Rumors about PVC Windows.

In the Egyptian market PVC Windows appeared for the first time recently, but the number of myths around them makes us consider each in more detail and find out what they are based on.

1. Installing a plastic window is a dirty business.

After any construction works, including installation of a plastic window, there is a garbage, but at all in those volumes which we often represent. However, it is necessary to prepare for installation in advance: the passage to the window should be free and not difficult, garbage bags are prepared, the furniture is covered with a film so that construction dust does not settle on it.

2. PVC Windows are not eco-friendly
This is one of the most common myths. 
The fact is that many people do not like the "chemical" name of the material – polyvinyl chloride (PVC) and the fact that lead is added to PVC during the production process.

However, eco-friendly and natural-not synonyms. PVC is a chemical synthesis product, but it is completely safe for humans. In General, plastic is currently one of the most popular materials, even the kettle in your kitchen is made of it and it does not cause concern to anyone.

3. Wood is preferable to PVC. 

The preferences of customers in different countries prove that this is not so. Currently in America and Europe most of the frames are plastic.Wood requires periodic staining, plastic Windows do not need special care.

4. PVC windows do not "breathe".
Many people think that the appearance of condensation on the PVC windows proves that they do not "breath". However, the glass may fog up in any frame. As for the old wooden windows, the air came mainly through the loose joints between frame and wall. These windows "breathe", but constant drafts cause colds. Plastic window and sealed and with their installation the blowing is stopped, and excess moisture settles on the glass. This can easily be avoided if a couple of times a day to ventilate the window for 5 minutes.

5. PVC Windows are always white colored and standard shapes. 
It is definitely not. Most consumers are accustomed to white products and traditionally prefer them to others. However, thanks to modern technology of window production, we can realize your any fantasy about the shapes and colors of the windows.

6. PVC profile is susceptible to yellowing over time.
The profile properties are determined by additives that are used in its production. We use high quality additives that provide snow white windows throughout the entire period of operation.

7. The plastic window is too expensive product.
Any quality product, including PVC windows will cost not too cheap but not as expensive as it was at the beginning of their appearance in the market. Don't forget that the plastic window can largely offset the cost of their purchase and installation because of its tightness, which leads to lower heating costs in winter and air conditioning in the summer.
