INSTALLATION OF WINDOW JOINERY IN FULLGLASS TECHNOLOGY
Our customers often ask about the installation of our latest product - FullGlass windows, doors and patio doors. This most innovative product technology is based on PVC - tight, with very good thermal parameters, practically maintenance-free, so we decided to choose this raw material as a basis, says Marcin Mikołajczyk, Artech's Chief Engineer.
Guidelines of the Building Research Institute (ITB) shall be applied to the installation of window joinery. Proper installation and maintenance will ensure failure-free use of PVC window joinery for many years to come.
The installation of Artech FullGlass windows and doors is based on the same rules as the installation of PVC windows and doors.
Before taking a decision who will perform the installation in our house, it is worth checking the opinions on the installation company, because my experience confirms that in 99% of cases, the complaints about window joinery in our company result from incorrectly performed installation.
Our guarantee liability is limited to installations carried out in accordance with the "Installation and Maintenance Instructions" provided to our Customers.

Uneven window seating, incomplete sealing causes window deformation, penetration of rainwater into the interior, draughts, wall dampness.
Excessive expansion joint clearance on the window frame side causes water vapour to condensate on the panes, air to enter the room, and after some time, water to leak into the room.
