A step towards safer and better quality windows and doors: Why is STN 74 6200 key?

The STN 74 6200 standard is essential for the correct design, manufacture and installation of windows and doors, increasing safety and quality. It helps to eliminate errors such as poor-quality designs and improper selection of glasses, which can compromise safety and reduce the service life of structures. Our company participated in the creation of this standard, which is a practical guide for professionals. Compliance with the standard will ensure long-term quality and safety. We also offer trainings to help you apply the rules of the standard in practice.

Why is STN 74 6200 key?

The choice of windows and doors is not only about aesthetics or price, but above all about the right design, quality production and professional assembly. The new Slovak standard STN 74 6200is a significant step towards the elimination of errors in the design and implementation of the opening structures. As a company that has actively cooperated on this standard, we are proud to say that many of our professional suggestions have been incorporated into the standard. We believe that this standard will be a reliable tool for all those who want to build qualitatively, safely and with a view to the longevity of structures.

What does the STN 74 6200 standard bring?

Norma STN 74 6200 is the answer to the increasingly common mistakes in the design of windows, doors and glazed walls. Poor quality solutions, often motivated by the desire to reduce costs, lead not only to a reduction in the service life of structures, but also to serious safety risks. This standard establishes unambiguous rules for the correct design and installation, thereby increasing the quality and safety of opening structures.

Norma helps:

  • Eliminate poor-quality design of windows and doors.Mistakes often arise in the first phase — during design. The standard serves as a guide for designers, architects, manufacturers and investors to minimize such errors.
  • Establish safety principles for the design of glasses.Incorrect solutions, motivated by the intention to reduce costs, can lead to cracking of glass or endangering human safety. The standard provides precise rules on how to avoid these risks.
  • Encourage quality implementation.Compliance with the standard is a prerequisite for successful implementation — from the correct design of the opening structures to the final assembly.

How does the standard improve quality and safety?

The standard is a practical guide that helps to properly design, manufacture and install exterior windows, doors and glazed walls. It makes a significant contribution to solving the most common problems in practice, such as:

  • Errors in the waterproofing of window sills and construction openings.
  • Inappropriate selection of safety glasses and their incorrect fitting.
  • The formation of thermal bridges or deformation of structures that can shorten their service life.

Our company has played a significant role in the creation of this standard. We have put into it our many years of experience in the field of design and implementation of hole structures. Many of our recommendations have become part of the rules of the standard, which makes it a reliable basis for high-quality and safe implementation.

Why is the norm important for everyone?

STN 74 6200 is not only an administrative regulation, but a basic document for all professionals involved in the process of construction or reconstruction. It provides clear guidelines for architects, designers and manufacturers on how to eliminate errors that could later lead to costly repairs or even compromise safety. For investors, in turn, it is a guarantee that their project will be implemented in accordance with the latest quality and safety standards.

Professional training: How to use the standard correctly?

In order for the standard to fulfill its purpose, we offer training with Ing. Peter Snopka, author of the standard and expert in building structures. In the trainings, we deal in detail with the most common errors that the standard solves and teach how to apply the rules of the standard in practice.

The trainings are designed for a wide range of interested parties, including colleges and high schools, designers, implementers and other professionals in the field of construction. Participants will receive valuable design, manufacturing and assembly advice that will help them take the quality of their projects to the next level. In addition, they have the opportunity to consult specific questions and situations from practice, thus gaining an even better insight into the application of the standard in real conditions.

Quality that will stand the test of time

Standard STN 74 6200 is an important step towards safer and more modern constructions. Its observance is an essential prerequisite for a successful implementation that meets customer expectations and ensures the long-term service life of construction solutions. We believe that this standard will become a reliable tool for all those who want to build better.
