Wooden window structures are no less popular than their plastic counterparts.

Despite the fact that they are mounted in the cold season pine windows with some difficulties, it is quite possible to spend the ego.

Difficulties installing wooden windows in winter

The main factors that can threaten the quality of the structure and its service life during installation in the cold season:

• low temperatures can negatively affect the wooden frame and the process of solidification of the mounting foam;

• in the winter season, there is a risk of condensation between the window and the opening, which will lead to the appearance of fungus and premature destruction of the structure.



However, with proper installation, such phenomena can be avoided. Specialists report that new wooden windows can be installed at a temperature of up to -10 °C, if the room is not heated. Since such windows are most often used for glazing residential premises, it is possible to order an installation if the air temperature outside drops below -20 °C.
