They are plastic windows, beautiful, stylish, capable of transforming any interior. But there are those who doubt their safety, because somewhere they heard that plastic is harmful to health and, in general, PVC windows are not ideal. We will understand the basic errors!
1. Plastic windows contain harmful lead.
Lead is a chemical element in the periodic table. From this, it would be necessary to begin the analysis of any material used by man in everyday life and industry. Nobody uses pure lead, and even in quantities that are harmful to health. This is at least pointless! And the plastic actually contains lead salts in an extremely low concentration. And lead from salts cannot stand out even at high temperatures. If chemistry lessons have been erased from memory, then a simple example will help to understand what salt is for example ... salt. Cook. And it is sodium chloride, which does not mean that we eat chlorine daily (it would be difficult to eat it in principle, since it is caustic gas). The same thing with lead compounds - it sounds ominous, but in fact no more dangerous, say, hydrogen dioxide (H2O).
2. Plastic windows do not breathe at all.
So this is their main advantage! Breathable windows are doomed to be replaced as soon as possible. After all, this means a loss of tightness, which threatens constant drafts and their consequences. And there it’s not far to the course. Even if it seems that wooden windows are more environmentally friendly and “breathing”, then you just need to take a closer look at them carefully. They must also be airtight, and they are made like that by processing wooden lamellas so that they do not leak moisture, gluing them together with super strong glue, varnishing or painting the finished frame. What kind of "breathing" are we talking about? Only if there were errors during installation, but that's another story. The only difference between wooden and plastic frames is that the price is not in favor of the former. The plastic profile also protects against cold, damp and noise and is attractive at a price! more details.
3. PVC windows should not fog up.
We agree with this statement. Should not, provided that everything is in order with ventilation, that is, if outside air sometimes enters the room. You are not surprised that the bathroom mirror fogs up when you take a shower? The enclosed space, moisture (boiling water in the kitchen, for example), the temperature difference between the house and the street - and the glasses naturally fog up, no matter what profile they are inserted into. Ventilate the room and do not be afraid of fogging! In addition, the plastic profile can be equipped with a supply valve for forced access of air from the street, then it will not be scary to forget to open the window while cooking in the kitchen.
As it turned out, there is nothing wrong, harmful and uncomfortable in plastic windows. Continuous use, aesthetics and reliability! And if you pay attention to the fact that the prices of plastic windows are lower and lower every day, then such glazing is now available to absolutely everyone.
