How to check authenticity of windows from REHAU profile?


We have already written about the Rehau brand profiles themselves. We have devoted this article to the comparative characteristics of Rehau window profiles.

More details: Rehau PVC profiles

According to an independent rating based on the number of queries in the Yandex search engine, the manufacturer of plastic windows Rehau is in second place. It accounts for 23% of all requests.

REHAU Blitz New profile

Due to the small overall width of the frame and sash, this three-chamber system provides the assembly of structures with high light transmittance, and the presence of reinforcement and two contours of gaskets gives it good heat-saving characteristics. REHAU Blitz New windows have an individual design, which is given to them by a beveled overlay, smoothing the transition between the edges of the profiles. This basic budget series is suitable for the production of blind, swing and tilt-and-turn window units and balcony doors. The system also allows the use of laminated films. In the production of REHAU Blitz New profiles, all the best practices were borrowed, which were used during the manufacture of its prototype - REHAU Blitz.

Windows from the REHAU profile - a well-known brand with German roots

REHAU is a German family-owned company, founded in 1948 in the north-east of Bavaria, specializing in the development of polymeric materials for the construction, furniture, aircraft and automotive industries. In 1958, the company produced the first window profile and in 60 years has become one of the world's leading manufacturers of PVC systems for windows and doors. REHAU's own technological advances and innovations have become the basis for this success.

Photo: production of the REHAU profile in the Moscow region of Gzhel The REHAU plant in the Moscow region of Gzhel, launched in 2005, is distinguished by a high production culture, impeccable cleanliness and German order in the organization of all processes. It is one of the best REHAU window profile factories in the world. The quality of the profile produced in Gzhel does not differ at all from the systems produced in Germany. Any REHAU window profile passes all the necessary tests and has the appropriate certificates.

REHAU EURO-Design profile

In this inexpensive system, the axis of the instrument groove is offset by 13 mm, which makes it possible to integrate reinforced fittings and increases its burglar resistance to the level of profiles of a higher class. Two sealing circuits, with an overlap of 8 mm on the outside and inside, seal the active leaves well and reliably protect the windows from blowing out. The combination of radius and beveled surfaces on the profiles visually smoothes all transitions and abutments on structures from EURO-Design systems. This line is suitable for the manufacture of not only rectangular, but also arched or round windows in classic white color or decorated with wood.

Which Rehau profile to choose? The most optimal choice that will last for many years.

Today there are several companies on the market that sell plastic windows. They also produce a profile for their own products. In this regard, the average person may have a question: "What is the best profile?"

Rehau Delight windows have proven themselves in the market exclusively from the best side. Quality and reliability are guaranteed by the manufacturer for 20 years (if used correctly).

What is a profile and what is it used for?

What is a profile and what is it used for?

The profile is the basic part of the construction of any PVC windows. The service life of the window largely depends on its quality. Rehau uses only high quality plastics.

They remain flexible even in conditions of significant negative temperatures in the winter season in Russia.

In most cases, variations of PVC are used. Supplements are classified information of each manufacturer. Each company has its own.

Volumetric special chambers should be located inside the profile. Either air is pumped into them (it itself is an excellent heat insulator), or a special inert gas.

Study of the profile design before purchasing is necessary

Study of the profile design before purchasing is necessary

You should definitely familiarize yourself with the construction of the windows that you are going to purchase. This should not be done by advertising brochures or the Internet. The windows should be evaluated live.

Examine the profile very carefully for places that, in everyday use, may turn out to be a weak point:

  • loops;
  • vents;
  • fittings, etc.

Today, the Rehau Basick Design profile is the most affordable solution on the market. In the future, a simple (and therefore reliable) design can be equipped with a special device that will perform the function of climate control.

As an additional option, you can consider a unique window locking system. If it is installed, it can be guaranteed that from the outside, no one will be able to enter the room through the window.

We recommend to immediately tint the windows with special films. They not only do not transmit ultraviolet rays, but also infrared. That is, the window sill and curtains will not heat up and burn out.

REHAU GRAZIO profile

The elegant appearance of structures with high light transmittance is complemented by good thermal performance. If REHAU Grazia profiles are used for assembly, the windows will retain heat well even in 40-degree frosts. When equipped with burglar-resistant fittings, the structures of these systems have the 3rd security class. A distinctive feature of the GRAZIO profile windows is the branded beveled overlays and the low height of the sash and frame combination, which is only 104 mm.
Additional rigidity to the windows is given by a U-shaped reinforcement with a hinge in the sash. The reliable 2-contour 8mm overlap elastomer rubber seal ensures good protection against blowing out and the ingress of street dust or moisture. This profile system is used for the production of window and balcony blocks, as well as structures with a polygonal or radius shape. Opening methods of active leaves are folding, lifting, swing and swing-out.

REHAU DELIGHT-Design profile

The universal system DELIGHT-Design was created for the production of warm, quiet and bright windows. These profiles, without sacrificing strength and rigidity, slightly reduced the width, thanks to which it was possible to create the effect of invisibility of the structure and "let in" 10% more light into the house.
REHAU DELIGHT windows are manufactured in two versions. The profiles of this line can have classic beveled or rounded overlays, which allows you to adapt the design to the interior of the premises and the appearance of the facades. The choice of the radius option will further visually facilitate the design of the window.

These profiles are supplied complete with white gaskets that form 2 tightness circuits. Their elastic petals form an overlap of 7 mm on the outside of the windows and 8 mm on the inside. This series has the ability to adapt the appearance of the frame and sash to the interior design. For these purposes, manufacturers offer 3 types of glazing beads - curly, radius and beveled.

Bottom line.

Rehau PVC windows have been in steady demand for many years. Many people who have chosen the products of this company are not disappointed in their choice.Therefore, no matter what model of Rehau plastic window you choose, be sure that any purchased copy will perfectly fit into the existing interior of an apartment, private house, office and will serve you faithfully for a long time.

REHAU BRILLANT-Design profiles

These premium five-chamber systems are manufactured using HDF technology from plastic with a surface with minimal porosity. The section of the profile and the height of the groove for the installation of double-glazed windows significantly reduce the likelihood of condensation or ice formation on the windows assembled from these profiles. Traditionally, for REHAU systems, the axis of the groove for fixing the fittings is shifted at the profiles, which ensures the 3rd class of burglary resistance of the structures. There is a possibility of completing with light sealing contours, which visually expand the area of ​​the skylight.
This system is not only functional, but also has an elegant design. Glossy profiles are offered in 3 designs:

  • classic design - beveled semi-offset sashes;
  • modern design - rounded semi-offset sashes;
  • universal design - straight offset sashes.

In addition, even the most demanding customer will be able to choose the color or decor that best suits his wishes. The REHAU BRILLANT-Design profile can be painted in any RAL color or textured through lamination.

Appointment

The profile allows airtight glazing of the room in any climatic zone. It is installed in residential, industrial, commercial premises, during the construction and renovation of buildings. It is used to make "quiet" warm windows with single-plane sashes, standard or large.

REHAU INTELIO 80 profile

This system, which was first introduced in 2021, implements the concept of "smart" heat saving. Energy-efficient windows assembled from INTELIO 80 profiles retain heat in winter, and do not let heat from the street in summer. The system of this series is one of the "lightest", since the overlap of the active sash and the frame is only 107 mm. It is suitable for the manufacture of panoramic windows, since it can be used to assemble active sashes with a width of 1100 mm and a height of 2400 mm. Their area is 2.64 m², which exceeds the standards of the current GOST.
The INTELIO 80 system is represented by 2 types of profiles - with beveled straight or rounded bead. Moreover, the geometry of the profile from the street side and inside the premises may differ. This effect is achieved by using different glazing beads. Thanks to the perfectly smooth plastic surface, dirt does not accumulate on the frames and sashes, they are easy to care for. INTELIO 80 profiles are good at blocking sound waves, so they are recommended for installation in noisy areas or near highways.

REHAU GENEO profile

REHAU GENEO is a high-tech warm profile, consisting of 2 layers. The use of unique innovations made it possible to abandon the steel reinforcement of windows. Instead of reinforcing metal liners, lightweight fiberglass is used, thereby reducing the overall weight of the structures. At the same time, the GENEO system has several more important advantages:

  1. Built-in reinforcement system, which is created by partitions inside the profile without the use of additional elements.
  2. Three elastic sealing contours, making the windows wind-proof and waterproof.
  3. Protection against environmental influences, which is ensured by the use of high viscosity standard polymer RAU-PVC 1406.
  4. Possibility of manufacturing active leaves with dimensions of 2400 × 1400 mm without the use of steel reinforcement.
  5. High stability of the mounting screws in the profile, created by the special IVS threaded channel.

The profile is suitable for the production of radius and triangular windows with a high quality smooth surface. Since the RAU-FIPRO fiber used in these products is also used for the production of streamlined yachts and racing cars, GENEO structures are characterized by high stability and long service life. Thanks to the use of innovations by REHAU, a window made of profiles of this brand is 4.5 times higher than the most stringent GOST standards for air and water tightness.

REHAU windows selection criteria.

Which Rehau profile is better and which one to choose?

As a rule, we always want to buy a quality product and not overpay. In this article, we will try to help you choose a profile system from the entire variety of the REHAU line for your specific case, without going into detailed technical characteristics. The choice of one or another profile system should be determined primarily by future operating conditions.

Rehau blitz

Suitable for glazing a veranda or a country house, which is not a permanent place of residence. Good budget profile. You can be sure that the windows from the REHAU BLITZ profile will protect your home from the cold on the days when you come to it for relaxation. We also recommend using this profile for glazing balconies and loggias if you do not plan to combine them with a living room. It is especially good to use this profile when glazing loggias with floor-to-ceiling structures on small balconies of the P-44 series and in "Khrushchevs". In this case, you get the opportunity to get a warm balcony without weighing it down with brick or foam blocks, and at the same time, you save precious centimeters of usable space. The Rehau Blitz box is only 60mm wide. Glazing of the balcony with the REHAU BLITZ profile without the use of heating systems will give you the opportunity to feel comfortable in the cold season, providing a difference between the street and the room of 10-15 degrees, depending on the outside temperature.

Rehau sib

We recommend using this profile system for residential buildings intended for permanent year-round living. Private houses, apartments and loggias, combined with living rooms, fall into this category. In the mode of permanent residence, plastic windows made of REHAU SIB will allow you to save heating costs in comparison with the budget series, because the profile has a four-chamber structure, a wider frame 70mm, and also allows you to install a double-glazed window 40mm wide. In our opinion, REHAU SIB DESIGN is the most optimal solution for glazing a living space in terms of price and quality.

Rehau dlight

If the openings are small, but there is a desire to get as much natural light as possible, then the REHAU DLIGHT plastic windows will be the most successful choice for you. Due to the design of the profile of the sash, the windows will give you an increase in daylight of about 15% compared to other window profiles about Rehau. In terms of its thermal insulation properties, this window profile is comparable to Rehau Sib. The difference in performance is insignificant in favor of Rehau Dlight.

Rehau geneo

PVC windows from the Rehau Geneo profile already belong to the premium class both in price and in quality. This profile has a six-chamber structure with a box width of 86 mm, which is comparable to a brick wall 1 meter 30 centimeters thick. Three sealing circuits and the possibility of installing a 53 mm glass unit provide maximum thermal insulation and noise suppression. We recommend Rehau Geneo to be installed in residential premises with panoramic glazing from floor to ceiling, where glazing occupies a significant part of the total area of ​​the street wall. Windows from the Rehau Geneo profile will allow you to get maximum comfort from the use of plastic windows.

P.S.

And remember that even a window from the most expensive window profile will not meet your expectations if it is installed incorrectly or poorly.

Yours faithfully,

"Nikolskie windows".

It should be borne in mind that double-glazed windows have no less influence on the operational characteristics of structures. A warm profile without proper filling is ineffective. If the windows are equipped with cold double-glazed windows, the brand of the system and its heat engineering characteristics do not matter - the cost of heating the premises will increase.

Technical characteristics of windows

1.1 Number of cameras in a profile

Number of chambers in a plastic profile

The air cavity that forms between the partitions of the profile is called a chamber. With an increase in their number, the temperature in the room also increases. The smallest number of cameras in a profile is three. In this case, the coefficient of resistance to thermal protection is on average 0.62. If the profile is four-chambered, the coefficient reaches 0.64, five-chambered - 0.68, six-chambered - 0.72. As for noise isolation - the three-chamber profile absorbs 15-20 dB of noise, this figure increases by another 8-10 dB with each additional chamber. Veka manufactures a profile with 3-6 chambers, KBE - 3-6.6, REHAU - 3-5.5.

Obviously, the number of cameras in the profile will not help us identify the leader - all three companies offer almost the same parameters.

1.2 Width of the outer walls of the profile

The thickness of the outer walls of the plastic profile

The functionality of the window, its reliability and service life depend on the width of the walls (external). After all, the thickness of the walls determines not only the level of thermal protection, sound insulation of the window, it ensures its resistance to physical and mechanical stress, deformation. The thickness of the outer walls of the profile, regulated by GOST 30674-99, must be at least 3 mm.

The manufacturing company Veka adheres to world standards and offers its customers a profile with a wall thickness of 3 mm. It is VEKA products that have become the basis of Russian standards.

The KBE company manufactures a profile with an outer wall thickness of 2.8 mm, which belongs to category "A" of the Russian standard (2.5 - 3 mm).

As for REHAU, in order to reduce the cost of production, the company offers its customers a profile with an outer wall thickness of 2.5 to 3 mm.

1.3 Maximum width of a glass unit

It is wrong to focus only on the profile, because the indicators of heat and sound insulation also depend on the thickness of the glass unit. Only a strong profile with a special sash design can withstand a glass unit of good thickness.

The most stable profile of the Veka product line is VEKA-alphaline, it is able to withstand a glass unit up to 50 mm thick.

Among KBE profiles, KBE Expert turned out to be the most stable - it can withstand a double-glazed unit up to 58 mm thick.

Rehau profiles have a permissible glass unit thickness of only 44 mm - this figure is typical of the REHAU Sib-Design model.

If we compare the readings of the KST (coefficient of resistance to heat transfer) of the three companies, then the picture changes somewhat - VEKA is ahead of the curve: Rehau - 0.79, KBE - 1.05, Veka - 1.37 m² ° C / W.
