– The Profile window only takes up 10 to 20% of the window. The rest is made of glass. Nowadays, the latter no longer consists of just one pane of glass, but of two or even three, which are embedded in the window profile at a certain distance from each other (usually between 14 and 16 millimeters). Chambers are formed in between that are sealed airtight. The air inside is dried in advance so that no moisture can form inside the chambers and the glass can fog up. This space serves as thermal insulation and is usually filled with an inert gas instead of air for this purpose. Such gases are argon or krypton.

– Choose a company that offers you a quality guarantee. This is important because a window profile that is incorrectly installed or damaged in whatever way cannot simply be repaired, but must be replaced entirely.

– When installing the window profile, you should ensure that the joints between the window frame and the wall are well filled. This prevents moisture from penetrating, for example when it rains, and provides better sound insulation. It is also important that you request that the window be secured with dowels on all sides.
– For installation, you should choose the variant in which the lower part of the profile is raised by another. This gives the window profile a sufficient slope.
