Premium German brand on the Russian market since 1995. With us you get real German quality from a company with a 48-year history around the world.
- ALL profile systems of the highest class “A”
- ALL are made frost-resistant and marked with the letter “M”
- ALL have maximum 4-sided steel reinforcement
- Uniform quality standard regardless of country of production
The more air chambers, the less air exchange and, accordingly, the higher the thermal insulation.
The wider the profile and the greater the installation depth, the higher the thermal insulation.
Profiles ONLY of the highest class “A”
According to the thickness of the internal walls, ALL of our profiles are of the highest class “A” - the thickness of their front wall is at least 3 mm.
- class “A”: front wall not less than 3.0 mm
- class “B”: front wall not less than 2.5 mm
- class “C”: wall thickness is not standardized
Please note that 80-90% of the Russian market are classes “B” and “C” and only 10-20% are class “A” profiles. At the same time, in our assortment VEKA profiles are ONLY class “A”.
We fundamentally DO NOT use profile systems of classes “B” and “C” (with a front wall width of less than 3.0 mm).
ONLY frost-resistant profiles
According to GOST 30673-99 “PVC profiles for window and door units” for resistance to climatic influences, ALL of our profiles are “frost-resistant” - for areas with an AVERAGE monthly air temperature in January BELOW minus 20°C.
GOST standards for different classes:
- normal version “N”: the average temperature in January is minus 20°C and above
- frost-resistant version “M”: the average temperature in January is lower than minus 20°C
Our assortment includes ONLY frost-resistant profile systems marked with the letter “M”.
Heat transfer resistance (thermal thermal resistance) is the main thermal insulation coefficient. It is determined by the ratio of the temperature difference between outside and inside the room to the heat flow passing through the window. The higher this number, the better the insulation performance.
Evolutionary double-glazed windows SmartGlass 2.0
Our multifunctional double-glazed windows work for you both in winter and summer. In winter, the spraying of silver particles retains up to 90% of the thermal energy of heating devices, and in the summer, a double-glazed window reflects 25% more solar heat than conventional plastic windows.
- 42% more HEAT in winter (energy saving properties)
- 25% less HEAT in summer (sun protection properties)
All our double-glazed windows contain special energy-efficient glass. We DO NOT use regular glass even in the most basic configurations.
AirDrive I, II and III climate control systems
Optimal ventilation mechanisms are built into the windows - the sashes open slightly by 1-5 mm, depending on the selected mode. These are NOT external devices (combs or valves), but BUILT-IN ventilation fittings.
Three options:
- AirDrive I: slot ventilation (1 mode)
- AirDrive II: discrete multi-stage ventilation (3 modes)
- AirDrive III: discrete multi-stage ventilation (5 modes)
We try not to place combs based on their appearance (only at your request). In principle, we do not use valves due to the fact that they violate the integrity of the window, reduce its tightness and strength (since the profile and its reinforcement are drilled through).
The Business-M plant carries out orders for the production of plastic windows and doors, components and accessories for glazing.
We declare the high quality of all products manufactured by the plant and are responsible for each product.

Components of the quality of working with Window Company Business-M:
High-quality components
To give the best, it is important that these are proven solutions from leaders, components that have passed tests in the laboratories of testing centers and by end consumers in other regions.
In addition, only by using products from leading factories can we guarantee minimal defects.
It's all in the profile: windows made of high-quality PVC
For our products we use only VEKA (Century) brand profiles. Windows and doors have passed the 20-year test of time and confirmed the high level of quality.
How can a profile be better than its analogues?
At the VEKA plant, samples are taken for examination twice a day from each extrusion line. Daily monitoring includes several assessment tests:
- - The appearance of the profile is visually assessed.
- - Measure the weight of one linear meter of the profile (variations within 4% of the average weight of the VEKA PVC profile are considered acceptable).
- - For the main parts of a plastic window (sash, frame, impost, frame), an acetone test is carried out: a sample of the PVC profile is immersed in acetone and its change over time is observed. A high-quality PVC profile should not be subject to changes within 5 hours.
In addition, optional profile indicators are necessarily assessed to ensure VEKA quality:
- - longitudinal shrinkage of a high-quality VEKA PVC profile when heated at 100 degrees for 1 hour should not exceed 2%.
- - the strength to impact from a falling load is assessed. An express method is used to evaluate both the design of the profile itself and the correctness of maintaining process parameters. The VEKA PVC profile is kept for some time in a freezer at a temperature from 0 to -10 degrees, then a load weighing 1 kg is dropped onto the profile from a height of 1 meter. The quality of the VEKA PVC profile is considered to comply with the standard if only 1 sample out of 10 is destroyed during strength testing. With this type of test, the mass of the load and the height from which it falls may change.
- - the reliability of the weld seam connecting different parts of VEKA PVC windows is checked: the weld seam must withstand a load of 400 kg.
Today we are the main manufacturer of Veka windows in Moscow.
Reliable fittings: open as you like and when you like
Providing the consumer with the required opening functions is the main task of the fittings. Fittings for high-quality windows and doors must guarantee comfort, reliability and impeccable handling, and, after their service life, maintainability.
Guided by these criteria, we complete products only with the best fittings. Read more in the article. Custom-made products can have different opening methods: rotary, tilting, sliding, middle-hung - any.
Transparent protection: glass unit
Double-glazed windows occupy the largest area of the window structure. And if you don’t notice them during everyday use of the window, then we have done our job efficiently.
In Business-M you can order double-glazed windows of various functionality that can solve the needs of any buyer for protection: from noise, from frost, from the sun, from attempts to penetrate into private life, for children and household members, and others. We are ready to offer these solutions, in demand and innovative, thanks to our suppliers and the selection of the best that we do for our clients.
Manufacturing of any designs
The first window production appeared in Moscow in 1995; before that, all Euro-windows (as PVC windows with double-glazed windows were called then) were imported to Russia from Eastern European countries, in particular: the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, already assembled, ready for installation.
In 1996, the Business-M company entered the window business. During the year, the first experience in installing and supplying windows and doors made of plastic from third-party manufacturers was gained. In 1997, the Business-M company opened its own production facility in Moscow for the production of plastic windows and PVC doors.
Since the launch of the first line for the assembly of standard windows from PVC profiles, the plant has been changed and modernized many times, mastering new methods of production and use of PVC profiles for the production of window and door units of a wide variety of shapes and configurations.
Today we are ready to take on the implementation of almost any glazing project, produce plastic windows and doors of any complexity from the Veka (Century) profile, in accordance with building standards and GOST requirements.
The assembly of products is carried out in accordance with GOST 30674-99 Window blocks made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) profiles, the quality of the products is confirmed by the declaration of conformity.
Production of plastic windows at the factory:
- Formation of a set for production;
- Profile preparation: bending, laminating, painting, milling;
- Reinforcement of the profile with a steel liner;
- Welding frame and sash;

At first, Russian companies were engaged only in window assembly. Profiles, double-glazed windows and fittings were brought from abroad. This is understandable - there was not enough own working capital to develop production capacities and purchase equipment. The domestic industry did not produce such complex equipment, and foreign lines were very expensive.
Now the situation has changed - a significant segment of the market is occupied by Russian companies. True, quite often they continue to cooperate with foreign partners and produce their products under their brands.
Advantages of plastic windows from Russia
Surprisingly, domestic plastic windows have a number of advantages, and user reviews about them are only positive.
we will call you back
It is worth highlighting some of the advantages:
- The Russian profile is better adapted to the existing climatic conditions in the country. You shouldn’t think that there is a difference only in the number of chambers and thickness, although there is, of course, that. Our companies are making frames and subframes more stable, the thickness of the supporting sheet steel has been increased, and the amount of zinc has been increased to increase corrosion resistance.
- Design. Domestic windows in their design and construction are quite similar to the wooden ones familiar to our customers. They preserve local flavor and local house-building traditions.
- Selling price. An important factor for all consumers. Prices for domestic products are significantly lower than their foreign counterparts. And this despite the fact that the quality is in no way inferior to them, and in some indicators is even ahead.
Cost of Russian windows
Each company has its own pricing policy, and it consists of many components. Sometimes these are objective indicators that correspond to cost and quality, and sometimes the high cost is not explained by these factors alone. The cost of windows can range from $40 to $200 per square meter.
Let's try to understand in detail why there are such huge fluctuations.
- Price of PVC profiles. In the total cost, this figure can be up to 40%.
- Double-glazed windows. This is a very expensive and complex element. Depending on individual performance characteristics, the price of double-glazed windows can be up to 50% of the total cost.
- Accessories. There are also quite significant fluctuations here; on average, the cost of fittings can be up to 10%.
- Accessories (window sills, ebbs, mosquito nets, etc.). Depending on the manufacturer - domestic or foreign - their price can reach 30% of the total cost of the window system.
- Brand premium. The more well-known a brand is to consumers, the more money they pay for a recognizable name.
- General production, overhead and other expenses. It all depends on the ability to organize the production cycle and the integrity of the company.
Which Russian windows should you choose?
We hope that now the buyer can independently assess the price-quality ratio and make the best decision for himself when purchasing windows.

What are the best plastic windows? Advantages, disadvantages, reviews of popular PVC profiles
.jpg)
We are aware that by rating windows, we are thereby invading the territory of professionals who are very skeptical about ratings of this product. But “Expert Price” would not be himself if he had not tried to rank everyone.
Which profile of plastic windows is better?
To understand the subtle nuances of the assessment, we had to study a considerable amount of informational texts, a huge number of all kinds of amateur and professional reviews, and conduct a little research of our own.
The product, about which so many copies have been described, is in fact the most ordinary plastic stick, but, however, with a complex surface and internal structure. To give strength, there is a metal insert made of galvanized steel inside the profile, and internal plastic partitions create air chambers that ensure heat conservation. All. It seems, what is there to argue about? Steel will remain steel no matter what is done to it, but the plastic used by all companies is the same - polyvinyl chloride (PVC). It follows that the window profile of any production must be of the same quality. Is it so? And how do you choose the best from what is identical by definition?
Criteria for choosing a profile
Country of origin of the profile
Any company that recycles a window profile indicates its origin. At the same time, you can very often find the word “German” in the descriptive part. We recommend that you clarify what is meant by this word, because... Sellers like to use it to justify the high price of a finished window. The lion's share of this profile is produced in Russia using German technology. In this case, relatively cheap energy resources and labor are used, therefore, the cost of the product should differ from the profile produced in Germany.
Number of thermal insulation chambers
Of course, the most important criterion. It is believed that the more chambers, the better the thermal insulation. However, do not forget that an excessively large number of chambers can lead to the fact that the thermal conductivity coefficient can, on the contrary, increase due to the plastic partitions, which will act as a cooling radiator. Therefore, we definitely pay attention to the following criterion.
Profile width
When choosing a profile for a living room, it is better not to skimp on this parameter. Everything is simple here, the wider, the warmer. It is only worth noting that small-chamber wide profiles can be easily deformed, because have few stiffeners.
Number of double-glazed window chambers
Reinforcing steel insert
It comes with an open or solid contour. If there are no restrictions on strength, then we advise you to choose an open one, it is warmer.
ISO 9001 Certificate

KBE profile (KBE)
Voskresensk

The average price in the Russian Federation for windows measuring 1470x1420 from a profile 70 mm thick: 7,700 rubles
KBE is another German company that has built enterprises in Russia, in particular, factories in Voskresensk and Khabarovsk. No special differences between the KBE profile and competitors' products were found. However, the cost of KBE is slightly lower. At the same time, the company’s profile is ISO certified, and the marketing move for issuing partner certificates is respectable. Let me explain: the company issues an “Official Partner Certificate” to the best profile processors and thus can indirectly influence the quality of the finished windows. I must make a reservation - this certificate does not provide any guarantees to the consumer.
So, the list of products:
- “Etalon” and “Engine” - 3 cameras, width 58 mm

The average price in the Russian Federation for windows measuring 1470x1420 from a profile 71 mm thick: 10,600 rubles
The Belgian concern The Deceuninck Group (Deceuninck Group) releases its own profile in the Moscow region. The production is not certified, which is strange, because all of the company’s European factories are ISO certified. Whether this is due to unstable quality or whether management simply hasn’t gotten around to it yet is unknown. The profile “collected” the usual ratio of both positive and negative reviews. Product line:
- Forward - 3 cameras, width 60 mm
- Bautek - 3 chambers, width 71 mm
- Favorite - 5 cameras, width 71 mm
- Favorite Space - 6 cameras, width 76 mm
- Eforte - 6 chambers, width 84 mm
Pros:
- Availability of several highly efficient systems
- Quality
Minuses:
- High cost of outdated modifications
Typical reviews about Deceuninck windows:
“Deceuninck profiles are very reliable and retain heat well”
“The windows withstood the winter tests perfectly”

The average price in the Russian Federation for windows measuring 1470x1420 from a profile 72 mm thick: 11,900 rubles
Included in the list as a regular figure in Internet ratings. From the information gleaned from the website of the company SOK (Samara Window Constructions) you can easily find out that the company does not have its own production of window profiles. The “branded” profile is manufactured at the Profine concern plant (see KBE). This means that the profile is produced in accordance with international requirements and is ISO certified, which is not bad. But the question immediately arises about the high cost of windows made from this profile, the price of which is significantly higher than KBE windows. The choice of configurations is very small, only two types:
- Corporate profile SOK-470 - 4 chambers, width 62 mm
- Corporate profile SOK-570 - 5 chambers, width 72 mm
pros:
- quality
- unique camera arrangement
Minuses:
- inflated cost of finished products
- small selection
Typical reviews about SOK windows:
“JUICE is a normal profile, no better and no worse than many”
“I liked the profile, simple and strong”
Which plastic windows are still better to install?
And in the end, the main thing is that a careless window manufacturer or a handsless installer can turn the best profile into disgusting trash. Therefore, before ordering windows, consult with neighbors, friends or just acquaintances who have already contacted the company you have chosen. Remember that a profile is just a piece of plastic, which, although it is an important component of a window unit, its choice must still be justified in combination with such factors as reliable fittings, a good double-glazed window and the conscientiousness of the craftsmen.
