PVC windows that appeared in Russia back in the mid-90s of the 20th century proved their reliability and functionality. But the question of their safety for health continues to worry. We will try to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of plastic structures and figure out how substantiated these fears.
Polyvinyl chloride is one of the very first artificial materials. It was received in the laboratory in 1835. In the first half of the 20th century, the industrial production of this material unique in its characteristics was established. In the 60s, the first windows made of plastic appeared, by the end of the century they reached Russia and began to conquer the market. Today, plastic windows are well -versed: they are installed in apartments, private houses, institutions, including kindergartens, hospitals, sanatoriums.
Get PVC from ordinary table salt. A number of chemical reactions leads to the formation of heat -resistant, durable material, which perfectly withstands the effect of both low and high temperatures. This plastic material is used both in everyday life – for example, for the production of electric teapots, and in medicine – in the manufacture of blood vessels for donor blood. Hypoallergenic material does not secrete chemicals and perfectly preserves substances due to its unique properties.
Plastic windows have long been popular in Germany. The Germans carefully monitor their health, pay a lot of attention of ecology. And at the same time put in the houses of the windows from PVC. Plastic windows give preferences and very prosperous citizens of this country. For 50 years, a plastic pipeline has been used to supply drinking water. Why? Laboratory studies confirmed that this material does not harm human health.
Plasticity, sound – and heat -insulating qualities make PVC windows really indispensable. Especially in Russia, where in winter reliable protection against cold is needed, and in the summer – from the heat. Plastic does not support combustion, is not subject to corrosion, various atmospheric phenomena do not have a destructive effect on PVC. In addition, the range of shapes and colors of such products is simply huge – you can choose an economical or, conversely, expensive, prestigious option for decorating a window opening.
Excellent qualitative characteristics allow plastic not only to compose successful competition of wood, but also to lead. This victory of artificial material favorably affects the state of the planet as a whole: after all, the number of cut down trees decreases.
