Plastic windows protect against rain.

Last few decades scientists have been speaking about global warming. Currently, for everyone it became clear that climate is changing all around the world. Egypt is not an exception. Heavy rains with thunderstorms and hail became usual even in places where nobody heard about it before.

If your old wooden windows do not properly protect against extreme weather events, it's time to think about replacing them with new plastic ones which are not afraid of storms, rain or hail. For successful opposition to the rain plastic windows have several ptions. How robust is the design in general depends on the profile.  Tightness of the window and therefore its ability to insulate your dwelling from the external environment depends on quality of seals and installation.

The quality of the profile is determined by the quality of the material from which it is made and the design of the profile system. High-class profile is resistant to any types of loads and to ensure the longevity and stability of the system. Selecting high-quality profile, you will avoid possible problems related to the deformation of the plastic window.

The sealer is also one of the most important elements of PVC window as it ensures the design integrity and as a consequence protects the home from moisture and noise outside. Therefore, when buying window, don't forget to ask the seller abouy the quality of the seals.

We are interested in accessories usually when we want to protect the house from burglary but defective accessories or insufficient attachment of the sash to the frame can undermine the work of the seal, and this in turn can lead to moisture ingress and deterioration of the insulating properties of plastic windows. To increase the service life of the fittings, care and adjustment should be included in an annual windows maintenance.

As to the glazing, a great solution is glazed windows providing a high level of sound insulation and equipped with laminated glass, which will become an additional protection from rain and hail.
