Wooden euro-windows with their hands.

The first association, which occurs when referring evrookon - single-chamber or dual-chamber design PVC white. It is these windows are in the majority of apartments and private homes, replacing outdated frame construction. Alternative to plastic windows, wooden conceding on sustainability, but gains in performance - Euro windows in wood. They have options and impressive, and look at the level and with the environment they are "friends." Unlike plastic, wood window box with a proud prefix "euro" can be done independently. Windows made of wood with their hands - a common thing for many users FORUMHOUSE.

Eurowindow - what it is and how it's done

Eurowindow - construction consisting of a frame and glazing perimeter accessories driven handle.

Peripheral accessories - a team tying completed from several parts mounted around the perimeter of the profile. It provides a sash at several points by a single knob, which allows for maximum snug fit and eliminates blowing. Through this window fittings having an openable flap, can operate in two modes - the rotary and swing-folding. When turning window opened by turning the mode only when combined - casement opens and folds.

The fundamental design difference between the "euro" by conventional windows - this is one frame, which can be several double-glazed windows. Home of the technical characteristics of "euro" - complete tightness is achieved through a variety of seals. The thermal conductivity of the same will depend on the number of air chambers, and on the type of glass in the pane, and the correctness of the window assembly. Therefore, the material of which the profile is made, does not play a role important functional structure and its characteristics.

Eurowindows: with their hands from a tree 

The process of manufacturing of wooden euro windows require some financial investment - for wood costs, components and equipment. Window glazing is also easier to order from professionals, although some craftsmen and the node manage to collect yourself. But also taking into account the impressive value of the finished product, belonging to the elite, and therefore quite expensive products, the savings will be solid. If we are talking about how to build a new house or a complete glazing of the old, the difference may amount to tens of thousands.

The windows with their hands: step by step guide

The windows are constantly exposed to external shocks, and the difference in temperature inside and outside, which inevitably leads to a change in geometry of the structure when it comes to wood. To minimize the possible distortion, frame and sash are made not from a single timber, and from glued. You can buy a ready, if there is a reliable supplier, and can be glued on their own. In the second case dialed preform of at least three sipes so that the fibers are oriented in opposite directions. If possible, choose the radial sawing wood, tangential "is" stronger. For gluing use special, moisture resistant formulation.

The cross section of the beam is selected, based on the amount of insulating glass - for a window with a single chamber timber typically use 6 x 4 cm. The production conditions in the frame of slots is selected not only under the external glazing, and seals, but also under internal. One of the former manufacturers of wooden evrookoon shared his drawings, which can be simplified to obtain high-quality design, almost no rivals ready. In order to make window with his hands, Drawing it.

Given that the professional equipment is not at everyone, and its purchase would negate the whole economy and justified only with a view to the manufacture of windows for sale, home wizard choose grooves under the windows, and outer seal accessories.

Used for this purpose trimmer, circular saw, hand tools for finishing. Members of our portal are equipped with all necessary appliances and Ravildon decided to make a box with his brother (Halvastarshy nickname) for his house.

Ravildon (Member FORUMHOUSE):

We had hand tools, Machines and other appliances. Cooked table of adapting to it hand-mill, bought microspikes cutter and a movable carriage, decided to gain profile in the length and thickness. Purchase profile is worth 1600 rubles for six meters, so we'll be ready to trim lumber, glue it and then typing in thickness.

Halvastarshy (Member FORUMHOUSE):

Here's a pepelats did: lying around my guides with carriages, welded frame on sliding table attached manual circular saw, to get a simple impostnik. Rectangular grooves, so you can do without the shaped cutters. Depth of incision is adjustable movable abutment height - a set of plates and rectangular tubes. Cut a groove in five passes, changing pads, I brought the file.

Trained brothers on waste, the results are recorded in the log to later choose the best option. What got the hand, we started to manufacture the frames themselves.

Another advantage of our forumchanin ready laminated veneer lumber. Detail photo show this whole big process.

cyan__ (Member FORUMHOUSE):

Bought beam passed through the marking gauge and trim, with the circular saw to adapt homemade (high rip fence to guide and rulers of 0.5 mm) made spikes and profile glued, Fraser chosen fitting grooves hung fittings - checked as running, removed, polished under painting. No special tricks, but it is necessary to have experience or carpentry work, or do first few frames on the release - to practice.

Since glazing scheduled double chamber, the total beam cross section turned 80 x 78 mm.

If you allow the equipment and expertise, the frame members are cut diagonally, at an angle 45⁰, and can be joined without the bevel, so at least and less decorative, but is technically easier. Details are going to connect tongue and groove, the vertical parts - eyes, and the horizontal - spikes. Single compound easier to manufacture, but more than double a strong and durable as it increases the bonding area, yet stronger -troynoy spike. When a spike, it is necessary to further strengthen the frame area, as glazing significantly weigh down the structure.

Member of our portal cyan__ tells how to make a wooden box, using a mix of three spines.

cyan__:

Statement made three spike and planted in the D4 PU adhesive glue on the other, and one spike under glazing, I would put perhaps area. As a test of one corner can be glued together and to test its strength and deformation loaded the weight of the hypotenuse in a half glass. Then it will become clear whether the additional amplification needed.

Templates from the corner

Halvastarshy gained a box of two slats, to make it easier to choose and quarter slots for sealing a circular saw. Dried lumber required thickness, or array, or glued, on sale at that time was not had to manage with a smaller cross section material. But the bar has got dry, already fugovannoj from all sides. Glued frame on a smooth fugue due to lack of suitable comb width. To insure construction was reinforced with screws - diagonally, from the edge to the center (head fasteners in the future disappear quarter). After the final purge pneumatics finished frame were given to perfecting the eldest son - on putty

Windows, manufactured industrially, are no better than the so-called window with his hands - the photo confirms.

Slots for fittings in the wings are chosen based on its variety and size. To simplify your work, Halvastarshy made of metal patterns, which chose all the necessary grooves, here are steps for this phase of work:

Halvastarshy (Member FORUMHOUSE):

Before cutting the tongue and groove, I prepared grooves for locks - made a pattern of bent steel angle. Openings - 8 mm diameter hole under the wrapping - 10 mm diameter. First centers markup, then drill 8 holes - depth of 26 mm. And manual focus exhibited a router combined openings in the groove dimensions: depth of 28 mm, width of 8 mm. Done without constraints on the length - the slot boundaries are felt to the touch.

All instructions are recommended to remove the chamfer on the joints, it enhances the appearance of the frames, as the minimum mismatch hiding interface elements.

Broken or rounded corner covered by a thicker layer of paint materials than acute, thus, more resistant to all external influences. Validating Suhov76, do yourself a wooden box, advises his own way.

Suhov76 (Member FORUMHOUSE):

Instead chamfers at 45⁰, better to round a corner radius of 3 mm - and aesthetic look under the paint is good. Paints and Coatings "fear" sharp edges, according to the law of surface tension, sharp surfaces on the layer thinner coatings, and according to the law meanness, it is the edge - the most vulnerable to exploitation, and the coating wears faster at the radius of the smooth layer and damage it heavier.

Assembled window frame and sash are sanded and treated with special impregnation, after varnished or painted. For each subsequent layer went well and stayed long, all the formulations used have to be on the same basis, of water, etc. The glass in the frame secured with glazing beads.

Not only do the window with his hands - the video on our website to teach his correct color, to protect the surface for years to come!

To the second floor of his house cyan__ I made wood windows also himself, for already given technology. After the blanks were cut, and the grooves are selected finger joints, holes and frame fittings were collected remained final part - finishing and installation of glass.

cyan__:

Prime and paint the outside of the white side. Then, removing sanding paint drip on masking tape in a couple of places - inside translucent. Stain - not paint it with white side, if that easily wipe with a wet cloth. I set the glass on the remote lining and nailed beadings - mednony nail through exactly ten cm looks good. Lead neutral (important) silicone sealant acid can destroy the package. Turned on the foam sheet and sealed opposite direction, mounted fittings, mounting plate and inserted into the aperture. The final stage, and adjusted the sash seals inserted into the slots.

Custom wooden box with his hands - this is an opportunity not only to save, but also shine. For many years a beautiful, eco-friendly design will remind not about money spent, but about their own skills.
