What should be the ideal wood windows? The answer to this question depends primarily on the technology of their manufacture.

Production of wooden boxes made from wood species such as spruce, pine, oak, larch and some others. This window can be made as solid wood, and from multi-laminated board. What is the difference between these two technologies?

Wood, like any other living material, over the years, "aging", that is covered with cracked, flaked, and sink. That is why the wooden frame of the array to insert windows does not make sense - do not take place and ten years, as the tightness of the window construction will be disrupted.

If, however, for the production of windows made of wood planks from the use of glued laminated timber, this unfortunate pattern will be excluded. A similar effect is achieved by combining a certain angle of annual rings on the profile for the manufacture of boards. The result of such a simple action of the resistance of fibers, in other words, the board just beginning to prop up each other.

If the production of such boards was used a high-quality adhesive, the product of multi-layer timber become almost not control the flow of time, not rasslaivayas and without deformation even after many years. The glue used in the manufacture of wooden boards for windows (such boards are called lamellae), penetrates deeply into the structure of wood, tightly fastening parts. Actually, this semi-finished products of wood windows are required to attend the control of resistance to stress, so if you decide to opt for wooden windows made of laminated timber, you can be sure: their reliability will not fail.

The durability of wooden windows also largely determined by the quality of wood drying. The moisture content of wood, suitable for the manufacture of laminated veneer lumber, should be no more than 12%. Losing moisture during drying, the wooden planks "shrink", significantly reduced in size, so the raw material for sawing slats exercise only after the end of the drying process.

Another requirement for Plastic window from a tree - the presence of high performance for heat and sound insulation. This is achieved, inter alia, by careful sealing of all gaps between the frames and wall openings with special seals from compression tape, polyurethane cords and mineral wool, as well as through the use of foam.

Basic requirements for the design of joints of windows include a thorough vapor barrier seams not only from the weather and temperature influences outside the house, but also from the penetration of moisture from the premises. Rainwater and condensate should freely and fully play out, not coming into contact with wooden frames.

For fastening of wood windows is recommended to use the building anchors and mounting screws, but in no case sealers, adhesives or common nails.

Another condition is long and reliable service of wooden windows - the compulsory treatment of wood with different chemical compositions. This processing is performed in three phases. The first of these wooden windows are covered impregnations, which give them water-repellent properties, protecting against the formation of mold and fungus. Then the product is applied primer, providing high-quality clutch finishes with the surface of the frame. And finally, the third stage of products are painted with modern paint materials, which not only allows you to make a wooden windows of various shades, but also regulate the moisture level of wood and give it Bioprotective properties.

Finally, when choosing a wooden eurowindows sure to pay attention, whether on the surface of the window frame knots and resin pockets. This is unacceptable, just as the presence of water stains or paints fixing glazing beads to the leaf with nails. Quality used fixtures must be confirmed by a special certificate - in fact you should be sure there is no problem with opening and closing valves, even if you were to open wide the window several times a day.
