We update old wooden windows whether to change old wooden windows on metal -plastic ones, while spending without a small amount of money? After all, metal -plastic windows have not yet managed to prove their advantage. And high -quality wooden windows can serve up to a hundred years! The main condition is to update old wooden windows in a timely manner. What is needed for this? How to do it right? Working with wood is happy with a simple. In order to update old wooden windows, improve their moisture – and thermal insulation will take some time and costs. A few tools are needed. Of the materials, you need putty, glazing, cloves for graduates, paint, antiseptic or a primer for a deep penetration tree, a new paint of color you like for the upper layer. If there is a lot of old paint on the frame and it is not removed by a spatula, then you will have to pull the frame out of the window box. After that, you need to carefully remove the glass. Then, with the help of a building hair dryer and a spatula, you need to clean the paint. After that, go on sandpaper throughout the wood. So we remove the remains of paint and make the wood more smooth. For one, remove all rotten wood. If necessary, replace it with good wood inserts. At the next stage, you need to treat prepared stacks and a window frame with a special antiseptic or wooden primer. Before applying the second layer, cover all the irregularities with putty. Когда шпаклёвка высохнет, пройдитесь по ней нождачкой. After that, you can put the glass. There are two options for how to do it. The first is to glue the glass on a transparent silicone sealant. But in this case, if the glass breaks or bursts over time, then difficulties may arise when it is replaced. The second option is to go with a sealant around the perimeter of glass, filling all the cracks between the glass and the frame. I like the second option more. It is more practical. At the next stage, we put stacks. You can glue them with sealant for more waterproofing. But in this case, do not neglect ordinary cloves. Nit with cloves with cloves for reliability, so that the glass certainly does not fall anywhere and does not squeeze out. By the way, if the staff does not become tight due to the sealant, then adjust the glazing tapicker with a shirt. Then he will go into his place evenly and beautifully. Usually everyone is advised to only insert the frame and paint the window with the color, the color you have chosen. But I turn on another stage. Namely: gently smear the cracks between the glass, frame and stacking. You need to do this very carefully so as not to spoil the aesthetic appearance of irregularities on the glass. This will take a little more time, but the waterproofing will be better than that of a metal -plastic window. There is still a little further. Prepare the window frame in the same way, put the window in place and paint the color of the color you have chosen. All. The windows are ready.
