Composite materials have been designed to replace, to an increasing extent, traditional ferrous and non-ferrous materials which are characterized by some shortcomings in terms of performance, production and processing, dimensions, masses, geometric complexities, areas of use and costs.
Composite materials have anisotropic properties, consisting of several components, whose organization and elaboration allow the use of the best characteristics of each component.
From a technical point of view, the notion of composite materials refers to materials that have the following properties:
- are artificially created by combining different components
- represent a combination of at least two chemically distinct materials, between which there is a distinct separating surface
- have properties that no component taken separately can have
The use of composite materials reinforced with fiberglass (material used in the construction of aircraft) is a revolutionary approach, used in the production of window profiles. Thanks to this approach, your windows get a series of new features that maximize their potential for functionality and design.
- Larger window sizes are possible, without any risk
- Extremely thin profiles further enlarge the window surfaces
- Noise reduction by up to 47 dB
- Better thermal insulation and, implicitly, energy savings of up to 75%
Even if wooden windows are considered the most beautiful, and vinyl windows – the cheapest, composite windows from one of the Pella window dealers are unmatched when it comes to their lifespan, durability, structural reliability, ease of maintenance and the ability to be painted at will and even textured. Therefore, they are considered a practical choice and an excellent investment.
