They put new good windows, And they show through around the hinges. Found a simple solution to the problem! But another question arose ...
Today in the heading #reader_experiences a channel subscriber will share his story BUILDER'S BLOG - Sergei. What to do with the windows from which it blows in certain places? There is an easy and budget way to solve the problem!
For several years my family and I lived in a rented apartment. And just recently they took out a mortgage and bought it back. All the time they were filming, I was very worried #window - from them such drafts blew, the feeling that you live with open windows! The windows were installed by the developer. Apparently not the best quality. The owners of the apartment did not consider this a problem, so they refused to resolve the issue. "If you don't like it, move out and look for another apartment!" Something like this.
Every year in the fall, I tried to seal the windows as much as possible with gaskets and sealants. This had to be repeated during the winter. Of course, all these senseless movements did not give me pleasure. But I didn't want to move to another place.
As a result, we bought this apartment. We decided to make repairs! And the first step is to order new windows. A friend advised me to be an excellent master who deals with windows and will definitely do everything at the highest level. I trusted and turned to his specialist.
The master arrived quickly at the agreed time. I was not even late) I took measurements. He promised that 7-10 days and will come to install. I ordered normal windows. One window is three-section, the other is for 5 sections with high-quality fittings and a profile.
Really, #master turned out to be good. A week later, he brought the windows. I did the editing myself. Installed two windows in about 7 hours. The slopes are flat. He removed the trash after himself. In general, I was pleased. Started checking the windows. The joints are missed, the window sill is installed exactly. It seems that everything is clear, tight, there are no cracks.
Then I feel it blowing in the area of the loops. And so - wherever there are loops.
The master assured that you just need to slightly adjust the modes. So to say, translate to winter time) I twisted it, pulled it up... Yes, indeed the windows were closed more tightly. But in the area of the loops, it still blew.
They realized that, most likely, this is a marriage. Rehau metal-plastic profile - German quality could not stand the Russian assembly. I don’t know who is the culprit for this. And I didn't know what to do with the windows either! The foreman paid for both the windows and the installation. He did his job perfectly.
The apartment has become much warmer.But there was still a shine through the hinges. And it haunted me! I started thinking and experimenting. From manipulating past windows, I still have a supply of sealant. So I decided to apply it.
I cut small pieces and began to stick to the places where the profile and the hinges were in contact. So, after making several attempts, I found the place from where the barrel was blowing. I fixed the seal and left it in this place. Now the windows fit as tightly as possible. There are no cracks, it doesn't blow from anywhere. The price of such a seal is about 150 rubles. You can buy it at any hardware or hardware store.
But after a while a friend asked me a question - maybe it was not a marriage?
Maybe such designs are specially made so that there are cracks? Type for ventilation! Indeed, due to such tight sealing in many houses with forced ventilation, there is a problem!
