Very often, before starting the repair, the question arises of which windows to choose? Typically, the choice is between wooden and plastic windows. Those and others have their advantages and disadvantages that you should get acquainted in more detail in order to understand which windows will suit you. But at the same time it is worth considering that combined windows are now produced.
Plastic windows have good heat and sound insulation due to the use of double -glazed windows.
Frames made of plastic are more durable, do not rot and are convenient to use and care. Plastic windows [1] just wash, they do not require insulation for the winter, and they can always be opened for ventilation. Due to the variety of coatings, you can choose windows of various colors and shades, in accordance with the general design of the room. You can choose, both ordinary white color and imitation of natural wood. But plastic windows have their own disadvantages. Since tightly closed windows are sealed, they do not pass fresh air, which creates a dry stuffy microclimate in the room. This is not very favorable for the health of people in the room, so you need to open the windows all the time and ventilate. Also, the disadvantages are that plastic is still not natural material, and when the windows are heated in the heat, they secrete chemicals that can affect human health. Another problem is mechanical damage that cannot be repaired. If the double -glazed window is damaged, it can be replaced, but the scratches and other marks on the frames cannot be eliminated in any way. In many ways, the quality of the windows depends on the manufacturer and the quality used by him, but it is still important how correctly they are installed.
Among wooden windows, improved wooden windows, the so -called carpentry, or euro windows are distinguished.
The carpentry is ordinary wooden windows, but with improved elements. For example, thanks to the imported structure, you can now easily open and close each window sash. More reliable fittings saved the windows from uncomfortable spinger, and due to a large distance between the sash and the sealing circuit, the windows provide heat and noise insulation. The undoubted advantage of wooden windows is the natural materials used in their production. Thanks to the tree, air circulation occurs and therefore even with closed sashs, the air in the room is always fresh and quite wet. Wooden windows [2] is easier to install than plastic. But there are shortcomings. For example, the inability to fix the sash in the right position, as well as in case of violation of the window technology, can crack and change their geometry.
Wooden euro windows appeared in Russia recently, they have already become popular among consumers. Their main advantage is that natural material, reliable double -glazed windows and high -quality modern accessories are combined in such windows. Frames of wooden windows can be repaired, but every five years it is necessary to update the varnish coating.
