20 best manufacturers of plastic windows

Plastic windows are a modern solution for glazing residential, commercial and industrial premises. They are distinguished by unpretentious operation, they can be tailored to the individual needs of the customer (from size to color) and have a more affordable price tag compared to wooden windows.

The review presents the best manufacturers, operating in the Russian market of plastic windows. Both world-famous brands and domestic companies that use the profile of the most popular brands in production participate in the rating. The rating is based on the quality characteristics of the windows produced, as well as feedback from owners who chose products of a certain company for the glazing of a house or apartment.

The most popular manufacturers of plastic windows

5 Trocal

If you believe the sources, then the activity of the company Trocal began in 1954 - it was then that the production lines (of unknown scale) began to work for the benefit of creating the first PVC profiles. Honoring their traditions, the Germans still produce structures that are successfully used for installation in apartments and private houses.

The problems and main advantages of profiles from the company Trocal lies in the chosen path of uniqueization. The manufacturer has made a bid to improve the reliability of the structure by increasing the stiffness and resistance to all sorts of deformations. If in the case of windows such an approach was crowned with good results, then for the doors the reinforced profiles turned out to be too heavy. In terms of design, users were more than satisfied: absolutely the entire line of the company is not devoid of design refinement, which is, in general, a rarity even for well-deserved market leaders. In general, the level of the company is very high: it is good both in terms of key product characteristics and in terms of cost. Unambiguous contender for the highest position.

4 Salamander

One more German brand, which makes, perhaps, the best window profiles all over the world, stopped a step away from the prestigious troika. Salamander’s personal “curse” is status.Because of the true premium layers of manufacturers, the cost of their products goes far beyond the scope of competitors, which, of course, has a negative effect on attracting a mass customer.

The second negative aspect is ... in clone companies. Huge prices created a precedent so that copies of the windows of a well-known German company began to be stamped in an artisanal way and “merge” into the market in pursuit of the same colossal numbers. The precedent is unpleasant and does not play into the hands of the brand. But, be that as it may, Salamander continues to go at the intended course and offers the segment more and more innovative developments.

3 Rehau

Closes the top three permanent competitor firms KBE and VEKA, won the hearts of consumers (and experts) sharpened on a constant search for the ideal formula for the profile. Day by day, REHAU laboratories are developing and testing prototypes, only a small part of which is honored to appear in the store catalog.

Differs in severity and the process of manufacturing plastic windows. With true German pedantry and punctuality, every technological operation is accompanied by a process of strict control. Thanks to this approach, the Germans managed to significantly reduce the scrap rate and reduce the cost of recycling unsuitable products. But, like all other firms, REHAU also had a flaw. Despite the fact that, in general, the number of consumers is large, some are deterred by the price policy of the company. Yes, they manage to reduce internal costs, but they are not in a hurry to meet new customers (in terms of the cost of finished products).

2 KBE

The second contender for leadership is another German representative in the production of PVC profiles, who deserved such a high place with a complete customer focus. The company’s assortment concentrates a huge variety of window profiles suitable for both southern and northern regions of a large country, and their value is a good example for competitors (and, at the same time, the most important advantage of the company, along with the highest quality). By the way, quality concerns not only profiles, but also all fittings accompanying them.

The flaw of KBE is prosaic and requires some kind of parallels. The fact is that German products (manufactured directly in Germany) is a reference. But at the windows, produced at Russian factories, there is a blemish in the form of a gradual yellowing of plastic, which some users did not fail to indicate.

1 Veka

German brand, actively and successfully holding the largest segment of the domestic audience of consumers on their products. VEKA entered the Russian market in 1999 and in such a short period of time managed to win a number of significant victories. Open branch VEKA Rus became the first in Russia to receive a certificate of compliance with European quality standards RAL - a sign that none of the company's closest competitors have.

In addition, due to the full technical equipment of the production lines of the plants, the company refused to produce a low-grade product, shifting all attention to the production of profiles of class "A". This means that all models of window profiles (of which there are six in VEKA) have a high degree of protection against external environmental factors and are suitable for use in any climatic conditions.

The best manufacturers of plastic windows of medium and premium class

5 LG Chem

The only representative of the eastern current of plastic window production, which relies on the distribution of goods in the eastern part of Russia. This is to say: because of the proximity, the main consumers of PVC profiles are residents of the Far East (and only a small part of the windows reach the rest of a large state). This fact largely predetermined the fact that the main characteristics of the product have not yet been bothered by a deeper analysis and study.

If you start from user reviews, we can conclude that the windows LG Chem (in all its diversity) have good insulating characteristics and are made of high-quality glossy plastic. However, the latter often acts as an initiator of problems - when spoiling the gloss, it is not so easy to give it its former appearance. As for the price, it is small in comparison with competitors and, in general, looks good against the background of high quality.

4 Facro

The Polish plastic window manufacturer Facro, thanks to the introduction of innovative technologies and the highest quality products, has earned the trust of consumers and has become the world leader in the roof windows market. The main principles that guide the company is the environmentally friendly, safe and reliable window. That is why the choice of raw materials and the production process as a whole is carried out under strict control.

Due to the fact that all products are tested in boxes where various natural phenomena and climatic zones are simulated, plastic windows of this brand have the best performance and durability, and are suitable for installation in the regions even with the most severe weather conditions. A wide model range of windows and high-quality accessories, distinguished by individuality, allow you to choose a unique solution for the attic of the house. In addition, all windows of this manufacturer are equipped with TopSafe system, which increases the resistance to cracking and damage. The products of this company out of competition, and deserves only positive user feedback.

3 Plafen

Extra-level PVC profiles, the installation of which will satisfy even the most captious buyer. The range of Plafen has five lineups, denoted by the letters S, T, E, L, C.The main feature is the stylization of profiles under the tree of different varieties, which gives a more expensive look and will fit any interior. According to the official website of the company, the minimum service life of the window is more than 60 years without any serious breakdowns and flaws. In general, the comments of the owners fully confirm such a serious statement of the manufacturers: with good installation, there are no drafts and freezing.

Of course, it was not without flaws. High-quality windows simply could not get a solid price tag, “pull” which could only a small part of consumers. Yes, and the company itself is positioning itself as a reliable supplier of windows for business, which also discourages ordinary potential buyers.

2 Proplex

One of the few trademarks of Austrian / Russian origin, characterized by democratic prices and full adaptation to the climatic conditions of the country. In the asset Proplex can bring excellent quality PVC, not prone to yellowing and having a high level of strength. This fact is often enough for consumers - people are happy to purchase windows for installation both in private houses and apartments. The only problem is that the range of the brand contains models, the appearance of which gives the price and moral obsolescence. These are much cheaper than new developments, but show no less convincing results in all operational parameters.

The second problem of Proplex (much more global) is related to the scale of the network - the lack of a certificate of compliance with international standards greatly hinders the company from going beyond the Russian market.

1 Deceuninck

The Belgian concern, whose world fame greatly overtakes fame among Russian consumers. According to authoritative sources, The Deceuninck Group invariably occupies a leading position among global PVC window manufacturers.

As for the Russian branch, the most significant contribution to the overall business of the company was the receipt of a prestigious award for the creation of the Favorite Space profile system. Of the obvious advantages, it should be noted that all versions of windows have a certificate of compliance with international standards. But this plus had a negative impact on the price level, “thanks to” which a relatively small audience resorts to installing Deceuninck windows. If we talk about cheap models, then they are frankly worse than similar products of opponents, and in terms of quality and overall appearance. Thus, a world-renowned company can only be content with getting into the TOP-15 best, and not a hint of leadership.

The best Russian manufacturers of plastic windows

10 Kaleva

Kaleva is a Russian company with not a Russian name operating under a full cycle scheme. This approach involves carrying out the product from the moment of its design to installation on request of the customer. A rare case, especially among domestic producers. Nevertheless, even in such a field of activity, serious questions have arisen to the company.

Basically the company is being brought in by dealer centers, of which there are at least eight dozen. According to customers, the organization of the installation process in some cities is very bad and requires subsequent dismantling and re-replacement. With all the quality of PVC profiles in such a situation, they will be pursued by the inevitable loss of operational properties. By the way, the head office does not bother, but delegates the solution of problems with dealers to the customers themselves. Not the most professional approach, but there is hope that further measures will be taken.

9 Plastic windows

The company "Plastic windows" is among the successfully developing companies for the manufacture and sale of plastic windows. Own production, equipped with high-precision and modern equipment, allows you to increase production volumes, which, moreover, is distinguished by quality and the best geometric shapes. The pride of the company is the ability to satisfy any design decisions, both in terms of configuration and in color. Competitive price for PVC products from the manufacturer of "Plastic windows" can make this product affordable for any home or apartment.

In addition to standard solutions for installing window systems, this company provides glazing for homes with passive heating.

Using the services of this company, consumers in a review note the professionalism of the staff and the best technical characteristics of the products.

7 Panorama

The company from St. Petersburg is not very popular, although it has been in the domestic market for more than 20 years. It would seem that there are not so many prerequisites for this. According to consumers, PVC profiles of the company are of good quality and, in general, deserve to be in the top five, if not in the TOP-3. They have an optimal balance of rigidity, provide good insulation (especially the five-and six-chamber profiles of Enwin Waiz 70 and Deceuninck Favorit Space), and also have a pleasant appearance. In addition, the cost of all models (at least, standard) is within the average market.

The reason for the low popularity of Panorama is the approach to customer service. According to experts, the service of the company is not distinguished by promptness and obsession ... to such an extent that the information about all the options has to be pulled out, as they say, “on the line”.

6 World of Windows

The small company for the manufacture of PVC windows “Mir Okon”, which originated in 2001 in Belgorod, already by 2008 became one of the largest manufacturers in Russia using the KVE profile. The maximum automated workflow allows the company to carry out large volumes, which reach up to 750 finished products per shift.

5 Steklandia

Having become the owner of the most prestigious award in the window industry “Golden Window” following the results of the last two years, the company “Steklandia” is respected by consumers. The brand was founded in 2001, and the basis of its strategy from the very beginning of its existence was the manufacture of only high-quality PVC structures. For this purpose, high-tech European equipment was purchased, and employees were trained at the leading window factories in Europe. Double-glazed windows are made on the automated line of the company LISEC, and PVC products - on the line HAFFNER. Thanks to quality control, the company's products have gained confidence and are always popular with consumers.

When choosing a plastic window for an apartment or house, the main criteria are the price, appearance and operational characteristics, which in the production of the brand “Steklandia” have an optimal ratio. The already large assortment was expanded with products from the Trocal premium class profile, which made it possible to satisfy the most diverse customer needs.

4 Rusokon

Special pride of the company is participation in such popular television projects as the Housing Problem and the School of Repair.

3 Russian windows

Began its history in 1996, the company "Russian Windows" was a small workshop for the manufacture of PVC structures, which eventually turned into a major regional manufacturer. In 2006, the company completely modernized the line, which made it possible to significantly expand the range of products offered and improve its quality characteristics. The setting of complex and modern equipment supplied to the plant by such leading manufacturers as Bavelloni, Urban and Bystronic was performed by high-class EU specialists with access to perform this type of work. Also lines were launched that allow PVC lamination and the manufacture of structures with atypical character and size.
Plastic windows, doors and other products for repair and construction, manufactured by the company "Russian Windows", at all stages of manufacturing is subject to strict quality control. This ensures the absence of marriage and the highest quality of the final product. Due to this approach, in 2013, at the All-Russian Competition of Manufacturers, the company was awarded the Consumer Confidence award. Today, Russian Windows offer the widest range of products, while guaranteeing timely delivery and installation, as confirmed by consumers in their reviews, completely satisfied with the quality of service.

2 Labrador

Labrador is the largest manufacturer of metal-plastic (PVC) and aluminum windows in St. Petersburg, and one of the most high-tech in Russia.The production process is fully automated - the factory installed modern equipment that allows you to produce seamless windows that have a more attractive appearance. The partnership with VEKA guarantees the high quality of the profile used in the production of windows.

The company's products meet all quality standards and are regularly certified. Plastic windows of the brand "Labrador" are distinguished by a competitive price, at the same time, in terms of sound and heat insulation, they are far superior to some analogues. The company also offers installation services performed according to GOST and free warranty service for 10 years. In their reviews, users positively note the presence of double-glazed windows with climate control, reasonable prices and good service.

1 Montblanc

Montblanc is a subsidiary of STL-Extrusion, which has risen markedly in more than ten years of experience in the market. Its main asset was the development of an extensive network of dealers, thanks to which the brand acquired a solid customer base. Not the same as the German brands, but still quite decent.

In terms of strengths and weaknesses, the company has a strikingly one-sided positive balance - only the absence of an ISO certificate of conformity at plants located in Russia can be recorded as a liability. For the rest, there is a complete idyll: both in terms of the quality of the windows, and in the fittings (provided by partner factories), and in terms of durability. In the assortment of Montblanc (at the moment) there are seven types of profiles, each of which has a unique set of cameras and a width for different climatic conditions. A good and inexpensive option for glazing houses and apartments.

How to choose the best plastic windows?

The main obstacle on the way to choosing the right plastic window for a house and apartment is the fact of the abundance of various profiles. But buyers' difficulties are connected not only with them - any window has many nuances that can drastically affect performance. Therefore, in the process of selecting "topquality.techinfus.com/en/" recommends paying attention to the following aspects:

Profile type According to well-known standards, window profiles are divided into three groups: deaf, swivel and tilt-and-turn. The first will be suitable in the case of installation on large areas that do not require airing. The remaining options, on the contrary, it is better to buy in a small, ventilated area.

The number of cameras. Here one should be guided by the following principle: the more cameras have a window, the warmer it will be in the room. Choose the number of glass packs according to the climatic conditions: from three to severe winters, and less if you live in warm areas of the country.

Glass. Recently, manufacturers have moved away from the use of ordinary glass, replacing it with low-emission, enriched with silver atoms, samples (even safer, even newer). It is very simple to check: a lit match in the case of “emission” glass will produce not a red, but a violet glow.

Fittings. The element on which we recommend not to save. Whatever the frame (the same profile), the main consumables of plastic windows are just the fittings (handles, locks and combined awnings).

Manufacturer. The Council, the last in order, but the most important in terms of drop significance. Pre-selection of the manufacturer will give you the opportunity to look at something in the range, as well as find out the approximate cost of the order. We strongly recommend that you look at the TOP-15 nominees.
