Solving the issue of insulation of windows with their hands

The onset of winter many the question arises - how to properly insulate the window with his hands?

The purpose of such action - to reduce heat loss and increase the temperature in the rooms.

There are many ways how to insulate windows, using different materials.

, you need to know about all the possible options to determine which is best to use a heater.

materials for thermal insulation of windows

the materials used for thermal insulation of windows in the house with his own hands can be as modern, as well as those used by our grandmothers.

Each heater has its own characteristics, so you should choose the material suitable for a particular window.

strips of paper, old newspapers

this way for a long time to warm the window.Old newspapers soaked in water and then put them in the gap between the frame and sash, glazing beads and glass.

top of the frame joints, flaps glued a strip of paper.

This method is effective, but has a drawback.In the spring, when you need to open the windows, it is very difficult to remove the glued strips.Together with them, may damage the paint on the frame.T

This way you can warm a wooden frame, but aluminum and plastic windows so insulate impossible.

wool, strips of cloth

replaced paper insulation windows came caulking cotton.It is necessary to invest in a slot formed in the window construction.Top slots are sealed with a cloth.

act as a heat insulator air bubbles in the wool.Spring fabric strips can be easily removed without damaging the paint.

not be neglected in this way, because the wool copes with its function - insulation of windows.And the cost of it is much lower than other materials.

Cloth sealing gaps can be replaced by a special tape.

Foam and Tapes

If the window sash much dried up and formed a large gap, you should use foam.It is adhered around the perimeter of the window frame.

This material will last for several years, after which it will begin to crumble.Top slots can seal the tape, which retracts the spring.

windows should be warm, acquiring new seal.

Paraffin or wax

If the frame gap small, can be used for thermal insulation of windows paraffin.

Its melt, in a syringe and fill in the gap.This material does not need to be removed in the spring.

It will serve as a heater for several years.

Heat film

This material is new.The film transmits light in the room, but does not leave the heat.

adhered material must be careful on the screen - the surface with a metallic sheen must be sure to look at the street.

If you stick it carefully, the film will not be noticeable.This material can be glued on a plastic window.

insulated jumpers over the windows

How to insulate wooden windows in the winter, you can look at video instruction.First, it is recommended to inspect bridges for crossing the cold air.

jumpers - part of the wall, overlapping the top of the window opening.Jumpers are very strong, because they have to withstand heavy loads.But they have low thermal insulation.

«cold bridge" is formed on the beam will increase the loss of heat in the room, so you need to insulate the bridge.

Warming of this part of the wood, plastic window should be carried out.The surface of the bridge need to prepare, then put a heater.As the insulation foam can be used.Top

need to perform finishing.Such a method warming jumper is preferred as it will not be formed by condensation insulation material.

If you can not hold warming jumper outside the window, you can perform this operation from the inside.

as insulating material is recommended to choose a mineral wool, penoplex.

be sure to cover it with a special film for waterproofing when using mineral wool.After warming jumper can close the finishing material.

If you look at the instructions in the video, the jumper can be warmed quickly and efficiently.

insulated soffits, window sill

If the insulation of the frame still observed loss of heat, it is necessary to inspect the slopes, windowsill wooden or plastic windows in the house.

Those who attended the installation of windows, knows that in the space between the frame and the opening in the construction of the house were placed various rags, pieces of jerseys, can be glass wool.

Such materials are not able to trap heat in the room.Slopes and sill with cold filling of good passes in the street.

before warming the sill and window slopes need to prepare - to remove old material from all the cracks, clean the surface of the wall and the frame, and then attach to the new insulation.

thin foam after installation you need to putty.Consolidating this material is not recommended to apply a lot of glue.

foam tends to expand at high temperature, resulting in crack glue.

Polystyrene foam can be also used as insulation on the window sill and slopes.In this case it is necessary to use foil to provide a vapor barrier.

popular material to insulate the window sill and slopes, is mineral wool.Even in the most severe frost with insulation slopes retain heat in the room and does not miss the cold street.

addition to high thermal insulation properties, mineral wool absorbs sounds great.When the window is closed the noise from the street hardly will penetrate into the room.

Stack mineral wool in the window sill and slopes need to glue, but with the pre-slope of the surface is necessary to remove dust, dirt, smooth out any unevenness.

top of the slope can be laid insulation finishing material.

After warming slopes should be carefully seal the joints between the frame and acrylic panels, silicone sealants.Suitable and modern material - "liquid plastic".

Also it has insulating properties and other characteristics: durable, does not change color under the influence of ultraviolet light.Outside, you need to install wood or aluminum soffits.

To properly insulate soffits, window sill, windows in the house with his own hands, it is recommended to watch the video.

What to sealing glasses

during prolonged use loose glass sealing.This can be seen by the rattle of glass between the glazing beads and frame.The cause of loose glass installation can be fissuring wood.

For insulation windows with their hands is used a method in which the glass must be removed by removing the glazing beads.

Around the perimeter of the frame must be fluff silicone sealant, and then fasten the glass and gently press down.

should not be silicone passes around the perimeter.From above stack and strengthen the glazing beads.

Applying this method of insulation glass windows in the house, should know - with windows replacing it can only be broken down.But given that the glass change very rarely, they can be used.

Window sash must also be inspected for depressurization.The two halves of the leaf, not adhering tightly to each other, may also miss the cold street.

solve the problem correctly can be the same silicone sealant or use foam or rubber gasket.

In the latter case, the window will be collapsible, but the cold air in the room will not miss.

Warming built-in refrigerator

Not everyone saw this miracle of engineering technology as a built-in refrigerator.They are mounted in homes 60s, 70s.

It is a niche under the kitchen window, where the hostess kept utensils or food in the winter.

Built-in refrigerator it is necessary to properly insulate, as its back wall is very thin and allows the cold.It also has a port for ventilation.

are buried niche completely not necessary, because it can be used for its intended purpose, but have warmed.I do it just with his hands.

Refrigerator door closes, which should protect the room from the cold air into the room.

Over time, it becomes leaky, so it is advisable to install a plastic door.

Thus, the refrigerator will fit harmoniously into the surrounding space, and will be a barrier to the cold air.

inside the refrigerator can be insulated with a thin insulation, for example, porileksom.It is a foam, but very thin, covered with foil on top of the material.Then

refrigerator can obbit plasterboard or plastic sheets.But to close the ventilation hole foam or foam is not necessary.

will not receive fresh air flow, and in the niche will be collected condensate.As a result, the fungus will be formed that will negatively affect the health of occupants.

Winter refrigerator can be fitted with shelves for easy storage of foods or utensils.If the appliance is insulated from the outside, there is no need to warm his inside.
