2. PVC window system design
The designer of a PVC window system has to take into account a large number of more or less contradictory constraints. He or she will have to make choices and compromises.
2.1 System content
Of a French market of just over 10 million windows in 2019, 60% were made of PVC.
The French market includes casement windows and patio-doors: French, tilt-turn and hopper windows with 1, 2, 3 or sometimes 4 casements, or sliding windows (see table 10 ).
