Specialists say that in any room heat loss through window openings can reach 70%.Of course, much depends on the materials( and finishing) of walls, floors and ceilings, but, nevertheless, it is the windows that must be given priority attention in this regard. Various designs, like the Manufacturers, are many.
The boom in demand for "plastic" has already passed - the people are "fed up" and wants the next promised "innovations".In recent years, a lot of talk is being conducted around new products - wooden windows with integrated double-glazed windows. Someone admires them, some do not like them, various arguments are given. And where is the "golden mean", which will give a more objective idea of such products? It is worthwhile to figure out what their feature is.
Environmentally friendly
As "plastic" and do not praise, and many noticed that many of the flowers in the pots, exposed on the windowsill, wither. This is a clear sign that the microclimate in the room is not normal. In this regard, wood has a huge advantage. Result:
- does not have to often ventilate the room, which in winter is not always an acceptable atmosphere;
- on the windows, the frame will not drop condensation, and on the windowsill to collect a puddle.
In addition, in a strong heat in rooms with plastic windows, there is always a faint smell of chemicals. Wood does not suffer from this "disease".
Flexibility
The technology of manufacturing wooden windows is no different from the production of glued beams. Similarly, thin lamellas of wood are glued together. Unlike traditional wooden frames, such products do not break with excessive force when opening / closing - they are somewhat "springy".At the same time, such designs are highly durable. Such a frame later time will not "walk" so that the glass will begin to shift.
Versatility in the application of
Wood perfectly matches with any building material, and this is hard to argue with. Consequently, such windows can be installed in any building, regardless of what it is built from. But you can not say anything about PVC products. It is not hard to imagine how, for example, a frame from a "roundabout" with plastic "eye sockets"( although this is not uncommon, as you can see) will look.
Maybe this is not particularly important, but there are fans who hang out on the window frames flowerpots with flower pots - indeed, it looks beautiful. And did somebody try to drive a nail( screw a screw) into plastic? Hold on? And if such an element of fasteners from a wooden frame will want to be removed, then it is not difficult to repair the hole.
Longevity
The technology provides a special temperature treatment of products. This achieves their strength, stability before dampness, fungus, insect-woodworm. Used paint and varnish compositions and the base itself do not crack under the influence of temperature and ultraviolet. Unlike the usual wooden frames, the annual removal of exfoliated particles and tint is not necessary to deal with - this is evidenced by numerous reviews of homeowners.
High maintainability
Who tried to eliminate scratches on the frames of PVC windows, this quality of wood products will be appreciated. To make a minor( or "cosmetic") repair of a wooden window is entirely within the power of any master.
Afterword and recommendations
The quality of the products depends to a large extent on the Manufacturer. Many of our products, in principle, are in no way inferior to foreign ones. But here the attitude to the very production of some manufacturers is still, unfortunately, remains "Soviet".In pursuit of profit, someone uses cheaper raw materials, someone changes the ratio of ingredients, the temperature regime and so on. But as a result, at the "exit" - not at all what is advertised. Bad paint - then there will be cracks. Poor-quality glue - there will be a specific smell in the room.
It should be taken into account that not all domestic manufacturers have fully mastered the new technology. Maybe they are serious about the matter, but experience is not enough.
Having decided to buy wooden windows with double-glazed windows, it is advisable to ask who they have already installed. It's these, not "in general."By the way, the bona fide Producer( Seller) himself will give examples so that the Buyer will once again make sure of the quality of the goods after seeing the buyers' feedback. On the contrary, it only suits his hand.
Any product, regardless of its purpose, has some specific features, including, in terms of maintenance( for example, frequency) or repair.
Purchasing wooden windows with double-glazed windows, you need to immediately find out all the nuances of care for them. Then do not have to say that they quickly become worthless.
Wood for making such windows is used differently - from budget options one should pay attention to pine and larch.
Wooden windows with double-glazed windows are made in different designs - you need to ask, from which metal profile is made, the tabs. It's better if it's aluminum.
The article does not specifically mention specific manufacturers. First, it will be direct advertising, and such articles, as a rule, do not cause trust. Secondly, the production of wooden frames with double-glazed windows is now engaged in so many firms that it is simply impossible to list all, and even sense.
It remains to add that the cost of the product from the "tree" exceeds the price of a similar plastic window by about 3 to 3.5 thousand rubles. Given the significant advantages, this is an acceptable fee for quality, durability( up to 50 years) and comfort.
