Look for a company that will offer you the most profitable offer by windows? The most profitable offer you consider the most budget or, rightly, the cheapest? And you know what you are offered at the most minimum price? We know and very good.
Enough to mumble, I will speak in the first person. I know where the lowest windows prices come from because I work in a company that is engaged in decorating apartments, including installing windows.
I’ll start with the most important thing than the cheapest windows threaten you:
Poor thermal insulation
Poor sound insulation
Poor insulation in principle, up to leakage at the installation seams
Unaesthetic appearance (however, this does not bother everyone)
By the way about thermal insulation, if your walls are not so hot, then there is no need to expect much from the windows, even from the most expensive. Therefore, take care to begin with wall insulation, if we are talking about a private house. It can be liquid isolation, and insulation plates, and wind protection (special MDVP slabs). And saving here is not very economical, since heating and electricity accounts will clearly show you which of you is a “wonderful” accountant.
Where does the lowest price come from
The lowest price is a direct consequence of the lowest source materials.
Cheap profile
For example, we always inform the client that the WHS window profile is the fourth letter of the alphabet and explain why, but many customers do not care, just to save here and now, and then complaints begin ..
So, a cheap profile is not a simple fourth letter, it is one -component plastic, which not only turns yellow from the side of the street, but also worse in all respects, and in environmental friendliness, and in stiffness, and in resistance to the influence of the external environment.
And a cheap profile is the weakest reinforcement contour inside the camera and in the vast majority of cases (not only WHS) non -removable seal. That is, if something happens with this rubber band, which costs two pennies, you will have to change the whole window.
Cheap fittings
This is generally a separate song, when the client changes the old windows to new ones, and the drafts do not go anywhere, or the windows generally stop opening or leaning over time. Cheap accessories can be ordered for some cottage where you appear once a year by promise and open the windows, accordingly, no more often. And then, if the double -glazed windows are single -chamber. Two -chamber double -glazed windows and cheap accessories are generally incompatible.
Cheap installation
Tell you where the cheap installation comes from? From the consumer brigades with unknown equipment and components, as well as with a minimum level of interest and zero level of responsibility.
Therefore, in principle, even a good window profile with good fittings and “turnkey” installation in different companies can cost differently just due to installation.
Want to save money and nerves – do not waste money, but invest it wisely. Maybe the article turned out to be harsh, but it was boiled, as they say ..
Another indirect confirmation that for yourself cheap windows is not necessary to buy is that this fourth letter alphabet was not for people, but for the opportunity to win tenders. That is, for developers, who are the main thing to hand over the object not with empty openings, but what will it will live behind such windows of developers.
