How to insulate the windows
Winter came, and you never managed to replace your old windows with metal -plastic. But is it worth it to be upset — after all, you can think about warming your windows, even having carried out a small repair of the room in a residential apartment. One of the oldest ways is to push the finely chopped strips with a wet newspaper, and then glue it with paper. This measure will help to achieve a good sufficiently sealing windows, but it has its shortcomings. During the winter, all this paper will shine tightly, so in the spring you will have to make great efforts to tear it off. To less catastrophic consequences, insulation will lead to a cotton or foam rubber, which can be sealed with strips of fabric cut from the old sheet. These strips should be cut no more than five cm wide., and then wet, squeeze and grease densely with soap. This fabric will be easy to remove in the spring, besides, it does not turn yellow and throughout the winter it retains a decent look. You can also use the usual paraffin, which is heated in a water bath to a temperature of 60 — 70C, and then injected into all the cracks using a one -time syringe. Often used as insulation and ordinary linen cord. We also recommend replacing the old stacks to achieve better tightness. In addition to all these insulation measures, you can also force the battery to give more heat. To do this, remove the old paint and replace the radiator in any dark color. This simple measure will increase the heat transfer by 5 — 10%. In addition, you can take a sheet of plywood, paint it silver and place for the battery. And, instead of heating the walls of the apartment in vain, the battery will direct all the heat inside the room. There are also professional gaskets — insulation that differ not only in size, but also in the material from which they consist. You can purchase them at any construction store, or by asking for a construction team, though this may affect the repair of apartments prices.
