🪟 1. PVC or ALU joinery – which one should you choose?

When choosing joinery, the most common question is: PVC or aluminum?

🔹 PVC joinery is an excellent choice for residential buildings as it offers outstanding thermal and sound insulation, is more affordable, and easy to maintain.

🔹 Aluminum joinery is recommended for larger openings, modern structures, and commercial spaces due to its strength, weather resistance, and long service life.

Our advice:

If you’re building a family house, PVC is an excellent choice. For modern buildings with large glass surfaces – ALU offers more possibilities.

At Adex Mont, we also manufacture combined ALU-PVC systems – the best of both worlds!

🧊 2. Which type of glass should you choose? – Double glazing, triple glazing, LOW-E…

Glass is just as important as the profile!

Double glazing (Insulated glass): a standard option with good insulation

Triple glazing: better thermal insulation and energy savings

LOW-E glass: special energy-efficient glass with a coating that reflects heat

Our advice:

For new builds and low-energy homes, we recommend triple glazing with LOW-E glass. It saves on heating and cooling in the long run.

🏠 3. When is it worth installing glass walls?

Glass walls open up the space and bring in natural light. They are worth installing if you want to:

  • Visually connect the interior and exterior (e.g., living room and garden)

  • Achieve a modern, luxurious look

  • Fill the space with light without sacrificing insulation

Our advice:

An ideal solution for homes with a terrace, holiday houses, restaurants, or modern commercial spaces.

🌞 4. Roller shutters or venetian blinds – which one should you choose?

Both are used to control light and privacy, but they offer different advantages:

Roller shutters: better insulation, full blackout capability, increased protection

Venetian blinds: precise light adjustment, more modern appearance, easy maintenance

Our advice:

For spaces where thermal and sound insulation is important – roller shutters. For living rooms and offices – venetian blinds.

🧼 5. How to maintain joinery so it lasts for years?

Regular and proper maintenance extends the lifespan of your joinery:

✔️ Clean the profiles with mild cleaners, avoiding harsh chemicals
✔️ Check seals and hardware once a year
✔️ Lubricate mechanisms (handles, fittings, guides)
✔️ Remove leaves and dirt from shutter boxes

Our advice:

If you notice something isn’t working properly – contact us. We also offer joinery maintenance and repair services.

🚫 6. Most common mistakes when ordering joinery:

❌ No professional measurements
❌ Choosing the cheapest option without considering quality
❌ Forgetting to prepare for shutters or insect screens
❌ Lack of information about glass and profile types

Our advice:

Always consult a professional to avoid additional costs from later modifications. At Adex Mont, we offer free consultations and measurements.

🧰 7. Why is professional installation just as important as a quality product?

Even the best joinery can lose its value if not installed properly:

  • Poor installation can lead to air and moisture leakage
  • Thermal insulation is compromised
  • Condensation and hardware issues may occur

Our advice:

Choose companies that also offer installation – like Adex Mont. This gives you the assurance that everything works perfectly – from production to installation.
