Rules for installing windows in a wooden house.

The first thing you should decide on is the installation method. For newly built houses, they often try to use the installation method "in a quarter" - when in the wall material (timber, log) on ​​one side are cutrecesses (quarters), and a plastic window is mounted in them:

Second installation method - in the window. "Okosyachka" is a square box, which is knocked out of boards or timber and into which a plastic window is installed.

The main rule.
When choosing the second method of installation, the board or timber on the window should not be thinner than 50 mm, and the screws or nigels with which you will fasten the window to the window should not be pierced through it.

The general feature of installing windows in a wooden house is that due to the fact that the tree is warm #building material it makes no difference how to install the window: closer to the room or try to bring them outside.

In wooden houses, plastic windows do not sweat.

The most common mistakes in installing windows in a wooden house

The first mistake - savings on Psula. Psul is a self-expanding tape that should be attached along the contour outside window. After unpacking, the tape expands 5 times and closes all joints, but this does not negate the need to foam all the gaps.

The second error - people forget to treat the casing (okosyachka), window sill and stands under the frame with an antiseptic or at least whiteness for wood.

Error three - small slope of the window ebb. Remember: water begins to flow down the plane if its slope is at least 6 degrees, and in case of wind, it is ideal to make a slope from the window of 15-17 degrees.

Life hack (aka trick)

If the rain is heavy drumming on the tide in a wooden house on the next dry day, try to dismantle it and use ordinary foam to foam the area under it.

In the future, the foam will harden and "cushion" the impact of the drops on the tide, and you will get rid of the annoying sound of pouring water.
