What windows are you sure to freeze in Russia

The onset of the cold season is very often accompanied by the occurrence of certain troubles. Owners of plastic windows are faced with the phenomenon of condensation on the bottom of the glass. Its small manifestation, as a rule, does not cause anyone concern. However, what to do if the condensate has covered almost all the glass on the windowsill of the puddle, and the glass freezes from time to time? We will try to find explanations for this phenomenon in this article.

So, the first reason that can be a source of problems is incorrectly selected design parameters. Practice shows that a profile width of less than 70 mm in combination with a single-chamber double-glazed window will very poorly cope with the harsh Russian climate in the winter season.

In order for the window to reliably protect the interior of the room from the penetration of the cold, as well as to preserve the available heat as much as possible, preference should be given to a profile whose thickness starts from 80 mm A double-glazed window should contain at least two cameras, although this is largely determined by the region in which the installation will be.

Residents of colder regions install glass with four or more cameras for better heat conservation. The sealant must be made of silicone material, and the installed fittings must correspond to a sufficient level of quality.

It is poor fittings that can be the second reason for freezing a window. After some time, the mechanisms tend to loosen and fail. All this largely affects the low fit of the sash to the frame. As a result, cold air begins to penetrate, and the window freezes.

The selection of plastic windows should never be made on the basis of the cheapness of the product. After all, an installed window without taking into account climatic features will not be able to protect the housing from the influence of cold temperatures.

The territory of Russia is quite large, respectively, and the needs of customers are different. Residents of the southern regions can afford the installation of invested structures, but the central and northern regions should choose the most cold-resistant configurations. It should be remembered that good windows will not only retain heat in the room, but will also save significant money on heat energy consumption.
