In a significant part of cities and regions, colds have come, for which not everyone is ready. We describe the methods of warming the apartment and the possibility of eliminating the causes of cold in the apartment. If you freeze during the heating season, it is likely that a significant portion of the heat goes outside. There are several ways to try to solve this problem.
We warm window frames
You will need to remove all the cracks. To do this, you need to change the usual frames for double-glazed windows. They do not necessarily require additional sealing and laying cracks, but they can rid the room of noise and give a decent appearance. A narrow gap is cut out in the window frame from which it is blowing, where a sealing material consisting of silicone rubber is firmly inserted with a specialized tool. This is a reliable way to save money. The budget option is to replace windows with cracks. We cover the holes in the window frames and the place where the frame has a common border with the wall, and then paint with oil paint. If there are too large gaps, it makes sense to use a mounting foam. To limit the penetration of cold air into the place where the glass is connected to the window binder, the best option is to block the gap with silicone sealant. You will need to remove the glazing bead and remove the glass, then add sealant to the frame and return the glass back. Then it is glued, and a high degree of impermeability is achieved. The final step in window insulation is sealing with a sealant. To do this, you should thoroughly wash and wipe with a special solution of the frame and wait for them to dry completely. It is recommended to fix the window frame after the seal has been completely glued.
We put a seal on the door
The wind from the cracks is one of the factors that stimulates to think about the insulation of the apartment. Some try to go the simple way by nailing a shaft or general coating to the front of the door. Most often, this method does not live up to expectations. The door-to-frame adjacency is at the same level, and the wind is still blowing. To reduce heat loss through the doorway, it is necessary to achieve such a result, thanks to which the door will be very close to the box. To solve this problem, you will need to choose a sealant, which is a different slot slats. Foam tape with adhesive layering have a sufficient degree of convenience for use. Perfectly used to close the gap of a tube made of plastic material. Sash profiles made of plastic are ideal elements for sealing the gap under the door. The effect of improving the compound can be achieved by treating it with an alcohol solution. The insulation product is attached after closing the door, at the moment when the brush evenly lies on the floor. It will help to keep warm and the presence of two entrance doors. If the dimensions allow, you can try to make an insulated area in the corridor.
And a couple of floor tips
Most people living on lower floors feel a drop in temperature in the house because of the floor. Many specialists use a cement screed to level the floor. If you intend to install a warm floor, be sure to check the presence of an inscription on the packaged solution that confirms the suitability for this work. As a rule, the floor of residents of prefabricated houses is very uneven, and for its correction and correction a considerable amount of special material is necessary, as a result of which the ceiling height can decrease by several tens of centimeters.To avoid this, it is proposed to use the technology of controlled floors. It is based on the use of lag-supports for flooring. Qualitative material for the manufacture of logs is wood or pine, which have sufficient strength and are not susceptible to moisture. To level the floor, it is necessary to raise or lower the logs at specific places with the help of stand-bolts, which are inserted into the logs and act as a regulator. The maximum effect for insulation is achieved if insulation is placed between the lags.
These simple measures will allow you to spend cold time in comfort and warmth, reduce the cost of additional heating and enjoy the comfort of your home in winter evenings.
