Before starting the insulation of windows, thoroughly wash the glass and frames using special means and dry them well. Then the working areas degrease the alcohol (for better adhesion of insulation materials with the surface of the frame) and again dry well. Only after that the prepared windows can be insulated.

The most modern and efficient is the insulation of windows on the following procedure. For the procedure of insulation, you will need a transparent silicone sealant and a special construction gun (they can be purchased in any of building materials stores). First, carefully disassemble the glass from the frame, removing the strokes with a sharp screwdriver (first remove the lower head, behind it - the side, and the upper - last place). Glass recess in comfortable plants, to protect your hands from cuts. Planting glasses Clean the dust with a soft dry cloth. The nozzle on a tube with sealant gently cut over the planted line and insert into the gun. Smoothly pressing the instrument lever, fill with sealant all the recesses, gaps and gaps. After that, immediately mount the glass into place and fix the strokes.

Recently, a special heat-saving film is used increasingly to insulate the windows. Before you go for the purchase of this insulating material, remove the measurements from your window glass (be sure to take a small allowance for the size of the stroke). From the purchased film with the help of sharp scissors, cut the fragment of the desired size. From the pulverizer, spray a thin layer on the glass soap solution and attach a film to it (as a rule, it is fixed from the outside of the window, while the side of the film with a metal brilliance must "look" to the street). After that, it is pretty cut it with a plastic spatula and fasten to the convenience of scotch. Alternately apply the edges of the film under the raised strokes and remove the extra tape. For better fixation of the insulation material, you can use the stationery buttons or furniture stapler, but consider that such additional fasteners can leave small traces on the window frame.

After that, proceed to the sealing of the fabrics, for this use a special seal from silicone rubber with a tubular profile. Such sealing tubes are of different diameters. To determine the size of the gaps in the window, hold down between the frame and the sash piece of plasticine, pre-placed in a thin cellophane package. With the "Slept" obtained, you can pick up a suitable self-adhesive seal. These sealing tubes are installed very easily - remove the protective film from them and secure in the gap in the desired position.

One of the most budget options for the classic woodcutting of wooden windows with newspapers is as follows: Old printing products Soak in warm water, obtained by the pasty mass. Fill all the slots and holes in the window, cover wide paper strips, pre-blurred with thick soap. That's all, as they say, cheap and angry, but not very aesthetically, that is why such a simple and affordable technology that contributes to the preservation of heat is most often used for the insulation of old wooden windows on dachas. During the warming of windows, you should not cover the window to possibly carry out the room.

In the apartments for a similar procedure for insulation of windows, technical wool and white paper tape for sizing windows are used (these materials are sold in household stores and are relatively inexpensive). Watt thoroughly fill all the gaps and carefully proceed the scotch strips. Thanks to its structure, the wool is considered an excellent heat insulator, while it is easily removed during the depressurization of windows. Scotch strips are also easy and simply removed, without damaging the coating of the frames and not leaving any traces. Instead of cotton, you can use foam rubber on a sticky basis, but consider that over time it absorbs moisture and loses its tightness.

As for the insulation of plastic windows, first find out the reason for the depressurization of the structure. Sometimes it is enough to adjust the window accessories to eliminate drafts and reduce heat loss. If the "native" rubber seal has dropped on the glass package, replace it with a new one. If the problem is the violation of the geometry of the window, it is better to refer to the specialists who in the shortest possible time will fulfill the necessary repairs.
