Windows play a key role in our everyday lives, but we rarely give them our full attention (except when we need to clean them). They come in all imaginable colours and shapes and yet we are usually very conservative in our choice of windows. Be it because we are not aware of the great variety of design possibilities or because functionality is the main criterion in the choice of windows.
Windows are the “face” of a building and, in addition to the aesthetic aspect, contribute significantly to the acoustic and thermal insulation of the building envelope. This aspect has gained in importance in recent years, as sustainability and energy efficiency have become central topics in the public eye.
But there is much more behind our windows than meets the eye. For over a year, we visited experts from different sectors and European countries to gain exclusive insights from them into various aspects of window manufacturing.
This documentary series is aimed at all stakeholders in the window industry but most importantly at all decision makers, such as private individuals and architects, to provide them with assistance in choosing the right window as well as interesting background knowledge.
You will never look at windows with the same eyes again!
Cooperation is an excellent example of how something is more than just the sum of its elements. Based on open communication and an honest exchange of ideas, synergetic effects can be generated from cooperation that far exceed the commitment and contribution of the individual.
This is also especially true in the window industry, which has constantly evolved over the years. The requirements in terms of quality, delivery times, and product variety put high demands on suppliers and window manufacturers, who together face the challenges of the market. New products, new colours, new components, and new processes are part of the constant race to find the most innovative solutions, especially in the field of foil lamination of PVC windows.
Of the vast majority of goods that surround us every day, we know little or really nothing about how they are made. This is a shame, because the real value of a product can only be discovered when we understand where it comes from, how it is made and what aspects really make it tick.
Have you ever wondered how a window is made?
What is quality? Could you give yourself a satisfactory answer to this simple question? Good quality is intuitively important to all of us, but the word “quality” has become an empty phrase due to its overuse in advertising.
Who would have thought? The foil-laminated PVC window is without a doubt a sustainable building product!
How can that be, when plastic is threatening to choke our oceans and microplastics can now be found all over the world? But if you take a closer look, you will realise that PVCu is a high-quality material that offers several proven advantages that even surpass natural building materials.
