NOT ALL WINDOWS ARE THE SAME.
Depending on location, orientation, climatic conditions and the building’s characteristics—from the top floor down to the south-facing façade—each project requires an optimal window type. Thermal insulation performance, soundproofing level, wind resistance or aesthetic design can vary significantly. At Silcar, we help you navigate the myriad of options and choose the perfect solution for your needs: whether PVC windows with a low U-value, aluminium profiles for large façades or high-performance PVC/AL hybrid systems.
It’s easy to get lost among the specifications—that’s why we provide technical consulting from first contact through installation, ensuring the final result exceeds your expectations.
