FAQs

PVC stands for polyvinyl chloride. It is a thermoplastic made from by-products of petroleum. The PVC used in window frames starts as a powder. The materials added to this powder will determine whether the material is stable enough for use in the Spanish climate. We use Deceuninck PVC profile exclusively. It will not expand significantly and will not change colour or deteriorate in any way for at least ten years. We guarantee it. A cheap to produce PVC cannot have a meaningful ten year guarantee in Spain

These days there is a lot of talk about protection of the environment, how does PVC feature in this?
PVC is made from prime natural materials and doesn´t need contaminating products for its maintenance. It reduces heating/cooling costs reducing contamination of the atmosphere and has a long service life at the end of which it can be recycled.

Yes, and windows and doors produced by Crystal conform to and even exceed these European C.E. certificates.

Yes. Crystal windows offer over 100 different colours and beautiful woodgrain finishes in aluminium and PVC. We can create custom colours too, to match anything you need.

There are many, from those giving extra security/safety to those for solar control, higher efficiency, noise reduction

If windows are measured correctly and cut and extracted using a specific technique, the new unit can be fitted cleanly and the room left spotless. This is where the care and experience of a specialist window installer are noticed most.

There are different grades of aluminium profile, some not suitable for the Spanish climate. Our aluminium profile is manufactured from raw bauxite, extruded at high temperature, then the colouring and coating applied before baking at a higher temperature and for a longer time than cheaper profiles. Crystal Windows aluminium profile is treated on the internal surface too, to prevent deterioration which in a cheaper profile will, in time, impair the external finish.

Crystal has teams who can remove walling, construct walling, tile plaster etc all tied together in the installation of the window. The client deals with one company from start to finish.

Crystal prides itself in this area and is able to produce specials from one off door designs, true Georgian bar frames to bespoke specialist conservatory roofs, there is literally nothing in the world of windows that we can not make and guarantee locally.

They are specialised and have to be measured and produced in a very special way and great skill is required in maintaining a truly parallel and flat unit that closes with a perfect seal, with good tight joints. Crystal Windows are the only replacement window company on the Costa Blanca who make their own curves, in-house, in PVC and aluminium. You get the best curve in the profile to match the curve in the aperture.

Yes, but we also have a tack fit service where windows are fitted solidly into an opening and adjusted etc ready to be plastered or fitted into pre marcos – purpose-made aluminium sub frames which allow building to be finished and window fitted after clean-up is finished.

From Castellon to La Mancha and inland

There are many options for increased security on all types of windows and doors including centre locks for sliders, multipoint locks, anti-burglary locking points etc which is best discussed on an individual basis, as to what the client requirements are.

• You never buy just a window from Crystal Windows. Most products in the course of ten years will need some form of adjustment or perhaps just wear and tear (on gaskets, handles etc). This is covered by our guarantee).
• Frequently we find we have to replace windows/doors bought in good faith from other companies that but for a little attention at the right time could have continued working for some time more. However, as a result of neglect, mechanisms or profiles are damaged that we cannot source. Therefore a reasonably good unit often has to be entirely replaced.
