PIHLA VARMA PRODUCTS
Pihla’s Varma product family is the most popular choice in Fin-
land. Its appearance, strong structures, optional accessories
and energy-efficiency make it easy to choose windows and
doors. You can count on Pihla’s Varma products in all situa-
tions!
RISING TO THE CHALLENGEThe 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 PIHLAThanks 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 RANGEWe make all our windows and doors to measure,
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.
MADE IN FINLANDAll Pihla windows, balcony doors and external
doors are made in Finland.

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 TIGHTNESSVarma has three sealing surfaces: two seals in
the inner sash and one in the outer sash. Var-
ma 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 DURABLEThe 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 alu-
minium outer sash has a steel lock and sturdy
hinges.
VARMA STRUCTURE • Inner sash has an insulating glass unit
• Insulating glass unit has a composite
spacer

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 energy-
efficiency.
A PART OF THE PRODUCT FAMILYThe 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, mak-
ing it easy to install them side by side.
GREAT APPEARANCEThe 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 wind-
pressure resistance tests.
Pihla Varma Fixed windows can be used to build large picture windows and window walls.

GREAT COMBINATION The Varma Patio door combines two excellent
Pihla doors. Patio has the strong plate-struc-
tured 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 op-
tionally 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 mid-
dle lock.
MANY MODELSThe Varma Patio door is manufactured with
one and two glass openings, fully glazed and
as double doors. The size of the glass opening
can be freely defined, for example, at the same
height as the window next to it. Frame depths
are 130, 170 and 210 mm.
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.

WOOD-ALUMINIUM DOORS
The Pihla Varma product family includes two
balcony doors with wood-aluminium structure.
The doors have two door leaves, weather-
resistant aluminium-clad exterior and timber
interior in common.
INWARD-OPENING BALCONY DOORIdeal for small balconies or French windows,
the door has two inward-opening door leaves.
The best features of the door include tight-
ness, noise insulation, energy-saving and a
delicate look.
INWARD- AND OUTWARD-OPENING BALCONY DOORThe traditional balcony door has two door
leaves. One of them opens outward and the
other inward. The door provides good heat
and sound insulation.
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 correctly chosen door makes living more comfortable and practical. Therefore, we recommend studying the different balcony door options carefully.

OUTWARD-OPENINGThe 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 INSULATEDPihla 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.
SAFETY GLASS AS PART OF STANDARD DELIVERYThe sliding doors are made of heart pine,
which is decay-resistant and guaranteed to
stray straight. The threshold is made of weath-
er-resistant and low-maintenance composite
with excellent heat insulation. Varma sliding
doors have a triple-glazed insulating glass unit
and safety glass as part of standard delivery.
Noise insulation glass or sunscreen glass and
a removable decorative lattice are available as
optional accessories.
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.

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 de-
sign with model-specific depth and style. The
design is also available on the inner surface,
depending on the model.
HOLDS OFF THE COLDThe 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.
A WELL-EQUIPPED DOORThe standard depth of casing is 170 mm, the
same as with windows. Doors are also manu-
factured with a frame of 130 and 210 mm. The
maximum door width is 1,090 mm, maximum
height 2,290 mm. The doors have double sili-
cone rubber sealing; one in the frame, one in
the door leaf. There are four hinges, adjustable
vertically and horizontally. The latch of the lock
body can also be easily adjusted.
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.

Cotswold Stippolyte Flemish Satin
Glazing selection significantly influ-
ences both the product’s appearance
and its comfort of use. Some custom-
ers 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.
COTSWOLDCotswold glass provides excellent protection
from view but still lets a lot of light through.
STIPPOLYTEStippolyte glass provides good protection
from view but still lets a lot of light through.
FLEMISH Flemish is clear decorative glass with a
subdued pattern. The glass provides some
protection from view.
SATINSatin glass provides very good protection
from view. This type of glass can also be
called etched, opaline or milk glass.
GLASS OPTIONS

ing, toughened, sunscreen, safety and noise reduction glazing is also available, as well as pat-

ACCESSORIES
Pihla Varma product
EXTERNAL DOOR HANDLES
VENTILATION For ventilation, the window can be equipped
with ventilation window fittings, which makes
the opening and closing of the window or ven-
tilation hatch easy and safe, using one handle.
MOSQUITO SASHESA removable mosquito sash, easy to remove
from the window for the winter, is available for
the ventilation window. The screen material is
either plastic or metal. The metal screen can
be left in place for winter.
BLINDSIt is convenient to purchase the blinds at the
same time as the windows and doors, so that
they can be installed at the factory (except for
fixed windows). The standard colour is white.
Several other colour options are available. In
addition to the standard model, an integrated
model is available where the slats can be
easily adjusted with a knob. New! The excel-
lent Vekki blind for balcony doors and fixed
windows.

house can be enhanced with removable
lattices. The lattice widths are 25, 60 and
90 mm. Varma windows can also be fitted
with fixed lattices for the outer sash. Varma
Fixed windows and Varma Patio doors can be
installed with 24-mm removable lattices, which
are only manufactured as horizontal and verti-
cal lattices.
VALVESWith valves, replacement air can be supplied
in a controlled manner, thus ensuring the suf-
ficient supply of fresh air into the rooms. You
can choose from inlet air window and replace-
ment air valves, for which soundproofing and
allergy filters are also available.

handle, which can be either straight or oval

ways have a handle. The external door handle

ern style. The handles are available in brass,
