At apartment renovation there is question of what to put frames - wooden or plastic. Plastic are very practical, however wooden can not concede in anything to them. Much like to feel when opening windows touch to live tree, but not heartless plastic. But how it is correct to choose wooden windows?

Instruction

1. First of all it is necessary to measure all windows that know what size of frame you should order. Many companies make independent selection of frames. They bring frames at once and establish them. Try to avoid such situation. Best of all independently to choose frames in warehouse to study them on availability of any defects in detail. If to you have brought windows, then they need also to be examined.

2. Decide on from what breed of tree you would like to put windows. Wooden breeds are coniferous and deciduous. Coniferous breeds have fragility. Also it is worth noticing that such breeds demand special processing by the moisture protecting structure. Coniferous breeds very soft. The pot which has stayed several years on such windowsill can leave mark easily. If you choose deciduous breeds, then will become the owner of durable and strong windows. However there is also minus - such windows constrain heat more weakly. For example, windows from oak look very smartly. But the oak has very big weight therefore it is necessary to try to buy windows with the smallest profile to reach minimum load on accessories. Also the oak demands very difficult procedure of drying therefore it is necessary to buy oak windows only from the checked supplier. Optimal variant are windows from larch.

3. When choosing windows pay attention to availability at the supplier the certificate of quality. It is the best of all to buy windows from that firm which independently is engaged in their production. Do not buy the windows made of integral piece of wood at all. Modern technologies allow to do windows three-layer. It adds to frames of stability and durability. When choosing windows pay attention to external processing. The surface should not be rough and uneven, on it there have to be no cracks. Try to buy not colored frames that it was possible to see all defects if those are available.

4. Pay much attention to selection of double-glazed window. Everything depends on specific conditions of the room in which there will be windows bought by you. The glass thickness has to be not less than 4 mm. The more glasses will be in your double-glazed window, the better windows will keep heat less - to miss external noise. The space between glasses can be filled with air or inert gas. If you want to achieve the maximum effect, then this space can be made vacuum. But it will affect the price.
