What Role Does Installation Play in PVC Window Frames?
50% of Their Performance Depends on It

When we talk about PVC window frames, most people immediately think of the material, the profile, or thermal insulation. And they’re not wrong. But there’s a “silent hero” that determines whether all this advanced technology actually works: installation.
Proper installation accounts for 50% of the overall performance—and is perhaps the most overlooked factor.

1. Why Installation Is Critical

You might have the best window frames in the world, but:

• If the frame isn’t level, thermal bridges form.
• If the gaskets aren’t sealed correctly, you’ll lose heat and sound insulation.
• If the foam insulation is applied carelessly, moisture will find its way in.

The result? Reduced functionality and wasted energy.

2. PVC Requires Precision

PVC frames offer excellent thermal performance—but only if installed properly:

• They need to be perfectly sealed.
• Every millimeter matters.
• V-PERFECT welding technology is cutting-edge—but it won’t perform if applied carelessly.

Technology needs skilled hands to bring it to life.

3. How to Spot a True Professional

A skilled installer:

• Checks the level two or even three times.
• Uses quality foam and doesn’t cut corners on materials.
• Delivers window frames that open and close like butter.

Tip: Ask to see samples of their work. If you’re not impressed, move on to the next.

4. The Cost of Poor Installation

• Up to 40% higher heat loss.
• Noise that “pierces” your walls.
• Loss of warranty—many manufacturers cover the product, but not the installer’s work.

Get it wrong once, and you’ll pay for it for years.
