“Windows are your eyes to the outside world!”,” Windows are the eyes of the house!” – such expressions can be found quite often on construction forums and sites devoted to construction and repair. After them, we, as a rule, look at our own windows and … we understand that it is time to repair the “eyes”!
As often, the reconstruction of buildings and structures is required, so the windows may require recovery, especially if they have been operated for a long time. If your house is plastic in your house, then their repair is carried out only by specialists. But wooden windows can be revived on your own.
So, how will we restore the windows? We will color them! First of all, it is necessary to remove the old paint from the windows if it is there. After removing the paint, go through the frame with sandpaper to clean the remains of paint, glue, etc. D. Now carefully inspect the frames. Often, for a long time of operation, they can acquire cracks, and even frank holes. If there are one in your case, then another point of preparatory work will be needed.
It is better not to fill the fissures with foam with foam – it has the ability to expand and only will break the frame harder. Most often, a special resin is used for these purposes or … ordinary plaster! Try to fill the entire emptiness that has formed and let it dry properly. If you have a private house, it will be useful to process the frame with additional wood protection products. Glue the glass with a special film or paper.
When all this is done, proceed to painting. In this case, pay attention to the brush. It is best, of course, to use a sprayer in this case – it will not make paces, neatly with a thin layer will apply paint and give the windows the best look. If there is no one, then stock up on a good set of small roller and a pair of thin brushes.
