The most important part of the window is the profile. I strongly recommend not to save money and not to take the cheapest no-name profile, for one reason. Typically, the warranty on windows, namely the profile, lasts from 3 to 10 years. If the profile itself is frankly weak, then its use guarantees that the company you contacted is also weak. In fact, you will get bad windows with minimal guarantees, because there are many one-year-old companies (we tried 1-2 seasons, it didn’t work, they closed). Moreover, by contacting such a company, you risk what you are supposed to be more or less good profile They’ll slip you a cheap one, but they’ll take the money as if it were decent money, we’ve encountered such cases. That's why perfect option- choose a high-quality profile company, for example, Krauss (all characteristics and reviews about it can be found further on the page) and order windows from one of the factory’s clients. Happy renovation!

The history of this profile system began in 2006.

The Russian company Astek-MT registered the Krauss trademark and began producing plastic windows and doors at modern equipment extrusion equipment purchased from the famous Austrian company Technoplast. Krauss PVC profiles are an entirely domestic product, therefore, the assurances of managers of some window sales companies that Krauss products are made in Germany are not true.

Experts find that the construction of Krauss PVC profiles reproduces the famous German brand KBE - in terms of quality they are in no way inferior to the products of the famous German manufacturer. This gives them a great advantage in the domestic market, since many residents of our country cannot afford expensive plastic windows and doors, but want to get a quality product for their money.

Reviews of plastic windows Krauss

Galina. The window in the kitchen needed to be replaced a long time ago, but I couldn’t allocate the finances for this task. When I had an extra penny, I decided to invest it in replacing the window. In winter it was simply impossible to go into the kitchen - the draft from the window was terrible and almost all the heat was evaporated. I contacted this company that my mother had once contacted and seemed to be satisfied with the company. The company offered a choice of windows and told me about each window so that I had an idea of ​​what criteria to use to determine my choice. I wanted the window to have good thermal insulation and sound insulation, and also to look neat on the outside.

The manager immediately said that Krauss windows, which are also made of safe materials, which to the human body will not harm. We agreed on the delivery time for the window, as well as the day and time of its installation. The installers arrived on time. I liked that they were neat and even after finishing all the work they removed all the rubbish after themselves. The installers installed the window quickly and without any defects. The window looks very nice and stylish. Soundproofing and thermal insulation of windows top level. Now I’m thinking about replacing all the windows in the apartment with Krauss windows.

Vadim. Before winter, we decided to replace our parents’ old windows with plastic ones. Choosing among various offers, we settled on KRAUSS 5800 due to the good price-quality ratio. They were installed securely. During operation there are no complaints about them.

Provide good sound insulation, the screams of the children on the playground in front of the house are now practically inaudible. They open easily, the mechanism is reliable and the handle is comfortable. Thanks to them, the apartment became really warmer in winter. The profile is not afraid of temperature changes and does not lose its appearance. Overall, we are happy with the windows and they look very decent from the outside.

Vasily Petrovich. Several years ago, we urgently, due to the prevailing circumstances, purchased an apartment located next to the railway. Of course it was very noisy. We got wooden windows from the previous owners and the audibility was simply amazing. Before we moved, we installed Krauss plastic windows. Why them? The seller highly recommended them, especially since they have high sound insulation and their cost is quite acceptable and moderate. In practice, PVC windows performed excellently; the noise of trains was heard remotely and loud sounds were muffled.

There were no complaints or complaints during further operation. We lived in this apartment for about five years, the fittings on the double-glazed windows did not break and retained their original appearance. The apartment was very warm, the windows kept it warm, as the tight fit contributed to this. Now we live in a different, quiet and peaceful area; we sold that apartment and purchased a more comfortable and larger one. But since we purchased it again on the secondary market, we had to change the windows. We installed already tested and inspected Krauss profile windows. It is still warm and quiet here, the double-glazed windows did not freeze, even in this harsh winter.

Blitz survey: When choosing a plastic window, what is important to pay attention to?

From the article you will learn:

The history of this profile system began in 2006. The Russian company Astek-MT has registered a trademark Krauss, and began producing plastic windows and doors using modern extrusion equipment purchased from a well-known Austrian company Technoplast. Krauss PVC profiles are an entirely domestic product, therefore, assurances from managers of some window sales companies that the products Krauss made in Germany are not true.

Experts find that the construction of Krauss PVC profiles reproduces the famous German brand KBE - in terms of quality they are in no way inferior to the products of the famous German manufacturer. This gives them a great advantage in the domestic market, since many residents of our country cannot afford expensive plastic windows and doors, but want to get a quality product for their money.

Using our own recipes for preparing mixtures allows us to obtain a consistently high-quality formula. Experts define it as universal for all climatic conditions of Russia.

The Krauss profile provides effective thermal insulation, which significantly saves space heating costs in winter. Windows made from Krauss PVC profiles are durable and practical, easy to use and maintain, and serve for a long time without losing their original appearance.

Hide

The surname Kraus (something like the Russian “Kudryashov”) is common in German-speaking countries. People with this surname also work in the construction industry. There are several well-known companies with names like Krauss bau or Kraus GMBH. Finally, there is the world famous KraussMaffei Berstorff company for the production of extruders for the processing of plastics and rubber. Therefore, when it comes to Krauss profile systems, people usually assume that we are talking about German products.

The emergence and development of the Krauss brand

Krauss production line in Krymsk

But that's not true.

Brand Krauss owned by a Russian company Astek-MT, founded in 2002. In 2006, the company bought from an Austrian manufacturer of extrusion equipment Technoplast four lines for the production of PVC window profiles and began producing them under the Krauss brand.

Production is located in the city of Krymsk, Krasnodar Territory. There is even an opinion that the first three letters in the profile designation are an abbreviation for the word Krasnodar. What the other three mean – everyone is free to guess! Maybe Union Soviet Socialist?

Krauss PVC Profile Extrusion

In 2007, thanks to investments from Turkey, Astek-MT managed to increase the number of plastic profile extrusion lines to 9 and launch the production of aluminum profiles for glazing windows, doors, furniture sliding systems and aluminum structures for general construction purposes. In addition, the company sells Turkish fittings for windows and doors. Fornax, including those providing tilt-and-turn opening.

Krauss products

Of the variety of products manufactured under the Krauss brand, in this article we will highlight three areas related to windows: "Krauss - PVC", "Krauss - aluminum profile" And "Krauss - accessories".

Plastic windows Krauss

Krauss plastic profiles

Experts find that structurally, Krauss PVC profiles reproduce the famous German brand. There are three models for the customer to choose from:

• three-chamber Krauss 5800 series
• also three-chamber Krauss 7300 series
• and five-chamber Krauss 7500 series

Information about Krauss PVC profiles is summarized in table below:

Glazing of an apartment in Bryansk with Krauss profile

The parameters of Krauss profiles limit their use in northern regions RF. Krauss profile systems are used mainly in regions with warm and temperate climates

Series 5800 good for glazing residential buildings in the southern regions and balconies, loggias, verandas, dachas in middle lane Russia.

Series 7300 can be used for glazing residential buildings in the Central Federal District, but real comfort at the latitude of Moscow will be brought by Krauss plastic windows of the 7500 series.

It remains to add that Krauss profile systems are positioned on the market as budget ones. The main feature is not the design, not the number of cameras, but high environmental friendliness: the raw materials for the production of plastic profiles are supplied from the Japanese concern Mitsubishi and meet the highest safety standards.

Aluminum profile Krauss

Glazing of a cottage with aluminum profile Krauss

Cold glazing from Krauss is similar to Spanish. Krauss sliding windows are mounted on a profile C640. It allows you to install glass up to 5 mm thick, is lightweight, and does not require much space for installation (installation depth for the frame is 60 mm). They are convenient to use on loggias and balconies.

A swing analogue of the aluminum Kraus profile C640 is the profile P400. In general, apart from the functional differences, it repeats the parameters of its sliding brother.

For warm glazing of windows, a three-chamber aluminum profile is used KRW-57 with thermal bridge. Its thickness is 57 mm. The 22 mm wide thermal bridge is located in the middle chamber and, as it were, “breaks” the cold-conducting aluminum profile structure.

Glazing of the administration of Ivanteevka, Moscow region, with Krauss aluminum profile

The fittings provide tilt-and-turn opening of the window sash.

Similar aluminum three-chamber design KRD-66 for doors. As the reader guessed, its thickness is 66 mm, and the width of the thermal bridge is 12 mm.

For warm stained glass glazing, an aluminum system with a thermal bridge is used KRW-92. Its different options allow the use of double-glazed windows with a thickness of 24 and 32 mm; The frame width reaches 100 mm.

Used for façade glazing profile system KRF-50, for cold glazing of doors - profile system KRD-48. However, the latter allows the installation of not only single glass up to 6 mm thick, but also a 24 mm double-glazed window.

About accessories

Do not confuse Fornax fittings, which are sold by the owner of the Krauss trademark, Astek-MT, through its branches and affiliated organizations, with Kraus fittings from the Austrian company Kraus GmbH (sold in Russia through the Kraus-Rus division). The difference with the name of the Russian trademark is only one letter, but these are completely different things.

Krauss profile, Fornax fittings

Fornax fittings are designed for tilt-and-turn opening of windows. A significant feature is the minimization of assembly units. There are only five of them. Of these, three are selected depending on the size and shape of the window. The other two are permanent.

With its assembly and technological minimalism, Fornax provides all the standard options inherent in systems of this kind. Including pressure adjustment, blocking from incorrect opening of the window, anti-burglary elements and the like.

The fittings comply with Russian GOST standards, have a characteristic silver color, and the ease of turning the handle is ensured by the roller elements of the trunnions. Positioned as very reasonably priced.

Official Krauss website
