Is it possible to install plastic windows in a wooden house?

Of course! Moreover, the installation of "plastic" instead of "wood" is more preferable: with them the house warms up by at least 10-15%. It's just that the installation of plastic windows in a wooden house has its own nuances.

• wood - breathable and movable material, which either decreases or increases in volume (especially on the south side), therefore the best way to install a window is okosyachka.
• for the same reason for the insulation of plastic windows will not fit the cheapest polyurethane foam. It is better to overpay 100-150 rubles more, but buy specialelastic foam - it "walks" with the tree and does not deform throughout the year.

• without departing from the foam questions, I will add that regardless of whether you bought expensive or cheap, all foam is equally afraid of ultraviolet radiation. I mean, sunlight. Therefore, the foam must be protected - covered with varnish, paint or a layer of plaster.

Good news for those who suddenly thought that installing plastic windows in a wooden house is a headache and nothing more!

In a wooden house plastic windows do not "cry", so you can install them flush with the outer edge of the wall, or recessed into the room - no difference.

And the last important nuance for today - I advise, in addition to the mounting foam, to stick the tape along the contour of the outer part of the frame PSUL.

Psul - it is a self-expanding adhesive tape that fills the seams, but at the same time is capable of passing moisture and "breathes" - prevents mold and mildew from starting up.
