Influence of the Corner Joints of the Window Frame and Sash on the Final Quality of the Window

Abstract

The quality of a product is a characteristic that demonstrates how well it meets the needs for which it is intended. Given that, a window purpose is to provide light and desired ventilation to a room, while at the same time protecting the building from external influences such as air permeability, water permeability and wind resistance, we prove that it is of high quality the more it provides us with these conditions. A window as a product is a complex composition of different materials and parts. The different parts of a window include the basic structural elements, filling elements, fitting, and additional accessories. The basic structural elements of a window are the supporting frame and the window sash. The corner joints of these elements will be the target of research, in terms of how the strength of the joint of the corner segments of windows made of wooden frame, PVC frame or aluminium frame can affect the window's resistance to air permeability, water permeability and wind resistance.
