and energy-efficiency make it easy to choose windows and
doors. You can count on Pihla’s Varma products in all situations!
RISING TO THE CHALLENGE
The Varma range includes windows and doors
for repairing the old as well as for building new.
The selection includes two window models:
triple-glazed opening Varma window and Varma
Fixed. The extensive door range includes
products from external doors to trendy sliding
doors.
VERSATILE PIHLA
Thanks to their durable joints and notable
material strengths, Varma products can be
installed in any building. Pihla Varma products
represent cutting-edge technology, yet are
versatile. There are several colour options and
accessories available.
PRESENTABLE RANGE

which enables customised solutions for new
buildings and for renovation jobs. The size and
shape can be freely selected. The frame depth,
handedness options, glazing, and accessories
are also designed together to best meet your
needs.

VARMA
WINDOW

The Pihla Varma wood-aluminium window
is a reliable basic window and a suitable
option for all properties. The 25-year
guarantee against decay we issue for the
window speaks for Varma’s reliability and
durability.
VARMA WINDOW
ENERGY-SAVING
Pihla Varma is an inward opening, MSE type,
double-sash wood-aluminium window. Due
to the energy-efficient glazing and excellent
sealing, Varma has one of the best energy
ratings. Pihla Varma is available with a U-value
of as little as 0.81, when the frame depth is
210 mm and special low-emissivity glass is
selected.
A PIONEER IN TIGHTNESS
Varma has three sealing surfaces: two seals in
the inner sash and one in the outer sash. Varma has achieved top results in air-tightness,
water-tightness and wind-pressure resistance
tests. Varma is neat and elegant as well as
tightly sealed and reliable.
STURDY AND DURABLE
The solid woodwork of the frames and sashes
is equipped with traditional, durable joints.
The inner sash, made of pine, is strong and
has a thick insulating glass unit. The aluminium outer sash has a steel lock and sturdy
hinges.

Pihla Varma Fixed windows can be
used to build large picture windows and
window walls.
VARMA FIXED WINDOW
INCREASING POPULARITY
The interior of Varma Fixed is timber, and the
external cladding is aluminium. Thanks to the
triple-glazed energy-saving insulating glass,
the window has the energy rating of A. The
popularity of Pihla Varma Fixed windows has
constantly been increasing thanks to their
advanced glazing solution and good energyefficiency.
A PART OF THE PRODUCT
FAMILY
The fixed window can be mixed and matched
with other Pihla Varma windows, thanks to
their uniform colour selection and frame
depth. The fixed and opening windows have a
clear and uniform pressed metal sill line, making it easy to install them side by side.
GREAT APPEARANCE
The glazing uses durable rubber seals both
inside and out. The end result is clean and
elegant but, above all, tightly sealed. Pihla
Varma Fixed has achieved very good results
in air-tightness, water-tightness and windpressure resistance tests.

Varma Patio can be used as a balcony
door, patio door, garden door and utility
room door. Patio is an ideal match for
Pihla windows thanks to the aluminium
exterior. Patio offers the same colour
options as the windows.
VARMA PATIO BALCONY DOOR
GREAT COMBINATION
The Varma Patio door combines two excellent
Pihla doors. Patio has the strong plate-structured door leaf used in external doors, and the
exterior of the door features the weather-proof
aluminium finishing familiar from the balcony
doors. Due to the aluminium cladding, Patio
goes very well next to Pihla windows.
VERSATILE LOCKING
Versatile locking options enable using the
door in different applications and for different
needs. Pihla Varma Patio can be equipped with
a cremorne bolt with a wind brake or a middle
lock used in external doors. Both can be optionally equipped with a lock cylinder, making
it possible to lock the door from the outside
and using the door, for example, as a second
front door for the house. The lock cylinder can
be keyed for the same key as the other house
doors. A similar handle with the Pihla external
door can be selected for a Patio door with middle lock.

Pihla’s sturdy and weather-resistant
balcony doors are always made to
order, so you are guaranteed to get
exactly the kind of door that you want. A

INWARD-OPENING BALCONY
DOOR
Ideal for small balconies or French windows,
the door has two inward-opening door leaves.
The best features of the door include tightness, noise insulation, energy-saving and a
delicate look.
INWARD- AND OUTWARDOPENING BALCONY DOOR
The traditional balcony door has two door
leaves. One of them opens outward and the
other inward. The door provides good heat
and sound insulation.

The woodwork of the Pihla Varma sliding
door is painted with water-soluble paints
that cause less strain on the environment.
The timber surfaces are carefully treated
four times: a protective treatment and three
layers of paint. White is the standard colour.
VARMA SLIDING DOOR
OUTWARD-OPENING
The Pihla Varma sliding door saves space and
makes the room feel bigger. The door can be
manufactured up to six metres wide. A window
wall can be extended with fixed windows that
match the sliding door. The Pihla Varma sliding
door opens outward.
SEALED AND INSULATED
Pihla Varma sliding doors are designed for the
Finnish conditions. They suit detached houses,
terraced houses and blocks of flats alike. Pihla
Varma sliding doors meet the heat insulation
requirements for new buildings. Their heat
insulation properties and tightness are similar
to those of windows. The inward-sealing closer
mechanism makes the Pihla Varma sliding door
very tight. The frame depth is 184 mm.

The Pihla external door has been
designed to be sturdy and durable.
Pihla’s high-quality, reliable external door
remains straight, is heat-retentive and
secure and unaffected by even the most
difficult weather conditions. The Pihla
external door comes with a straightness
guarantee of 10 years.
VARMA EXTERNAL DOOR
STRONGER THAN THE USUAL
The sturdy door leaf of the Varma external
door has stabilising aluminium sheets on both
sides and an HDF board surface. The outer
surface of the door plate features groove design with model-specific depth and style. The
design is also available on the inner surface,
depending on the model.
HOLDS OFF THE COLD
The strong door leaf guarantees excellent heat
insulation even in models with glass. The glass
unit is always triple-glazed low-emissivity glass.
The U-value for doors without a glass opening
is 0.73 W/m2K, and the U-value for doors with a
glass opening is below 1.0 W/m2K, depending
on the size of the glass opening.
The outside of the Pihla Varma external door
threshold is weather-resistant aluminium. The
durability is increased by an aluminium wear
protection strip on the surface of the threshold.

COLOURS
Pihla products are always delivered with finishing. White is popular, but the popularity of other colours
has also increased. An external door does not always have to be white, either! We can also manufacture doors and windows in the colour you want, if you provide us with the exact colour codes. We
offer four standard colours for external aluminium surfaces.
PAINT
Note:
Always check the
final colour from the
colour chart; due
to print technology,
there may be colour
differences in the
brochure.
The inside and outside surfaces of windows and
balcony doors are painted. The paint used is watersoluble acrylic paint, with surface emission class
M1. The environmentally-friendly paint produces no
toxic emissions. The standard colouring for painted
White
surfaces is white NCS S 0502-Y.
NCS S 0502-Y
STAINING
The woodwork of windows and wood-aluminium balcony doors can also be stained. The staining is done with water-soluble stain varnish. The standard stain colours are clear and walnut. Other available options are oak and white lacquer.

ALUMINIUM SURFACES
The external aluminium surfaces of windows and patio doors are powder-coated. In addition to the four standard colours, aluminium profiles can also be delivered anodised. The opening window’s outer sash and the outside leaves of
balcony doors are also available in two colours; the surface visible on the inside can be white, whereas the exterior can
be the same colour as the frame’s outer cladding.

GLASS OPTIONS
Glazing selection significantly influences both the product’s appearance
and its comfort of use. Some customers prefer glass that blurs the view,
whereas others want to see clearly
through the glass. If the appearance
is what counts most, the glazing is
selected accordingly. The window
glazing selection is primarily guided by
energy-efficiency. There are several
glass options for Varma products.
GLASS ACCORDING TO YOUR NEEDS
Glass thickness is designed for window size and conditions. In addition to clear standard glazing, toughened, sunscreen, safety and noise reduction glazing is also available, as well as patterned or coloured glazing. Sensible and comprehensive glazing solutions have been designed
for Pihla Varma products to meet many needs.
