Requirements for PVC Windows on the Ground Floor

Specific Features of Ground Floor Windows

Windows on the ground floor require a special approach to selection and installation due to their increased vulnerability. There are two key aspects to consider:

• Protection against unauthorized access
• Ensuring residents’ privacy

Basic Construction Requirements

The window profile must meet the following parameters:
The window profile should have wall thickness of at least 3.2-3.5 mm, at least 5-6 chambers for better thermal insulation, class A profile (the highest quality indicator), and reinforced framing (from 1.5 mm).

Security Requirements

Protection against burglary is ensured by a complex of measures:

• Installation of anti-burglary hardware of RC2-RC3 class
• Use of impact-resistant double-glazed windows of P4-P5 class
• Additional systems to prevent opening

Double-Glazed Units Requirements

A reliable structure requires:

• Thickness of at least 32 mm (optimally 40-42 mm)
• Two-chamber structure
• Low-E energy-saving coating
• Filling with argon or krypton for better thermal insulation

Privacy Protection

Protection from prying eyes is achieved through several methods:

• Use of multifunctional glasses with mirror coating
• Installation of decorative film stained glass
• Application of frosted patterns in the lower part of the window
• Use of colored stained glass

Additional Recommendations

Comprehensive security includes:

• Installation of child safety locks
• Regular maintenance of fittings
• Monitoring the condition of seals
• Timely replacement of damaged elements

Properly selected ground floor windows will ensure:

• High level of burglary protection
• Comfortable microclimate in the room
• Effective sound insulation
• Privacy of residence
• Durability of the structure

When choosing windows, it is important to consider all these factors together, as each element plays a significant role in overall safety and living comfort on the ground floor.
