Everyone knows that in the winter it is very important to correctly, and most importantly, hearing window systems. Since a huge amount of thermal energy is lost due to cracks and cracks in the windows, 40% can reach losses. However, not all residents of high -rise buildings and private houses can replace old wooden windows with modern plastic window systems. In this situation, you can significantly increase the comfort of your life by sealing windows according to Swedish technology.
Windowing windows with cotton wool, paper and soap is no longer relevant, since this method does not allow to fully ventilate the room in the cold season. To that this method is very laborious, and not everyone can distinguish so much time during the day.
An alternative can be insulation of windows according to Swedish technology using a special seal. This material has been developed in Sweden, and for many years has been unchanging in many European countries. Recently, this method of sealing has become widespread in Russia.
Advantages of using Euro-Strip technology:
– reduction in heat loss;
– insulation from extraneous noise and dust;
– installation at any time of the year;
– increased operation of windows;
– Presentable appearance.
Stages of window insulation according to Swedish technology.
1. Window washing and a thorough inspection for integrity.
2.Checking all locks and window handles.
3.Peeling of the old paint.
4.Preparation of a special groove around the entire perimeter: width – 5 mm, angle in relation to the stitch – 45 degrees.
5.Installation in the grooves of the seal using a special video.
6.Gluing a rubber seal, it is not recommended to cover with paint on top.
7.It is necessary to seal the junction of the glass with the window frame.
8.Fitting new fittings and wings.
It is better if this work is performed by a professional master, since it is very important to make a seamless insulation circuit using a seal.
Materials used in warming windows according to Swedish technology.
1.Original tubular seal.
It can be of two types: silicone and rubber. The service life of the first – up to 20 years, rubber – up to 6 years.
2.Sealant.
A choice between silicone and acrylic sealant is possible. Sealing cracks and gaps plays a very important role, since over time the windows are drying out and losing their original appearance.
