In order to keep in the room heat, there is a method of insulation of windows in Swedish technology. Such technology allows from a conventional wooden window to obtain an analogue of plastic action. Moreover, the cost of working on the warming of wooden windows will be significantly lower than the installation of new metal-plastic windows.
What is the advantage

What does warp in Swedish mean
Swedish technology insulation technology is performed using a special material that is manufactured in Sweden. The material is a tubular seal, which is made of rubber with silicone adding.
Swedish manufacturers argue that the seal is not exposed to paint, not afraid of dirt and temperature drops. Serves such material fifteen to twenty years.
Experts who perform the Swedish wind insulation, note that the seal cannot be installed on the window frame on their own, since it is necessary to have skills and a special tool.
In two words, insulation technology is impossible. General words can be said that the insulation of windows is happening: a special tool in the window frame is made of a removal in which the seal is inserted and pressed and pressed.
How does winding insulation
In the northern regions of Russia, the technology of Swedish wind insulation is used in almost every home where wooden windows are installed. This reduces the cost of paying heating, as well as get rid of moisture, frost and even sunlight.
The first rule when insulating windows in the Swedish system - wooden frames must be integer. If your frames have rotten areas, then no specialist will be taken for work. As a last resort, to replace the damaged area, you will have to pay a considerable amount.
Check whether your window can be suitable as follows:
- survey the lower element of the box and sash is the place where the moisture flows during condensate from the glasses. Cold these places. If you have found damage - they can be treated with a putty on a tree and paint paint;
- check the loops, and also calculate the number of part-in locations. Make sure the sash does not savage, and the loops do not stick. If you find that the loop "go to the walker", then for replacing the loops will have to additionally pay;
- view windows on the gaps and breaks. Please note how the sash is fastened - if the screw, then correct the defect will not work.
If, after checking, you made sure that your window is not rotten and strong, you can invite specialists and specify the cost of work.
How to insulate windows in the Swedish system:
- At the first stage of insulation, it is necessary to pay attention to the old windows. If there are cracked windows - they must be replaced with new ones. If you can not do it yourself, then invite a specialist who will perform the necessary measurements and install the glass.
- The employee will make an additional layer of insulation and hermetically fix it. Works should cover the entire sash area. If your accessories work normally, it will allow you to get a tight clamp.
- Now it is necessary to pay attention to the slits. The biggest holes are between the sash and the frame. To eliminate the slots, you can adjust the clamp, but sometimes it is not enough. In this case, the master will perform a seal of the joint and the frame of the sealant or change the old strokes on new ones.
- Now it came a turn of installation of the insulation. This is a distinctive moment of Swedish technology insulation windows. With the help of a special tool in a wooden frame, a hole (groove) is made in which the seal is inserted. Thus, slots are eliminated in the window frame and sash. Due to the fact that the sealant is made of high-quality rubber with the addition of silicone, it does not lose its elasticity over the years.
To make it easier to make a groove in the sash, you must remove it from the loops and take it out on the staircase or on the street. The corner of the groove should be forty-five degrees. Make sure that the specialists read the surface and removed the wooden chips from the groove.
When installing the seal, employees apply the pressing method. This is an integral requirement of technology insulation windows in the Swedish system. The rubber rope, made of the Euro-strip material, should not just be inserted, glued or nailed to the tree, namely pressed the roller. If the technology has not been observed, then the seal will last in the groove not long, because the iron brackets can quickly rust, and the seal-glued to adhesive will become non-elastic.
A real tubular seal withstands temperature fluctuations ranging from minus fifty to plus eighty degrees Celsius. An ordinary seal that can be bought in construction stores will not suit, because it will serve only one, a maximum of two seasons.
Perform repair windows with a Swedish insulation becomes simple, because it is produced in several sizes: five, six, eight, ten and twelve centimeters. It is very convenient because for each slit you can find the desired sealer size. Due to this, a complete tightness of the sash is achieved.
About cost
Swedish wind insulation technology has a considerable price. So, fitting and insulation of the standard window (sizes of one and a half meters per meter twenty centimeters) will cost about three to three and a half thousand rubles. Also, this cost includes the execution of the excavation around the perimeter and the installation of the seal, as well as the increase in glass with a sealant (if necessary).
If you need to replace the fittings or repair it, you will have to pay for the work and the cost of materials additionally. This applies to the full repair of the window box.
If your windows are installed in "Stalinki", then surely they have separate bounds (Stalinist). In this case, you will make insulation only on internal flaps, and there will be no exterior to touch. If you wish that the insulation is present and outside, it will have to additionally pay extra for it.
Some firms offer services for painting windows. But these works you will be quite able to do yourself.
As a result, for the restoration of its old, eco-friendly wooden window, you pay about ten thousand, while a new metal-plastic window can be purchased for fifteen. Savings are present, especially if there are three-five old windows in your apartment.
