Thyssen window profile is a favorite. Thyssen is the favourite. Favorit windows - a new standard of comfort

Thyssen profile produced by the company Deceuninck. Deceuninck is an international group of companies specializing in compounding, design, development, extrusion, finishing of PVC systems and profiles and products from recycled materials. The company operates in 32 countries, has 18 subsidiaries (production and/or representative offices), and has 2,700 employees, 560 of whom work at the main plant. The company Thyssen Polymer(a subsidiary of Deceuninck) three factories: one, the main one, is located in Bogen (Southern Germany), and the other two are in the USA. The four most important markets of the company are Germany, North America, Central, Eastern and Southern Europe. At present, the company occupies fifth place in Europe and in the USA for the production of PVC profiles.

Thyssen profile Favorite. Thyssen Favorit profile design

The pride of the Dekeninck-Thiessen Polymer company was the Favorit profile system developed specifically for the Russian market, which allowed the company to expand its active activities in Russia, satisfying the needs of the discerning Russian buyer.


Plastic windows Thyssen Favorite- this is a comprehensive system, originally conceived and developed specifically for Russia with its harsh climatic conditions, is a joint product of German and Russian specialists.







  1. Five air chambers for high thermal protection (class 1 according to GOST 30673).

  2. Width 71 mm for optimal temperature distribution in the profiles.

  3. Installation of double-glazed windows up to 47 mm wide is possible.

  4. Glazing beads with two support legs guarantee reliable glazing.

  5. Two planes of sealing gaskets protect against blowing.

  6. Reliable steel liners, identical in frame and sash, ensure the absorption of severe wind loads.

  7. Auxiliary profiles snap into mounting clips.

  8. The hinges are installed through plastic and steel.

  9. Water drainage and ventilation of double-glazed window folds go through the outer chamber.

  10. The axial dimension of the fittings is 13 mm, which increases the protection against burglary.

  11. The 45° inclination serves for good drain water and elegant design.

Why do plastic windows made from Thyssen Favorit profile provide a high level of comfort?


  • The room is warm in winter and cool in summer.

  • Thermal comfort not only indoors, but also near the window.

  • The height of the rebate, increased to 9 mm, prevents the penetration of dust and noise into the room.

  • Easy to clean due to no condensation.

  • The geometry of the profile makes it easy to remove dust from the groove under the glazing bead.

  • Possibility of installing a Regel-Air climate valve to improve the microclimate.

  • The plastic connector of the impost prevents freezing at the connection point, unlike metal connectors, and the strength of such a connection is higher than a standard metal one.

How do PVC windows made from the Thyssen Favorit profile differ from their analogues?

1. Increased thermal protection due to a width of 71 mm and 5 air chambers with a width of at least 5 mm.

The high heat transfer resistance of the profile system increases the reduced heat transfer resistance of windows as a whole. According to calculated data, for the FAVORIT system with identical double-glazed windows and with a ratio of glazing area to product area of ​​0.7, this important indicator increases by 0.03 m2C/W.

2. Reduced “edge effect” in double-glazed windows, thanks to the width of the profiles of 71 mm and the pinch height of the double-glazed window of 20 mm.

The analysis of the distribution of isotherms in the system profiles showed a significant reduction in the “edge effect” of the glass unit, that is, the formation of condensation along its perimeter.


3. It is possible to install double-glazed windows up to 47 mm wide in windows.

Although we are proponents of using selectively coated glass in double glazed units, economic situation in many regions it is still such that the use of double-glazed windows is more justified. When the width of the air gap of a glass unit increases by 2 mm in the range from 10 to 15-16 mm, its heat transfer resistance increases on average by 0.02 m2C/W. Accepted as a standard double-glazed window for the FAVORIT system best option total thickness 36 mm.


4. The system includes elite doors made of five-chamber profiles with a width of 71 mm, and the possibility of using thresholds with thermal inserts.


Thus, the resistance to heat transfer entrance doors of the “FAVORIT” profiles will be at least no lower, and when using large-area sandwich panels, higher than that of windows, which will fully comply with the requirements of the standards.


5. The compound (raw material mixture) is prepared for the use of profiles in the harsh Russian climate.


The plastic of windows must withstand the most severe frosts, therefore its composition includes Special attention modifier for impact strength. The climate impact perception profile refers to "frost-resistant version";

· Vicat softening point is +89 C;

· Charpy impact strength 44 kJ/m2;

· strength corner connections exceeds standard requirements by two to three times!;

· confirmed durability 50 conditional years of operation(for temperate climates) and 20 for northern regions.


6. High static reliability and dimensional stability of the system due to the increased moments of inertia of steel reinforcements and the strength of the PVC profile itself.

The moment of inertia of the impost is twice as high as that of other profile systems.


7. Height of the ledges: outside 8mm, inside 9mm.

This height of the rebates guarantees a reliable fit of the sashes to the frame and ample opportunities adjustment of fittings. Together with a specially shaped elastic seal, this provides high sound insulation and window density. At the same time, if necessary, a Regel-Air climate control valve can be installed in the windows.


8. In the window designs of the FAVORIT system, welded seals made of gray thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) are used.

The gray color of the seals gives the windows a new, elegant design. The stretched seals are welded together with the profiles, which speeds up and simplifies the manufacture of windows.

9. The axial installation size of the fittings is 13 mm, which increases the anti-burglary qualities of FAVORIT windows.


10. The profiles have an elegant design with a 45° slope and flawless surfaces.

Along with all the above technical features, the company made sure that the price of the FAVORIT profile system was competitive in comparison with the dominant three-chamber systems with a width of 60 m today.

Technical characteristics optimized for Russia, together with accessibility to the mass consumer, make the FAVORIT system a unique offer for Russian market.

The presence of an excellent technical concept and a balanced pricing policy are prerequisites for the widespread use of windows made of PVC profiles “FAVORIT” in municipal and private construction in Russia.

Plastic windows THYSSEN Favorit is a new concept of PVC system from Deceuninck. THYSSEN Favorite gives answers to any questions without requiring any evidence. This is the result of painstaking work, where attention is paid to the smallest details. Today THYSSEN Favorite is an excellent combination of technology and quality, which certainly leaves other profile systems far behind.

It is a worthy successor to the Mondial series from Deceuninck. But at the same time, Zendow is not just a new profile system, it is based on a well-thought-out strategy and concept that has acquired the label “Total Innovation” in the traditional window systems sector. The Zendow concept is much more than just a window system. Namely, proof of the leading role of the organization in Deceuninck. THYSSEN Favorite is more than a huge technical breakthrough. This system reflects Deceuninck's vision and strategy as a supplier of complete systems offering an absolute product of the highest quality.

Using basic components to create different sections of the THYSSEN Favorite profile

In addition to radical optimization and rationalization of parts, other additional functions have been added to the system. The most noticeable is undoubtedly the lip located in the middle of the drainage space. At first glance, this is an inconspicuous detail, but it is precisely a typical confirmation of how a small detail can become one of the main parts of the entire concept. It not only divides the drainage space into dry and wet zones, but is also double-sided for regular windows, opening outwards. At the same time, it serves as the basis for other functions. For example, it provides the opportunity to stretch the central seal. In light of the increasing demand for thermal insulation characteristics, this is an excellent argument in the growing struggle among famous PVC suppliers systems when creating a system with the largest number cameras

THYSSEN Design Choice Favorite

Typically, a simple approach turns out to be the best solution. The THYSSEN design is a clear confirmation of this. The unique shape of the profiles claims individuality, complementing existing architectural styles. In essence, THYSSEN Favorite is an example of modern architecture, while at the same time maintaining warm, natural lines that caress the eye. Moreover, research has shown that a radius of 8 + 5° is the most preferable. People who evaluated the profile from different points of view: manufacturers (from the point of view of the production process), designers (from the point of view of moderate design), marketers (from the point of view of competition) and, finally, consumers (for whom the main thing is modern look and ease of care) were most fascinated by the subtlety of the lines.
