Aplast windows
OPENING
Since the beginning of time, people have been seeking for the “opening”. Even since the times of the
cracks and prehistoric walls, the small windows of Middle Ages and until the times of houses with
walls of windows, people have been trying to feel protected, but at the same time to be in a
permanent contact with the environment. So this is how it all began... with the desire of the
“opening”.

The window is a solution and a dynamic link between the house and the external environment, it can
protect or interact with the nature. The complexity of a window and the multiple characteristics within
it makes each project unique.

Aplast windows bring added value to any building and by their energy efficiency the investment is
payed off in time.




PEOPLE. IDEAS. VISIONS.
These are the necessary ingredients to create something outstanding. These are the elements which
transformed Aplast in one of the leading manufacturers of windows and doors with thermal-
insulating systems in Romania.

We are part of a well established european family. We are constantly investing in new technologies
research so we can bring to the market the most innovative solutions.

Imagine colors and space in all possible shapes. Imagine functionality in a lasting and easy to
maintain window. Imagine a window that can rather open the world more than close it.

These are the Aplast windows, windows that make the impossible possible.

First of all, we must talk about light. Light is
            the origin of life and everything was
            generated by it. Light is energy, vitality,
            colour and therefore it plays an essential role
            in the design and the layout of a window.Try
            to create in your home your own type of
            "opening” that could offer as much natural
            light as possible.

            You can start by ensuring a proper
            illumination of the living room or dinning
            room, since these are the areas where we
            spend most of our time. Then, you can see
            about your children's rooms.

            Natural light plays an important role in their
            psycho-motor development from the first
            moments of their life to their first homework
            and readings.

Elegance and gracefulness
Slim windows have a fine simple design. The profiles that are used for their frame are meant to be
very subtle. Due to this fact, a larger surface of the window is made of glass and therefore natural light
can penetratre into the room much more easily compared to the other types of windows.

A better lighting is ensured all day long and the need of artificial lighting is reduced. Meanwhile, the
level of thermal insulation is much higher. The rounded surface of the frame creates a fascinating

Windows from the future
Behind the Vision windows lay a series of remarkable technologies that make us think of the future, but that
are available today. Vision windows mean 100% efficiency, quality and innovation.

100% efficiency because they offer an insulation level which is close to perfection, regardless the season.
100% quality because they are made of spectacular raw materials and using the best technologies.
100% innovation because every aspect which defines Vision windows is unique.

Vision windows do not only mean protection and low upkeep expenses, they also mean responsibility
towards the environment by the fact that they diminish the energy loss, sustaining a global project which is
still in the phase of “vision”, but which is transformed in reality by Vision windows today.

The technologies which transform Vision windows into a remarkable product are the following:
- The extremely efficient and reliable profiles;
- New Dual Protect Extreme glass which really offers an extreme protection;
- The new technology of brazing the glass to the frame which helps making the window tougher and
increases the level of solar, thermal and phonic insulation;
- The inbuilt steel reinforcement which eliminates the standard steel reinforcement and leads to the
decrease of the windows weight;
- The supplementary gasket system offers a better impermeability.

These are the technologies which transform Vision windows into an impressive product, which has no equal
currently.
Vision windows are the solution of the future, available at the present day.

GLASS AND SOLAR RADIATION
GREENHOUSE EFFECT

Solar energy that gets into a room through a window is absorbed by objects and the interior walls. By
heating, they are releasing thermal radiation. The Low-E glass keeps this thermal energy inside the
house and facilitates the development of the greenhouse effect. For example, the greenhouse effect
can be observed in a car which is stationary in the sunlight with closed windows.

SOLAR PROTECTION

To avoid heating effects due to the greenhouse effect we can:
1. ensure air flow;
2. use shutters for shading;
3. use windows with low energy transmission - "solar control glass”.

Along with the usage of Dual Protect glass, the window became a mean of reducing the expenses
during summer time.                                                                                          Compared to the other types of glass, Dual Protect Extreme glass offers an impressive solar

Dual Protect ensures:
- Thermal insulation during winter and reduces the heating expenses;
- Heat insulation during summer and reduces the ventilation expenses, air conditioning being less
used.

With this type of glass the elimination of greenhouse effect takes place without diminishing the
natural light.
You do not need to use shading systems to remove heat from the building. You can now enjoy natural
light during summer and meanwhile, avoid overheating of the rooms exposed to solar rays by using
windows with Dual Protect glass.

Dual Protect is a solar control glass. This type of glass is superior to Low-E glass and meets the current
needs of the customers affected by global heating.

Aplast windows

  • 2. OPENING Since the beginning of time, people have been seeking for the “opening”. Even since the times of the cracks and prehistoric walls, the small windows of Middle Ages and until the times of houses with walls of windows, people have been trying to feel protected, but at the same time to be in a permanent contact with the environment. So this is how it all began... with the desire of the “opening”. The window is a solution and a dynamic link between the house and the external environment, it can protect or interact with the nature. The complexity of a window and the multiple characteristics within it makes each project unique. Aplast windows bring added value to any building and by their energy efficiency the investment is payed off in time. PEOPLE. IDEAS. VISIONS. These are the necessary ingredients to create something outstanding. These are the elements which transformed Aplast in one of the leading manufacturers of windows and doors with thermal- insulating systems in Romania. We are part of a well established european family. We are constantly investing in new technologies research so we can bring to the market the most innovative solutions. Imagine colors and space in all possible shapes. Imagine functionality in a lasting and easy to maintain window. Imagine a window that can rather open the world more than close it. These are the Aplast windows, windows that make the impossible possible. 3
  • 3. First of all, we must talk about light. Light is the origin of life and everything was generated by it. Light is energy, vitality, colour and therefore it plays an essential role in the design and the layout of a window.Try to create in your home your own type of "opening” that could offer as much natural light as possible. You can start by ensuring a proper illumination of the living room or dinning room, since these are the areas where we spend most of our time. Then, you can see about your children's rooms. Natural light plays an important role in their psycho-motor development from the first moments of their life to their first homework and readings. LIGHT 4

A special attention must be paid to the ones the angle of incidence of the sunlight is greater in the summer facing west because in the summer time, during the period time). when they are exposed to direct sunlight, outdoor temperatures are very high. The glass with solar control properties and the shutters are recommended for this type of windows. The shutters mounted on the outside provide maximum protection.

WINDOWS TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS Ÿ Mounting depth 60 mm Ÿ 3 isolation chambers Ÿ Thermal insulation of the profile Kp= 1,6 W/m²K Ÿ Thermal insulation of the glass Kg= 1, 1 W/m²K Ÿ G-U joinery Elegance and gracefulness Slim windows have a fine simple design. The profiles that are used for their frame are meant to be very subtle. Due to this fact, a larger surface of the window is made of glass and therefore natural light can penetratre into the room much more easily compared to the other types of windows. A better lighting is ensured all day long and the need of artificial lighting is reduced. Meanwhile, the level of thermal insulation is much higher. The rounded surface of the frame creates a fascinating impression of delicacy. Slim windows can be used for any type of residential building. 15

The frames made of 70 mm profiles are thick and solid, confering to the windows an extraordinary reliability. Robusto windows will always look like new, being easy to handle and amazingly lasting. Windows are meant to be used for a very long time, Robusto windows being the best evidence. Their unique qualities make your home a more comfortable place from the first day and they maintain their qualities year after year. If you choose the revolutionary glass called Dual Protect, the qualities of the windows are extraordinary increased. 17

Vision windows mean 100% efficiency, quality and innovation. 100% efficiency because they offer an insulation level which is close to perfection, regardless the season. 100% quality because they are made of spectacular raw materials and using the best technologies. 100% innovation because every aspect which defines Vision windows is unique. Vision windows do not only mean protection and low upkeep expenses, they also mean responsibility towards the environment by the fact that they diminish the energy loss, sustaining a global project which is still in the phase of “vision”, but which is transformed in reality by Vision windows today. The technologies which transform Vision windows into a remarkable product are the following: - The extremely efficient and reliable profiles; - New Dual Protect Extreme glass which really offers an extreme protection; - The new technology of brazing the glass to the frame which helps making the window tougher and increases the level of solar, thermal and phonic insulation; - The inbuilt steel reinforcement which eliminates the standard steel reinforcement and leads to the decrease of the windows weight; - The supplementary gasket system offers a better impermeability. These are the technologies which transform Vision windows into an impressive product, which has no equal currently. Vision windows are the solution of the future, available at the present day. 19

  • 17. GLASS AND SOLAR RADIATION GREENHOUSE EFFECT Solar energy that gets into a room through a window is absorbed by objects and the interior walls. By heating, they are releasing thermal radiation. The Low-E glass keeps this thermal energy inside the house and facilitates the development of the greenhouse effect. For example, the greenhouse effect can be observed in a car which is stationary in the sunlight with closed windows. SOLAR PROTECTION To avoid heating effects due to the greenhouse effect we can: 1. ensure air flow; 2. use shutters for shading; 3. use windows with low energy transmission - "solar control glass”. CLEAR + CLEAR CLEAR + LOW-E DUAL PROTECT - reduced thermal protection - thermal protection (winter) - thermal protection (winter) - favors the emergence condensation - economy for heating - solar protection (summer) - high cost for heating - increases the greenhouse effect - economy for heating - high cost for electricity bills (in the summer) - economy for electricity bills (air conditioning) - thermal discomfort (in the summer) when using air conditioning systems

Aplast puts forward a revolutionary product which has the ability of severely reducing the expenses: The new Dual Protect Extreme glass offers the highest level of heat insulation amongst all windows. Dual Protect glass. Due to its remarkable qualities, it can almost cancel the greenhouse effect which appears during Up to now, the main utility of the windows was to protect against the cold weather and to reduce the summer inside the buildings leading to more efficient climate maintenance in any season. Moreover expenses during winter time. the energy use is reduced and the optimal comfort is maintained. Along with the usage of Dual Protect glass, the window became a mean of reducing the expenses during summer time. Compared to the other types of glass, Dual Protect Extreme glass offers an impressive solar protection, twice better than the Low-E glass and 50% above the one offered by Dual Protect glass Dual Protect ensures: - Thermal insulation during winter and reduces the heating expenses; - Heat insulation during summer and reduces the ventilation expenses, air conditioning being less used. With this type of glass the elimination of greenhouse effect takes place without diminishing the natural light. You do not need to use shading systems to remove heat from the building. You can now enjoy natural light during summer and meanwhile, avoid overheating of the rooms exposed to solar rays by using windows with Dual Protect glass. Dual Protect is a solar control glass. This type of glass is superior to Low-E glass and meets the current needs of the customers affected by global heating. 36 37

  • 21. MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS 2. Preparing the joinery for installation. If the window is mobile, the casement will be disassembled. If the window is fixed, the glazing beads will be disassembled. 3. Fixing the sash into the wall. The joinery must be fixed in the rough opening using spacers all around it and measuring it with the level to make sure it is perfectly straight. When the joinery is set in the separators it has to be fixed on the mounting screws. If the mounting holes are already made in the factory, one must drill the holes in the wall. The last stage is fixing the screws or mounting anchors. One must fix the mounting screws in the following order: 1 1. Sash - top; - sides (down screws); 2. Casement - remaining screws. 3. Solbanc The mounting screws must be chosen according to the type of the walls. They should penetrate the wall at least 50 mm in 2 4. Interior sill concrete, 100 mm in the bricks and 150 mm in BCA. 4. Exterior sill 4. Filling the space between the wall and joinery. 5. Polystyrene The space between the wall and joinery must be insulated against air and humidity. This space is to be filled with polyurethane foam. The foam is designed to thermo insulate, by this it allows joinery to dilate without affecting the frame or the glass. 5 5. Glass assembly (or panel assembly). 3 Fixed windows: 4 - Apply two or three holds to the bottom of the window. The distance between the frame and the hold should be about 80 mm. - Apply the spacers, usually measuring 5 mm. - The glass is fixed so that the aluminium spacer to be symmetrical left-right, top-bottom. Windows with opening: 7 7 The casement is mounted on the frame, protection profiles are used in order to protect the window during transportation. 6 The holds are applied in the following order: - Two on the bottom of the window; - One on the upper side, next to the handle; - One on the bottom side, next to the inferior hinge. Another two holds are applied on the top of the casement in order to fix the window. Mounting steps 6. Mounting the glazing beads . 1. Establishing the place where the joinery will be mounted in the rough opening. Regardless of the type of window, the glazing beads are fixed after assembling the glass, first the small parts and then the It is recommended to mount the joinery in the middle of the rough opening and not in the interior or exterior of it because large ones. problems might arise and the window's integrity might be affected. 41
