Gealan 9000: a new level of quality

Gealan 9000 is a PVC profile system designed for high demands in thermal and acoustic insulation, durability and security. This article explains its main features, benefits for the Latvian climate, glazing and hardware options, and practical buying and maintenance tips.

What is Gealan 9000

• 90 mm profile depth with a multi-chamber design (commonly 6–7 chambers).
• Improved thermal performance due to increased depth and dedicated insulation chambers.
• Compatibility with glazing up to 52 mm or more.
• Options for anti-burglary hardware and internal reinforcement.

Benefits in Northern / Baltic climates

• Thermal efficiency: reduced heat loss and better indoor comfort during cold months.
• Heating savings: lower energy bills thanks to improved insulation.
• Noise reduction: multi-chamber profile and tight seals reduce street noise.

Thermal and acoustic insulation

• The 90 mm profile combined with high-quality double or triple glazing provides a low U-value.
• Robust seals of rubber or TPE ensure reliable perimeter tightness.
• For urban homes, consider glazing with acoustic layers and gas filling.

Design and finishes

• Wide range of laminations: woodgrain, solid colors and textured finishes.
• Decorative trims and covers available for both internal and external sides.
• Custom shapes possible: bay windows, large glazed facades, mixed systems.

Security and hardware

• Support for anti-burglary fittings with multiple locking points and micro-adjustments.
• Option to install concealed hinges and reinforced locking mechanisms.
• Recommendation: choose reputable European hardware brands for durability and after-sales service.

Glazing and energy performance

• Single, double and triple glazing options with argon or krypton gas fills.
• Low‑E coatings to reduce infrared heat loss.
• Warm edge spacer systems to minimize thermal bridging at the glass edge.

Sustainability and lifespan

• Gealan profiles are produced according to European standards and often recyclable.
• Long service life when properly maintained: resistant to moisture and corrosion.

Installation and maintenance

• Professional installation is essential to preserve declared thermal and acoustic properties.
• Properly prepared, level openings and correct sealing of the installation joint are vital.
• Routine maintenance: clean seals and hardware, check for condensation and correct operation annually.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
