Optimum heat saving criteria can be achieved through the use of a three-chamber profile. Despite the complexity of the design, finished products are easily and quickly installed.
Features of production technologies
In reviews of the Hobbit windows, most buyers call steel reinforcement their dignity. For the manufacture of window systems, sheets of steel with a thickness of 1.6-3 mm are used. Metal makes the product more durable, can withstand heavy loads.
Sheets of steel are cut on high-precision machines, and the welding process is fully automated. Depending on the type of profile, the operator selects the appropriate computer program and cleans the welds.
The next stage of production involves fixing the seal into the finished sash, which does not lose elasticity for many years, even in large frosts. After that, they begin to install double-glazed windows and branded accessories. Glass is cut to the nearest micrometer using equipment capable of optimizing the sheet. A small frame filled with a special mixture is placed between each glass and plates of the desired color are placed (white, brown, etc.).
At the request of the client, one of three types of glass is used:
- triplex;
- tinted;
- matte
- mirror image.
Employees in reviews of Hobbit windows note that each product at the final stage of production undergoes a rigorous quality check and the absence of any external defects.
What does the company produce besides windows?
The Hobbit company produces window and door structures. At the request of the client, any product can be manufactured in non-standard configuration.

The activity of the Hobbit company differs from the work of competitors. The company works according to an established scheme, accompanying goods from the conveyor to the final consumer.

Production cost
This is one of the primary issues that interest Hobbit customers. In reviews about the windows of buyers, the price of products is not always satisfied. Among the assortment of windows made from Rehau profiles, you can find both budget and more expensive options:
- Euro-Design (Blitz New) - the most affordable solution, ideal for typical apartments. The window has three air chambers. The width of the profile is 60 mm, and the glass unit is 24 mm. The design in the basic configuration with a size of 1530x1300 cm will cost the buyer about 5100 rubles.

- Delight-Design - this design provides better light transmission by reducing the height of the profile. In general, the product has the same characteristics as the previous model, with the exception of the width of the glass - here it is 40 mm. The price of a finished window of a standard size starts from 6000 rubles.

Prices shown are approximate. The total cost of the order is calculated individually, because it depends on additional components, the color of the profile and the nuances of the design - the shape of the product, the type of glass, the number of doors and the opening pattern. In addition, order volume is important. The more windows a customer buys, the more profitable discounts will be offered to him. The measurer will help determine the final cost of the products, leaving home is free of charge.
Aluminum profile windows
Discussions about which structures are better - plastic or aluminum - can often be found in customer reviews of Hobbit windows. Customers make various arguments for plastic designs. The main disadvantage of aluminum profile windows is the complete absence of thermal insulation properties. However, few people know that the Hobbit company produces a combined profile, which is made of wood or PVC inside and aluminum on the outside. This is ideal for glazing balconies, loggias, commercial areas, business centers, conservatories, etc.
The Hobbit aluminum windows, according to customers, reliably protect against street noise, dirt, moisture. The company's assortment also includes sliding systems made of aluminum from leading European manufacturers. The specialists of the engineering center of the company actively cooperate with the factory design department, which allows us to develop original projects, regardless of the degree of complexity, geometric shape, area and other criteria.
Judging by the reviews, the "Hobbit" windows made of aluminum profile are no less popular among customers who order them for private houses and apartments. Such systems are equipped with a so-called warm profile, which provides excellent sound insulation and thermal protection. The outer and inner shells of the window are connected by a thermal bridge - an insulating strip that interrupts the flow of heat. The only drawback of aluminum profile structures is the high price, which can exceed the cost of ordinary plastic windows by several times.
Wooden window systems
Despite the fact that plastic windows have practically swallowed the Russian market, the demand for wooden products does not decline. Designs made of environmentally friendly materials remain in demand today, judging by the reviews. Hobbit windows made of valuable wood create a cozy atmosphere and a comfortable microclimate in the room.
The advantages of wooden window systems include:
- resistance to sudden changes in temperature;
- heat and sound insulating properties;
- Impeccable and modern appearance;
- maintainability;

Wooden windows are made in the Moscow region at the Hobbit factory in Lyubertsy. According to customer reviews of windows, the most popular are pine and larch products, as well as aluminum-clad constructions. The price of one wooden window made of these materials is in the range of 35-48 thousand rubles. Many buyers from Moscow in reviews of the “Hobbit” windows (Russia) write that they are buying wooden “Economy” structures for installation in a country house, in the country. By the way, this type of glazing is the most affordable. Oak systems are more expensive, since the wood of this breed has maximum resistance to negative external influences. Such a window will cost at least 60 thousand rubles.
Each of the wood species used in the production has a different pattern and texture. As the top color coat, Hobbit uses German water-acrylic Zobel paint. The surface of the product is elastic, does not fade in the sun and does not crack over time. Among the shades of wooden windows "Hobbit", according to reviews, the most popular are shades:

Doors from a Russian company
According to reviews, plastic windows "The Hobbit" is not the only thing that is popular with buyers. This company produces high-quality doors made of plastic and wood. Each of the categories of door structures has a different purpose and its own characteristics. So, for example, input plastic systems that are manufactured using reliable European materials are relevant for the modern consumer.
Plastic doors installed at the entrance to the room must be durable and multifunctional. The Hobbit company uses reinforced PVC profiles for the production of such products, equipped with steel inserts and protective fittings. Moreover, white is not the only design option. Under the order, the company makes doors of any color. Another advantage of plastic entrance doors is their budget cost, which will suit buyers with a limited budget.
Despite consumers' commitment to natural materials, PVC profiles are still valued by customers. The thing is that synthetic materials cost much less than wood, while plastic has quite high performance characteristics. Such a door does not swell, does not deform, withstands mechanical stress, is moisture resistant, practical and easy to care for. Due to the ability to create plastic doors of various colors, shapes, textures, sizes, they are often installed as interior doors.
Along with practicality and decent performance, environmental friendliness, the unique design and relevance of the product are equally important. Entrance doors from eurobar fully comply with these requirements.
According to reviews, the Hobbit windows in Moscow, other wooden structures are most often ordered for country houses, cottages, facades of large offices, banking and budget organizations. The input systems from the Hobbit company are equipped with powerful anti-burglar fittings and an aluminum threshold. As a filler, the company offers various options for double-glazed windows or veneered sandwich panels. Doors from the euro-beam are equipped with reinforced hinges, a bolt lock and handles in the form of a push set. For massive doors, handles in the form of a bracket are additionally made - this is a standard option, but another design can be ordered. Doors made of timber from the Hobbit company are prestigious products that have a long term of operation and have a high degree of reliability.
Additional components
In addition to windows and doors, the company can purchase any missing items for plastic, wood and aluminum structures. The purchase of components is carried out from trusted manufacturers, which allows you to sell high-quality and durable parts on favorable terms. These include:
- double-glazed windows (with one, two or more cameras);
- heat packages, which are equipped with windows in order to maintain heat indoors by applying a special coating;
- mosquito nets - installed on door or window openings, which protects the premises from insects (each cell has a size of less than 1 mm);
- window sills - an important element of decor for aluminum, wooden or plastic windows of any color;
- slopes - are made of plastic sandwich panels that protect the joint of the window system and the wall from dampness, dirt and low temperatures;
- ebbs - represent the exterior facade elements of galvanized steel with polymer coating of various sizes and styles.
Thanks to the presented components, each window lasts as long as possible and does not require special care and maintenance.
Window blinds from the Hobbit company in Moscow deserve special attention. In the reviews, the main advantage of these products is called the availability of free access to a plastic window for ventilation and the possibility of using a window sill. In addition, blinds are not just a piece of interior decoration, but also a means to protect from the sun and prying eyes. The buyer has the opportunity to choose from horizontal, cassette, roller blinds or curtains of the "day-night" type to the plastic "Hobbit" windows. According to reviews, the price of products of this brand is one of the most affordable in the capital.
Window locks are an indispensable item for buyers who have small children. This device prevents the full opening of the window, but at the same time retains the possibility of ventilation. The lock is locked with a key, so the child will not be able to open the window on his own. The Hobbit company offers a line of such devices with various types of installations. Baby locks can be included when ordering windows or purchased separately.
What customers say about the company
The advantages of contacting this company, many users include a wide range of products. The Hobbit company offers a truly huge catalog of plastic, aluminum and wooden structures. In order to get acquainted with it, it is not at all necessary to come to an office or a network branch. Clients who are limited in their free time have the opportunity to evaluate door and window structures on the official website of hobbit.ru.
Customers also like the prices set on the windows of the Hobbit company. In the reviews, many customers confirm that when buying goods for a certain amount, the company provides very favorable discounts. The loyal pricing policy of the company suits the most demanding and demanding people. The professionalism and qualification of the staff is another important plus for customers. Most note that the consultants and managers of the company assist each client in choosing the right product.
In addition to the positive, there are also negative responses. Some customers are unhappy that it is impossible to find out the preliminary cost of the order. To calculate the amount, you have to call the measurer. In this regard, people are perplexed: why should they waste their time if they are not sure whether they will order products from this company at all.
Another disadvantage of the company is the delay in the completion of the order. Often the Hobbit window installers themselves confirm this.According to customer reviews, employees of the company do not warn about the postponement of the dates, so the date of delivery or installation can be shifted by several days, and sometimes weeks. Often noted by users and problems with production technology. In their opinion, quality control at the plant is completely absent.
Lack of competency is another popular complaint against The Hobbit. Windows and doors are installed by inexperienced installers who make many mistakes in the process (after their work there are large gaps, minor damage to the product, and distortions occur over time). As a result, customers have to spend a lot of effort, nerves and personal time to apply for warranty service.
The opinion of employees about the employer
It is difficult enough to find positive feedback from employees. Hobbit windows in Moscow are sold in several stores and branches of the company (eight in all in the capital), and there are dissatisfied responses about each of the points of sale.
First of all, the company employees are outraged by the fact that the employer pays a small salary. According to reviews, officially employees receive a salary equivalent to the minimum wage in the capital. In this regard, many are faced with the problem of obtaining a decent pension, compensation for hospital and other benefits, obtaining loans and visas for traveling abroad.
There is another reason for negative feedback from employees about the employer. Hobbit windows are often offered to staff as in-kind pay. Allegedly, during salary delays, which happen quite often, employees are offered instead of money to take windows and sell products, and take the proceeds to themselves. In addition, a strict penal system is applied to employees.
Former company managers in their responses note that the employer does not care much about subordinates. The working day at the company’s offices is not standardized; employees are not paid extra for overtime hours. An unfriendly competitive atmosphere reigns in the team: everyone is for himself, so there is no particular need to wait for help or recommendations. This does not allow beginners to quickly master all the subtleties of work in this service sector.
Among the positive aspects, employees of the Hobbit company note corporate events conducted by management in order to unite the team. For employees free trainings, seminars and courses are held. This allows you to constantly improve the qualifications of employees, improve their professional skills.
