One get used to transform the name of a brand into the common name of the product.
We say \"hoover\" and \"to hoover\" instead of \"vaccuum-cleaner\" and \"to vaccuum-clean\"(!) as Hoover became a popular brand.

In Romanian we say \"frigider\" instead of \"dulap frigorific\", just because the brand \"Frigidaire\" imposed it\'s name as a popular TradeMark.

neutral Andrei Albu : Velux se comercializeaza si in Romania, ca ferestre (din geam termopan) de mansarda. Termopan nu este un "trade mark", ci o denumire generica a acestui tip de geam. Ceea ce nu exclude, bineinteles, posibilitatea de a utiliza si "double-glazed window".
