Thanks to this, you can insert wooden windows on your own, without outside help and the advice of professionals. But do not forget that only the right installation in the future will give positive feelings and emotions from the use of wooden windows. So you need to approach this matter responsibly, wisely and strictly adhering to every point on installing wooden windows.

How to insert wooden windows?

In order to qualitatively go through the entire installation process and the result does not disappoint, you should adhere to certain rules by points:

1. in order to insert wooden windows it is necessary to prepare an opening for them;
2. after this follows the installation of the window into the opening itself;
3. the next step will be to fix the window box in the opening;
4. take care of insulation around the entire window box;
5. understand and debug closing and opening mechanisms;
6. the last item is the final decoration of the installed window.

When preparing the window opening, it should be remembered that it should be 1-2 cm larger than the window box on the sides, as well as 5-6 cm from the bottom. This is necessary in order to smooth out defects made at the factory. After the aperture is prepared, the installation of a window block follows. It should stand strictly vertically. This is determined using a plumb line and level. Skewing is simply unacceptable, as this will affect the opening and closing of the window. Now you need to fix the window box in the opening, for this you can use wooden wedges. They perfectly fix the window, if you place them at the corners of the opening.

The next and very important point of the rules on how to correctly insert wooden windows is the insulation and insulation of the window. The most common and often used material for insulation and insulation for self-installation of wooden windows is ready-made foam. It penetrates perfectly into all remaining spaces, which allows you to insulate the window very high quality around the entire perimeter. You can also close the gaps between the opening and the window frame with felt or tow, having previously treated it with anti-putrefactive composition. Now with a screwdriver you need to debug and lubricate all the mechanisms of the window, handles, hinges so that everything works without any glitches. Handles easily turned, opening and closing a window. The flaps swung open to the end, not clinging to anything. And the final step is the final decoration of the window from the inside and outside. From the outside, you can patch up the remaining bumps with mastic, and on top with a cement mortar, this is the most optimal and inexpensive option. It is enough to seal the windows with plaster from the inside.

Insert a window into a wooden house

I would also like to focus on the installation of a window in a wooden house, since such a house after construction has been subject to shrinkage for several years. That is, the wood dries out, the openings are significantly reduced compared to the original dimensions.

To do this, a “pigtail” was invented - a frame made of dry wood, in the vertical bars of which there are grooves of 5 by 4 cm. In turn, there should be spikes on the logs of the window opening from the end, which should coincide with the grooves of the “pigtail”. It is thanks to these spikes that the fastening occurs. From above, it is necessary to leave a gap of about 5-10 cm, and, until the shrinkage of the structure is over, fill it with a soft insulation. Adhering to all of the above, you can easily and accurately insert a window into a wooden house without much difficulty.

Any purchased wooden window will definitely come with factory instructions for installation and care during operation. If you adhere to all points of this article, as well as factory instructions, wooden windows will serve for the benefit of your home for a very long time. And all this time it will be accompanied only by positive emotions, which in turn has a good effect on the residents of the house.
