Winter is the best time to replace windows

Last spring, while pasting the windows after the winter cold, you firmly decided: “Stop! This summer I am changing windows! ” The romantic time of summer cottages, vacations, high temperatures and heavy rains has safely come to an end and you are again in front of the window with strips of foam rubber and paper. “Stop! Why didn’t I change the windows? ”

You have not changed the windows, because summer is a precious time that needs to be devoted to children, relatives, friends and loved ones, and let the windows wait for winter. This is the right approach and the professionals support it! Many employees of window companies are specifically waiting for winter to change windows in their apartments, and they already know a lot about this..

The technical director of “Window Factory” LLC answers the most common questions about the installation of windows in the winter.

Many are worried that during installation the apartment can get very cold, which will not have the best effect on heating systems. In fact, this doubt is unfounded. On average, installation of a standard window takes 1.5 hours, of which the opening remains open for 30 minutes (maximum 50 minutes). During this time, only the air in the room will have time to cool, therefore, flowers must be removed from the room in which the installation is being carried out, and it is better to send children and pets to visit their grandmother or neighbors. You do not need to worry about heating devices, they will suffer only if your house will stand without windows and without heating for 2-3 days at a temperature of -15 ° C. And do not believe those who say that your doorway will be open no more than 15-20 minutes. Installation is very individual and here you can only promise that we will try to do everything as quickly as possible.

There is an opinion that the installation of windows in winter is of poor quality, since it is very difficult to work with frozen hands. It is very true that buyers approach window replacement with a human factor in mind. But there is nothing to worry about, since, according to experts and our observations, the quality of installation improves in winter and this happens for several reasons:

1. The rise in the window business reaches its peak in September, and it is during this period that the workload of all sections of the window company is at its maximum. Installation service is no exception. In winter, the installers work calmly, without haste, and devote a little more time to each order than in the summer. Therefore, frozen hands are compensated by increased attention to each order;
2. When installing a window in winter, all the shortcomings are visible immediately after “foaming” the opening. If it shows through somewhere, the problem is immediately eliminated. In addition, in winter it is very easy to determine where the fog is most likely in the window and prevent this problem. This is easy to do, because in summer the air temperature inside and outside is almost the same, and in winter there is a sharp drop. Everything is clear – here and now! And if you change the window in the summer, then you need to wait for the first cold weather to make sure that the window is really set “excellently”.

There is concern that polyurethane foam loses its properties when used at low temperatures. Quite right. Conventional polyurethane foam, the so-called “all-season”, is really not suitable for use at temperatures below -5CO. But the company FABRIKA OKON in the winter uses a special winter foam, which expands perfectly even at temperatures down to -15 ° C and adheres to the contacting surfaces better than ordinary.
It is true that installation must be done very carefully, since a decrease in temperature reduces the impact resistance of the plastic. If in doubt, wait for the thermometer to rise above -15CO. The company FACTORY WINDOWS does not take a penalty for storing finished structures, so it costs nothing to wait a few days. The second alternative – let the windows stand at room temperature for about 40 minutes – they will warm up, and you can start working. During this time, the installers are just dismantling the old windows..

In addition, installation in winter has other pleasant advantages..
For example:

Most window companies reduce prices for their products in winter and WINDOW FACTORY is no exception – our prices will pleasantly surprise you;

It is convenient to put up windows in winter and devote summer to rest;

And imagine: “It’s all over! There is wind and snow outside, and you are in your house, enjoying the warmth, silence, a cup of tea and new windows! ” Nicely? Of course it’s nice!
