KBE "Etalon"

The profile system “Etalon” for KBE plastic windows

The “KBE Etalon” window system is most popular among the KBE systems. Its popularity is natural: this system is universal The universality of the “KBE Etalon” system lies in the fact that it can be used both in most diverse climatic conditions of our country and for all building projects: from apartment houses of bearing-wall construction to elite cottages. At high level of the consumer appeal and irreproachability of the German trademark, the price of “KBE Etalon” remains moderate.

Basic properties of the “KBE Etalon” system:
First of all, windows made of the “KBE Etalon” profile well conserve heat. The heat saving is present at the principle itself of the PVC window construction as a plastic is a bad heat conductor. The multi-chamber construction of profiles uses the air as a heat insulator. Into the “BE Etalon” windows, the single- or two-chamber multiple glass panes with thickness of up to 32 (50) mm (depending on the profile nomenclature article) can be built.

The street noise will not prevent from listening to music or interfere onto night sleep. Depending on the multiple glass pane used, the sound insulation of the “KBE Etalon” windows reaches 46 dB! Is it a lot or little? For example, it is common practice to estimate the street noise of the city at 60 dB while a rustling of pages at 20 dB. In other words, with open windows, you hear a rumbling of megalopolis (60 dB) while, with closed KBE windows, it is lower than a rustling of pages.

The outdoorsy soot and dust will not penetrate through the gaps in the “KBE Etalon” windows — the two-plane sealing system precludes aeration — seals bear against the profile surface. The continuous compaction circuit does not lose its functional properties for years and, owing to elastic material, provides an effortless opening and closing of sashes.
The “KBE Etalon” windows are long-lived. The service life period of the PNC windows is more than 40 years and maintenance charges are small because they do not require repairs and repainting. In addition, the KBE profile does not deteriorate during 40 years. 40 years later, its qualitative characteristics remain within normal limits and permit its further service. Within 40 years, the KBE profile loses only 2% of whiteness which is indiscernible for human view. The changes in color are only recognized with the use of special optical instruments.

And, finally, the “KBE Etalon” plastic windows are beautiful and convenient. The profile edges are rounded. Combined with thin window sashes, a construction has the elegant appearance. A variety of colors and wood grain finish gives a free hand in choice of decoration.
