PVC windows in Rumia

WIKĘD PVC windows in Rumia — ranges and profiles

We work with 5-, 6- and 7-chamber profiles, selected to suit the actual characteristics of the building. For a flat in a block of flats, the mid-range option is usually sufficient; for a house insulated to energy-efficient standards, we go down to a U-value of 0.74 W/m²K, which corresponds to the passive house standard. There are over 60 colours and wood-effect finishes to choose from — ranging from classic white, through anthracite, to wood-effect finishes, which are a popular choice for detached houses on the outskirts of town.

For buildings in Rumia, we pay particular attention to the fittings. Salt-laden air — approximately corrosion category C4 according to ISO 12944 — attacks metal components more rapidly; we therefore recommend fittings with enhanced corrosion protection and seals that can withstand intense sunlight from the bay side. The joinery is covered by a manufacturer’s warranty of up to 10 years.

We do not publish price lists or price ranges, as two windows of the same size may require completely different work. Several factors influence the cost of PVC windows at once:

• dimensions and layout of the openings, and the number of opening sashes,
• glazing unit — double- or triple-glazed, with a solar control or acoustic coating,
• colour and veneer, single- or double-sided,
• installation method — in the reveal, within the insulation layer, with vapour-barrier tapes,
• access and carrying conditions: first floor, lift, stairwell width, access for vehicles to the front of the building,
• The condition of the opening after the old joinery has been removed.

That is why we come to Rumia, take measurements, inspect the door and window frames, and only then do we draw up a specific quote. Measurements and quotes are free of charge and without obligation — all you need to do is book an appointment.

Replacing windows in traditional Roman-style buildings — what to look out for

The building stock in Rumia is a very mixed picture. On the one hand, there are prefabricated concrete block blocks of flats, where the openings have standardised dimensions, but the reveals can be uneven, and the external window sills are set so shallowly that they have to be rebuilt from scratch when replaced. On the other hand, there are detached houses built in the 1990s, often already insulated, where the window needs to be shifted into the polystyrene layer to avoid creating a thermal bridge.

The common factor is their proximity to the sea. Less than 9 km from the coast, the damp, salty air accelerates the corrosion of hinges, handles and fixings, whilst the wind from the bay places greater strain on large glazed areas and balcony doors. That is why, for buildings in Rumia, we select fittings and fixings with a margin of resistance, and we seal the installation in layers — vapour-permeable on the outside and airtight on the inside.

What is the process for fitting PVC windows in Rumia?

The order process is always the same:

• Measurements — we’re travelling from Kochanów in the municipality of Luzino, a distance of around 23 km; we measure each opening individually, check the reveals, the way the old joinery is fitted, and the access route.
• Order — once the profile, glazing package and colour have been finalised, we send the joinery order to production WIKĘD and provide a realistic delivery date.
• Installation — removal of old windows, preparation of the reveal, fixing with anchors or wall plugs, multi-layer sealing, finishing of window sills and adjustment of fittings.
• Handover — we check that the sashes are working properly, that they close correctly and that the micro-ventilation is functioning, we tidy up the work area and hand over the warranty documents.

The distance from Rumia to our base is short enough that servicing or adjustment work after the season is no problem.

We also serve the surrounding area

Rumia lies right in the middle of the area we cover on a daily basis, so whilst we’re out and about, we also serve the neighbouring towns. The nearest is Gdynia — about 4 km away, and in the other direction, Reda — about 5 km. We’re similarly close to Dębogórze (5 km) and to Kosakowo (7 km). A little further away, about 8 km, we fit PVC windows in Gdynia Obłuże and in Mosty.

In practice, this covers the entire strip between the valley and the bay’s shore, where conditions are similar: a similar distance from the sea, the same type of wind load, and the same need for fittings resistant to salt-laden moisture. If you’re installing or replacing windows and doors in any of these towns, book a free measurement — we’ll pop round whilst we’re in the area.
