Range of hardware
High-quality hardware is exceptionally important for the window to
function perfectly because it plays a role of a link for a complete
window control. The concept of the window hardware unites quite a
large number of various devices: handles, hinges, turning and opening
devices, knots forming a unified system. This system is intended for
the direct opening/closing of window panels, as well as provides tight
connection of frames with the opening.

16. Advantages And
Disadvantages
Aluminum:
Pros…
• Aluminium windows are cheaper and are the standard with most
mainstream builders even in high end homes.
• This makes it easier, quicker, and cheaper to get parts and much
needed glass repairs.
• Most local window companies can repair your windows whereas
with some wood brand windows you may have to go to a service
company that specialises in that particular brand of window again
making it cheaper on repairs.
• Aluminium is more durable than wood and vinyl and will not rot.
Cons…
• Aluminium is a bad conductor of cold and heat which transmits
from the outside inside and vice-versa meaning energy loss. The
only exception to this is a window that comes with a thermal break
between the outside aluminium and the inside aluminium, still this is
still less energy efficiency then other styles but a better solution is if
you can install thermal break windows rather than standard
aluminium.
STUDY PAPER:UVA1D1 Ergashev Abdujabbor "16

17. • Condensation or sweating occurs when it’s cold outside and warm
inside the much like a glass of cold water sweats when left in a warm
room, left long enough it can absorb into to wood causing it to swell
or leave water stains on the sheet rock that surrounds the window.
• The glass airspace between the outside and the inside glass tends to
be narrower again making it less energy efficient.
• Noise transmits through the aluminium framing more than Vinyl or
wood style windows. After several years the anodised pain on the
outside will fade from the elements.
• You can’t get Casement and Awning style windows in aluminium
unless it is the outside cladding of a wood window.
Plastic:
Pros…
• uPVC windows and doors are highly weather resistant
Unless it’s extremely old and damaged by time, uPVC is extremely
resistant against bad wet weather. Due to its nonporous nature, rain
will simply bounce and drip right off again.
• uPVC is environmentally friendly and is recyclable
uPVC windows and doors won’t impact on the environment once
they’re made and fitted. And if you want to get rid of it before it’s
broken down and in need of replacement, you can recycle it.
STUDY PAPER:UVA1D1 Ergashev Abdujabbor "17

18. • Very little maintenance is needed
While over time you can expect some discolouration, uPVC windows
and doors will need very little maintenance. Just a quick little clean
every now and then when it gets dirty is all it needs, and perhaps a bit
of oil whenever locking mechanisms get stiff, but that’s the case with
any type of door.
• It won’t change shape or warp over time
Unlike wood, which warps slightly every time it gets wet and dries out
again, uPVC will keep its structure until the end of its lifespan.
• It has a respectable lifespan
You can expect uPVC windows and doors to last roughly 35 years,
though this will depend on the uPVC quality and fitting standard.
Many companies will offer a long-lasting guarantee and there are
plenty of these companies around due to uPVC’s popularity.
Cons...
• uPVC windows and doors can look ugly and uninspired
If you want a set of windows and doors which are representative of
you and which look like nobody else’s, uPVC won’t be the option for
you. They’re much less flexible than other materials in terms of their
design and shape. Check out this article for information on composite
doors, the best all-round performer when it comes to doors.
STUDY PAPER:UVA1D1 Ergashev Abdujabbor "18

19. • uPVC is cheap
This can be a positive thing, but it’s cheap for a reason. While it offers
some exemplary benefits, it can cheapen the value of older buildings
which have history and character as their main selling point. It’s a
cheap material and will only suit generic modern-style buildings.
• It’s actually hazardous to the environment when initially
created and upon being destroyed
Despite it being eco-friendly while it is in place on your windows and
doors, uPVC, as with any plastic product, gives off dangerous fumes
when it is created and destroyed.
• It becomes brittle over time and discolours
While it lasts a good two or three decades, towards the end of its life
uPVC can become a murkier shade of what it once was. It will also
break down to the point that it’s unfixable, so you’ll have to replace it
rather than repair it.
• It’s made from an unsustainable resource
We all know wood comes from trees and that there is the opportunity
to plant new ones when the old ones are cut down, but uPVC is
reliant on oil supplies which will eventually run out. It’s therefore not
particularly green because it is exploiting a non-renewable source
material.

21. New Technological Line
• The installation of the new technological line on production of
EPDM seals for plastic and aluminium structures was finished at the
production plant.
• Production line with capacity up to 100 tons of rubber seals per
month was installed.
• As raw material EPDM rubber is used.
EPDM – Ethylene Propylene Diene Monomer.
One of the main advantages of the seals on the basis of EPDM is the
resistance to ozone exposure and weather conditions. EPDM does not
crack, warp, and retains its shape and elasticity after prolonged
exertions, does not absorb water and is plastic and soft material.
Rubber EPDM seals provide for sealing, heat and sound insulation,
can withstand all kinds atmospheric impacts and serve at least for 15
years.
All the components used in the manufacturing process as well as
finished products are analysed in our own laboratory to guarantee a
high quality of the final product.
Warm doors will warm your house in any weather!
The doors of "warm" aluminum are used in premises with high
requirements of heat insulation: heated living accommodations and
STUDY PAPER:UVA1D1 Ergashev Abdujabbor "21

22. offices, service establishments. Entrance groups and office partitions
are also made of "warm" aluminum.
The main advantage of the entrance doors of the "warm" aluminium
is high durability and reliability with good heat and sound insulation.
The peculiarity of the design is an insulating insert made of
polyamide between two aluminium profiles. Such doors are very
durable, because the material is resistant to temperature changes, the
impact of ultraviolet radiation, mechanical impacts and corrosion.
Aluminium doors of the "warm" aluminium retain heat well, reduce
noise levels, are practical in care, environmentally safe and have
modern appearance.
For production of doors AKFA uses EuroTERMO-6000 profile
with 60 mm width of any colour, which provides the durability and
reliability of the structure. Tight locking is achieved by ROTO
accessories of German production. The profile is filled with one - or
two-chamber glazing units on a client's request.
Advantages of doors made of the Euro TERMO profile:
• High quality products.
• Reliability of structures.
• Aluminium profile with heat-insulation insert.
• Heat-insulation inserts of polyamide.
• Durability of material.
