Plastic window for the bedroom: what to consider when choosing

Choosing windows for residential premises is a difficult task in itself. But if we are talking about the bedroom, which should be as cozy and comfortable as possible, then the requirements for windows increase many times. An optimal microclimate can be provided only if all factors are taken into account. Which ones — we will tell you below.

The bedroom is a place where it is warm and quiet

The less we are disturbed during the rest, the more effectively we will recover our strength. And the absence of discomfort largely depends on the right windows in the bedroom. What should be taken into account?

• Thermal insulation. The bedroom should be cool, but by no means cold. Too low a temperature will not only prevent you from getting enough sleep, but will also cause the development of colds. In order not to turn on additional heaters and not to wrap yourself in blankets, choose windows with maximum heat-saving indicators. Six—chamber profile systems WDS 8S, WDS 7S and WDS 6S will be the best choice - and it is worth adding a two-chamber double-glazed window with energy-saving glasses and argon. In this case, the window will let in a minimum of heat — and hypothermia will not cause problems.
• Sunscreen. If the cold prevents you from sleeping in winter, then in summer it is exhausting heat. Windows that face the south or east side of the building let the summer heat into the bedroom — and therefore you have to turn on the air conditioner (additionally risking a cold). The problem is solved by installing a sunscreen or multifunctional double-glazed window. Such glazing prevents overheating of the bedroom — and even in the July heat, a comfortable coolness will reign in it.
• Sound insulation. Extraneous sounds interfere with proper rest — and even if you are used to the noise of the motorway, your brain still feels uncomfortable. To minimize the negative impact, it is worth considering installing a sound insulation double-glazed window. Such glazing (thicker front glass, different thickness of the distance frames) will be the optimal solution if the bedroom windows overlook the highway, a noisy courtyard with a playground or a summer terrace of a restaurant.

More fresh air

When we insulate ourselves as much as possible and install almost 100% sealed metal-plastic windows, we often forget that fresh air is also very important. Sleeping in the stuffy air is uncomfortable — the brain does not receive enough oxygen, and the risk of waking up in the morning with a headache will be very high.

That's why airing the bedroom should be convenient. The standard solution is to periodically open the window in a folding position and let in fresh air. But other options are also possible:

• Micro-ventilation. The optimal choice for the cold season, when you do not want to let in a large amount of cold air at once. The presence of micro—ventilation on the window allows you to open a small gap for fresh air access in the background - without severe hypothermia.

Pay attention! The alternative is step—by-step ventilation. If micro-ventilation allows you to open the window only in one position, then with step-by-step ventilation, you can adjust the size of the gap between the sash and the frame.

• Intensive ventilation. Another way to ventilate the bedroom is to fully open the window for about half an hour before going to bed. In order for the sash, open in the rotary position, not to open or close, the window in the bedroom should be equipped with a limiter or a turn lock.

By the way, about the safety of ventilation. If a small child has access to the bedroom, then a child safety lock will be a mandatory part for installation. It will allow you to ventilate the room, but at the same time will not allow the child to open the window without the knowledge of adults.

More light — a more beautiful window

The standard problem of a bedroom in a typical high—rise building is the small size of the window. Window openings in such houses are modest in size, and therefore it is necessary to face a shortage of natural light almost constantly. Of course, you can install lamps — but you should also think about lighting when choosing a plastic window for the bedroom. This problem is partially solved by choosing a profile with a reduced sash height — for example, WDS 6S.

The design of the window is also important — the design should fit into the overall color scheme. Therefore, it is worth considering not only standard white windows, but also laminated structures. The choice of lamination options is more than extensive, so you can choose the shade of the profile for any color scheme in the room.

Installation of windows in the bedroom

Installation of plastic windows in the bedroom should be carried out in compliance with current standards — installation according to DSTU is not only desirable, but also recommended. Compliance with these rules will allow:

• Normalize natural humidity by maintaining ventilation.
• Minimize the risk of drafts or blowing.
• Guarantee good sound insulation not only of the structure itself, but also of the mounting seam.

That is why the installation of windows in the bedroom should be entrusted to highly qualified specialists. Well, the window itself should be completed taking into account the recommendations that we have given above.
