The best plastic windows of 2024-2025: PVC profile quality rating

The plastic window market is one of the most competitive in Russia, amounting to 31.6 million square meters by the end of 2023. The big advantage of plastic windows is that most of their components are produced in Russia, so they are not afraid of sanctions. The most important part of a plastic window is the window profile. It forms the window frame into which the double-glazed window is inserted. Here are the top 10 best companies manufacturing PVC profiles for plastic windows in Russia in 2024-2025.

10. "Samara Window Constructions" (SOC)

"Samara Window Constructions" (SOC)

The company is located in Samara and holds a large market share in the Volga region and the Urals. It produces windows itself, using profiles from leading global companies (Rehau, BRUSBOX, ALUTECH, etc.). Users are pleased, especially with how Samara windows withstand the harsh Russian climate. Professionals especially praise the quality of the sealant, which does not dry out in the heat and does not harden in the cold, as well as the quality of the seams.

9. Brusbox

Brusbox

From the very beginning of its existence, the Bryansk company has taken a course on import substitution. It bought production lines from KraussMaffei (there are currently 28 of them), established supply channels for imported raw materials and began to produce high-quality profiles for plastic windows that meet the strictest European standards. Evil tongues say that Brusbox copies Rehau, especially their famous Basic line, to which we will say: good things should not be hidden, but spread! Moreover, the Bryansk PVC profile with almost the same quality costs 15% cheaper. Brusbox also has premium lines, as well as windows with increased light transmittance. Brusbox windows are distinguished by impact resistance, strong joints, do not bend, do not break and are resistant to Russian winters.

8. Proplex

Proplex

One of the first window swallows on the Russian market of plastic window profiles began its existence under the supervision of Austrian window craftsmen. More than 20 years have passed since then, Proplex has blossomed, grown into ears and currently supplies about seven different window options, each of which is designed for different climatic conditions of our very diverse country in this regard. Proplex windows are universal and fit any fittings (and it is not surprising, given that almost all fittings on the Russian window market are imported). The quality corresponds to European - as Proplex technologists claim, during the production process, products are checked at least 20 times from start to finish.

7. Panorama

Panorama the best plastic windows of Russian production

The St. Petersburg company is the only long-liver of the Northern capital from windows, has survived 27 years of harsh Russian business. During this time, Panorama has glazed more than 280 thousand windows and several times took first and second places in the ratings for the quality of windows. Despite the third of a century that has passed since the collapse of the USSR, Panorama still carries in its blood the legacy of the Soviet level of service - the quality of installation and maintenance can differ greatly from the declared.

6. Montblanc

Montblanc

Currently, the company owns one of the largest window profile manufacturing plants in Russia. The Moscow region plant is equipped with the latest equipment for a full technological cycle. In total, the company's products include several dozen profiles - both basic and additional. Montblanc has its own scientific and technical base, there are several patents - for example, a special frame structure, thanks to which the temperature is distributed evenly over the inner surface. The windows have a good design - smooth, elegant curves; with such, even the economy class looks presentable.

5. KBE

KBE good pvc profile

These are some of the best quality plastic windows in Russia. The key feature is maximum quality per unit of money spent. Despite the moderate price of the product, KBE does not spare money on innovation - at the moment, the Germans have 35 patents for window profiles, some of which have spread far across the window market. In Russia, KBE factories are located in Voskresensk and Khabarovsk, and representative offices are open throughout the country. The windows of this company have a good reputation, judging by the reviews, if problems arise, then only when the installation technology is not followed. Quality control is very strict and, as the manufacturer claims, the Russian profile is completely identical to the one produced at the company's plant near Berlin.

4. Kaleva

Kaleva

The only company in the rating of the best plastic windows of 2023 that works in a full cycle - it manufactures, supplies, and installs windows itself. On the one hand, this is good - logistics and resale costs are reduced, which leads to cheaper windows for the average consumer. On the other hand, not all Kalewa enterprises are able to maintain the quality level set by the main enterprise. The company's engineers create their own developments, for example, an original design that not only informs its owners about the weather outside the window, but also advises them to take an umbrella with them if rain is expected. There is also the option of installing Privateglass, which can become frosted on command (it can be controlled using a remote control, like a TV), protecting those inside from the views of strangers.

3. Exprof

Exprof

The top 3 best manufacturers of plastic windows in Russia are opened by a company that works with imported raw materials (German and Italian), but does not shy away from its own developments. The engineers of "Exprofa" have come up with their own mixture, thanks to which windows can withstand severe cold, and also not turn yellow under the streams of UV radiation in the summer. At the moment, the company is among the top five largest Russian manufacturers of plastic windows, and the product range includes more than 74 items. It works mainly in Irkutsk, Omsk, Novosibirsk, so the company's engineers are familiar with severe weather conditions firsthand.

2. Deceuninck

Deceuninck

A rare swallow against the background of German companies that have flooded the Russian window market, Deceuninck is a Belgian company. One of its main features is frost resistance. PVC profiles of this company can withstand severe frosts, down to -60 °, which makes them indispensable for the harsh north-eastern regions of the country. Deceuninck profiles are often installed in hospitals and kindergartens, as they are completely safe and environmentally friendly. These windows are distinguished by excellent sound insulation, convenient handles for opening and reliable fixation of vents and windows in any position. True, there is a minus - the company is very keen on packaging, so after installation there is a lot of garbage.

1. Veka

Veka – the best PVC profile for plastic windows

The best company for the production of plastic windows in Russia is a branch of the international company VEKA AG. For more than 20 years, Veka has been installing windows throughout our country. According to unofficial data, German companies hold more than half of the market, and Veka is one of the leaders among them. Of course, all Veka window profiles comply with European standards for both ecology and heat and noise insulation, and have also received the German RAL quality mark. Particularly worth noting is the quality of the seals - thanks to their special composition, they do not crack in the heat and do not freeze in the cold. Veka's burglar-proof windows are especially good - there are no analogues on the Russian market. The profile is called Veka Softline; in addition to the usual energy-saving material and design, window engineers added several features, including reliable anti-vandal fittings and impact-resistant glass. It can withstand a medium-power impact - for example, if someone threw a stone at a first-floor window. If desired, the level of protection can be increased by installing four glasses.

The company that left the Russian plastic window market is Rehau

hx5metrxThis is one of the leaders in window profile sales not only in Russia, but also worldwide. In our country, Rehau accounted for, according to various estimates, about 19% of the plastic window market. As they say, it is impossible to get a defective window from Rehau - the company's quality control works so well. In March 2023, the company decided to suspend operations in Russia and Belarus. Rehau does not voice the reasons, limiting itself to a short "We hope that the situation will change soon, and we will be able to resume operations."

Prospects for the window market in Russia given the sanctions

In Russia, not only the windows themselves are produced, but also the components for them. Import substitution of the profile is 98%, glass is 99%, there are basically no problems with slopes, reinforcement, mounting tapes and seals either. What will be a problem is with chalk (this is a special highly purified chalk for profile production, only 60% of it is mined in Russia) and sealants (although they are mixed in Russia, consumables are brought from abroad). And the most difficult thing is with fittings and steel for it. At the moment, only 20% of the total volume of fittings is produced in our country, and this production is built on imported components. On March 1, a full-cycle plant UNION was launched, so far the only one in Russia, but it will take time to ramp up capacity and set up the sales chain.
