What is window treatment?
Window treatment is a key process that aims to prepare the window for installation, ensuring its proper functionality, aesthetics and durability. During this phase of production, various activities are carried out that affect the quality and appearance of the finished window. Window treatment includes a number of activities that are necessary to achieve a high quality product ready for installation.
Types of window treatments
Depending on the type of window, the material it is made from and the customer's requirements, window treatment can involve different stages. For PVC windows, machining may involve cutting profiles, drilling holes for fittings, and edge sanding. For timber windows, the treatment process may involve more advanced techniques such as milling, sanding and painting the timber, which gives the window the desired texture and appearance.
Cutting and fitting of profiles
One of the most important stages of window processing is the cutting and fitting of the profiles to the specified dimensions. Thanks to precise cutting, the windows are perfectly adapted to the space in which they are to be installed. Accuracy is essential, as any error at this stage can affect the quality of the installation.
Drilling holes for fittings
The next processing step is to drill holes for fittings such as hinges, handles or tilt mechanisms. Depending on the design of the window, it may be necessary to drill a number of precise holes to enable the window to function properly afterwards.
Sanding and smoothing edges
To make the window look aesthetically pleasing and safe to use, it is also necessary to sand and smooth the edges of the profiles. These are removed from the sharp edges, which not only improves the appearance, but also prevents damage or abrasion during the installation and operation of the window.
Varnishing and painting (in the case of wooden windows)
In the case of wooden windows, the treatment also includes varnishing or painting the wood, which not only improves the aesthetics, but also protects the material from weathering. Thanks to suitable varnish coatings, wooden windows gain additional resistance to moisture, UV radiation or fluctuating temperatures.
Why is window treatment important?
The treatment of windows is crucial to their subsequent functionality and durability. Thanks to precise and careful work at every stage of production, windows become more resistant to damage, have better thermal and acoustic insulation, and look aesthetically pleasing. A well-conducted treatment affects the comfort of use and extends the life of the windows.
Window treatment is a process that requires the right equipment, experience and precision. Only properly performed treatment guarantees that windows will be functional, safe and aesthetically pleasing for many years of use.
