The glass unit occupies the main area of the window, and it is through it that the main heat loss and penetration of heat, noise and light occurs. Therefore, special attention should be paid to the choice of glass unit.
A glass unit is a hermetically sealed structure consisting of two or more panes of glass, separated by spacer frames that form chambers filled with dried air or inert gas. Thanks to this structure, glass units effectively retain heat in the room during winter, contributing to heating savings, and protect from street noise, creating a comfortable microclimate.
The number of chambers is one of the quality assessment criteria. Plastic glass units are a hermetically sealed structure consisting of two or three panes of glass. The number of panes determines the "chamber count" of the glass unit: single-chamber (two panes) or double-chamber (three panes). The higher the chamber count, the higher the quality of the window. Between the panes, there is a thin-walled aluminum frame with perforations. This spacer frame is filled with special granules that absorb residual air moisture and protect the glass from fogging and freezing.
You can order one of several types of plastic glass units, each available at an affordable price. Since they differ primarily in their technical characteristics, let us draw your attention to the details.
Decorative grid elements are installed in the inner chamber of a double-chamber glass unit (between the inner pane and middle pane of the glass unit). This is because if decorative elements are adjacent to the outer pane of the glass unit, there is an increased risk of freezing and subsequent condensation. During operation of structures with glass units featuring decorative grids, there may be a rattling sound and slight displacement in the transverse plane of the glass unit, which is due to the materials from which the decorative grid is made.

More detailsTriplex is a combination of ordinary glass panes with an additional layer of special film between them. When the glass breaks, this film in the glass unit restrains the spread of fragments. Tempered glass has increased strength compared to ordinary glass. Thanks to these properties, a combination of triplex and tempered glass allows for the construction of safe glass units with increased strength. These are specifically used for glazing winter gardens, canopies, skylights, and other structures where overhead glazing is applied.
More detailsDepending on the intended use and climatic conditions, glass units must be chosen very carefully. For example, if in conditions of high noise and constantly low outdoor temperatures (in the Far North) you prefer a window with two panes of the same thickness, you will hardly be able to provide yourself with a proper level of noise absorption and thermal insulation. In any case, before choosing a specific window design and glass unit, it is best to contact us so that our specialists can help you make a choice taking into account the specific conditions where the plastic windows will be installed.
More detailsThese are several examples of our work on installation and repair for our clients. All this inspiration is for you.
A single pane cannot be replaced. The glass unit is replaced entirely, as all its parts are glued together.
If no additional work or reinforcement of the window opening is required, replacing the glass unit will take only 10-15 minutes.
A glass unit consists of several panes glued together, separated by spacer frames. Thanks to this, glass units are stronger and warmer than ordinary glass.
Insufficient heat retention for cold regions, risk of condensation, inadequate protection from noise. Such glass units are more suitable for glazing balconies, terraces, summer houses.
Multifunctional glass units are a type of glass unit capable of protecting from cold in winter and from room heating in summer. The glass reflects infrared radiation but easily passes visible light, which keeps the room cool even in extreme heat. In winter, IR radiation is reflected back into the room - thanks to this, heat loss through windows is reduced by 80%.
For an apartment, it is best to choose a double-chamber glass unit. For a bedroom, an option with soundproofing properties is suitable. If you need to save on room cooling in summer and heating in winter, it is better to choose an energy-saving or multifunctional glass unit.
