The window and door joinery industry is increasingly shifting its focus from price to durability and low maintenance. This trend is reflected in the latest decision by Gealan, which extends the warranty on Acrylcolor surface durability to 15 years. This change also benefits customers and business partners of Eko-Okna.
Acrylcolor is not a foil. It is an advanced material solution in which, during the extrusion process, a white PVC base is permanently bonded with a colored layer of acrylic glass. The result is a uniform, exceptionally smooth surface with unique properties. It is characterized by:
» weather resistance: acrylic glass is one of the most durable plastics and is resistant to UV radiation;
» ease of renovation: the surface is harder than standard PVC, and minor scratches can be removed by polishing with a damp cloth;
» “cool color” effect: the coating effectively reflects sunlight, preventing excessive heating of the profiles and their deformation.
True windows for generations
The aesthetics of Acrylcolor, resembling a satin finish, go hand in hand with its declared durability. The extended warranty is the result of many years of research into material aging.
Acrylcolor coatings make windows a long-term, multi-generational investment. The color retains its intensity even on the most sun-exposed façades, and the risk of peeling—known from low-quality foils—practically does not exist here. Considering also the structural and thermal insulation parameters of these systems, it can be safely assumed that even the investors’ grandchildren will have no good reason to replace the windows,” says Mirosław Zimny, Head of the PVC Technology Department at Eko-Okna.
15-year warranty: a defining argument for the premium segment
The new warranty conditions (up to 15 years, depending on the market and color range—detailed lists are available separately) primarily constitute a strong tool for distributors. It is worth emphasizing that Gealan grants such extensive protection only to selected key partners who meet the highest technological standards in the production of finished windows.
For installers and showrooms, this information has strategic importance. By offering joinery made with Acrylcolor technology from Eko-Okna factories, they gain an additional, very concrete sales argument that clearly differentiates their offer from local competitors. A longer warranty period is a clear confirmation for the end customer that they are choosing a product with uncompromising quality, durability, and resistance to the passage of time.
