No matter how everyone around is talked about the high properties of plastic windows and their durability, there are still people who are not only against installing double -glazed windows in their apartments for money, but even a free option will not help to cope with their skeptical mood and prejudices against plastic windows.
The fact is that the most important plus of the double -glazed window, namely, its thermal insulation, in a combination of circumstances, turns very quickly and into the main minus. In other words, tightness, which is achieved thanks to a multi -chamber profile, is the cause of constant heat and stuffiness in the apartment. This problem arises quite seriously in the summer, when closed plastic windows (exactly as open) create a vacuum in the room, in which oxygen is very quickly consumed and carbon dioxide is formed. This situation reduces the performance of people and leads to a constant feeling of drowsiness. You will need vacuum equipment.
Another disadvantage of plastic windows is their “environmentality”. Many scientists who have studied the influence of polyvinyl chloride on the state and health of people are still confident that PVC is a product of working out the petrochemical industry, which even with the most thorough processing will not lose its harmful properties. And, therefore, over many years of using plastic windows in their apartment, people will constantly receive a certain dose of harmful volatile substances that will “discover” themselves only after several decades.
In addition, plastic windows, although they have already gained a certain degree of popularity among the population, are still a “luxury subject”. The meaning is not that the plastic windows are expensive and require large financial investments, but that they are an indicator of a certain viability of the owner of the apartment, and, therefore, will constantly involve scammers who are looking for a source of “easy prey”.
It should also be noted about the “interchangeability” of elements and parts of double -glazed windows. In other words, any scratch or mechanical damage will remain on the plastic window until the end of the entire service life, since plastic does not have the ability to replace parts and structures.
