How do the window leak? Is there a good solution?

Answer:

Three reasons: doors and windows hardware accessories do not force the window is another important reason for air leakage. Mainly the sealing parts are in trouble. The most common is the aging of the seal cracking, a direct result of the deterioration of the window sealing performance; there is a soak is too soft, the use of a few years after the occurrence of powder, resulting in the gap between the window frame and the wall Air leakage. Solution: you can replace the seal, the use of EPDM rubber is better, or less quality rubber and plastic can also be; if their operation can not, looking for the street to do the plastic window shop workers to replace the cost will not too much. As for the styrofoam, need to find workers to operate, styrofoam curing, the owners can pinch their own, strenuous to be able to pinch the quality is better.
Reason two: the installation is not in place Even with a good material of the window, the installation process is not in place to determine whether the window is an important factor in air leakage. The first window must be correct, otherwise the window may be used for some time after the window may be more and more crooked situation, the gap between the window frame and the wall will be more and more large, air leakage is inevitable. Secondly, according to the reporter to understand, the windows at the time of installation, need to send a bubble filled with plastic shoes and the gap between the wall. To be cured after the styrofoam, and then evenly in the window frame around the sealant, both to prevent the rain from the window and wall installation gap into the room, but also to prevent air leakage. But also in the window inside and outside the double-sided sizing, but Hu Zengguang introduced, and some workers figure easy, only in the internal glue, or in the internal point of a few plastic, sealed lax. Even if the external hit the styrofoam, but a year or a year or so will be powder, summer leakage, the situation will appear in winter air leakage. In addition, when the decoration, home improvement workers found the window frame and the wall seam gap seal is not strict, will be put up from the inside putty, but for a long time, there will be a subtle seam, resulting in air leakage. Solution: the first case to find the window manufacturers. If only the glue inside the window is not playing well, the gap is relatively small, you can paste the US profile paper, stamped into the gap can be sealed; if there is a problem with the external glue, you need to contact the workers to operate.
I also encountered the same problem, and finally with an idle blanket at home to solve this problem. With a pair of scissors to the blanket or coral blanket cut into long strip, width 8cm (specific width according to the thickness of the blanket may be), double folding, the hand into the plastic window slide (three sides), air leakage effect is very good, and to the window Side trimmed with a beautiful side.
Reason one: poor material Now the windows material to break the bridge insulation aluminum, plastic windows for the mainstream, aluminum doors and windows have been due to poor sealing performance gradually eliminated. But even if the purchase of plastic windows and broken bridge aluminum windows, expert tips should also pay attention to material. If the material is poor, the window will be used for two or three years will be deformed, once the deformation, the sealing performance is poor, it will leak, so this also reminds the owners to pay special attention when buying windows. Solution: only to find the windows manufacturers to solve.
1. The seam is the installation gap (that is, the window frame or the door and the wall is not close, resulting in the gap) 2. The product is not in place to install the gap (that is, sash and window frames or doors and doors of the gap) If it is the reason 1, it is recommended that the window frame and the door cover with the wall of the gap clean, filled with styrofoam, and then use high-grade cement and river sand fill the gap, the final decoration and then finishes repair; If it is the reason 2, to see the product itself is the reason for the design or installation of workers in place. search for If the product itself is the reason, may only find manufacturers or dealers to make up, if it is because the workers are not in place, you can remove the re-install
