REHAU WINDOWS
IN KHARKIV

REHAU PVC windows in Kharkiv: ARTEVO, SYNEGO, SYNEGO HST and SLINOVA X. System selection, glazing, hardware, finishes and warm installation.

BIFORIUM architectural glazing — reference project for Kharkiv and the Kharkiv region

CONTEXT

For REHAU in Kharkiv, we start with size, colour and the way each sash will operate.

REHAU often makes sense in Kharkiv homes where a warm envelope and straightforward window operation are priorities. An oversized PVC sash is still a mechanical assembly, however, and needs checks for reinforcement, glass weight, colour and hardware.

REHAU covers a wide range of applications, from energy-efficient tilt-and-turn windows to large HST and minimal sliding units. Published peak values from different configurations should not be mixed: the system is selected for the actual size, glazing, opening type and installation junction.

Dark profiles on sunny elevations require additional attention to thermal movement. HST elements need a stiff lower support and a threshold detail that is protected from both water and cold bridging.

ENGINEERING

Resolve it before fabrication.

For PVC assemblies we review reinforcement or composite frame geometry, vent weight, glazing thickness, thermal movement, profile finish and fixing strategy. Large HST units also require a rigid thermally efficient support and a waterproof lower junction.

PVC profiles respond noticeably to temperature, especially in dark finishes and large formats. Reinforcement, clearances, fixing and glass weight therefore need to be coordinated before fabrication.

SYSTEM SELECTION

Systems we compare.

ARTEVO and SYNEGO usually cover window openings, HST addresses large terrace access, and SLINOVA X serves a different sliding scenario. We do not force the whole house into one system name.

WHAT WE CHECK

01

Thermal performance

02

Glazing thickness

03

Vent stiffness

04

Solar control

05

Finish and heat gain

06

Warm installation

INPUT DATA

What we need for an initial review.

For the first pass, the largest elements, profile colour and a rough glass build-up are the most useful inputs. They show whether a standard configuration will be sufficient for the rest.

01

Opening drawings

A size schedule with opening types, clearly marking balcony doors, oversized sashes and any HST elements.

02

Architectural context

Profile colour or finish, insulation depth, internal reveals and every location where the frame approaches the finished floor.

03

Glazing requirements

Intended IGU build-up, sun-exposed elevations and door zones where toughened or laminated glass is required.

04

Installation conditions

Opening substrate, support beneath the frame, position within the insulation and available space for internal/external sealing.

START A PROJECT

Have drawings or a specification?

Send the schedule and highlight the largest elements. We will check those first and then build a coherent REHAU specification for the remaining openings.
