The best performance for any enclosure

Windows in a bad state influence not only on the aesthetic appearance of your home or establishment but that, apart from this aesthetic detail, the poor state of a window or door leads to a significant loss of energy that will impact both in economic terms (heating and air conditioning) and loss of energy andTherefore, of comfort.

The Windows are also the most sensitive points of a House. They escape the degrees of temperature to maintain the environment comfortable. These losses are one of the reasons why spent more energy than is actually needed (up to 47 per cent of energy consumption in Spanish households is intended for heating and cooling) as well as provide an important source of light at home and isolate him from outside noise.

Profiles of Kömmerling systems adapt perfectly to the aesthetic needs and isolation of any building offering the best performance in thermal, acoustic insulation, and air permeability, thus having the tranquility always comply with the CTE in all orientations of façade and in all climate zones, always ensuring the best value for money.

The advanced technology of the profiles, the tightness, the thickness of the glass and the distance between crystals, made possible that Windows Kömmerling reduce outside noise that is perceived within the rooms, to achieve a level of higher welfare. But in addition, corners of Windows made of Kömmerling profiles are welded and not glued, and Assembly of watertight joints of synthetic rubber is perfect. As a result, these Windows are the most tight market, avoiding the internal condensation. Unfavorable climatic agents do not pose any concern, that profiles ensures a perfect isolation for years and years. In addition, they prevent the condensation of water and support not only the corrosion, but also the saltpeter and attacks of mildew and bacteria, which can put an end to the life of other profiles or Windows.

The PVC is by nature a very hard material, which due to changes in the molecular formula, exclusive of Kömmerling is gives in its manufacture of a high impact resistance, guaranteed by numerous laboratory tests. Their ability to shock is evident particularly in the corners, where the profiles are soldiers thermally, without glue. The end result is a very homogeneous Union, which seems made of one piece, getting the best mechanical and aesthetic solution.

Kömmerling began manufacture in series of profiles for Windows in 1967, using a revolutionary and own PVC formula. PVC became a perfect material which improved resistance to impact, much more durable and that could easily adapt to any shape and decorative style. Thus, he was born in Pirmasens (Germany) a new concept of window that is now all a reality.

In this development play a vital role experts and qualified professionals and the heavy investment Kömmerling annually in r & d, all of this for the benefit of their products and customers. For this reason, Kömmerling is today one of the world leaders in the production of profiles for PVC Windows and has a business presence in over 30 countries with factories themselves, branches and delegations.

The acceptance that Kömmerling products are among the European architects is mainly due to its adaptability to any shape and architectural style, its thermal and acoustic insulation capacity and its excellent value for money. Because of this acceptance, Kömmerling is the first European manufacturer of PVC profiles for Windows systems.

Kömmerling celebrates this year 2007 its 25th anniversary in Spain, contributing greatly to the rapid development of the market of Windows from PVC in the Iberian Peninsula. Today, the firm has an extensive network of distributors in Spain and Portugal, and with a wide range of exclusive window manufacturers.

A success that Kömmerling aims to repeat in Latin America, where it is already present in the main markets and based on a dynamic and ambitious plan for future development.

The main objectives of the technical building code are the improving the quality of the building and promote innovation and economic, energy and environmental sustainability and Kömmerling already has 25 years providing profiles that comply with the quality and performance. In Kömmerling they take pride in meeting with the new technical building code (CTE) in any climatic zone and any guidance of facade, not now, but from 25 years ago, being one of the pioneers of carpentry of PVC in Spain systems.

To do so Kömmerling has a wide range of systems of woodwork. Eurodur 3S that presents constructive solutions for Windows and doors, can be adapted also to any shape and architectural style with a depth of 58 mm and 1.8 W/m²K transmittance stands out. With this value of isolation met with the new CTE throughout the national territory, being the value more restrictive limit of 3.1 W/m²K, is 40 percent below the limit that marks with the rules of energy saving. System Eurodur 3S has the Aenor product certificate mark, which widely supports its quality.

The system EuroFutur Elegance offers the highest levels of thermal insulation (U = 1.3 W/m²K) and acoustic due to its depth, 70 mm, attached to a more rounded aesthetics according to new trends. With the EuroFutur system, it is possible to create all types of enclosures, both white and other shades and finishes (plans, wood).

The Premidoor system consists of a lift sliding sheet of large size (up to 3.5 x 2.80 meters) of soft drive and a system of boards of sealing that they confer high impermeability. With 70 mm of depth also gets the best values of thermal insulation and is able to accommodate up to 39 mm of glass for its acoustic comfort and physical security.

The secret to making the best profiles is the careful selection of raw materials for the production of PVC, in the latest technology with the precision tools that are used. Only the highest quality is thus guaranteed to end-user.

During the extrusion process, the Department of Kömmerling control short samples of profiles at regular intervals, checking all its properties to meet the highest demands. On the test bench, finished Windows must withstand extreme conditions to ensure their values of impermeability to water and air, and its resistance to strong pressures of wind. Only the highest quality is thus guaranteed to end-user.

Kömmerling is part of associations concerned with the construction in Europe and of committees of regulation of the European Union for window profiles. On the other hand, has for its certified profiles of the countries where it is present. Spain has been the leading manufacturer of PVC profiles for Windows which has managed the Spanish mark of Aenor product certificate for your system Eurodur quality. It also has the Aenor certification of registered company.

In Kömmerling, the quality must respond at all times to the highest standards of the industry, by what controls they extend to the whole process of manufacture of the profiles. Raw material is controlled the grain size, the percentage of moisture, impurities, colabilidad, etc. Of the manufacturing process is subject to control the gelling temperature Vicat, elastic module, dimensions and tolerances, etc. On the finished profile, discusses resistance to impact, the resistance of corners, stability, etc., and is a resistance to weathering xenotest.

GreenLine is a concept developed by Kömmeling to preserve the natural resources of our planet, with three converging actions:

Saving energy, longer than a well thought-out carpentry, manufactured and installed is a determining factor to achieve energy efficiency savings.

The recycling of the cuts in production, even the old frames of PVC. Recycling reduces the energy required for the production of new material, and in turn is an effective way of controlling the discarded material.

The optimization of the raw components. The purest materials allow to ensure durability and aging of the enclosures without degradation or risk to man.

On the other hand, the composition of the Greenline profiles deleted altogether heavy, such as lead and cadmium elements, replacing them by others more organic, such as calcium and zinc. GreenLine commitment extends from the beginning of manufacture of the profiles to future recycling.

The GreenLine Windows are currently used in old and new buildings, renovations, write-downs and recoveries.

Benefits of PVC

Windows made of PVC profiles are more insulating than those made with materials like aluminium. This is due to a simple physical law: the lower is the thermal conductivity, greater is the isolation and, while aluminum has an extremely high conductivity coefficient, the PVC is very low. The low thermal conductivity of PVC profiles and the possibility of setting up different types of insulating glass, help keep inside the House a perfect climate, regardless of the cold and the heat that makes the outdoors.

The Windows offer a total imperviousness to water, wind and pollution. PVC Windows do not need to be painted as its surface supports almost no dirt dry, humid or aggressive. At the same time, in seconds and in a single pass, they are easily cleaned with a cloth, warm water and mild soap.

The PVC woodwork are fitted with reinforced steel galvanized in all its main profiles (frames, leaves, Poles). Leaves large (up to 2.56 square metres), this allows at the same time are able to maintain their benefits, even to the strongest winds, supporting speeds of over 100 kilometres per hour.

From the ecological point of view the PVC is one of the strongest materials. The raw material consists mainly of common salt and its recycling and reuse have reached a very high level.
