Installation of metal-plastic windows is a matter that requires accuracy and experience. That is why it is better to trust the experts. Experienced installers will do their job quickly, efficiently, in compliance with the installation technology and safety precautions.
How is the installation of plastic windows?
To begin with, the old frame is removed and the opening is cleared for the installation of a new structure. Upon receipt of a complete set, it is recommended to visually inspect the products for scratches, cracks and chips. The frame must be in a protective film, which is subsequently removed. Fastening of the product is possible on anchors and plates. It all depends on the design of the window and the material of the wall in which the opening is located. Mounting foam is blown between the frame and the wall for sealing and insulation.
Choice of plastic windows
Modern advertising and marketing puts the consumer in front of a huge selection of PVC products. To choose windows that suit you both in terms of quality and price, you need to know a few rules:

Usually, such firms do not produce their products according to the State Standard and in improper conditions;

the quality of metal-plastic windows largely depends on the technology of its production. Pay attention to the surface of the profile - it should be smooth, even and have a slightly milky tint.
