Windows — the main way of heat leakage in any apartment and any house, therefore warming of windows — the most important stage of preparation of the dwelling for cold weather.
Certainly, optimum way of warming of windows is installation of hermetic and heat-insulated metalplastic windows. Unfortunately, in some cases it is impossible for various reasons, and then traditional windows should be warmed. The problem of improvement of thermal insulation of the dwelling was solved by people throughout centuries, and the set of different technologies for ensuring heat and cosiness in the house has been during this time developed during winter.
- Rather easy way to warm windows — to hammer slots with the wet newspapers twisted in plait, and to stick from above with paper. Thermal insulation will be quite good, however in the spring very few people will like to pick out tightly the dried newspaper, and the frame should be recoloured.
- It is possible to hammer slots with cotton wool and foam rubber, and to stick with fabric strips, for example, from old sheet. As glue to use laundry soap, having densely smeared with it damp strips. Fabric during the winter will not gain careless yellow color as paper, and it is simple to remove soap by means of warm water.
- It is possible to fill slots with the melted paraffin which is easy for receiving, having kindled normal candle. To apply the melted paraffin rather conveniently by means of the disposable syringe (certainly, without needle).
- The twenty first century offers the technologies of warming of windows. Use of tubular profile which section can be various form is considered the most progressive. Important advantage of such profile is that it is reliably pasted to frame, blocking heat leakage, at the same time the window does not lose ability to open and be closed. Shortcoming it is possible to call labor input of process of gluing and also the fact that it is possible to carry out it only at temperature not below +10.
- It is possible to warm windows and the heaters made of various materials from foam rubber and rubber to polyvinylchloride. Besides, heaters are self-adhesive and those that demand gluing. Of course, it is more convenient to mount the last on windows, however upon purchase be attentive, glue has effective life. The choice of glue is even more important for independent gluing, the durability and reliability of mounting will depend on it. Silicone sealant is recommended, it is moisture resistant and keeps elasticity even after drying.
