Advantages
A German name with fifty-plus years behind it and a look all its own
More than 55 years spent extruding PVC profiles. Veka helped build the European plastic-window industry from the ground up.
Rounded edges are Veka's calling card. Those soft contours give a window a warm, understated look that never feels harsh.
Every Veka profile hits the top Class A grade under the RAL standard. Outer walls of 3mm and up mean real strength and a long life.
Veka takes back old windows and reprocesses them. Its VEKA Recycling scheme turns spent profiles into fresh material.
Windows

Sliding Systems

Design Features
The signature Veka look that tells its windows apart from the rest
Softline is Veka's whole design approach, built around gentle, rounded profile shapes. Where rival profiles tend to be sharp and angular, Veka Softline flows with smooth transitions and curved edges.
It's a choice that pays off beyond looks: rounded surfaces hold less dust, wipe down in seconds, and the lack of sharp corners makes a window friendlier in a home with small kids.
Softline really comes into its own in classic interiors, country houses and any flat where you want that warm, lived-in feel.
Brand Comparison
Gloss against matte, fresh ideas against solid steel
If you've landed here, you already know both names sit right at the top of the window pecking order. Splitting them on plastic quality alone is a waste of time — both are faultless and good for 50-plus years. But they pull from two different camps: Rehau is the world of styling, new ideas and a flawless mirror gloss; Veka is the world of engineering restraint, fully closed steel and a deep, refined matte texture.
Rehau (HDF):
High-gloss and catches the light. Barely any pores, so grime won't cling — a single wipe and it's done.
Veka (Matte):
Satin with a faint texture. Reads as solid and expensive, throws no glare, and hides scratches and dust.
The biggest difference is the one you can't see — the steel reinforcement inside.
Veka:
A fully closed box section — stiffness off the charts. The frame won't flinch, even in a gale.
Rehau:
A U or G profile. Plenty for a flat. On the Geneo range, fibreglass replaces the metal entirely.
Rehau:
A distinctive twin-lip seal (often grey) for top-end airtightness.
Veka:
Tried-and-true rubber with a thick, hard-wearing wall.
Search around and you'll hit thousands of "Veka wins!" posts and just as many "Rehau wins!" ones. Most of them come down to whether that person's windows happened to be fitted well or badly.
The profile brand is maybe 30% of the outcome. The rest is picking the right series and a clean install. You don't need to master extrusion in five minutes — leave that part to us.

FAQ
Veka is one of the handful of makers that builds nothing but Class A profiles (3 mm walls) to the RAL standard. The payoff is stronger welded corners, hardware that lasts, and a frame that holds its shape for decades.
Softline 70 hits the sweet spot for re-glazing a flat: warm, quiet and bright. Softline 82 is built for houses and villas — its 7 chambers and room for thick glazing (up to 52 mm) deliver standout energy savings.
It is an exclusive surface finish: ultra-matte, soft to the touch (Soft Touch) and very hard to scratch or overheat. Spectral gives a window a high-end look you simply can not get from ordinary lamination.
No. Veka mixes its PVC with top-grade stabilisers, so the profiles shrug off harsh UV and big temperature swings. They keep their bright white finish and smooth surface for their whole working life.
The closed steel core inside the frame — a Veka hallmark — gives the window a rigid backbone. That lets you fit RC2 and RC3 anti-burglary hardware, putting a serious barrier between your home and any intruder.
Easily. With its beefed-up steel core, a Veka profile copes with wind load and the weight of heavy sealed units better than most rivals — exactly what large, dependable panoramic spans demand.
