Glazing works together with frame and wall
A window choice includes glass, frame, draught proofing, ventilation and the future condition of the façade.
Approach
Assess the complete window
Check glass area, frame condition and connections. Plan the choice with painting, façade insulation or renovation.
Check these first
- Existing glass and frame material You can do this: Noteer glassoort, kozijnmateriaal, tocht en zichtbare schade. Professional help: Een glaszetter of bouwkundige bepaalt de staat en vervangingsopties.
- Draught proofing and connections You can do this: Controleer rubbers, kitnaden en aansluitingen rond het kozijn. Professional help: Een vakman beoordeelt kierdichting en eventuele herstelpunten.
- Condensation, ventilation and solar load You can do this: Let op condens, ventilatieroosters en felle zon op het glas. Professional help: Een specialist adviseert over ventilatie, zonwering en glaskeuze.
- Timing of façade or painting work You can do this: Noteer gepland schilderwerk, gevelisolatie of renovatie. Professional help: Een aannemer plant glas en kozijnen in de juiste bouwvolgorde.
