This winter is not so cruel. However, you still need to be warm and pleasant at home. What to do if it fails?
Do you heat like furious, but do you still feel that it is strange in your apartment? If you just “do something” and do not fight with a cold, cough and uncomfortable feelings of cold on your body, then look for the cause elsewhere. Maybe in poorly sealing windows. Unfortunately, no windows will last forever, and if you have older pieces in the apartment, the glass may move in the frame and permits cold air into the room.

Leaking windows
Unfortunately, you are not protected from the outside from the outside by modern windows. Especially if they are poorly installed and the frames are not leaking well. Which not only leads to the fact that you “blow” into your apartment, but also to damage the windows, which is a pretty unpleasant thing at today’s prices! And thirdly: the cause of your cold in the apartment may also be older sealing tapes, which are due to weather, moisture, but also “walk”, peel off and leak as they should. Therefore, we suggest that you check the window frames and see if everything is OK.
Candle
Other warning signals will tell you whether the windows are badly sealing. “In particular, it is a fluctuating temperature around the windows, cracks around the window frame or icing around the window panel,” says the expert, recommending a candle test that tells you how your windows actually are: “Light a high candle and move it along the edges of the window. If the flame is unchanged then you have the windows fine. If it begins to “twist” or even goes out, you have a problem with greater air permeability. “
Sealing tape
Repair windows in winter is no pleasure. Therefore, try to find the simplest solution. If you have new windows and leaks well, contact the company that installed them and ask for remedy. In case you have older windows, bet on the sealing tapes that stick to the frames to prevent possible heat losses. Strong sealing and waterproof tapes are suitable, which can withstand frequent mobility of windows. If you bet on cheaper foam tapes, be aware that they are quickly “driving” and you need to replace them every winter season.
Window insulating foil
Another temporary solution for your blowing is window insulating foils, which create an insulating barrier on the glass and thus should not blow a particularly over them. They are on the market in many versions, but most of them do not look very aesthetically. But if you want warmth, you will last during the winter and as soon as it gets warmed up, you take this “armor barrier”.
Thermo -insulation curtains
To maintain more heat in the room, you can use one more gadget – thermal insulation curtains! They are made of 3 – 4 layers of fabric, most often polyester and cotton high weight, which prevents heat leakage. If you match them with the color of the interior, it does not seem distracting.
