In winter, old windows waste a lot of energy and cause cold air to enter the house. By insulating windows and doors, it is possible to prevent heat and cold from entering the building. Of course, the amount of energy wasted in double-glazed windows is much less than ordinary windows.
The best way to insulate doors and windows is to use elite double-glazed windows to prevent wastage of energy and to prevent cold from entering the house. Double-glazed windows are insulated and help keep the building warm during winter. But sometimes your house has old windows that cannot be replaced, or you can't change the old door and window quickly, or you can't afford to install a new window right now. But not being able to use double-glazed windows and doors does not mean that you should not take steps towards insulation and energy saving.
Windows that conserve energy and temperature inside the home can reduce heating or cooling costs by 20-30%. The final solution to reduce heat loss is to install such windows that are specially designed to prevent heat loss. If this is not practical for you, there are other solutions with which you can prepare the window to face the winter cold to minimize heat loss during the winter.
1- Installing double door and window
In this picture, you can see the difference between normal windows (picture on the left) and elite double-paned windows (right). As you can see in the thermal image, the installation of multi-paned insulated doors and windows will have a great effect in preventing energy wastage. Replacing old windows with double-glazed windows will be done easily by elite specialists without any damage.
2- Use plastic for window insulation
Installing plastic in front of the windows for insulation is an easy and cheap method. Using plastic creates an additional layer of insulation against the cold outside. For old, metal doors and windows and windows that are not insulated and the air flow easily passes through them, this insulation is the best way to prevent the outside cold from entering the house.
Although the use of transparent plastic is a suitable option for insulation, they have problems with installing these plastics due to the fact that their appearance is not beautiful. As a result, it is better to use these covers in the windows of the house that are not visible. Also, with this work, it becomes difficult and impossible to open and close the window and use it. Therefore, it is better to install plastic for windows that are used less.
3. Coating the cooler valve to reduce energy consumption
The best way to cover the cooler valve
In cold seasons, 25% of the heating energy of the building is wasted through the water cooler valves. Closing the valve and sticking plastic on the air conditioner valves is necessary to have a warm home and save energy. Covering the cooler with a cover can prevent the exit of hot air and the entry of dust and cold. We recommend that you cover the vents of the cooler in the winter season as shown in the picture below.
