1. Why are the windows the "eyes of the house"?
Windows face towards the street and can create a lively or lifeless appearance. While taking in our surroundings, windows provide insight to people who live behind them. They reflect the character of a house or building.
2. Can windows contribute to architecture?
Yes, they are a crucial element of all structures. "On the inside" they essentially determine whether we feel good, whether the house or building "functions". "On the outside" windows can structure facades, make them appear smooth or three-dimensional, give a house or building its distinct style.
3. There are people who say we already live in an age of plastics. Isn't that overdoing it?
No, not at all. Dimensionally true plastics are a reality. Plastics can be engineered today to be tougher and more resistant than steel, not to mention extreme temperature resistant.
4. Are all plastics equal?
No. A slight change in a plastic's molecular structure can result in significant changes of its properties. Plastics can be custom-designed for specific applications.
5. What exactly is PVC-U?
PVC-U stands for unplasticised polyvinyl chloride. It is a thermoplastic obtained from salt and crude oil. PVC-U powder is produced in a series of process steps. PVC-U is one of the most adaptable and widespread plastics offering exceptional durability.
6. Where is PVC-U used in construction?
PVC-U is used in windows, doors, and interior fixtures. It is also commonly used in pipes and the roof trim.
7. Why is there so much talk about "high impact strength"?
Molding compounds are classified as possessing "normal", "enhanced", or "high" impact strength. Impact strength determines the quality of a window and its behavior when subjected to heat as well as cold temperatures. Corner strength is a direct product of impact strength.
8. Are sliding doors possible?
Yes. Sturdy metal reinforcements ensure marked stability and reliable function. Brush seals located at various places guarantee tightness. Selecting the right fittings makes it easy for opening and closing. In addition, sliding doors can also be used to enlarge a house or a buildings living space. |
