history of the company Artec started in early 1995. At this time, a company was created in Germany Artec Fenstersysteme GmbH, focused on the supply of window technology to the CIS countries. In 1996, the first plant was opened in Russia, and since 2004, Artec has doubled its turnover in our country. Today this company is widely known in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Kazakhstan as one of the leading suppliers of components for the production and installation of window structures and double-glazed windows.
Artec has always been characterized by a desire for dynamic development. Less than a year after the enterprise began operating in Germany, its first branch was opened in the Russian Federation. At the same time, initially the company’s assortment could hardly be called wide - mainly PVC profile systems used for the production of windows were supplied to the Russian branch.
However, Artec soon began to offer much more choice. Gradually expanding the network of branches, establishing more favorable conditions for cooperation, the company was gradually approaching its main goal - to become a leading supplier for the manufacture and installation of window structures.
On the Russian market, Artec offers not only plastic profiles for PVC windows and doors, but also fittings.

ARtec plastic profiles: a success that few people dream of!
The production of plastic profiles for windows by ARtec began in 1995 and from the very beginning of its activity these products were focused on the market of the CIS countries. ARtec windows are produced under the supervision of qualified German engineers.
Was there any special know-how that guaranteed the company special success in the frosty post-Soviet space? Or did the Austro-German industrialists, united under this brand, have effective “hooks” in the then Russian leadership?
Plastic profile ArtecCombi
But a fact is a fact! Already in 1996, the company opened its first plant in Russia - earlier than most of the industry giants. A number of experts believe that from 2004 until the crisis, Artec doubled its turnover in Russia, and even today the decline in growth rates is not very noticeable.
Once hooked in Russia with its basic Standart profile, the company quickly developed a whole line of products for the CIS market - from distinct economy-class models to the most prestigious and elite options. Currently, Artec is represented on the Russian market with six main profiles: Standart , Comfort , Combi , Contour , Elegance and Extratherm .
The last one listed is positioned as specifically designed for the conditions of the Russian North.
Contour is made of high-viscosity plastic and therefore has good impact resistance. It is also capable of functioning at temperatures down to minus 60 degrees C.
There is information that two relatively new profiles have entered the market - Effectiv and Evolution . The first of them is recommended for regions of the North, the second is characterized as more suitable for temperate latitudes.
Another competitive advantage of the company is the production of its own accessories. The “two in one” principle, all other things being equal, is good for promoting a product on the market and gives the consumer the impression of the manufacturer’s solidity and the thoughtfulness of its commercial policy.

Comparison table of parameters
It is recommended to select the Artek profile, the technical characteristics of which depend on the types of system, using a table with the main parameters. A comparative analysis will allow you to order windows suitable for use in specific climatic conditions. It should be taken into account that there are minimal differences between systems with the same installation depth. This means that when there is no confidence that the characteristics of the selected type of profile are sufficient to achieve the assigned tasks, you need to give preference to systems with a larger installation depth.
| System type | Installation depth of the system / Number of chambers | Rebate depth for installation of double-glazed windows | Heat transfer resistance coefficient with reinforcing liners (W/m²×°C) | Sound absorption level (dB) |
| ARtec CONZEPT | 82 / 7 | 52 | 1 | 47 |
| ARtec EFFECTIV E | 70 / 5 | 42 | 0,85 | 43-45 |
| ARtec EXTRATHERM | 70 / 5 | 42 | 0,79 | 43-45 |
| ARtec EFFECTIV EDG | 70 / 5 | 42 | 0,8 | 43-45 |
| ARtec EFFECTIV | 70 / 5 | 42 | 0,8 | 43-45 |
| ARtec EVOLUTION EDG | 60 / 3 | 34 | 0,64 | 35 |
| ARtec EVOLUTION | 60 / 3 | 34 | 0,63 | 35 |
| ARtec CLASSIC | 60 / 3 | 34 | 0,64 | 35 |
Since the sound insulation and energy efficiency of door and window units largely depends on the type of double-glazed windows, more attention needs to be paid to consideration of this issue. When completing structures with a high level of heat conservation, today you can do without massive two-chamber models. For more information on how to choose the right double-glazed window, read the article on OknaTrade.

Checking the tightness of an ARtec (Artek) window (how to check where the air is blowing from an ARtec (Artek) window?)
If in summer the problem of ventilation of ARtec (Artek) windows worries us little, then in winter we don’t want to freeze at home. So, three ways to detect a leak in an ARtec window. We check the windows for ventilation, look for where the wind is blowing from the ARtec (Artek) window.
The first way to check the tightness of an ARtec (Artek) window : using a sheet of paper, half an A4 is quite enough. We open the window sash slightly and expose half of the sheet to the street, close the sash, and lower the handle all the way down. Important! The sheet of paper should not fall on the locks that are installed on the window frame, otherwise it will simply be bitten and the experiment will be carried out incorrectly. We pull out the sheet. Three options: the sheet flies out with a whistle, the sheet comes out with difficulty, it feels like the sheet is about to tear. Important! Thus, the entire perimeter of the window sash is checked. If in most places of such a check the sheet comes out freely (flies out with a whistle), the seal needs to be replaced. If the sheet comes out with difficulty in most places of inspection, the problem of window tightness can be solved by adjusting and lubricating the window. If the sheet is about to tear in most places of inspection, you do not need to do anything with the ARtec (Artek) window. You won't be able to blow from this ARtec window!
The second way to check the tightness of an ARtec window (Artek) : using a soap solution. Do you remember how you were looking for a hole in a bicycle tube?))) We make a soap solution. We spread ARtec (Artek) around the perimeter of the window. Where the bubbles appear is where it blows.
The third way to check the tightness of an ARtec window (Artek) : using a candle flame. Carefully move a burning candle around the perimeter of the window. Where the flame fluctuates, that’s where it blows from the ARtec (Artek) window.

Methods for adjusting the pressure of the ARtec (Artek) window sash to the frame
There are many manufacturers of window fittings, and each of them has its own way of adjusting the pressure of the window sash, but there are also some general principles on how to tighten ARtec (Artek) windows. Open the window sash. At the end of the sash, find the eccentric pins. Most often they can be adjusted using a hex or star wrench. Usually, there is a mark on the trunnion - a small strip. By default, it is set up - neutral position. By turning the trunnions to the left or right, you can strengthen or weaken the pressure of the window sash to the frame, i.e. change the winter-summer mode yourself.

So how to properly prepare ARtec (Artek) windows for winter yourself?
First, think about what bothered you last winter? How are things going with ARtec (Artek) windows now? Do they open well? Were there any puddles on the windowsill during heavy rain? How does the window handle turn? With or without effort? As expected, does the handle go all the way down? Or not? As they say: cleanliness is the key to health! In our case, regular removal of accumulated dirt and lubrication, plus timely adjustment (adjustment) of windows, significantly increases the service life of ARtec window mechanisms. The question arises: how to properly wash an ARtec window so that it does not get damaged? You can safely wash the ARtec (Artek) window with ordinary soapy water and a soft sponge. We soap the glass (double glazing), ARtec window profile (Artek), slopes, window sill, and then wipe it dry with a soft cloth. Check the drainage channels (they are at the bottom of the window frame), maybe they need to be cleaned? It is also important to know how to adjust ARtec windows (Artek), but more on that below.

Adjusting the ARtec (Artek) window sash vertically and horizontally
A shift in the window sash or a slight bevel can be removed by horizontal adjustment. The position of the window sash is adjusted using the upper and lower fastening loops. This can usually be done using a hex wrench. The adjusting screw in the bottom hinge allows you to adjust the window sash from the outside and inside. If you turn the key to the right, the ARtec window sash rises. If you turn it to the left, the angle of the window sash lowers. Also, the top hinge is adjusted when the window sash is open. You need to move the window sash back and forth no more than 2 mm. If the ARtec window (Artek) does not close tightly from the bottom, then you need to adjust the bottom hinge. If you need to press or move the window sash towards (away from) the lower hinge, then adjust the position of the sash when the ARtec window is open. There is a second adjustment screw on the bottom hinge to lower and raise the sash vertically. If you turn it clockwise, the ARtec window sash will rise. If it's counterclockwise, it will go down.

The ARtec window profile was first developed in Germany for use in harsh conditions.
Consumers of German brand products are CIS countries, including Russia and Ukraine. Artek translucent structures belong to the budget price segment, the performance properties and characteristics of which are not inferior to expensive European brands. The brand began its work in 1995, the first industrial line in Russia for the production of window systems was opened one year later. Products of the German brand are certified for compliance with leading international standards, which is confirmed by relevant documents.
ARtec CLASSIC
This profile has an installation width of 60 mm, three-chamber, the thickness of the glass unit can be less than or equal to 34 mm (minimum - 4 mm). The ARtec CLASSIC profile in terms of resistance to wind load, heat transfer resistance and sound insulation complies with GOST standards, which is very important for the operation and normal functioning of a plastic window (resistance index R° = 0.64 m²°C/W). Due to the axial distance for fastening the fittings of 13 mm, burglary resistance is ensured. This profile can use both open and closed condensate drainage systems. The seal and bridge form the system as an additional closed air space, allowing shock absorption and sticking in cold frosty weather.
The service life of this profile is up to 60 years, but the system can last longer with proper and careful operation.
Technical features
Today, the profile of this brand is most often used when assembling structures of non-standard or complex shapes. This can be achieved due to the presence of various additional elements that are compatible in size with systems where the installation depth is 6 or 7 cm. Today, the profile with an installation depth of 70 mm is in greatest demand, which is explained by its technical characteristics, let’s consider the main ones:
- The design provides for the presence of 5 air chambers;
- Thermal transfer resistance – R = 0.85 m 2 °C/W;
- The system can withstand frost down to -60 degrees;
- Glazing thickness – 4.2 cm.
Thanks to the presence of additional elements, if necessary, you can easily assemble:
- large, complexly shaped entrance groups;
- bay windows;
- designs for warm glazing of loggias or balconies.

Cleaning dirt and lubricating ARtec window fittings (Artek)
Start insulating your windows for the winter by inspecting the ARtec (Artek) window fittings. Remove dirt, especially from the top of the window sash. All folds must be cleaned of deposits and dirt, especially cement and plaster residues. Direct exposure of the fittings to moisture and contact with cleaning agents should be avoided. Then lubricate the ARtec window fittings. Lubrication points for ARtec windows are marked with special markings. How to lubricate an ARtec window? The most common ones are WD-40, machine oil, grease. Do not under any circumstances lubricate with sunflower oil or olive oil or anything else! Edible oils dry quickly, turning into a sticky substance that will break the ARtec window mechanism. After this, rotate the fittings in different modes several times to distribute the lubricant. Wipe off excess oil from the ARtec window.

Windows are an integral part of the facade, which they should decorate. Plastic windows have a neat appearance, do not require varnishing or painting, and are affordable.
This solution for filling the light opening will allow you to retain heat and protect your house or apartment from street noise, which is especially important for those who live in the city or near a busy road. The profile from which the window frame is made has several chambers, which allows it to muffle sound and retain heat.
Plastic windows can be three-, four-, five- and six-chamber. Inside the profile there is reinforcement made of galvanized steel, which carries the entire load from the double-glazed window. Windows are not made to standard sizes, but after measurements are taken at the installation site. The material for making the profile is most often polyvinyl chloride (PVC). No harmful substances are released into the room from the window design.
A double-glazed window retains heat well, but for regions with harsh winters it is better to install a double-glazed window with triple glass. Plastic (PVC) windows significantly reduce heating costs. Thanks to the widest selection of window fittings, the design can work the way the customer wants: tilt, open fully, lock from thieves, close with insect nets, etc. Such windows do not have to be sealed for the winter and painted in the spring. It is enough to simply wash plastic windows from dust from time to time.
- Aluplast The Aluplast company, engaged in the production of various PVC structures, was founded in 1997.
Over the past decade, this industrial group has grown to an international level: the brand is among the top five in Europe, and the company's staff has already reached 1,400 people. Today, the Aluplast industrial group has twenty trade and production branches that produce and sell PVC window profiles as close as possible to the client. Today, more than 1,500 clients cooperate with the company. One of the concern's window profile production facilities is a subsidiary called Aluplast RUS, which is located in the village of Bykovo, Moscow region. - Artek If we are talking about the durability of filling light openings, then the window profile is only part of the entire structure, on each element of which the ease of use and service life depend. Whether it is a window, a façade system or a balcony door, their operation depends on the fittings used, fasteners, stops and connections down to the last screw. The German company ARtec Fenstersysteme GmbH operates mainly on the CIS market and has its production lines in Russia and Ukraine. Mainly, it produces metal-plastic profiles, window sills, slopes, and connecting elements. It also supplies rare high-quality products from other manufacturers for installation, manufacturing of PVC and wood windows, double-glazed windows, parts for finishing the window unit, etc. This manufacturer promotes two quite competitively priced window systems Artec PAD and Artec PMD on the market. The first consists of several types of profiles, designed for different climatic conditions and different price segments. The budget option Standard is a 3-chamber system with a lightweight U-shaped reinforcing profile in the frame, impost and sash. This profile has a mounting depth of 60 mm and allows the installation of double-glazed windows up to 34 mm, and with a rebate expander - up to 52 mm. This design is often used for glazing balconies due to its low weight. The simple Standard system is easy to process when making windows of complex shapes and configurations from it. This is a universal profile that even fits different fittings from different manufacturers.
- Atticus. Moscow and the Moscow region have their own leader in the production of plastic windows - which has existed since 1996. Thanks to German equipment, the workshops undertake lamination of PVC profiles in a wide range of colors, plastic windows and doors, other structures made of plastic and aluminum, arched options, artistic stained glass, glazing of balconies and loggias. For the manufacture of plastic windows, warm profiles of several well-known brands are used - German Aluplast, Turkish Pimapen, domestic Montblanc (a joint Anglo-Austrian production) and German Winkhaus fittings. A warm profile is more expensive than a cold one, but Attic plastic windows are made only from the first option. After all, there is a significant advantage of a profile with walls 3 mm thick - durability. That is, condensation does not form on slopes and double-glazed windows, hinge groups do not become loose over time, and sashes do not sag. Cold profiles are only suitable for non-residential premises. Each buyer chooses a window according to such parameters as the profile width (from 60–80 mm) and the number of cameras in it, the manufacturer and the cost of the design, which is also important.
- Leopard. In cold climates, plastic windows justify the cost of manufacturing and installation by significantly reducing heating costs. This stimulates increased demand for metal-plastic glazing in cities such as Tyumen, where it originated. It produces windows, balcony glazing and plastic doors from multi-chamber German Gealan profile. The Tyumen company produces double-glazed windows for installation in such a profile in its own workshop, using durable glass and carrying out reflective transparent coating at the request of the customer. The company also produces aluminum profile systems for public buildings, office complexes and industrial enterprises. Most often it installs its products itself, which allows it to provide guarantees of up to 5 years. The Gealan 3000 profile can easily be used to fill light openings of a wide variety of shapes. It has an installation depth of 62 mm, and allows the installation of 1- and 2-chamber double-glazed windows up to 32 mm in width. There is also a flat-combined type of construction, into which double-glazed windows up to 49 mm wide can be inserted. This system has a 3-chamber structure - the central chamber of the frame, impost and sash is filled with a reinforcing steel profile, and the two side chambers are hollow. The U-shaped reinforcing strip in the sash and closed in the frame are separated from the external and internal air by hollow chambers in which air convection is difficult due to their small size. This prevents a “cold bridge” from appearing through the metal reinforcing part.
