The moment of building the cottage comes in the process of building the walls already stand, even the ceilings are installed, and the roof will be completed soon, the next stage of construction – communication and interior decoration, but before starting work on the interior decoration, you need to install windows and doors without fail. Which windows to choose? What doors to install? Such questions are asked by each summer house builder.
The issue of choosing windows is not so wide, options for the material from which the frames (frames) of the window are made, a little:
• wood (used for a very long time and has not yet lost its popularity);
• metal -plastics (quite “young” material that rapidly won a large segment of the market and sustainably holds its positions);
• aluminum alloys (they also began to be used not so long ago, but they are not very popular);
• There are other materials from which the windows sometimes make, but in view of their “rarities”, we do not take into account them.
Of the above materials, it is best to use the windows as a frame of which a tree will be used on a timber house, yes, in its sound – and thermal insulation properties it loses its metal plasticity, and in terms of durability, aluminum alloys. Why wood? After all, we are building a summer house in nature, we need to be closer to it, especially since there is no special sound insulation, the noise of the trees is much quieter and more pleasant than a busy avenue outside.
Of the materials for filling window openings, the most common is glass. In modern windows, double-glazed windows of 2-3 glasses with intervals between it are used, this type of filling of openings shows the best parameters. If you need additional strength of the openings (the anti -vandal version), you can install shock -resistant double -glazed windows, in the manufacture of which anti -vandal plastic or reinforced glass is used.
When choosing interior doors, tend to closer to natural – better than doors from a wooden array, nothing has yet been invented. The front door is designed to protect the house from hacking and maintaining heat, therefore, despite the presence of all kinds of proposals from various materials, the best choice is a two -layer front door made of metal. The metal door can be decorated with wood or MDF pads, and it will organically fit into the design of your summer house. Doors from the Orlit are inserted into the cheapest houses.
The choice of windows and doors for your country house is an important question, because this is your comfort, your warmth and your tranquility.
