsider positions. The reason is the huge number of fakes. The market is flooded with low-quality products from China, which, however, are sold at inflated prices. To avoid possible troubles with quality, I recommend asking the sellers if they have certificates of where the goods were brought from.
- I've seen reviews that say that over time, metal trims can come off the hinges, and in turn, the gold plating or other decorative coating comes off from them. However, this does not affect functionality. I assume that the problem is in purchasing a fake.
For those who don't have to choose
Turkish fittings Kale
But not everyone in Russia enjoys the right to choose.
What happens if, say, the authorities of a large city decide to resettle pensioners from a depressed central area somewhere on the outskirts, and open shopping and entertainment complexes in the center? And he transfers the order for the construction of a new microdistrict “for grandmothers and grandchildren” to some Turkish construction company? And she, in turn, orders accessories from someone who is closer, who is related?
In most cases, Kale Kilit turns out to be “closer and dearer”. Or simply Kale, as it is already commonly called in the vast expanses of 1/6 of the land. Its fittings are simple and reliable. Cheap. It is easy to install. And it was done quite conscientiously. It may not have a multi-position micro-ventilation option, but it won’t draft like a chimney on blizzard February evenings.
Summary: Kale is #1 for those who don't have to choose. It goes not only to new buildings. Currently, we are capturing the widest market, cooperating with many companies producing profiles and installing them throughout Russia.
And don't be afraid of this! If you are a modest Soviet pensioner and are not afraid that your diamond necklace with pearl pendants will be taken from your home, then you do not need fittings with six degrees of protection. And Kale has everything else!
Window fittings Maco
The brand is considered prestigious. The company is located in Austria. Maco accessories for plastic windows came to our country in 1994. It gained great popularity in office premises, but it can be used in any building.
Specific Features
The Austrian brand produces window and door fittings that support rotary, tilting, and sliding opening methods. Door locks, fasteners for windows with a swing system, blinds, and shutters are made. The main distinguishing feature is that all elements are hidden inside the door or window frames.
Window fittings from the manufacturer Mako are manufactured using universal technology. Production technologies are focused on rationalization and minimizing the number of elements. Parts are treated with wax to reduce friction, increase anti-corrosion properties, and durability.
Pros of Maco
The manufacturer's fittings can be used for plastic, wooden, and aluminum windows. It can withstand heavy doors and increased loads. The components are characterized by increased resistance to moisture - sealing is ensured by a wax coating and the use of several layers of stainless steel.
Other advantages:
- ease of closing;
- attractiveness due to hidden mechanisms;
- the presence of protection against burglary (up to the sixth degree), limiters against opening, slamming, and impacts;
- Possibility of micro-slit ventilation.
Advantages include durability. The products are designed for 45 thousand openings. The manufacturer provides a ten-year guarantee, but with moderate use the built-in resource will last for a hundred years.
Disadvantages of Maco
- The softness of the move can be a disadvantage if you use the window under high loads: the sash will begin to close every other time. The problem can be solved by adjustment, and here a second drawback awaits inexperienced residents: it is more difficult to independently adjust Mako mechanisms than products from German companies.
- For preventive maintenance, it is recommended to service the fittings twice a year. At the same time, the manufacturer advises to avoid contact of chemicals with the mechanisms. I advise you to wipe the product with a damp cloth; mild soap solutions are acceptable and should be immediately wiped dry. After cleansing, lubrication with silicone compounds will be required. If you follow the operating instructions, Mako products will not show any shortcomings.
Description
Plastic window fittings are quite complex structures consisting of a large number of elements. In some fittings, the number of components reaches up to a hundred.
Fasteners and other elements are essential for the normal functioning of plastic windows. After all, sometimes several times a day you have to open and close the doors, set them to ventilation mode: the fittings must perform all these manipulations without any complaints or breakdowns.
All fittings are created on a modular basis and include the following main elements:
- loop groups: upper and lower;
- mechanical constipation;
- rotating mechanism.
It may also be useful for you to learn more about how to adjust a PVC window yourself.
The material from which it is made is very important for the normal functioning of the fittings. Experts recommend choosing steel and aluminum as the most durable options.
Window fittings Vorne
Accessories for plastic windows produced by Vorne belong to the budget price segment. The brand is of Turkish origin. The products have been presented in Russia since 1999.
Specific Features
The fittings for plastic windows from this manufacturer are suitable for PVC profiles from various companies. The products can withstand the weight of doors up to 100 kg. Here are the following:
- micro-ventilation function, which is activated by turning the knob 45 degrees;
- interchangeability of all elements;
- use of an erroneous action blocker, protection against slamming;
- the ability to install a microlift to protect against incorrect opening of the handle;
- the presence of a roller hook for a smooth ride.
It is possible to open the sashes using transom, rotary, tilt-rotary, or hinged methods.
Pros of Vorne
The advantages of the fittings are similar to products for plastic windows from the manufacturer Axor. The main advantage is a good balance between cost and quality. Vorne's products cost significantly less than previous brands, but their popularity indicates sufficient reliability to inspire customer trust.
Other advantages:
- the hinges are adjustable in three planes, which increases the tightness;
- the sash is pressed evenly against the frame;
- ease of installation;
- support for anti-burglary elements;
- stable work;
- durability.
The compliance of Vorne products with Russian standards is confirmed by certificates.
Disadvantages of Vorne
- To reduce metal-to-metal friction, some elements are made of plastic. This further reduces the cost, but may discourage buyers by the possibility of reduced strength compared to products from other manufacturers that do not have any plastic parts at all.
- I have come across reviews about the difficulties of adjustment. Other users note arching of the bottom hinge. Sometimes installers recommend installing this fittings for country windows or in premises for seasonal use, citing the need for constant lubrication and strong friction. Perhaps this is due to the experience of the installers, or to fakes: the ratio of positive and negative feedback from the manufacturer is the same as that of many other companies.
Locks and blockers on windows
With a child lock, the door cannot be opened, but can be folded back
These are optional window elements. But it will not be superfluous if you have a small child in the apartment, or you are afraid of a break-in.
Locks often come complete with a locking handle. They come with one lock and several, which is much more reliable.
A multi-point lock consists of a shtulp (a plate in the form of a bar), on which the main and additional locks are located.
According to the type of locking, multi-point locks are deadbolt, when the main locking element is the crossbar. And without bolts, if there is no bolt, and the lock is locked with a latch or additional locks.
Multi-point lock diagram
In addition to window locks, traditional bolts - latches and cap hooks - are still in use. And children's castles are just a real peak in recent years. If you lock it with a key, the baby will not be able to open the door. However, such a blocker will not hurt to remove it.
Anti-removal pins are often installed on the end side of the balcony door, which prevent the hinges from being cut off. A pin, simply put, is a smooth rod with a tapered end. It will help if thieves do break into your balcony.
Winkhaus window fittings
Winkhaus is the oldest manufacturer of accessories for plastic windows in Germany. Production is also underway in Russia. This is one of the few companies that managed to introduce a control system into foreign factories to fully comply with European standards.
Specific Features
Our AutoPilot and Flex series products have gained great popularity. They are suitable for use by most window companies.
The main things that make the brand’s fittings stand out:
- the presence of an eccentric roller, making manual adjustment possible without special tools;
- a multi-stage tilt mechanism for the sash, which allows you to adjust the opening angle for ventilation (minimum 2-3 mm);
- Possibility to adjust the opening angle on the rotation limiter.
The trunnions and their counters are made of high quality steel. All components are connected along the perimeter. Doors up to 130 kg are supported.
Pros of Winkhaus
Window fittings for plastic windows from this manufacturer are very economical, despite their German origin and, accordingly, quality. Pens can be found at a lower cost than those from Turkish companies. The products are suitable for apartments, cottages, offices.
Main advantages:
- constant introduction of innovations and patented technologies;
- the possibility of ventilation in winter without noticeable cooling of the room;
- possibility of self-adjustment without specific tools;
- presence of anti-burglary elements;
- modern appearance of visible components;
- protection against corrosion;
- durability.
Disadvantages of Winkhaus
- I came across very few negative reviews. They appeared when Winkhouse factories first appeared in Russia, during the testing of technologies. Among the users of windows with this fittings, there are those whose mechanisms quickly wore out, but there are reviews that the service has lasted for ten years without adjustment or maintenance.
- The disadvantages include a modest range of features typical for the budget class. There may be defective or counterfeit products on the Russian market. Vigilance when purchasing and caution when using should solve all the negative aspects.
For the middle class
Winkhaus fittings - German brand
What should an average city dweller, let's say, a skilled worker with a good salary, a small entrepreneur, a manager who is valued at work, an official, do, if he wants to install a window with reliable, but not too expensive fittings in his apartment?
Answer: Winkhaus. The oldest hardware company produces products for every taste and budget - from very prestigious to quite budget ones. What speaks in its favor is that, according to expert estimates, it is the only one that was able to establish production in Russia, but according to German standards.
There are modifications of Winkhaus proPilot , which are cheaper in price than Turkish models, but higher in quality and functionality. When analyzing the market, we found enterprises that are ready to supply Winkhaus fittings in bulk for 600 rubles. It is clear that these are some basic configurations with a minimum set of options, but this is one and a half times cheaper than Turkish fittings!
Not to mention durability. There are testimonies of people who operated Winkhaus for ten years without service. And they would have used it longer if the window had not broken.
Perhaps Winkhaus is inferior to Siegenia-Aubi in terms of elasticity and MASO - in terms of softness and number of options. But installing a plastic window and forgetting about it for 10 years means a lot in domestic conditions!
Summary: WinkHaus is No. 1 for a person with average capabilities. Moreover, if these capabilities continue to grow, then a person will simply need to switch from one Winkhaus model to another: from proPilot to autoPilot, and then, as ultra-modern modifications of ActivPilot are introduced into the domestic market, one can safely switch to them.

Window fittings Kale
Accessories for plastic windows from Kale are produced in Turkey. It has been produced since 2000. Prior to this, since 1953, the company, having opened, produced only locks. The expansion of the product range quickly brought the brand fame and recognition outside Turkey.
Specific Features
The company began producing accessories from scratch. The workshops were immediately equipped with the latest generation equipment, which had a positive effect on the performance.
The company produces products for:
- tilt-and-turn windows;
- sliding translucent structures;
- automated window systems.
Metal parts are coated with zinc, chrome, and an additional layer of protective varnish. The products can withstand sashes weighing about 130 kg, which makes them similar to window fittings from the manufacturer Axor. The maximum sash size is 2.4 x 1.3 m. Micro-slit ventilation is available - in this mode the opening can be adjusted in four positions.
Pros of Kale
The main advantage of the brand is accessibility. The products are actively used in new buildings. The products are universal, they are suitable for any building.
Advantages:
- multi-layer protective coating prevents corrosion;
- galvanic application of chromium and zinc gives a pleasant appearance - the parts are softly silvered;
- the fittings are easily adjustable;
- protection against the sash falling out is provided;
- Sliding opening mechanism supported;
- the design is easy to close;
- The manufacturer promises ten years of trouble-free use.
This fittings are manufactured according to European Union standards.
Disadvantages of Kale
- People have conflicting opinions about this company. Many are alarmed by the low price - one of the most affordable on the market. I came across both calls not to be afraid of this fittings, and to avoid it. Some craftsmen claim that when installing windows with these mechanisms, the metal constantly breaks, others claim that over the years of work there has not been a single problem.
- The manufacturer states that the factory checks every fifteen minutes during manufacturing. This may indicate that low-quality products found on our market are counterfeit. To avoid troubles, it is better to ask sellers to show certificates and not to buy accessories in dubious places.
Seals
The seal plays a big role for every window structure. The tightness of the product depends on it. Foam seals can only fit wooden windows. The material is fragile and quickly absorbs moisture. Therefore, such a seal does not last more than a year. Polyethylene materials are also used for wooden structures. They are better than foam rubber because they do not deform and do not absorb moisture. Rubber seals are considered the most popular. They are made from silicone. They are environmentally friendly, do not deform, are not afraid of a humid environment, do not deform and are not susceptible to the negative influence of the external environment. Usually come in gray or white.
Axor window fittings
The Ukrainian company Axor produces inexpensive offers, confirmed by quality certificates of GOST RF and DSTU. The mechanisms can withstand up to 100 kg of sash weight, which makes it possible to use fittings for large double and triple sash windows. Groove clamps do not allow the fitting elements to move when using self-tapping screws in the frame.
Pros of Axor
The main advantages of Axor fittings for plastic windows include:
- ability to withstand 15,000 opening cycles in tilt and turn mode and 10,000 cycles in rotary mode;
- 10-year warranty from the manufacturer Axor for all components;
- special protective coating Total Protect Technology;
- 5th class of corrosion resistance;
- special calculation of holes for fastening self-tapping screws into a reinforced window profile.
Users note an excellent combination of performance at a low price.
Disadvantages of Axor
- This is a relatively new brand that few customers trust. In this regard, window manufacturers and installers may encounter difficulties in sales. Although this is unfounded, because a new product is tested to the maximum strength before entering the market, the manufacturer is interested in quality, which will help it gain customers among its competitors.
- Before installation, such fittings must be lubricated, namely the corners and the main lock.
What types of sliding windows are there?
All sliding windows, or rather, their assembly mechanisms are divided into several types.
The most common of them remain three types:
- Parallel sliding. Everything we need for convenience and aesthetics. Fittings of this type have proven themselves well in Russia. Easy to operate, can be installed on structures of different sizes, excellent design style. All this makes parallel-sliding fittings very popular.
- Folding parallel-sliding. Allows you to open both doors at once using just one handle.
- Lift-and-slide. It is considered the most reliable, capable of supporting the weight of the sash up to 400 kg.
Steel + wood
Steel, along with concrete, is the main building material of our time. Not a single event aimed at the construction of various buildings and structures involves the participation of these items.
Therefore, it is not surprising that these two elements have similar characteristics, both physical and emotional. Just like concrete, steel lacks visual warmth and warmth.
Therefore, it is no wonder that in this case, when creating various options for interior decoration, wood comes to the rescue. All the same functions, in the form of giving comfort and a positive atmosphere, are required from wood in this case.
In addition to aesthetic properties, wooden elements in this case provide a high level of practicality. Being a poor conductor of heat, wood interacts well with steel as an excellent insulating material that allows you to maintain optimal temperature conditions.
Also, insulation, which includes natural elements, can independently maintain a comfortable level of humidity, which eliminates the possibility of corrosion on metal products.
Here you can see an excellent combination of steel, in the form of a metal frame that supports the upper tier of the building and the roof itself, as well as the wood that was used to cover this luxurious dome.
Wooden elements, unlike metal ones, have some limitations in size, so in this case an original technique was used, which created the appearance of layering of planks.
Thanks to this, the resulting image turned out to be even more voluminous and bewitching, while maintaining the effect of the grandeur of the metal and the warmth of natural materials.
The reason for the visual effect. An excellent combination of strict lines and regular shapes, the source of which is steel, with the somewhat rough and warm surface of wood. The formed image absorbs all these characteristics, which has a positive effect on its visual perception.
Folding scissors
Rice. 7. Folding scissors.
Folding scissors, as the name suggests, are vaguely similar in design to the product of the same name. This element consists of two metal strips - movable and fixed, which are connected to each other using a bolt and nut. The fixed part is attached to the top of the window frame. The movable bar is attached to the top of the window sash.
Folding scissors allow you to tilt the window sash vertically. The maximum opening angle is 450 (this value is achieved only with a sufficient length of the movable bar). Folding scissors for windows will provide good ventilation, while minimizing the degree of penetration of foreign particles into the room (since the sash does not open in the traditional rotary way, but reclines, while remaining a barrier). But despite the apparent simplicity of the design, it is better to entrust the installation of folding scissors to specialists.
Glass + bright colors
The presence of transparent glass elements with dimensions from the floor and ceiling allows you to intelligently redistribute attention in the conditions of the existing corridor. In this situation, light colors can peacefully coexist with the brighter shades with which the staircase is decorated
The screen, made of glass, in this case performs a dual function. It simultaneously separates and connects two components of one space
In this situation, light colors can peacefully coexist with the brighter shades with which the staircase is decorated. The screen, made of glass, in this case performs a dual function. It simultaneously separates and connects two components of one space.
Let's imagine this interior without a glass screen. A cacophony of colors, generating a strong visual load, is what will necessarily accompany small rooms, which is the presented area.
It is unlikely that you will feel at least a little comfortable in such conditions. Decorating everything in a single neutral light is, of course, a way out, but it will not bring the desired result that can be compared with the existing image.
The reason for the visual effect. Glass smoothes out any interactions between elements decorated in different colors. Plus, this material itself has the ability to give the room a special style and a certain charm.
