20 best plastic window manufacturers
The most popular manufacturers of plastic windows
5 Windows Gealan
Country: Russia/Germany
Rating (2022): 4.9
The German company produces PVC windows at factories in Germany and Russia. The same profile is used everywhere. The manufacturer's chip is windows of non-standard sizes with a width of up to 5.2 m and a height of up to 12 m. This allows you to create panoramic glazing in cottages and high-rise buildings in order to ensure the maximum influx of sunlight and an unusual glass facade. There are 5 PVC profile systems in the manufacturer's catalog: S9000, Kubus, S9000 HST, Smoovio and S8000. The number of internal chambers varies from 4 to 6, which affects heat saving.
There are sliding portal systems for turning a window into a door. This will come in handy when organizing access to the terrace. Another difference in the quality of the plastic windows of the Gealan Windows brand is three rubber contours. This design helps to reduce noise and reduce the penetration of dust into the apartment. If you have a sunny side, the company offers glazing with built-in blinds.The location of the "curtains" inside the double-glazed window does not allow them to become covered with dust, and also they will not be damaged by pets.
4 Salamander
Country: Germany
Rating (2022): 4.9
One step away from the prestigious trio, another German brand has stopped, which produces, perhaps, the best window profiles in the world. Salamander's personal curse is status. Due to belonging to truly premium layers of manufacturers, the cost of their products goes far beyond the field of action of competitors, which, of course, has a negative effect on attracting a mass client.
The second negative aspect is ... clone companies. Huge prices have created a precedent for copies of the windows of a well-known German firm to be stamped in a handicraft way and “merge” onto the market in pursuit of the same colossal numbers. The precedent is unpleasant and does not play into the hands of the brand. But be that as it may, Salamander continues to go on course and offers the segment more and more innovative developments.
3 rehau
Country: Germany/Russia
Rating (2022): 4.9
The top three is closed by the permanent competitor of KBE and VEKA, which has won the hearts of consumers (and experts) by its constant search for the ideal profile formula. In the REHAU laboratories, development and testing of prototypes is carried out day by day, only a small part of which is awarded the appearance in the store catalog.
Differs in severity and the process of manufacturing plastic windows. With true German pedantry and punctuality, each technological operation is accompanied by a process of strict control.Thanks to this approach, the Germans managed to significantly reduce the percentage of rejects and reduce the cost of recycling unusable products. But, like all other firms, REHAU also found a drawback. Despite the fact that in general the number of consumers is large, some are deterred by the pricing policy of the company. Yes, they manage to reduce internal costs, but they are in no hurry to meet new customers (in terms of the cost of finished products).
2 KBE
Country: Germany/Russia
Rating (2022): 4.9
The second contender for leadership is another representative of Germany in the production of PVC profiles, who deserved such a high place due to the overall focus on the consumer. The assortment of the company contains a huge variety of window profiles suitable for both the southern and northern regions of a large country, and their cost is a good example for competitors (and, at the same time, the main advantage of the company, along with the highest quality). By the way, quality concerns not only profiles, but also all accessories accompanying them.
The disadvantage of KBE is prosaic and requires some parallels. The fact is that German products (manufactured directly in Germany) are reference. But the windows produced at Russian factories have a flaw in the form of a gradual yellowing of the plastic, which some users did not fail to point out.
1 VEKA
Country: Germany/Russia
Rating (2022): 5.0
A German brand that actively and successfully holds the largest segment of the domestic consumer audience on its products.VEKA entered the Russian market in 1999 and in such a short period of time has managed to win a number of significant victories. The opened branch of VEKA Rus was the first in Russia to receive a certificate of compliance with European quality standards RAL - a mark that none of the company's closest competitors has.
In addition, due to the full technical equipment of the production lines of the factories, the company refused to produce a low-grade product, switching all its attention to the production of class “A” profiles. This means that all models of window profiles (of which there are six in VEKA) have a high degree of protection against external environmental factors and are suitable for use in any climatic conditions.
The best manufacturers of plastic windows of medium and premium class
5 KRAUSS
Country: Russia
Rating (2022): 4.7
The window brand belongs to the Astek-MT concern, which began its activities in 2006 in the Krasnodar Territory. To date, the company is one of the 5 largest plants in the Russian Federation. The domestic manufacturer produces PVC and aluminum windows. In total there are 3 types of profile with a thickness of 58 and 70 mm. Inside there can be from 3 to 5 cameras. The cross-section of a double-glazed window varies from 32 to 40 mm. The main difference for the buyer will be the heat transfer resistance coefficient of 0.78, 0.80 and 0.82 (W/m² ×°C), respectively.
The KRAUSS profile is an in-house development that meets international standards. But for plastic windows, fittings are needed. When other leading brands use third-party products, Astek-MT produces its own hinges, locks and other elements necessary for the full functioning of PVC windows.Accessories are produced under a different brand - ESSE, but you can order everything in one place, saving on the services of intermediaries.
4 Facro
Country: Poland
Rating (2022): 4.7
The Polish manufacturer of plastic windows Facro, thanks to the introduction of innovative technologies and the highest quality of products, has earned the trust of consumers and has become the world leader in the roof window market. The main principles that guide the company are environmental friendliness, safety and reliability of the window. That is why the choice of raw materials and the production process as a whole is carried out under strict control.
Due to the fact that all products are tested in boxes where various natural phenomena and climatic zones are simulated, plastic windows of this brand are distinguished by the best performance and wear resistance, and are suitable for installation in regions with even the most severe weather conditions. A wide range of windows and high-quality fittings, distinguished by individuality, allow you to choose a unique solution for the attic part of the house. In addition, all windows of this manufacturer are equipped with the TopSafe system, which increases resistance to burglary and damage. The products of this company are unrivaled, and deserve only positive feedback from users.
3 Plafen
Country: Austria/Russia
Rating (2022): 4.8
Extra-level PVC profiles, the installation of which will satisfy even the most demanding customer. The Plafen range includes five model series, designated by the letters S, T, E, L, C.The main feature is the stylization of profiles under a tree of different varieties, which gives a more expensive look and will suit any interior. According to the official website of the company, the minimum window service life is more than 60 years without any serious damage or flaws. In general, the comments of the owners fully confirm such a serious statement of the manufacturers: with good installation, there are no drafts and freezing.
Of course, it was not without drawbacks. High-quality windows simply could not help but acquire a solid price tag, which only a small part of consumers could “pull”. And the company itself positions itself as a reliable supplier of windows for business, which also scares off ordinary potential buyers.
2 Proplex
Country: Austria/Russia
Rating (2022): 4.8
One of the few trademarks of Austrian/Russian origin, distinguished by democratic prices and full adaptation to the climatic conditions of the country. The Proplex asset can be added to the excellent quality of PVC, which is not prone to yellowing and has a high level of strength. This fact is often enough for consumers - people are happy to purchase windows for installation both in private houses and apartments.
The only problem is that the range of the brand contains models, the appearance of which gives off hackneyedness and obsolescence. These are much cheaper than new developments, but show no less convincing results in all operational parameters.The second problem of Proplex (much more global) is related to the scale of the network - the lack of a certificate of compliance with international standards makes it very difficult for the company to go beyond the Russian market.
1 Deceuninck
Country: Belgium/Russia
Rating (2022): 4.9
The Belgian concern, whose world fame is far ahead of fame among Russian consumers. According to authoritative sources, The Deceuninck Group consistently ranks among the world's leading manufacturers of PVC windows.
As for the Russian branch, the most significant contribution to the common cause of the company was the receipt of a prestigious award for the creation of the Favorite Space profile system. Of the obvious advantages, one should highlight the fact that all window options have a certificate of compliance with international standards. But this plus had a negative impact on the price level, "thanks" to which a relatively small audience resorts to installing Deceuninck windows. If we talk about cheap models, then they are frankly worse than similar products of opponents, both in terms of quality and overall appearance. Thus, a world-famous company can only be content with getting into the TOP-15 of the best, and not a hint of leadership.
The best Russian manufacturers of plastic windows
10 Kaleva
Country: Russia
Rating (2022): 4.5
Kaleva is a Russian company with a completely non-Russian name, operating on a full cycle basis. This approach involves the implementation of the product from the moment of its design to installation at the request of the client. A rare case, especially among domestic manufacturers.Nevertheless, even in this field of activity, serious questions arose for the company.
Basically, the company is let down by dealerships, of which there are at least eight dozen. According to customers, the organization of the installation process in some cities is very bad and requires subsequent dismantling and re-replacement. With all the quality of PVC profiles in such a situation, they will be pursued by an inevitable loss of operational properties. By the way, the head office does not bother, but delegates the solution of problems with dealers to the customers themselves. Not the most professional approach, but there is hope that further action will be taken.

7 Panorama
Country: Russia
Rating (2022): 4.7
The company from St. Petersburg is not very popular, although it has existed on the domestic market for more than 20 years. It would seem that there are not so many prerequisites for this. According to consumers, the company's PVC profiles are of good quality and, in general, deserve to be, if not in the TOP-3, then certainly in the top five. They have an optimal balance of rigidity, provide good insulation (especially the five- and six-chamber Enwin Waiz 70 and Deceuninck Favorit Space profiles), and also have a pleasant appearance.In addition, the cost of all models (at least the standard ones) is within the average market.
The reason for the low popularity of "Panorama" lies in the approach to customer service. According to experts, the company's service is not distinguished by promptness and intrusiveness ... to such an extent that information about all options has to be pulled out, as they say, "by a thread."
6 JUICE
Country: Russia
Rating (2022): 4.7

The company is interesting with additional services that will attract buyers living nearby. For example, a company rents out a window cleaning robot to clean a large glass area. In addition to PVC profiles, a lot of related products are presented: window sills, mosquito nets, roller blinds, blinds. The company does not have its own fittings, so the proven Roto NX brand is offered with micro-ventilation technology and burglary protection in the tilt position.

3 Russian windows
Country: Russia
Rating (2022): 4.8
Starting its history in 1996, the Russian Windows company was a small workshop for the manufacture of PVC structures, which eventually turned into a large regional manufacturer. In 2006, the company completely modernized the line, which made it possible to significantly expand the range of products offered and improve its quality characteristics. The configuration of complex and modern equipment supplied to the plant from such leading manufacturers as Bavelloni, Urban and Bystronic was carried out by highly qualified specialists from the EU, who have access to perform this type of work. Also, lines were launched that allow for the lamination of PVC and the manufacture of structures with atypical nature and dimensions.
Plastic windows, doors and other products for repair and construction manufactured by Russian Windows are subject to strict quality control at all stages of production. This guarantees the absence of marriage and the highest quality of the final product. Thanks to this approach, the company in 2013 at the All-Russian competition of manufacturers was awarded the "Consumer Trust" award.Today, Russian Windows offer the widest range of products, while guaranteeing timely delivery and installation, which is confirmed in their reviews by consumers who are completely satisfied with the quality of service.

1 Montblanc
Country: Russia
Rating (2022): 4.9
Montblanc is a subsidiary of the STL-Extrusion group, which has grown significantly in over ten years on the market. Its main asset was the development of an extensive network of dealers, thanks to which the brand has acquired a solid customer base. Not the same as the German brands, but still quite decent.
From the point of view of advantages / disadvantages, the company has a strikingly one-sided positive balance - only the absence of an ISO certificate of conformity at factories located in Russia can be written as a liability. Otherwise, there is a complete idyll: both in terms of window quality, and fittings (provided by partner factories), and in terms of durability. There are (currently) seven types of profiles in the Montblanc range, each with a unique set of chambers and widths to suit different climatic conditions. A good and inexpensive option for glazing houses and apartments.
How to choose the best plastic windows?
The main obstacle on the way to choosing the right plastic window for your house and apartment is the abundance of different profiles. But the difficulties of buyers are associated not only with them - any window has many nuances that can dramatically affect performance. Therefore, in the selection process, iquality.techinfus.com/en/ recommends paying attention to the following aspects:
Profile type. According to well-known standards, window profiles are divided into three groups: deaf, rotary and tilt-and-turn. The former will be suitable for installation in large areas that do not require ventilation. The remaining options, on the contrary, are best purchased in small, ventilated rooms.
number of cameras. Here you should be guided by the following principle: the more cameras a window has, the warmer it will be in the room. Choose the number of double-glazed windows according to climatic conditions: from three for harsh winters, and less if you live in warm regions of the country.
Glass. Recently, manufacturers have moved away from using ordinary glass, replacing it with low-emission samples enriched with silver atoms (even safer, even newer). It is very simple to check this: a lit match in the case of "emission" glass will give not a red, but a violet glow.
Accessories. An element on which we recommend not to save. Whatever the frame (it is also a profile), the main consumable of plastic windows is precisely the fittings (handles, locks and combined awnings).
Manufacturer. Advice, last in order, but the most important in terms of significance. The preliminary selection of the manufacturer will give you the opportunity to look at something in the range, as well as find out the approximate cost of the order. We strongly recommend that you take a closer look at the TOP-15 nominees.
