Improve the insulation of windows: blinds, curtains, blinds?

[zorglub]

I made measurements, at home, to look for the weak points of the insulation
I used a thermo thermo medical contact thermometer to measure the ambient t °
and to talk about shutter insulation here is what I noted
t ° ext -5 °
t ° against a window without double glazing - open shutters 6 °
t ° against the same kind of window closed metal shutter 11 °
I made other measurements that you can find in a similar subject for an isolation with a film on a survival blanket

Following the comfort gained in our stay, we came out of old curtains to equip all rooms with double curtains: the old ugly on the outside, the beautiful new on the inside.

And here is a dedicated topic: https://www.econologie.com/forums/conseil-is ... 10254.html

For less expensive and R = 3,5:

10cm of polystyrene !!

Which has in common with a heavy curtain, to be opaque
And the power to improve the insulation of triple glazing
(see to keep its simple glazing)

When is it cold? in winter !
When is it dark and cold when? in winter, from 17 p.m. to 9 a.m.
So indeed darkened windows, at night, it's possible

The difference ,
is that the implementation of a heavy engineer's curtain
very suitable for a conventional neighbor.
While the experience of simple polystyrene will be frowned upon, although very effective.

And you can double an aluminum foil on the inside: you'll see, it's magic. (white glue)

But don't forget about waterproofing!

currently
2cm directly against the glass!

For sealing,
if outside under the window,
the elasticity of the material is enough,
compress by forcing the plate formed of 2 pieces in width
and push it up, for the upper part,
remains to find a practical solution for the bottom.

And for decoration, a touch of plaster or a trompe-l'oeil to satisfy the neighbor!

It is true that nothing prevents putting a thick insulation on ... casement shutters ...

Just a little reminder, because some messages in this thread could be misleading:

Permeability to outside air does not make a dwelling damp on the contrary. Thus an outdoor air with 100% relative humidity and + 10 °, will only have a relative humidity of 53% when brought to 20 °.

Corollary: If a dwelling is damp, the origin of the problem is elsewhere and making it more watertight will rather amplify the phenomenon.

OKAY.

But cooling by draft and hot air loss is one thing and humidity another. In particular, the sensation of cold generated by the "coulis winds" is important. as well as the natural circulation of air by convection between hot and cold zones.

Airing a good blow every day is actually essential.

Already insulating your windows, think of putting protective films, like on cars for example, it insulates quite well, especially in terms of light but for that you need to call on pros, I do them at home it doesn’t not long ago and I advise you to call on XXXXX, they are quite good: [Moderate] go take a look!

Ooh, the ugly new registrant who advertises!
