Rehau windows in Astana: how to choose the ideal glazing for the capital's climate

Construction in a sharply continental climate requires materials resistant to deformation. In Astana, plastic is subjected to loads from frost to –40 °C and squally winds. To avoid freezing of frames and blowing of seals, engineers use reinforced reinforcement and multi-chamber systems. A proven solution for protecting a home from extreme temperatures is Rehau windows.

Evolution of window technologies in the capital

Modern PVC systems have replaced wooden frames and thin-walled profiles. Today, property owners choose structures based on heat transfer resistance coefficient and durability. Certified Rehau windows have become the standard for residential complexes in Astana, as they withstand wind pressure on upper floors without frame distortion.

The production uses RAU-PVC polymer. It does not yellow under direct UV light and maintains surface smoothness. Due to the low porosity of the material, original Rehau windows do not absorb street dust. To clean the profile, simply wipe it with a soapy solution without using aggressive chemicals.

Technical features and profile selection

When glazing high-rise buildings, we install steel reinforcement with a thickness from 1.5 to 2 mm. For a standard apartment in a residential area, a Rehau window with a system depth of 70 mm is suitable. Five air chambers inside the profile create a thermal barrier comparable in efficiency to a two-brick masonry wall.

Expert advice from Arman Saparov, chief technologist: “The end of an original product always has a laser engraving with the batch serial number. If there is no marking, it is a fake. Genuine Rehau windows undergo aging chamber tests and maintain airtightness for 60 conditional years. Check the conformity certificates from the surveyor before signing the contract.”

In noisy areas of the city, installing systems with three sealing contours is relevant. By choosing such a Rehau window, you reduce the external noise level by 40–45 dB. This allows for comfortable sleep even in houses located near busy highways and avenues of the capital.

Professional installation and operation

Installation according to GOST includes using PSUL tapes to protect the foam from the sun. We fasten the frames to anchor plates with a step of 60 cm, which prevents sash sagging. Factory Rehau windows are compatible with anti-burglary hardware that protects ground-floor homes from unauthorized entry.

Every window assembled on an automatic line undergoes geometry and clamping density checks. We use EPDM seals that do not harden at –30°C. This guarantees no drafts in winter and maintains coolness from the air conditioner in summer heat.

Characteristics of Rehau systems

Offers for Astana's climate

The glazing market requires adaptation to local wind loads. Official Rehay windows are supplied with reinforced connectors that prevent frame 'wandering'. This is important for panoramic glazing of loggias on the left bank, where wind speed reaches 25–28 m/s.

We design structures taking into account the apartment's location. Properly selected windows allow saving up to 25% on heating bills monthly. Multifunctional glazing units reflect heat from radiators back into the room and solar heat back outside.

How to order glazing without overpayments?

Saving on hardware leads to rapid wear of mechanisms. If you decide to buy Rehay windows, choose a configuration with micro-ventilation and an erroneous action blocker. This will protect the sash from falling out when the handle is turned incorrectly and will provide fresh air without cooling the room.

For integration into a modern interior, the profile can be laminated in anthracite or dark oak color. High-quality Rehay plastic windows with colored coating do not fade in the sun. The film is applied at the factory using a thermal method, which eliminates its delamination throughout the entire service life.

Expert advice from Arman Saparov: “Once a year, clean the drainage holes in the lower part of the frame and lubricate the fittings with silicone. This will prevent the handle from jamming and ensure smooth sash movement. Dirt and dust act as an abrasive, so cleanliness of the mechanisms is the key to window longevity.”

Choosing Rehau technologies is a technically sound solution for protecting housing from dust, noise, and cold. The investment in a quality profile pays off in 4–5 seasons through energy savings.

Which technical characteristic of the profile is most important to you: the width of the system depth or the number of chambers inside the frame?
