BEAUTY AND DESIGN
KOMMERLING PVCu window systems offer the most varied styles and designs. The technical limitations of the past have been overcome and today's KOMMERLING PVCu windows and doors can be fitted into any type of property from residential houses and apartments to commercial buildings such as hotels, hospitals and modern office blocks. With there great versatility, the KOMMERLING PVCu windows and doors will satisfy any taste in style and design and have proven to be the best material even for the restoration of historical buildings. |

WEATHER RESISTANCE
More than any other building material, KOMMERLING PVCu windows and doors keep their excellent material properties even after many years in use. As a matter of fact, they do not alter under extreme temperature or weathering. Thanks to KOMMERLING owned material compound of the PVCu profiles, they show no negative effects caused by heavy rain, snow, strong sun or smog. They do not rot, corrode nor warp and even after many years, the windows are still attractive, perfectly tight and working well. |

MAXIMUM WIND RESISTANCE
Due to their excellent material properties, KOMMERLING PVCu windows and doors are ideal for being installed in buildings close to the sea where they are permanently exposed to strong winds, heavy rain and salty air. The windows have passed several severe tests by official institutions. All window types are capable of withstanding the tests specified in BS (British Standards) 5368, Part 3 1978 (wind resistance test up to a wind pressure of 2400PA). Therefore, KOMMERLING profiles can also be fitted in high rise buildings without any problems. |

LONG LIFE
Thanks to modern technology, KOMMERLING PVCu windows and doors will practically last for ever. For this reason, they are an excellent investment for your home as they do not involve any future maintenance costs. Furthermore, combined with modern thermal insulation glass, KOMMERLING profiles will help to achieve sustainable energy saving effect and are, therefore, an even better investment. |

MAINTENANCE FREE
KOMMERLING PVCu window and door systems do not require regular repainting and expensive maintenance. They do not rot, warp nor corrode even in tropical and salty coastal climates. Therefore, there maintenance is reduced to simple cleaning and does not involve any further costs.

EFFICIENT THERMAL INSULATION
No matter which climate KOMMERLING windows and doors are installed - they contribute to a cozy and comfortable atmosphere in your home. As the design of KOMMERLING system prevents thermal bridging, the thermal insulating performance of the finished window is exceptionally good. The glazing is also of utmost importance for good thermal values, also contributing to a substantial energy saving. Window and door systems from KOMMERLING eliminate the problems of water condensation on the window pains inside the house. In official tests, the KOMMERLING window profiles easily pass the test for Class 1 according to DIN 4108 (thermal conductivity of window materials) thus fulfilling the highest demands for thermal insulation. |

HIGH ACOUSTIC INSULATION
The protection against noise is an essential characteristic of a modern window in order to insure a comfortable life both at home and in the office. Sound insulation in the KOMMERLING profile design is inherently good. It is further enhanced by fitted steel reinforcing and by choosing the appropriate glass. KOMMERLING PVCu windows come up to the German DIN standard for sound insulation Class 5, (high acoustic insulation) DIN 4109. |

MAXIMUM WATER TICHTNESS
KOMMERLING PVCu window and door systems have been successfully used in swimming pools, marine and ocean environments without detriment to the surface finish or performance. One of the main assets of KOMMERLING window and door systems is their resistance to driving raining rain in their joint tightness. KOMMERLING PVCu profiles fulfill the demands of DIN 18055 (resistance to driving rain). All window types are designed to be water tight when tested up to 300PA limit specified in BS 3675: performance of windows Part 1, 1989: classification for weather tightness. Some types achieve a 600PA rating. |

PROTECTION AGAINST BURGLARY
High strength window and door profiles made of PVCu offer the best solution for increased safety. Special fittings in glazing, qualified window fabrication and expert installation make the window worthy of being termed "burglar proof".

|
FIRE RESISTANCE
Fire tests have shown that KOMMERLING PVCu materials, being naturally flame retardant through their product life, will not cause, support or enhance the natural development of fie. Unlike timber windows, the PVCu sections do not support combustion are in fact self extinguishing. This quality prevents the promotion of fire spread. For this reason, KOMMERLING window systems offer considerable fire protection. The special profile compound possesses a fire retardant rating according to DIN 4102. It also fulfills Class 1 Therefore, KOMMERLING profiles are an effective means of preventive fire protection. |

STRUCTURAL AND MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE
The high performance compound used and developed exclusively by KOMMERLING is KOMALIT Z. The longevity and superior quality of this material has been conclusively proven over 30 years. The KOMMERLING own material compound performs to world wide standards for strength, durability, head stability, colour retention, and termite resistance. KOMALIT Z in fact significantly exceeds the stringent requirements to the highest classification of DIN standard 77498 for impact resistance. This fact provides an additional margin of safety to the quality of the product during fabrication, installation and service. |

|
The extrusive process of PVCu window and door profiles is relatively energy efficient, compared to other materials. Another benefit: where PVCu has been specified as an alternative to wood, the rate of forests is slowed. PVCu window and door systems are environmentally friendly as they can be fully recycled and reused for the production of PVCu profiles.
