Today, we will introduce the related content of how to deal with the air leakage of aluminum doors and windows below, let’s learn and understand together!
Reasons for air leakage of aluminum alloy doors and windows
1. The material used is poor
The doors and windows on the market are mainly made of aluminum alloy, plastic steel, and broken bridge aluminum. Among them, the sealing performance of aluminum alloy is relatively poor compared with other materials. After two or three years of use, it is very easy to deform, and the doors and windows are deformed, which directly affects the sealing performance. When the wind blows, it will leak.
2. Damaged door and window accessories
If this is the reason, you can check whether the door and window fittings are sealed, whether the sealing strip used for the door and window is aging or broken, will make the overall sealing of the door and window worse. If it is not the reason for the sealing strip, you can check whether the styrofoam has become soft. After using it for a long time, chalking will inevitably occur, which will increase the direct gap between the frame and the wall and cause air leakage.
3. Poor installation
After the above two reasons are discharged, it may be that the master did not install it properly during the initial installation, which will also affect the air tightness and cause the doors and windows to leak.
What to do if aluminum alloy doors and windows leak
1. If it is a problem in the later stage of installation, you need to clean the gap between the door and window frame and the wall first, fill it with styrofoam after cleaning, and then smear the gap with cement mortar.
2. If the product is not installed properly, it causes air leakage. It is necessary to check whether it is a problem with the product itself or the master has not installed it properly. If it is a product problem, you can contact the merchant to apply for after-sales maintenance. If it is the problem of the master, you need to remove the doors and windows and reinstall them.
3. For doors and windows with small gaps, use sealing strips to paste directly.
4. With large gaps in doors and windows, if you don’t want to start construction, you can choose to install doors and windows with good airtightness.
