Customer Reviews

I ordered window insulation using some of the latest Swedish technology.
We made small grooves on the sashes, installed a new rubber seal, straightened the sashes, coated them with sealant and changed the fittings to European ones. Now there is no blowing from the windows and the frame closes normally, otherwise before this they were afraid to even touch them. I give it an A for the work. Well done! They know how to do their job efficiently and on time, and most importantly for very little money! I wish there were more companies like this whose service is truly top notch! Thanks to the managers for their professional advice, and to the craftsmen for their golden hands!

In this company we restored wooden windows. The profile was good, it was a shame to throw it away and replace it with new ones. After a family meeting, we decided to try to restore them to their original appearance. We found a couple of companies on the Internet and looked at what was what. In the end, we chose the one that is located not far from us. I was very pleased with the result of the work.

How the windows are restored.

The number of operations depends on the initial state of the structure. A typical restoration of a wooden window is performed in the following order:

• We remove all layers of old paint and sand the surface to a perfectly smooth state;
• We prime and putty the frames;
• We cut the rubber seal along the contour of the sashes;
• We install fittings (locks, awnings, handles, bolts);
• We adjust the doors so that they open freely;
• We cover wooden surfaces with 2-3 layers of varnish or paint;
• We seal around the perimeter of the glass and frame.

During work, we take into account the type of wood, its properties - density, softness. We select tools and materials (primer, paint, varnish) that are suitable for a specific design.

Accuracy is another strong point of ours. We carefully prepare the work area: we cover furniture and textiles so that dust does not settle on them. You don't have to clean up after us - we'll do everything ourselves. You get updated windows and clean rooms.

How we are working

Working with slopes

Sealing the openings between the frame and the wall with mounting foam or Vilaterm is the right job, which will help insulate the window and eliminate drafts. But seal materials require protection. On the inside, plasterboard, plastic foam-filled slopes, ordinary PVC or wooden panels can be installed.

On the outside, it is necessary to plaster a layer of polyurethane foam and cover it with enamel, or, which is better, with a special moisture-resistant mastic.

If the work was done with Vilaterm, there is no need to trim it like foam. It is only necessary to cover the seam with the material with waterproofing mastic in 2 layers!

When repairs are needed

If the owners are attentive to the technical condition of their home, they will promptly notice the loss of sealing on a wooden window. As a result, drafts “walk” around the perimeter of the sash, blowing from it. In the cold season, fogging of transoms, leakage of the resulting liquid and its freezing are common occurrences. Later, sagging of the sash and its knocking appear, closing becomes difficult, often accompanied by creaking. The fittings may fail, especially if they were installed in Soviet times.

It can blow air not only from the window, but also from the windowsill. The reason for this is poor-quality sealing of the adjacent seam, which was a consequence of poor-quality installation.

The glass unit itself may lose its integrity: get cracks, chips, deep scratches. As a result, its geometry changes, and, consequently, its impeccability. The condition of the seals is of great importance: when they fail, the seal of the valves is not ensured and cracks form.

From their experience, our specialists are familiar with all possible problems with window structures. They are ready to quickly and professionally carry out diagnostics and outline a list of necessary work.

Additional recommendations

• Any cavities in old windows must be sealed using specialized materials. Rags and cotton wool are not suitable for this, as they accumulate moisture, due to which mold spreads and the process of rotting begins;
• Reinstallation of hinges whose fastenings have fallen out or become loose is done by moving them higher or lower by a few centimeters so that they can be attached to fresh wood without damage. There is no need to hammer in matches or toothpicks, sawdust with PVA glue. These methods give too ineffective and short-term results;
• When choosing a material for decorative and protective finishing of windows, pay attention not only to standard enamels and wood paints based on antiseptics, but also to such combinations as impregnation + oil, stain + varnish, drying oil + varnish and others. There are plenty of options;
• The seal for installation between frames and on sashes is selected individually. It is better to take samples at a retail outlet, try them on your window, and then purchase the required footage of sealing material;
• Major repairs of windows are carried out if their condition is poor. Further, every 3-4 years you can work only with impregnation and painting, sealing newly formed cracks with putty, replacing the seal, which will be enough!

Window repair: working with glass

• Broken glasses are replaced with new ones without the slightest regret;
• Chipped or cracked - defective material that is dangerous to work with. In addition, there are potential financial losses in the future. Therefore, it is better to replace them immediately;
• Glass in paint can be cleaned with a blade, a special chemical remover or solvent!

You cannot use a hair dryer. The glass may break. Work must be carried out using personal protective equipment - hard gloves, goggles and a petal!

Why is it worth saving old wooden windows?

There are several reasons:

• Opportunity to save a significant amount of money. There is no need to take out a loan or arrange an installment plan for new windows, or spend tens of thousands of rubles from the family budget. Undoubtedly, if such an opportunity exists, and old windows are practically beyond repair, you can take advantage of it;
• Possibility of modification, change of configuration and appearance of windows. The wooden parts of the frame and sashes are repairable. You can change the color, shade, general styling, easily replace glass, install interior decor, stained glass elements;
• The material for making windows is coniferous wood or harder and more expensive wood - ash, oak and others. All parts are heat-insulating and sound-insulating, durable, provided they are properly protected;
• Environmentally friendly products without synthetic additives that give off an odor or a negative background when heated in the sun in summer;
• The function of maintaining the indoor microclimate due to the hygroscopic properties and air exchange of wood!

You can always save yourself from the hassle of repairs, restoration, and window insulation. But this article is about preserving them, not replacing them, which is a radical alternative!

Advantages of window insulation using Swedish technology

• The usual operating mode of the window is maintained. Unlike windows insulated with foam rubber and sealed with paper or fabric on top, a window insulated using Swedish technology can be opened/closed at any time of the year;

• improving the performance characteristics of a wooden window. Swedish technology is not so much insulation as partial window restoration, because... during the repair process, parts are adjusted, fittings are checked, worn components are replaced, glass is sealed, etc.;

• the noise level and the amount of dust that penetrates through the window in the summer are reduced;

• low costs for consumables. When performing repairs yourself, all costs come down to purchasing a seal;

• execution of work at any time of the year. Due to the fact that the seal retains its properties over a wide range of temperatures, its installation can be carried out even in the cold season;

Note. It is better to carry out work at a temperature not lower than +5°C, because This is the lower limit for the sealant that is often used to additionally seal glass.

• environmental friendliness of insulation;

• the technology can be used to insulate metal-plastic windows;

• low cost of an insulated window compared to replacing it with a double-glazed window;

• no need for further insulation of the window;

• the properties of a wooden window are preserved: attractiveness, ability to ventilate, etc.;

• absence of condensation, which is typical for double-glazed windows installed in plastic windows. This is due to the fact that the glass in a standard wooden frame is located at a greater distance from each other than in a plastic window, which reduces the intensity of heat transfer.

Craftsmen who perform window repairs using Swedish technology claim that it is very difficult to do the work yourself. As an argument, the need to possess professional skills and tools is voiced. But, as reviews indicate, repairs can be done on your own.

This means that it is quite possible to implement Swedish window insulation with your own hands. The main thing is to choose a high-quality seal and have an idea of ​​the procedure for performing the work.

Preparing wooden windows for repair

The work is carried out sequentially so as not to lose track of the algorithm and not get confused in the fittings - handles, hinges. They are standard, but it often happens that if you rearrange the handles and locks, they will no longer close. In this case, it is quite difficult to find the cause of the problem!

Having removed the window and sashes, you need to support them on the walls, support them with your foot to stabilize the position, and begin dismantling the glass. It is removed after removing the beads. And they, in turn, should be carefully dismantled with a screwdriver or chisel.

Removable glass can be marked with a marker so that it can be installed in the frame in the reverse order without any problems.

Before reinstallation, you need to store the glass in a safe place, placing it at an angle and resting it against the wall or on the floor with a heavy object!

The last stage of preparation before moving on to the main work is dismantling the fittings. Steel elements can be picked out with a chisel; to remove, use a screwdriver to unscrew the bolts and screws!
