Window openings – thermal insulation methods
Many from the distant past remember the methods of window insulation – this is a candle paraffin, cotton tape, strips of paper. But as a result, these actions refused not effective, only precious time and effort were spent. In addition, after such “insulation”, the sash of wooden frames quickly lost their proper appearance, so they required replacement. The list of thermal insulation of window openings is currently much larger, including their effectiveness increased repeatedly. If you do not understand insulation, then it will be extremely difficult for you to choose. You can increase the insulating characteristics of window structures in a simple and inexpensive way to contact a tubular profile. Its manufacture is made of foamed polymers, from foam rubber, from specially processed rubber. It is not difficult to fix such a heater – using special glue in the places of the largest gaps or along the perimeter of the wings. There is such a heater and self -adhesive. The qualitative characteristics and the service life of the tubular profile directly depends on the material of the basis. After two or three years, foams spoil, after three to five years-a profile of plastics, after six to eight years-rubber seals (more reliable, convenient, the price is more than others).If you make a recess in the frame of the frame and fill a small groove with foamed plastic – this will last the resulting seal for a long time. This procedure involves the presence of certain skills corresponding equipment, so it is better to contact specialists. If in this way, insulate the frames, mark magnificent insulating properties, in addition, there is no restriction in freedom of movements (you can always open the sash).It is mainly believed that thermal insulation with additional means of plastic windows is something incompatible. Why? After all, everything has its own time, in plastic structures, gaps can form, poor -quality installation, saving on materials can be performed. As a result, cold air will penetrate the room. To save yourself from such a problem, first you need to adjust the furters of the wings correctly or change the intermary rubber insulation. In other cases, you need to resort to the help of specialists.
