How to choose wooden windows? How to choose the right company? Answer in this article!

This article is based entirely on real events.

I'll start with personal experience. In 2008 My grandmother decided to replace the old windows in her house. I decided to order PVC windows (well, like all neighbors). I tried to persuade her for a long time and persuaded me to order a wooden Eurowindows. At that time I had an acquaintance with the manufacturer of this product, which allowed me to order a tree for the price of pvc. But the granny flatly refused my offer.

And here after 2 months after this story, I come to visit her. I ask, "how are the windows?" She almost burst into tears. Five of the seven windows were defective, more accurately the double-glazed windows were sweating. Inside was condensation. The firm in which she ordered the windows gave a guarantee of 5 years. But nobody seemed to like the phones, but they did not have an office at all.

I replaced the steklopackets at my own expense, but a year later the frame led and yellow plastic. In the winter, the barrel from where it was possible, granny began to freeze. It's just awful!

As a result, in the spring, we supplied her with wooden windows with a double-glazed window made of pine, with a double-glazed double-glazed window. Granny was just happy and still no problems! I'm not saying that PVC windows are bad. Simply, there are quality plastic windows, and there is artisan production in the hangar. But the elite pvc windows are also wooden.

Here are some tips on how to choose a wooden window:

1. Call the company, calculate the euro window from wood. If the price suits you, then be sure to pay a visit to the office. Communicate with the manager.

2. The departure zamerschika in all normal firms is free. Or the value is deducted from the contract amount.

3. After the measurement, you can conclude a contract. Carefully read the documents, then you can sign it.

As a rule, prepayment for the order of wooden windows is from 50 to 80%. Pay the rest, only after installing the windows.

Carefully inspect the wooden double-glazed windows when they are delivered. On wooden windows you can often find scratches, chips, etc. At speed, as they say it does not affect, but you can get a discount.

Key questions to the manager by phone, how to choose wooden windows:

Are you a manufacturer or dealer?

-What profile do you use 68 or 78?

-Where do you have wood?

What kind of accessories, manufacturer?

-montage by guest or by those. conditions?

How long have you been in the market?

-Where can I see your work?

-What kind of product warranty?

-actions and discounts

There are very untwisted websites selling wooden windows, but the quality of products leaves much to be desired. When selecting a window, pay attention to the following:

1. The connection of the frame and the leaf must be "spike in the thorn", this is the most robust and reliable method. Many manufacturers use the technology "dovetail" at 45 degrees. In my opinion this is not a good option.

2. The sealant should be not rubber, but polypropylene, the bone does not lose elasticity in the cold and does not require lubrication with silicone.

3. Fittings, German, very important point

4. Water-based varnishes, they will preserve natural material for years to come

5. Double-glazed windows at least 2 cameras and 3 glasses.

6. Eurobrus 78mm minimum for the Russian severe climate.

I wish you luck in choosing wooden windows.
