It is important not only to provide the interior space with heat sources, but also to apply heat preservation measures. Often, it is the windows that cause significant heat transfer.
Methods for insulating plastic windows
So, what methods should be used to make the windows more insulated:
- Window cleaning - at first glance, such a procedure is not able to influence the outcome of the process. However, if you delve into this issue, you can change your mind. Heat leaves the room space not only through a draft, but also through infrared radiation. Clean glass has low transparency for them, while dirty glass, on the contrary, transmits perfectly.

- Heat Reflective Film - Using this material on the inside of the frame can significantly reduce heat loss. This is due to the obstruction of the outflow of infrared radiation, as well as the creation of an additional heat-insulating air layer.
- Traditional methods - as temporary measures, have proven themselves well over the years: self-adhesive rubber seal; cotton wool or foam rubber sealed with tape; moistened thin paper or plasticine; as well as many other folk remedies.

- Adjusting the closing mechanism - a fairly common cause of heat loss is a window sash that does not close tightly. This problem is solved by self-adjusting special screws or by calling a master.
