Modern solutions of thermal insulation

The main source of heat loss in the house - window openings. If they are notching, the room is cooling up quickly, and the heating account increases. We will tell how to insulate the plastic windows if they are blown up. Usually such work takes no more than an hour.

How to understand where it blows

Before proceeding with insulation, it is necessary to reliably determine weak points. Otherwise you have to redo work several times. We list the problems that occur most often:

• Stipples loosely.
• The trough is poorly pressed the sash to the frame.
• The sealer was worn out.
• Violated tightness of foam seams.

To reveal a specific place of purge, it is enough to hold the back of the palm around the perimeter of the frame, slopes, sash and under the windowsill. In places of depressurization, air movement is felt. If you want your hand, the sensitivity increases, and you can easily notice even small gaps.

For a visual assessment, you can use matches or lighter. If somewhere it sits, you see how the flame deviates from the vertical. To avoid fire, it is impossible to bring fire to the curtains and flammable subjects.

Pay attention, the intensity of the draft is always different. The strongest of the slit is blowing in windy weather and with large temperatures between the street and the room. It is necessary to look for the problem at this time.

Causes of blowing window blocks

To know exactly what to do, if you blow out of the plastic window, you need to understand in detail in possible faults:

• Wear sealing gum. This is the most likely cause of the problem. The service life of the new rubber is 10 years under the condition of constant prevention. Without maintenance, it is withstanding about 5 years.
• Accessible wear. Tsazfi have the provisions of "Winter" and "Summer", which are designed for seasonal deformations of the material. If you leave them at the maximum focus, the resource of mechanisms is reduced. At the first stage, the skew can be eliminated by adjustment.
• Violated installation technology. The draft appears when the foam seam is destroyed. If the foam was applied to the dusty wall, over time she moves away. Not covered with asset. Material is chosen in the sun. The coarsest violation is the lack of a closed contour from the insulation.
• Septure of the building. The problem is characteristic of new buildings. In the first years after construction, the foundation always sends a little. If it happens unevenly, the skews appear.
• Blowing slopes. Adjustment to window blocks should become a single insulating circuit. Their device is better trusted professionals. Otherwise there is a risk of cracks and cracks.

Blowing from plastic windows: how to eliminate the cause

Many problems can be solved on their own. But there are two cases in which it is better to trust experienced masters:

• Product on warranty. When identifying defects in the warranty period, all work should be carried out with consent or with the help of the Masters of the installer. Independent intervention can lead to a subsequent failure in warranty service.
• Warming on the outside. If you live in a multi-storey building, work on the restoration of external slopes has to be carried out at the height. Residents of the first floors can take advantage of the stepladder. If the apartment is located above the second floor, you have to work out of the open window opening, which is very dangerous.

For those who want to eliminate blowing with their own hands, we give step-by-step instructions for each of the faults.

How to pull the fittings of plastic windows so as not to blow

For the density of the density of the sash to the frame, the eccentrics are responding, which are engaged in engagement with retaliatory planks. The default installers leave them in a neutral position. But with the onset of cold weather or with a strong impetuous wind, this clamp is not always enough. You have to install it yourself.

On the side of the side are the troughs that need to be adjusted to achieve the desired result. They have three positions:

• Neutral. Installed at the factory manufacturer. The label (point or spot) is located along the vertical axis.
• Winter. The tag on the pin is turned towards the gum. In such a position, the maximum clamp is ensured.
• Summer. The point or risk is facing the street. So weaken the clamp on the summer season, which increases the service life of sealing gum.

The trumps are rotated using a hex key number 4, asterisk or screwdriver. All over the perimeter there are several of them. The exact amount depends on the size of the sash.

When the house gives a shrinkage or elements of the structure with time, you can encounter the distinction of parts relative to each other. Eliminate him adjusting the loops. Learn more about how to do it correctly in the video.

How to eliminate flipping from

The problem is rare and is a factory marriage. Therefore, if the warranty has not yet passed, refer to the installers. Defects can be several.

Usually, the stroke simply does not match the sizes. If its length is less necessary, on the corners, slots are formed. When the headproof turns out to be longer, after installation, it sits down badly and shakes. The defect may appear during operation. Installed with excessive tension, the clamping bar is declined with thermal expansion.

In both cases, the stapper is subject to replacement. You buy a new clamping bar in the window company and cut it on the spot in size. I was driving at an angle to easily do with the help of hacksaw and stusl. Crouching the old long rail is useless. Most often, it is already deformed. And if not, carefully cut it with a couple of millimeters it turns out very difficult.

What to do if the plastic window blows from below from under the sash

If the adjustments described above failed to eliminate the problem, it means that it consists in wear of the sealing gum. At the same time, you can see the following defects: rubbing, jam, loss of elasticity. We select a new rubber according to the sample or type of the profile system. We change in the following sequence:

1. Opening the handle open the handle.
2. In the corner we approach the seal and we will pull it around the perimeter until we do to the top loop.
3. We translate the sash to the "Road" position.
4. I pull out the remaining part of the sealing rubber.
5. Thoroughly clean and mine the installation groove.
6. The beginning of the new rubber we have at the top in the middle. Completely bypassed the perimeter with a single contour. It is important to prevent excessive tension at the corners.
7. In the place of the joint of the rubber cut without an excessive tension or adhesion.
8. I pull out both ends of the gum. We apply on their lower parts around the drip of the "moment" glue and set back.

We definitely change the second sealing contour, which is on the frame. The principle of action remains the same.

The described method is suitable when swingly folding opening. To repair ordinary rotary windows, it is necessary to first remove the sash.

How to get rid of a draft from under the windowsill

Cold air can go directly from under the submap board or from the junction of the lower frame profile with the windowsill. Both defects indicate violations with a foam seam device. In new buildings, installers save foam, scoring large gaps by building garbage.

Dismantling of the window sill and its reverse installation with a thorough propution of the seam becomes the most correct solution. At the same time, it is necessary to break the lower part of the slopes and restore them after repair. Therefore, it is rarely resorted to this method. To cost the smallest destruction, work in the following order:

1. We divide the plaster layer under the windowsill to a height of 5-10 cm.
2. I clean the mounting foam and construction trash from the seam. We only leave the coaching bars on which the windows is lying.
3. Carefully reapply seams for the whole depth.
4. After the frozen, we restore the plaster and wallpaper.

Foam with hardening expands. So that the window sill did not raise up, put something heavy on it.

If the work is carried out at a negative temperature, you need to use the special frost-resistant mounting foam.

This method is suitable only at the shallow depth of the windowsill. If it is more than 20-25 cm, get to the plane of the frame unit is very difficult. In some cases, it is possible to eliminate the defect from the street.

What to do when the plastic window blows from the loop

If a dense adjacent of sealing rubber, the only possible defect remains damage to the slopes. In the excavated adjoits, the infants practically does not happen. Therefore, we will tell, - how to repair the slopes from the sandwich panels. First dismantle them:

1. Remove external framing corners or profiles.
2. A long knife or handwheel on a tree cut through the foam seam around the perimeter.
3. Remove the panels.
4. We consider the remains of foam from the wall and plastic.

After dismantling, we see the quality of the installation of the window block itself. We estimate it visually and install the points through which the cold air goes to the apartment. We remove the old foam in them and replacing the joints again.

The draft can appear due to the formation of cracks in the wall under the plastic panels. If you discovered them, damaged spaces need to be squeezed, projected and seed with plastering.

After sealing problem areas, we restore the slopes.

The problem can be not only in the inner, but also in the exterior. In urban development, the outer slope is formed by the quarter in reinforced concrete panels or brickwork. But a deformation foam seam remains between the wall and window PVC.

Its incorrect sealing becomes the most common mistake. The installers do not close the foam, leaving it under the right sunny rays. Over time, it is destroyed and painted. Fix the damaged adjunct node is simple:

1. I get a knife or spatula from the gap insulation.
2. Re-propine seam.
3. After complete drying of the composition cut its protruding parts.
4. Clearance is closed by a nickname or plastered.

These were the main faults that can be eliminated by their own hands. You learned how to adjust the plastic windows so as not to blow and can now repair them when small defects appear. We give some more recommendations that will help keep warm in the house.

How to make an additional chamber on a double-glazed

Modern two-chamber systems reliably protect the house from any frost. The energy efficiency of old frames is far behind them. Elimination of this disadvantage requires full replacement of glazing, which is very expensive. The budget solution is becoming a special thermal film. It is installed on PVC profile in the following sequence:

1. Carefully my glass and frame.
2. On the perimeter around the strokes, we glue the two-sided tape.
3. We remove the upper protective strip from the tape and glue the film.
4. Sut the excess the stationery knife.
5. Warming up the material until the folds are completely accepted.

The thermal film creates an additional hermetic chamber that accumulates heat and reduces thermal conductivity. It keeps light and remains almost imperceptible.

Alternative methods of energy saving

Technologies do not stand still. Instead of increasing the number of cameras, increasing their volume and use of expensive fillers, specialists paid attention to more budget solutions.

Thanks to the application of special depositions, multifunctional glasses are produced. On the inside, they create a barrier for thermal energy, reflecting it back to the room. A light toning film delays ultraviolet and does not allow the room to overheat in the heat. At the same time, good light transition is preserved.

Innovative development, which is becoming increasingly popular with heated glasses. On balconies and loggias, they can be used instead of heating radiators.
