Materials and technology of independent repair of wooden windows
Not everyone can boast of a brand new glass packet. In the apartments of most Russians there are standard wooden swing windows. They can rattle or jam, but do not rush to save to new windows. After all, these problems can be easily eliminated.
To do this, we need the following materials and tools:
– Steel corners and screws
– Wooden trims for traffic jams or wedges
– plane
The process of repairing wooden windows itself consists of the following operations:
1. The resulting sash is repaired in the same way as an ordinary front door. It will only be enough to knock out the wedge under the loop or put them on wooden plugs.
2. The rattling of glass is also easily eliminated by strengthening stacks. Typically, this problem occurs with wood deformation as a result of dampness and means an increase in the gaps between glass and frame.
3. If the frame is wrapped in moisture, it can be leveled with a shirt.
4. Even very old windows are subject to repair, in which part of the sash has so distorted so much that it is poorly closed and opened, while clinging to the windowsill.
For this, steel corners are useful that you can buy or make yourself. The sash is closed, adjusted using wedges and is brought into a normal position, after which the corners of steel are fixed in the crash of the angles of the frame. Due to this simple procedure, constructive connections will again become tough, and the frame will be like new.
