PVC Windows for Special-Purpose Rooms: Bathroom, Kitchen, Attic

Plastic windows in different areas of an apartment address specific challenges. Let’s review key requirements for each space.

Bathroom
The main goal is protection against high humidity and condensation.

Choose a double‑glazed unit (3 panes) with good airtightness.

A micro‑ventilation system or ventilation valve is essential — prevents fogging.

Seals should be made of EPDM rubber (resistant to moisture and temperature fluctuations).

Hardware with anti‑corrosion coating.

Kitchen
Ventilation and resistance to dirt are key here.

Tilt‑and‑turn opening mode — convenient for ventilating while cooking.

Insulating glass units with easy‑to‑clean coating (e.g., hydrophilic layer).

Mosquito net — protects against insects and grease.

Profile width of at least 60 mm for noise insulation from the extractor fan.

Attic
Features: inclined position and increased load from snow/wind.

Robust profile (70–80 mm) with reinforced steel inserts.

Insulating glass units with tempered glass or laminated glass (safety for inclined installations).

Special attic hardware with gas springs — smooth opening.

Water‑drainage channels — prevent moisture build‑up.

Option to install interior blinds — sun protection without interfering with opening.

General Recommendations

For wet areas, use only silicone sealants (they don’t absorb water).

Regularly maintain seals and hardware (lubricate 1–2 times a year).

Selecting windows according to the specific needs of each room will enhance comfort and extend the lifespan of the structures.
