Wital Prestige: new window standards

Wital Prestige is a PVC window line designed for modern homes and apartments in Northern Europe. The series combines thermal efficiency, sound insulation, reliable hardware and contemporary appearance. This article examines the construction details, benefits in a Latvian climate, and practical advice for selection, installation and maintenance.

Profile and build

• Multi-chamber PVC profile (4–6 chambers) with reinforced steel provides structural strength and longevity.
• Profile widths of 70–90 mm allow thicker insulating glass units and improved thermal performance.
• High-quality sealing with double or triple gaskets reduces drafts and improves airtightness.

Glazing and energy performance

• Wital Prestige offers single- and double-chamber insulating glass units (IGUs) with Low-E coatings to reflect heat back into the room.
• Argon or krypton filling reduces heat transfer and improves the window U-value.
• Warm edge spacers and modern sealing prevent cold bridging and condensation.

Hardware and ease of use

• Durable fittings with tilt-and-turn functions, micro-ventilation and child locks.
• Handles with security options, concealed hinges, and smooth opening even on large sashes.
• Possibility to add limiters and soft-closing mechanisms for convenience.

Acoustic comfort

• The combination of multi-chamber profiles and well-selected IGUs delivers up to 40 dB of sound reduction — important in urban locations.
• Laminated glass options provide additional security and noise dampening.

Design and finishes

• Wide range of foils and finishes: classic white, woodgrain (oak, mahogany), and matte colours.
• Slim sightlines, optional hidden muntins, and modern minimalist profiles for contemporary facades.
• Sill and trim solutions available as part of turnkey installation packages.

Installation and aftercare

• Proper installation is crucial: correct vapor and waterproofing, anchoring, foam sealing and expansion joint filling.
• Professional installation teams perform final hardware adjustment and alignment.
• Manufacturer warranty and after-sales service include adjustments, seal replacements and hardware repairs.

Certifications and sustainability

• Wital Prestige meets European standards for thermal and acoustic performance and holds quality certifications.
• Profiles are manufactured with quality controls and can be recycled at end of life.

Why it matters for Latvia

Latvia’s climate with cold winters and humid springs requires windows with high thermal insulation and airtight installation. Wital Prestige reduces heating demand, minimizes condensation and creates a comfortable indoor environment year-round.

How to choose the right Wital Prestige window

• Assess building orientation (north/south) and external noise level.
• For cold exposures choose 80–90 mm profile and double-chamber IGU with Low-E and gas fill.
• Discuss interior sills, exterior finishing and ventilation with your installer.

FAQ — common questions

How long do Wital Prestige windows last?

With correct installation and maintenance, expected service life is 30 years or more. Longevity depends on installation quality, usage intensity and environmental conditions.

Do I still need to ventilate with airtight windows?

Yes. Airtight windows reduce natural air exchange, so regular airing or mechanical ventilation is advised to control humidity and indoor air quality.

What affects installation cost?

• Number and size of windows
• Type of IGU and coatings (Low-E, laminated)
• Installation complexity (balcony openings, heights, insulation of reveals)
• Additional options (insect screens, blinds, sills)

How to prevent condensation?

Address humidity and ventilation first. Use Low-E glass, warm edge spacers and ensure correct installation of the frame and reveals to prevent cold bridges.

What maintenance is required?

Periodic cleaning of seals, annual lubrication of hardware, and gentle cleaning of glass with non-abrasive detergents. Avoid harsh solvents.

Can I install blinds or roller shades on Wital Prestige windows?

Yes. The profile and reveals support a variety of internal and external shading systems including roller blinds and Venetian blinds.

What if my window drafts around the frame?

Check hardware adjustment and the condition of seals. Service technicians can often resolve drafts by reglazing, re-sealing joints or replacing seals.

How long does installation take?

Standard installation of a single window typically takes 1–3 hours, depending on size and complexity. Finishing of reveals and sills is an additional stage.
