It protects the apartment from atmospheric precipitation and penetration of strangers, is design element, etc. Types of windows today huge number. And it is necessary to work with each of them correctly - to warm, repair and look after.
Any windows, be they plastic, wooden, aluminum or other others, sooner or later begin to need under repair. After time they wear out, warp and begin to appear. To return them operating condition, it is necessary to make certain efforts.
Types of windows
Today distinguish several different types of windows which are popular. At each of options the tasks and also merits and demerits. It is possible to choose any option which to you is more to liking. But before it it is desirable to study quality characteristics of each look.
Wooden windows - the most traditional option. They are most optimum in terms of ecology as live material - tree - perfectly breathes. Besides, the qualitative tree can serve quite long. Modern wooden windows are made on the same technologies, as plastic. That is the window block is very similar - frames also lean back and turn. It is necessary to consider that wooden windows more expensive at the expense of higher cost of the material. Plastic windows - option most popular today. Their main advantages - beautiful and accurate exterior, convenience in leaving and operation. Opponents of PVC of windows claim that they are harmful because are made of synthetic materials. But the conducted researches have proved that in these myths there is no slightest truth.
Modern materials are absolutely safe in terms of impact on human body. Each company respecting itself has certificate confirming safety of such products.
The third type of windows - aluminum. Such are in most cases used for finishing of street rooms - balconies, verandahs, terraces, etc. The aluminum shape belongs to the category of cold glazing, but at the same time it is not worse than the first two options at all. It can quite be warmed.
Warming of windows
The choice of way of warming of window directly depends on its look. So, for example, the normal wooden window can be warmed by means of normal foam rubber. Especially, today producers offer buyers special tapes of foam rubber on adhesive tape. Such it is only necessary to lay on box and to paste to it. Over time foam rubber will get used, will be trampled down and it will become ideal to adjoin the block. At the same time it will not pass drafts and moisture. One more option - utepleney windows by means of special cut-in heater from rubber. It is inserted into groove and reliably fills with itself(himself) the available slots. As a result the window becomes hermetic and rather warm.
Plus rubber heater is that it fastens to window more reliably, than foam rubber. It is connected with the fact that it has no sticky elements which crack over time and lose the properties.
Plastic and aluminum windows are in the habit to wear out also eventually. As a result you can feel house drafts, will find out that condensate began to appear. It is impossible to leave everything just like that - it can lead to serious problems with window in the future which can even lead to full replacement of window case. And it means that also additional costs will be involved. As a rule, experts say if the PVC window became cold, it means that restoration of rubber gasket is required. The reason that it leaky adjoins to shutter. It is the in this situation best of all to call the master who will perform necessary repair works and will correct all accessories. Usually at repair all defective parts are replaced with new. The price for replacement of old parts on new it is in advance impossible to define. It depends on the sizes of window, amount of works and some other factors. It is possible to carry out repair works on warming of windows at all seasons of the year - though in the summer though in the winter. It will not affect quality in any way.
Repair of windows
Windows are in the habit to break sooner or later. But in it there is nothing terrible - they can easily be repaired. If you are not sure of the forces, it is rather simple to call the expert. But if you have abilities, it is quite possible to repair window independently. So, for example, first of all it is necessary to evaluate correctly the amount of accident, i.e. to define scope of work. So, often at window the accessories fail. As a result becomes impossible to open window or to cast away it aside. For correction of such problem it is necessary to check all turning elements at once. Begin with the handle, then check hinges. As a rule, for repair it is enough to tighten up several small screws or gayechek. It happens so that the handle ceases to turn normally - brakes, hard goes and even creaks. It means that its mechanism has failed. For correction of situation it is enough to blow the mechanism compressed air and to oil it. If glass has cracked - not very well just glass or double-glazed window - it is desirable to order same from the producer of your window block. Normal zakleivaniye of cracks not to solve problem. Moisture will get through cracks and to gather inside, forming drips and stains.
