How long does the assembly take and what is needed in the apartment / house to prepare?
Installation of windows or even removal can be completed without problems for a classic family house (approx. 15 - 20 pcs/windows) in a single day. In the event that there is masonry work ordered, assembly will be dependent upon the complexity of the bricklayer's finishing. The customer must ensure access to window openings before installation so that the window could utter bore to the building, and that installers are able to seamlessly move about 5ft from the window while working. It is necessary that the customer covers floors and furniture because of the dust during removal.
How long after installation can windows be safely used?
If the installation is done well, then immediately (box must hold already anchored). However, we suggest you leave the insulating foam to harden sufficiently, which is after about 5 hours.
What is micro-ventilation?
In addition to classical ventilation, new windows allow micro-ventilation by opening or tilting the window. It is one of the positions of the handle when the window is closed, but the seal is slightly reduced. This ventilation is advantageous in the winter months, for example at night in dormitories where full opening windows would mean a considerable loss of heat. Although all the windows that can be opened and tilted have the option of micro-ventilation, we recommend more regular-controlled ventilation.
How to properly ventilate?
Ventilation is a very important thing. In new and even older buildings there is increased humidity. Proper heating and ventilation can eliminate dampness in the home, thus prevent fogging. New windows have very good seals and therefore there is no spontaneous ventilation. For this reason it is necessary to regularly ventilate and control low heat loss in the room. Ventilation can be either short-term or done as the so-called “micro-ventilation.”
What to do with mist windows?
Water condensation on insulating glass can have a very simple reason. A very common problem is a poorly ventilated room. Old windows, due to their reduced insulating properties, decrease a large amount of air thus causing constant unregulated air exchange. In contrast, a new window having a perfect seal wouldn’t allow air to penetrate. It is therefore necessary to get used to regular controlled ventilation and thereby reduce the amount of moisture in the air.
Is it possible to replace the windows in the winter months?
Yes, even in the winter months windows can easily be replaced. The removal of old and installation of new windows is only a short time and without any explicit coldness in the rooms. Moreover, the windows are exchanged gradually, so there is always a warm part of the house. The materials we use for installation are certified and designed for use in temperatures up to 14°F.
How long does it take to get the windows?
Once the contract is signed and the deposit is paid the windows/doors are manufactured and shipped overseas. The whole process depends on the color options selected and ranges from 6-10 weeks. Windows with plain white color on the exterior and interior take the shortest time, since there is no additional color film applied to the frame. In contrast, windows with different colors on the exterior and interior take the longest.
