How did the PVC windows appear?

Plastic windows have come to Egypt recently, however they are becoming more common. Now such structures are placed not only in the apartments but also in the offices, institutions and private houses. The owners of PVC windows quickly forget about such issues as street noise, excessive heat or constant draft. The majority of consumers use windows, and don't think about the history of their creation. 

Intrigued by the details, many are surprised that PVC was invented in the 19th century. Firstly this wonderful material was invented by the American chemist. This high strength plastic at that time was not appreciated and the invention was temporarily forgotten. Production of plastic products began in the 20th century. 

First window frame made of PVC appeared in 1952 in Germany. There was started mass production of plastic windows. This country is still a world leader in the manufacture of window designs of PVC. 

In the 60-ies of the 20th century in many European homes appeared plastic windows. To Egypt they came much later and gain well-deserved popularity somehow slower, due to their relatively high cost. However, high strength, durability, aesthetics, and functionality make investments in plastic windows very profitable.
