How is air leakage caused by doors and windows? The four major questions you must understand
The selection and installation of new home doors and windows must be done in one step, because doors and windows are the channels connecting home life to the outside world, and a good home living environment requires a comfortable and safe environment. Choosing the right doors and windows is a crucial step in home decoration as it provides a certain level of enjoyment in both spirit and perception; At present, most doors and windows on the market are of mixed quality. Some not only fail to provide sound insulation and heat resistance, but also frequently leak air, posing safety hazards over time.
What causes air leakage in home doors and windows? How should we solve the problem of air leakage? If the newly installed doors and windows cannot leak air, it is caused by two aspects: one is the quality problem of the product itself, and the other is the installation process problem. Let's summarize it into four major issues here.
Gap issue between frame and fan fit
According to the national standard process, the standard for the gap between the door leaf and the door frame is 1-5mm, because the overlapping of the window frame and the window leaf of the door and window is sealed with honey, and there is a certain error between the window and the frame during the production process; If the overlap amount of the frame and fan increases, the gap between the frame and fan decreases, which can seriously affect installation. When the overlap amount of the frame and fan decreases, the sealing performance will decrease. If the overlap amount is too small, it will also increase the risk of doors and windows falling off.
Poor quality rubber strips aging and peeling problems
Some manufacturers use inferior sealing strips, so why do the styles look similar and the prices differ greatly on the market? Because the cost is different, the quality is also different. Sealing strips have elastic properties in fixing door and window frames, sashes, and glass; And it can tightly connect the profiles, hardware, and glass of doors and windows, making them a whole and playing a sealing and pressure equalization role, thus achieving the performance specifications of doors and windows.
The selection of insulating glass
Nowadays, windows with large areas of glass are popular, so glass plays a crucial role in windows; Most glass does not have air leakage, but it has a direct impact on preventing it. If there is air leakage in doors and windows, not only will the temperature change due to external factors, but there will also be noise entering. Each piece of glass in the Lidu safety system doors and windows is precision manufactured, with each piece of glass fired at a high temperature of 600 ° C. The product is finely crafted in terms of compression resistance and sound insulation, combined with carefully designed installation techniques, to fully utilize the product.
Master installation process issues
Because everyone understands that doors and windows are "three parts product, seven parts installation", installation in doors and windows plays a very important role; If there are problems with the installation of doors and windows, it will directly accelerate the damage and lifespan of the doors and windows, and soon there will be various phenomena such as water seepage, air leakage, and detachment; Lidu doors and windows are installed by professional installers and local distributors, with professional construction tools, making the entire door and window an organic whole, fully integrated into home design, and allowing doors and windows to fully exert their due performance.
