Plastic window blows from below — reasons and what to do

Why does the cold come from under the shutters even when the window is closed?

You close the window, and the cold still comes down, and in the winter, there's another one on the window, and at night, there's a water pitch.

In 90% of cases, it's.Not a glass packIt's a lack of pressure at the bottom of the sling or a problem with the sewing under the frame.

Let's get it in order and get it right at the price.

No. 1 reason: No downward squeeze

You close the window, it's kind of tight, but if you raise your hand to the bottom of the window, you can feel the air moving.

The perimeter of the lattice should be locking points, which are inserted into the backing planks on the frame and pull the lattice.

Why don't manufacturers put pressure down?

One chip plus the answering board costs a penny, but a 10,000-window batch is a significant saving.

They refer to the "recommendations of the furniture manufacturer" but the recommendations are not GOST's.

The bottom of the empty slit is not pressed, the cold is freezing, and even the narrow slit is pressed.

Cause No. 2 - Low-quality sewing under the frame

If the furniture is fine, there are the chaps, there is the clamps, and the window sill is still blowing — the problem is the sewing under the frame.

When you install a window, the space between the frame and the wall is filled with foam. If the foam is small, it is old or it hasn't filled all the voids. Cold air from the street goes under the window, and from there into the room. It feels like it's going from below.

How do you know what the reason is for having two tests?

Test 1 — on the shutter

1Close the window.

2 of theTake a sheet of paper A4, press between the sling and the frame at the bottom.

3 of theTry pulling it out.

It's pulling out without effort.There's no pressure on the bottom.

✓ Pulling with effort— there's a pressure. Look for the reason in the sewing machine.

Test 2 — for the mounting shoe

In winter, put your hand under the window from the inside — in the gap between the window and the wall. Can you feel the cold air flow?— problem with the sewing under the frame.

How much do I charge it — and how much does it cost

The questions I get asked most often

— Why didn't the manufacturer put the pressure down right away?

The manufacturer knows that the recommendations allow for a minimum and uses that.

Can I add the throttle myself?

Technically yes, but you need the right slipper under your furniture, a countertop and the ability to remove the shutter without damage.

— If you replace the whole furniture — is that reliable?

Yes, the new furniture is already full of presses including the bottom, the Roto, Siegenia, Maco or similar, and it'll last 10 and 15 years.

— Why do it on the outside if you can do it on the inside?

It's faster, cleaner and cheaper outside, you don't have to remove the scratches, tear the window sill, glue the walls.

Don't put up with the whole thing.It's not just discomfort; one crack at the bottom of the shutter increases heat consumption by 10 percent in winter.

From the practice of a master

It's a real case.

The client complained, "The window is new, it was installed a year ago, and the bottom is blown". The firm said, "It's okay, it's condensate".

I looked at the furniture, the bottom part is not there, I set up an extra part and a counter, adjusted the pressure.

The price is 120 rubles, the box is gone.And the firm said we should put a new window.She said.
