Metalplastic windows are different in design, material, accessories. Also window profiles differ among themselves in the number of cameras. Single-chamber and bilocular systems are the most widespread.
Differences of single-chamber double-glazed windows from bilocular
First of all, the difference consists in amount of the glasses which are in window frame. At single-chamber double-glazed window there are two glasses separated among themselves by special remote frame in which there is special moisture absorption agent creating dry air. Thickness of glasses is equal to 4 mm, air gap – 16 mm that in the sum gives 24 mm. The designs different from this standard – 18 or 36 mm meet.

Both single-chamber, and triple-pane glasses are in demand. Their choice is defined by several factors:
- cost, including installation works;
- energy efficiency;
- protection against external noise;

The double-glazed window with one camera is cheaper, than bilocular option in view of the design. However this difference can smooth out in connection with quality of materials, thickness of glasses.
From minuses of single-chamber profiles It should be noted the fact that such designs miss more noise from the street. Besides, they to a lesser extent hold warmly indoors.
It is worth referring high noise-insulating properties to advantages of triple-pane glasses. Similar designs when the window comes to the highway are especially relevant. Quite often they are ordered for children's rooms.
Double-glazed windows in two cameras perfectly keep heat in the room. If in the house the individual heating is established, it is possible to reduce payment for the corresponding service significantly.
