Glazing

A glass pane are by far the most important part of any window. It to a large extent bespeaks the window's light, heat, and noise permeability. Apart from light, windows let through cold, heat, noise, and deleterious ultraviolet rays. Regular glass is permeable to heat, noise, and almost the entire sun light spectrum. It's also fragile and easy to break.

Glass panes consist of several sheets of glass joined together by a frame. The main part of a glass pane - the glass itself - can be transparent, laminated, patterned, tinted, opaque, reinforced and so on. The requirements raised towards the glass are particularly high: it has to be safe, render the aesthetic image as objectively as possible, and protect against cold, heat, excessive light, and noise. The glass produced today using advanced glass coating technologies does not only protect the inside from the sun but also ensures complete transparency and particularly good light permeability.

• heat saving glass panes with selective glass are filled with argon;
• noise cancelling glass panes use thicker external glass which makes for good noise and heat insulation;
• sun control glass panes use the kind of glass that reduces permeability of the sun's energy;
• safety glass panes have laminated or tempered glass that is resistant to impacts.

A window's heat insulation properties depend not only on the glass but also on the frame that joins the glass sheets together and can be made of:
• Aluminium. Aluminium frames are marked by rather high heat conductivity. It acts as a so called "heat bridge" which causes windows to have dew along the glass pane perimeter on the inside.
• Plastic. This frame is considerably less conductive to heat. A warm frame improves the quality of windows, reduces the likelihood of occurrence of dew, and extends the possible service life of windows.

ACRYLCOLOR

Coloured Pietų Megrame windows made of unique GEALAN ACRYLCOLOR profiles lend any building a bespoke feel. Coloured ACRYLCOLOR windows make even the most unusual designs possible while taking into account regional architectural peculiarities. The palette of hues will satisfy even the most demanding tastes: you are free to choose any colour you find fitting, from noble white to fabulous silver. High ACRYLCOLOR quality standard is marked with the RAL sign of compliance. Coloured GEALAN ACRYLCOLOR profiles are made using a dedicated coextrusion technology which melds white PVC base with a layer of coloured acrylate. External coloured acrylate coating is resistant to mechanical damage and negative environmental exposure. Silky matte coating is non-porous and so it doesn't gather dust or dirt, it doesn't flake or come off, nor does it require painting. ACRYLCOLOR windows are easy to maintain. ACRYLCOLOR windows do not fade and you will not see any changes in colour for long decades.

 

What are the ACRYLCOLOR profiles?

A coloured layer of acrylate is melded onto the surface of PVC profiles at the time of extrusion. The PVC base is welded together with the coloured acrylate layer into a homogeneous mass. The acrylate coating the PVC profiles is resistant to negative environmental exposure. Level, non-porous acrylate coated profile surfaces do not absorb grease and are easy to maintain. Windows profiles coated with coloured acrylate do not fade in the sun.

Coextrusion technology

Coloured GEALAN ACRYLCOLOR profiles are made by means of coextrusion. During the thermal process white profile base is heated with hot metal and melded together with poured over acrylate into a homogeneous mass. Coloured acrylate layer is applied to the surface of a white profile. This way the coextruder produces what is now a two-colour ACRYLCOLOR profile.

The coextrusion process occurs as follows:
1. Melted white PVC mass is fed into the main extruder.
2. The coextruder supplies additional melted mass of coloured acrylate.
3. The two components are melded together inseparably into a homogeneous mass.
4. Acrylate surfaces are polished producing a level and non-porous surface.

 

Advantages of ACRYLCOLOR

External acrylate layer is twice as strong and resistant as the PVC. This is why windows coated with coloured acrylate are more resistant to climate changes and sun rays. Hard acrylate surfaces are difficult to scratch. It is level and non-porous and so does not absorb grease very much and is easy to wash using regular household cleaners. The acrylate is melded with the PVC base into a homogeneous base which is why the acrylate layer will not come off or flake. Acrylate coated windows and doors require no painting.

ACRYLCOLOR longevity

GEALAN has been producing coloured profiles for plastic windows with the help of its unique coextrusion technology for more than 30 years. ACRYLCOLOR profile colours do not fade and remain the same for long decades. ACRYLCOLOR profiles satisfy high quality, functionality, and design requirements.

Unusual surface structure

The ACRYLCOLOR layer is polished which produces a level and non-porous surfaces that do not gather dust or dirt. Acrylate coating does not flake or come off, not does it require painting. ACRYLCOLOR windows are easy to maintain. They do not fade and you will not see any changes in colour for long decades.

Scratch free

Hard surface of coloured acrylate are difficult to scratch which is why ACRYLCOLOR windows can be considered as rigid construction elements. 0.5 mm thick layer of acrylate is thicker than and layer of paint or varnish.

No flaking

The PVC base is welded together with the coloured acrylate layer into a homogeneous mass. The coating doesn't flake or come off.

Persistent colour

Acrylate is a particularly persistent and light material. It is used in production of car lights which is a strong indication of this material's reliability and resistance. Rear car lights are strong indication of acrylate's resistance to northern climate factors.

Strong resistance to negative environmental exposure

From the outside windows are subject to different weather conditions. They have to withstand both heat and cold. Coloured and white window surfaces have to be resistant to sun rays. This is why we choose weather-resistant acrylate for production of coloured profiles. That this materials has been used for production of car lights for many years testifies to its resistance to negative environmental exposure. Window and door profiles coated with coloured acrylate are resistant to constantly changing weather conditions and do not fade in the sun. These windows and doors remain the same for long decades. ACRYLCOLOR windows are also suitable for very cold climate zones.

 

Wood Imitation

For those who value natural things we offer plastic windows and doors laminated with wood imitation film. We also produce windows using profiles laminated with films that have the texture and patterns wood. This is fine alternative for those who want their façade to retain the aesthetics that wood would have given it and at the same time seek to benefit from the advantages of modern window technologies. Windows coated with wood imitation films are recommended both for use as classic style elements when renovating old buildings and for construction of new modern homes.

Windows made of profiles laminated with wood imitation films are fine choice for those who value the beauty of wood and want their plastic windows to look as if made of wood.

A wide selection of patterns and colours enable you to choose exactly what you need. Plastic windows coated with laminate imitating wood texture give buildings a distinctive air.

 

Laminated windows are manufactured using GEALAN profiles which can be laminated from two sides, inside and out, using painted brown mass profiles. A solution like this benefits the image and even open windows look entirely natural with wood-imitation decorative coating fitting the general outlook perfectly.

1. Wide choice of colours and patterns, ideal imitation of wood texture, variety of colours and ornaments
2. Lamination of profiles from both sides using different films - a fine possibility to fit the colour of your windows both to the exterior of your home and its interior
3. ACRYLCOLOR profiles can be laminated from the inside

 

The pattern of the film can be different on the inside and outside of the window. You can also have just one of the sides of the white or ACRYLCOLOR profile laminated.

Aluminium Faceplates

More possibiliries

Plastic window profiles can be covered with aluminium faceplates. Windows and doors made of such profiles incorporate the advantages of both aluminium and plastic in one product. Functionality of aluminium and its modern outlook give the exterior of buildings a distinctive look while windows retain all of the properties characteristic of plastic windows including great heat insulation. Doors and windows covered with aluminium faceplates are strong and long-lasting. A very broad choice of aluminium faceplate colours opens wide possibilities for selection of the most fitting colour or hue.
