Abstract
The window as a product used in construction aims to provide natural light and the possibility
for ventilation in the building where it is placed, but at the same time to protect the room from external
influences such as wind and rain and to prevent uncontrolled cooling or heating of the building it is
built-in. Given the purpose, a quality window is one that protects against air penetration, water
penetration and it ensures wind resistance. The window is a complex product that is composed of
different parts that can be made of different materials. As part of this research, windows made by
different manufacturers and made from different materials will be tested, but they are with profile
identical to the profile used for the frame and the window sash. The main goal is to prove whether the
construction of the window and the fittings used have an impact on the final quality of the window. In
order to do the research, ten windows will be tested in accordance with the European norms EN 1026:
2016 (test method for air permeability), EN 1027: 2016 (test method for water permeability), EN
12211: 2016 (test method for wind resistance).
