Most Russians prefer wooden windows - this material seems warmer and more vibrant, unlike metal-plastic. But for a long time the choice was made in favor of plastic windows, since wooden had a big minus - not very good thermal insulation properties due to the cracks between the sash and the frame. With memories of the severity of our winters, this drawback seems quite significant.
Using the new technology of window insulation, which is called Swedish, you can well insulate wooden frames and remove gaps. This helps get rid of drafts, improves sound insulation and thermal insulation. This technology has the peculiarity that the insulation is not glued, but is fastened in a specially made groove.
Preliminary work for window insulation
A wooden window is insulated according to Swedish technology in several stages.
1. At the wooden window, the sashes are properly adjusted. If the window is partially rotten during the period of operation, a preliminary replacement is carried out, which helps the insulated window to become more reliable and durable.
2. It is necessary to carefully check all window fittings, adjust those elements that need it, replace those that have become unusable.
3. A glass change may be required - if it is no good, it must be done.
All these stages can be described as preparatory. After their implementation, insulation work begins directly.
