High comfort, health and safety in your house
WINDOW APPEARANCE
Well selected profiles are becoming a dominant element of the building’s façade and determine the style of house interior. The selected shape and colour of a window will give your house an individual character.
RECOMMENDED APPLICATIONS
COLOURS
ARTECH COMFORT line windows are available in more than 200 colours – RAL colours, veneers in the colours of wood and aluminium. Colours do not change their shade under changing weather conditions. The most popular ones are presented below:
HANDLES
A few colour versions of handles are available.
COLOURS OF GASKETS
2 colours of rubber gaskets are available: grey and black.
INTER-GLAZING FRAMES
7 colours of frames are available.
GEORGIAN BARS
14 patterns. Simple way to distinguish windows, make them lighter and more individual.
ENERGY EFFICIENCY
In new houses, windows take an increasing area of walls. In order to reduce heat losses, only windows of low thermal transmittance UW for the whole window shall be used. The lower the parameter, the less energy escapes outwards.
The following elements are applied in ARTECH COMFORT windows ensuring a very good thermal transmittance value for the whole window:
FLOAT 3-pane (36mm) or 2-pane (24mm) glazing unit 
2 panes are coated with thermal insulation from inside and inter-glazing space is filled with noble gas (argon). This allows heat to be freely transmitted inside, preventing heat from “escaping” out. Thermal transmittance value is low, Ug 0.7 W/mK, warranting warm window.
70 or 80 mm deep 6-chambered profile
2 gaskets
Thermal transmittance UW for representative 1 x 1 m Artech Comfort window (3 glazing panes, 70 mm Artech profile) is 1,1 W/ m2K.
FUNCTIONALITY
Functionality of a window is not limited just to the possibility to open and tilt a window. Use innovative solutions of ARTECH COMFORT line, which will make the use of windows and balcony doors easier.
Handle-controlled brake of balcony doors– open balcony doors do not close in case of draught or wind.
Balcony doors in version with low aluminium doorsill, allowing balcony doors to be flush faced with a floor.
Closing balcony doors from outwards – especially useful for e.g. smokers. Little pull handle and special fittings allow for closing balcony doors from outwards.
Window ventilation (small tilt) – protects a room against water condensation on glass panes and the risk of mould formation. It is also a good choice during rainy days (rain is not falling inside) and protection against mosquitoes.
Blocking of wind tilt –
tilt window/ balcony door does not close in case of draught.
The highest quality easy-to-close fittings by German Siegenia company (Titan model) – sash does not drop because the system automatically raises the sash during closing.
Blocking system protecting against improper handling for tilt and turn windows/ balcony doors, e.g. protecting against sash falling out from a top hinge.
VENTILATION
All PVC windows are “ultra-tight” and may cause excessive air humidity level in a room, followed by increased risk of mould formation. On the other side, air exchange, especially in winter, costs a vast amount of precious energy. Venting through an open or tilted window occurs very rapidly, causing serious heat losses in a short period of time (approx. 2°C in 10 minutes); therefore, use our innovative ventilation solutions provided in ARTECH COMFORT line – choose the best option for you:
3-position tilt
Multi-function handle allows for a 3-position tilting of a window in a very simple and comfortable way. Turn it to one of three positions – to select small, medium or large tilt, depending on current needs and weather conditions.
Micro-ventilation
Instead of opening a window or balcony doors, position a handle in a 2-3 mm trickle ventilation position, ensuring proper air exchange. That system keeps mosquitoes outside in the summer, as well as water in rainy days. Trickle ventilation is used in tilt and turn windows and balcony doors.
Winter – summer tilt
Specjalny przełącznik umożliwia zmianę kąta rozchyłu okna, a co za tym idzie, dopasowanie stopnia wentylacji do panujących warunków pogodowych. Latem wybieramy większy, a zimą mniejszy uchył. Dzięki temu w chłodne dni ograniczamy straty ciepła, jednocześnie dbając o właściwą cyrkulację powietrza i zdrową atmosferę.
ACOUSTIC INSULATION
Noise influences on our health and comfort. If you live nearby a noisy street or in the district where children make a lot of noise, and you want to comfortably rest after work, use ARTECH COMFORT windows. Suitable noise reduction coefficient Rw * at the level of 31 dB will protect you against unwanted noise from outside.
* *Acoustic insulation of windows is expressed using noise reduction coefficient Rw given in decibels (dB). The higher the Rw value, the less noise gets inside.
If, outdoor sound pressure level is 70 dB (e.g. passing truck) and Rw parameter for a window is 31 dB, the sound pressure inside will be at the level of 39dB.
WINDOW RIGIDITY
Each building expands and contracts, and so initiated stress may potentially damage a window. Therefore, our profiles are built from 6 chambers, steel reinforced along the whole perimeter.
