How to achieve low carbon environmental protection when doors and windows are installed?

Many merchants deceive consumers in the name of low-carbon, environmentally friendly and non-polluting. In fact, there are many low-carbon and environmentally-friendly windows and doors on the market. Many consumers will not buy them. In fact, doors and windows can also be low-carbon and environmentally friendly when installed. Then, the question is, how to install windows and doors to achieve low carbon environmental protection?

Door and window seals

Some doors and windows are poor in production and installation, the gap is not strict, the weather is cold, the summer is hot, and the sound insulation is not good. It is recommended that you install a “seal strip” on the door and window. This type of seal is simple to install and low in cost, but the effect is very obvious, which can save you energy. Even if your house has a weather strip, you should check it during the season. If you have a wind blowing, feel the gap at the seam. If you feel the wind blowing, you must replace it as soon as possible.

Add a "insulation layer" on the balcony

In order to make the interior more spacious, many families will remove the balcony door connected to the house during the renovation, or simply use the enclosed balcony directly without installing the balcony door. This is not wise.

According to reports, because the general balcony is externally selected, the energy-saving facilities are very weak compared to the ordinary wall. Without a balcony door, the entire house will increase the energy consumption of heating or cooling due to this weak point. Experts suggest that you not only need to keep the balcony door during the renovation, but also add insulation on the balcony or balcony door, or replace the insulating glass when the balcony is closed.

Top roof sticker "aluminum foil"

Top-level houses or houses at both ends of a building generally have the problem of “cold winter and hot summer”. At the time of renovation, you can take some “special facilities” to improve this situation.

For example, a low emissivity material such as aluminum foil is attached to the inner surface of the roof to reduce the radiation heat exchange between the inner surface of the roof and the human body; a thermal insulation mortar of 20 mm to 30 mm thickness is applied to the inner side of the outer wall, or the outer surface of the outer wall is painted white. Or light-colored paint; laying a "insulation layer" of 100 mm to 150 mm on the roof waterproofing layer; replacing the original steel window or wooden window with a plastic-steel window or an insulating glass window.

Window peripherals "awning"

There is a “shade” on the windows, and the installation of curtains in the room is a good way to reduce energy consumption in summer.

It is understood that the outer awning can block most of the solar radiation out of the window, which is much better than the simple curtain.

When you are decorating, you can also choose the kind of "heat-reflecting" curtains, which are silver-white chemical fiber metal materials on the outside, and ordinary cloth-patterned curtains on the inside of the room. This kind of heat-reflecting curtain is also a good helper for your energy saving. It can effectively alleviate the problem of “excessive energy consumption” caused by the “not energy saving” of the house itself.

Under the wall, plant a "wall climbing tiger"

Wall-climbing plants such as wall tigers and ivy can grow on the wall; climbing plants such as grapes, morning glory, coral vines, firecrackers, etc. can climb along the scaffolding.

These plants thrive in the hot summer months and are used to block solar radiation and absorb solar heat. In the winter, the leaves of these plants will not hinder the building from receiving sunshine. According to calculations, in the summer season, when there are plants climbing the wall, the surface temperature of the outer wall can be lowered by 4 degrees Celsius to 5 degrees Celsius, and the indoor temperature will also be reduced.
