Box from different sides

Stanislav Freed Production and installation of window designs - an independent and highly significant segment of the construction market. Proposals in this market are many, from a variety of designs dazzled, and so it makes sense to do the systematization of modern windows so we have "box" country house, while a gaping empty doorways. What put the windows? How not to miscalculate, to find the optimum combination of durability, reliability and price? Definite answer is impossible, but perhaps that can provide food for thought. In recent years, to the countryside (and urban too) Market triumphantly marching His Majesty the PVC. Strides in many respects rightly so, because the window of this material combines the advantages of metal construction and plastic are good in many respects. Plastic is resistant to moisture, low temperatures, it does not tarnish with time, does not require regular painting and caring for them is minimal. Inside Profile of plastic, which imparts the window to be presentable, hid metal frame construction ensures durability. And as a translucent glazing elements are used, usually two-chamber. Findings in these windows you can open a window in the usual way and tossing it to himself. In addition, a number of window designs has a mode mikroprovetrivaniya. Device for mikroprovetrivaniya to compensate one of the drawbacks of such windows. The fact that plastic windows are sealed, and in rooms with zadraennymi "hatches" on the glass appears condensate, and people with lung diseases begin to suffocate. It also happens that the profile after some time "leads." Often, wintered a few times, the window starts to deform. What is there to recommend? Should pay attention to brand manufacturers: the design of profiles of famous brands is that the linear change of metallic elements under the influence of temperature do not affect the size of the window. And, of course, we must ensure that the quality installers installed windows, as many of the problems lie exactly in the poor-quality installation. Another option - set in a country house wooden windows. This kind of windows when you live in nature, suggests itself. The more so because modern wooden windows are very different from the "wood" that was placed in the window openings in the Soviet era. For those holiday tree took windows junk, pressed glass bead, and therefore fresh breeze easily penetrated such Nemudrenye design. Again, such a window, swelling from moisture, distort, ceased to be open-close - in general, a homeowner brought a lot of worries. Modern window of wood made of three-layer laminated veneer lumber. This material compensates for the internal stress, so the window of it does not deform under the influence of external factors. After soaking, priming and painting clean and resistant to aggressive media compositions obtained by frame, which, when proper care can last several decades without a serious overhaul. As for glasses, then a bead and other things primitive to forget. Modern wooden box with the same success as the Metal may be equipped with double glazing - as a single-chamber and double chamber. Sealing is also very reliable, so that the protection against drafts, guaranteed. One of the advantages of the tree in front of plastic - easy to repair. The damaged part of the wooden frame easily replaced with a new piece, while plastic can be changed only in its entirety, but it's expensive. Inside of cheap metal-frame is metal, which expands and contracts with temperature changes. Often in our region, temperature differences do have consequences for the windows. Thermal conductivity of wood, again, is lower than metal and plastic, which is also important. Through window openings go, according to experts, up to 50% of the heat, so any "cold bridges" highly undesirable. Finally, the tree - a natural material, which is also a plus in terms of life in nature. However, no matter what design tweaks are not applied, the fundamental flaws of the tree still persists. Natural material with time still gaining moisture, there is a danger of mildew on frames, etc. In order to avoid problems of timber windows from time to time be tint. Now on the market there are paints that do not peel, but only slightly blurred. Their life (ie the time from one painting to another) is ten years, so it can be a very long time without having to worry about the safety of windows. Another must mention is the quality of wood as flammability. Fire, of course, does not spare any plastic or metal, but wooden structures still most fire risks. Another type of windows should be mentioned that the tree is combined with aluminum. Outside, a wooden frame set aluminum profile, which protects the wood from weather and mechanical effects. This window has a higher strength, it is guaranteed to be protected against all strains, and the stain it has to be much less. As for aesthetics, then in a wooden house, it certainly looks bad. Metal windows "full face" is best combined with siding, artificial stone, etc. However, if the interior wooden houses, then this window will be in harmony with the interior. Tradition and modernity Now let's talk about the pros and cons of conventional glasses and glass. It would seem that the advantages of glass are clear: this glass constructions of the last generation in every way superior to ordinary window glass, and in the first place - by teplosberezheniya. Steplopaket sealed, it is more reliably protects the interior of the house from the adverse effects of the atmosphere, and this requires approval of a comparative analysis seems to be complete. Will not, however, in a hurry. If in an urban setting common window glass windows is clearly inferior, in suburban conditions, this superiority is not so obvious. It is possible that your country house - a cottage for a seasonal residence, and during the autumn winds and winter cold you are there is not going to be. That is, you do not really care about the problem of conservation of heat in the house, and are happy with windows that contain the usual windows. If so, then you have saved a lot of money, because (let's not forget!) The cost of ordinary window glass and triple-pane windows - is, as they say, heaven and earth. If, however, to preserve the heat is still very desirable, you can take advantage of modern technology, which will seriously reduce heat your home. Can be set in frames of special energy-saving glass, manufactured to the surface of sputtered silver atoms. As a result, the thermophysical properties of glass change, and it allows you to keep the heat in the room much better than usual. In this case, however, must pay special attention to the tightness of the entire window structure, otherwise the effect of the use of energy-saving glass to be called "dead poultices. That is, in the presence of drafts through the gaping cracks, you can use all sorts of glass, but heat will still go into the atmosphere. But even if the seal is all right, all this does not solve the problem. The fact is that on hot sunny days the room with the windows can overheat, which is also good. Therefore, some glass (for instance, facing south) operates in a sun-form - in this case of the solar energy will be reflected, and the premise, therefore, be protected from overheating. In general, do not necessarily spend a lot of money and the rush to establish a garden house doroguschy windows. Not be ruled out that well-chosen and installed conventional glass solve most problems. Kitchens and roofs usual facade window well all know, and in general, is standard for all types of premises cottage. Several different windows in non-residential premises, where the hosts for the sake of economy, often set single-chamber windows. Differ from the average may also be the kitchen window, where it is known, heat and fumes, and therefore special requirements to ensure the flow of fresh air. To ensure that this influx, the kitchen windows are building special vents, which, on the one hand, allow ventilate the room, where the working stove and oven, on the other - eliminates a nasty thing as a draft. Built-in vent valve may be located at the top of the window box. Air flow in a valve regulated by a special mechanism, and the filter installed in it, do not miss a large dust poplar fluff and insects. Additional rubber seal on the outer side of the window provides a good tight seal valve and the window that will eliminate drafts. In addition, the design of such valves provides additional insulation, since it is involved, usually in the freezing time (in the heat box and so you can open a wide open). At the same valve design eliminates the appearance of condensation between the door and a window box that extends the life of the window. If we talk about the capacity of these valves, it can be different: and 10 cubic meters per hour, and 40 cubic meters - depending on the type of valve. However, such valves may be installed not only in the kitchens. For reasons already mentioned increased tightness of metal windows with double glazing doctors recommend to embed all these window vents with replaceable filter elements. It makes sense to fit such valves and dormer windows, which will be discussed further. This is also a special type of Windows, which is installed in residential attics. Perhaps this is the most romantic type of windows, because through them a view of the starry sky, the birds of the sky that fly over the roof of your house, bent on crown. But to see all these wonderful things, and most importantly - be able to easily open the doors, should apply here is not trivial facade, and the special design of roof windows. Unlike regular windows, which, if left or right opening recorded by themselves in the attic window, requires specific mechanisms of fixation. That is, swing-out devices and accessories are in this case, a special performance. Install such windows can be virtually any roofing: the flat profile or high profile. Windows can be installed on the rafters, and on the crate. In this case, the deeper the skylight is installed in the roof, the better, because deep planting reduces heat loss, as well as a more reliable waterproofing window. Finally, it should be said about the latest developments in the window region associated with the use of electronics and automation. Currently designed and displayed on special market mechanisms opening windows, and in different areas and at different levels at home. This is done remotely, via motor drives, and if everything is thought out properly, the natural flow of air through one window and the natural outflow through the other in a short time almost completely refresh the atmosphere in a country house. Of course, such arrangements are worth the money, but if you compare these costs with investments in the device of forced supply and exhaust ventilation, then the payoff will be evident.
