Advantages and disadvantages of plastic windows

In today's world, plastic windows have become the new standard in construction. They are being installed in most of the facilities. Old wooden frames are being replaced by modern PVC. Let's find out if they are really so good and how it affects ventilation in the apartment.
These windows have a number of serious advantages


  • high noise and heat insulation, durability
  • PVC windows provide complete airtightness, eliminating the possibility of drafts.
  • they are comfortable to use, require no additional maintenance and are easy to clean
  • available in a choice of colors from classic white to imitation wood.
  • the construction of the window uses a metal frame, it has the necessary rigidity, which eliminates the risk of deformation
  • low price of the product is also a significant advantage
It turns out that such a window has many advantages, but there is also a significant disadvantage. It is connected with what we appreciate PVC windows for - with their tightness. The old wooden frames through the cracks let in air, which is necessary for the proper operation of ventilation in the apartment. Without its inflow, the whole system does not function, creating a "greenhouse effect". This leads to problems with the removal of polluted air, high humidity and excessive CO2. If the situation is not corrected, condesate can form and mold can appear. To prevent all this, it is necessary to organize a constant air supply when the windows are closed. Of course, you can open the window and ventilate, but this creates a number of inconveniences. The air supply is not regulated, excessive noise and dust begins to enter the room. This can be a way out if you do not sleep in the room. Waking up and closing the window at night will be a sufficient problem.
For comfortable living in an apartment, you need a more reasonable solution. The optimal solution is to install wall air inlets. This choice will keep the window airtight and create the necessary air supply. There is no need to constantly open and close something, the air is supplied in such a way that does not create discomfort.

To summarize, plastic windows do have a number of advantages, with the only disadvantage of disturbing the microclimate in the apartment. Restoration of fresh air inflow will help to create a comfortable environment for living. Ventilate the room in which you live, by what method to do it, the choice is yours.
