If you have chosen wooden frames for your home, you are probably familiar with such a problem when using them as high thermal conductivity. It should be noted that this is their only drawback, which can be eliminated very simply. To do this, you just need to do the process of warming wooden windows with your own hands. Separately, it is worth noting that such products, despite the stable popularity of plastic structures, continue to be in high demand among consumers. This is primarily due to their environmental friendliness, strength and reliability of the material, which, among other things, also has excellent decorative characteristics. Do-it-yourself insulation and repair of wooden windows can be done in several ways, some of which we will consider in today's article.
The cheapest and easiest option is to fill gaps with paper. To do this, you can use both specially designed material for this, and old newspapers. True, this method of insulating wooden windows with your own hands has one drawback - the difficulty of dismantling. When peeling off, strips of paper are often removed along with the paint, so afteroften you have to paint all the window frames. In addition, this method is disposable, that is, the materials for insulation are used only once. After dismantling, the paper strips are unsuitable for reuse.
It is more expedient and convenient to insulate wooden windows with your own hands using cotton wool. Instead, you can also use the remains of foam rubber, textiles or paraffin. All existing gaps should be sealed with cotton wool and sealed with fabric strips on top. Before work, they must be soaked in a soapy or adhesive solution. These strips are easily removed, but they are not suitable for reuse.
But the most effective tool is to seal wooden windows with your own hands using modern materials that are simply inserted into the sash frames. For better sealing, a silicone seal should be used, it also serves as an obstacle to the penetration of dirt and dust into the frame. You can buy such materials at any construction market or in a store, and the process of installing them will not take much time. It is worth noting that the manufacture of wooden windows with your own hands "from scratch" involves the use of such materials. Finally, they are "adjusted" when installing window sashes. It is best to use rubber insulation pads. They are considered the most durable and moisture resistant, and are also able to provide the best thermal insulation.
Make your windows a long timedid not lose their attractive appearance, you should take care in advance about the choice of material for their insulation. The process itself is recommended to be carried out in advance, without waiting for the winter season, when the frames become damp and condensation collects on the glass.
