Technology of manufacturing a frame for a window made of wood. Construction of wooden windows Drawings for the manufacture of window frames blocks

Four years ago, I published an article "Window block profile drawings (wooden double-glazed window)", where I attached a photo and drawings of wooden window profiles. Over the years, I have received several letters asking for gusset drawings or more detailed drawings. A week ago, I received another such letter, and today I will try to clarify the situation with this overview article.

Letter from a reader of ModelMen.ru

Written by: Daniel

Hello Dmitry. I am from Sevastopol (Crimea, Ukraine). I was very interested in the drawings of a wooden window with a double-glazed window. (). Now I am doing repairs in the house and did not want to put plastic windows, and very expensive wooden ones came to my mind to make them myself, I started looking for drawings on the Internet and many search engines indicate yours. You write that you developed the drawings yourself, so I wanted to ask you a question as a developer. How much the window should be smaller than the frame, i.e. if you assemble the frame, then how should the frame (height and width) be calculated so that they fit exactly to each other and do not create gaps when closing (or do not cling to each other). Is it possible to make such a window without a milling machine? How to connect the corners (butt or at 45 degrees)? Under what fittings was the window calculated? I promise that if I manage to make such a window, I will post photos of the step-by-step creation of such a window. Thanks in advance. Sincerely, Daniel.

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

So let's go!

Is it possible to make such a window without a milling machine?

Yes, it is possible! Moreover, such a window can be made with only a circular saw at hand. I have a modern saw blade for aluminum in my arsenal, although it was written at the time of sale that it saws wood, of course. My disk looks like this:

Specifications:
Disc diameter 255 mm.
Number of teeth 80 pcs.
Mounting hole diameter 30 mm.

Mine really has a 32 mm bore and a larger diameter, but that's not the point, it's the number of teeth! Thanks to the large number of teeth on the blade, it cuts wood exceptionally cleanly. I often asked friends to compare planed wood and sawn wood with this blade, sawn wood always won in quality. Home planers often do not give a high-quality planed surface, it turns out to be wavy, especially at the ends of the workpiece, and not everyone can afford industrial equipment.

Why am I doing all this, you can make a wooden window with a circular machine at hand and a good saw blade with a lot of teeth (soldering).

How to connect corners?

The most interesting question :) because most make a simple spike connection into one spike.

Such frames with one spike have already proven to be extremely short-lived. If you want the window to serve for a long time and withstand a large number of opening and closing cycles of the sashes, then make a spike connection in two spikes. You can of course make it in three spikes, if the thickness of the frame allows.

The more spikes, the greater the bonding area of ​​the parts and, accordingly, such a spike connection is several times stronger.

How to make a spike connection?

This is not as difficult as it seems at first glance, first you need to cut four blanks to size, two vertical and two horizontal. These can be just rectangular bars or already bars with a selected profile. The length of the blanks depends on the size of the box of the window block, it is better to calculate this, of course, on the drawing.

You can even saw off the blanks to length by eye, attaching them to the finished box, but given that the frame should overlap the box. Of course, in this case, a profile must already be selected in the blanks for the frame.

Spikes and eyes are usually cut on a milling machine, but we have circumstances, there is no machine, so the same can be done on a circular saw with the help of simple devices or without them at all.

It should be noted right away that the vertical parts of a wooden window or door are always eyes, and the horizontal parts should be spikes.

For example, I will show you a video of how an uncle makes spike joints on a circular using his device.

Here's a smarter one:

In both videos, box spikes are made, they are small and there are a lot of them and it is difficult to make them without devices. If you make one or two windows, then you can get by with a simple fixture as in the first video, but without a pin, then all the work will need to be done by marking with a pencil on the workpiece.

Under what fittings was the window calculated?

To be honest, I took the fittings and the profile of a plastic window as a basis. I don’t know if there are differences between fittings for a wooden and a plastic window, but I think that having any of them you can adapt.

At the beginning of this winter, I installed a factory-made wooden window in my kitchen on my own. Below, see the photo of the window, which elements can be taken from there when developing a drawing.

Today, I would portray my profile a little differently than four years ago:

As you can see, I increased the size of the bars to 80 mm., All the same, we have harsh winters, and I would like the heat to remain in the house, besides, a more massive frame will be stronger and look better.

In this article, I again do not give you ready-made drawings and window sizes, because in order to develop them, you need to have window fittings in your hands and understand how it is attached and works. Unfortunately, I have no experience with such fittings, so I cannot yet develop a finished drawing. Below I tried to visually depict how the corner stud connection should look like.

I found a few more photos on the Internet that show elements of the tenon joints of a wooden window. I hope the information I have provided will help you to independently develop a drawing of a wooden double-glazed window and bring it to life. Good luck!

Today, plastic windows are in the greatest demand among consumers, but this does not mean that wooden models have lost their relevance. The main advantage of such structures is as follows: almost anyone can make wooden windows with their own hands.

Advantages

Today, wooden windows with double-glazed windows are considered an elite option that not every homeowner can afford. In terms of their technical and operational characteristics, they are in no way inferior to PVC structures, and in terms of environmental safety, they are in many ways superior.

The undoubted advantages of wood models include:

  • naturalness;
  • safety in use (they do not emit toxins during temperature changes, with high-quality installation they do not change their parameters);
  • ease and convenience of installation, repair work;
  • aesthetic appeal (dirt is almost invisible on wooden models);
  • several opening options, mosquito net.

Of course, such designs are by no means cheap. But making them yourself is a way to save money.

Wooden windows made on special machines are distinguished by the accuracy of assembly. But compliance with all technological features of the process of connecting various structural elements will make it high-quality and reliable.

Instruments

To make a similar window with your own hands, you will need the following tools:

  • drill;
  • a hammer;
  • screwdriver;
  • milling machine;
  • roulette;
  • ruler;
  • glazing bead;
  • glue;
  • sealant;
  • fasteners.

box

The most popular among the materials for the manufacture of the box among middle-class consumers is pine. It is affordable and practical to use.

An oak window will be of better quality. But this material is quite expensive, so experts do not recommend making a window structure from it for the first time. Also, do not use soft woods.

Pine boards that will be used for the box must be properly dried.

When buying a board, choose material without knots, cracks, undeformed. The box experiences the greatest load, so it must be made of high-quality board.

If glued laminated timber was chosen, then, subject to high-quality installation, you are guaranteed to receive a high-strength window, it will not change its parameters during operation.

To avoid subsequent deformation, the window block should be a couple of centimeters smaller than the opening.

Depending on the thickness of the window, a bar of a certain size is selected. The minimum indicator is 6 * 4 cm.

Grooves in the timber can be made using a milling cutter or an electric planer. Before carrying out this stage of work, it is best to practice on a separate piece of the board.

First you need to make measurements, according to which it will be possible to make a box. In the blanks for it, to a depth of 1.5 cm, grooves should be made in the shape of the letter G. The ends of the bars are cut down at an angle of 45˚. After that, all the elements of the window box must be connected with carpentry glue, make holes in them, through which insert wooden rods 3 cm long.

Do not forget to grease the holes for the wooden rods with glue.

Thus, the resulting structure will become fixed and rigidly fixed at a right angle.

The opening in which the box will be mounted must first be prepared: cleaned of debris and dirt, leveled. Holes should be drilled in the walls (in increments of no more than 80 cm), into which dowels should be driven. The box is fixed with self-tapping screws.

After that, with the help of mounting foam, it is necessary to close up all the gaps between the walls and the box. The advantage of this fixation is as follows: the design does not depend on temperature changes.

It must be remembered that the geometry of the window must be strictly observed: corners - 90˚, diagonal difference - no more than 10 mm, deviations in evenness - no more than 1 mm per 1 m of the length of the window block.

Frame

Experts advise to invite professional craftsmen to measure the frame, since the slightest mistake in the calculations can lead to undesirable consequences. It is best to make a frame from a bar with a cross section of at least 6 * 4 cm. For euro-windows, a bar is needed, the humidity of which does not exceed 12%. Oak, hornbeam, beech are ideal for such structures.

It is worth using whole pieces of timber for the manufacture of frames, it is better to make it from several boards in several layers, connecting each of them with wood glue; make sure that the fibers of each layer are perpendicular to the fibers of the previous one.

The number and thickness of glass, the parameters of the glazing bead depend on the shape of the frame profile. The single glass model has a pair of rectangular slots. The double-glazed window has an additional groove for the second glass.

The profile is shaped using a milling cutter or an electric planer. In this case, glass with a thickness of 4 mm and a glazing bead with a thickness of 10 mm are used.

The prepared boards are sawn, the sawing angle along the edges should be 45˚. They are connected like a thorn-groove and fixed on self-tapping screws so that their hats are recessed into the tree (if desired, they can be “hidden” under a mixture of glue and sawdust).

Then the entire structure is assembled, the joints are carefully coated with carpentry glue. After the frame is dry, the joints are sanded.

Window models with a sash need to install fittings.

Do not forget to treat all wooden components with an antiseptic composition before installing both the box and the frame.

Glasses can be mounted only after the frames are installed.

Installation Features

In order for a wooden window to be installed strictly horizontally, it is necessary to use mounting blocks. The window is carefully adjusted beforehand, then fixed with wedges.

If your window is more than 1.5 m, then install an additional mounting plate in the middle of the structure.

glass

It is important to correctly calculate the size of the glass, this will avoid the formation of cold bridges. Measurements are taken with an accuracy of 1 mm. When cutting glass with a diamond self-tapping screw, you must take care of safety precautions (use gloves to protect your hands, goggles to protect your eyes).

Prepared pieces of glass are inserted into the frame for fitting, then they are removed. Sealant is applied to the grooves and the glass is inserted again. Then the whole structure is fixed with a glazing bead using small nails.

Finishing touches

A fully prepared do-it-yourself structure is installed in the grooves and fixed on self-tapping screws.

Self-tapping screws must go through the box, a mounting gun will help you do this.

At the last stage, it is necessary to close up all the cracks with mounting foam, let it dry and plaster the surface of the walls.

After that, you can mount the ebbs and the window sill.

As you can see, making wooden windows with your own hands is quite possible. Of course, for this it is necessary to adhere to a certain sequence of work and observe some technological subtleties.

If you doubt that you can make such designs yourself, seek help from professional craftsmen. They will manufacture and install wooden windows quickly and efficiently.

The first association that arises when mentioning eurowindows is single-chamber or two-chamber white PVC structures. It is these windows that are in most apartments and private houses, replacing outdated frame structures. An alternative to plastic windows, inferior to wooden ones in terms of environmental friendliness, but winning in terms of performance, are Euro-windows made of wood. They have impressive parameters, and the appearance is on the level, and they are “friendly” with the environment. Unlike plastic, a wooden window box with a proud prefix "euro" can be made independently. Making wooden windows with your own hands is a common thing for many FORUMHOUSE users.

Do-it-yourself Eurowindow

Eurowindow - what is it and how is it done

Eurowindow is a structure consisting of a frame, a double-glazed window and perimeter fittings controlled by a handle.

Perimeter fittings are a prefabricated harness, completed from several parts mounted around the entire perimeter of the profile. It provides locking of the sash at several points, using one handle, which allows you to achieve the most snug fit and eliminates blowing. Thanks to this fitting, a window with an opening sash can operate in two modes - turning and tilt-and-turn. In the rotary mode, the window opens only by turning, in the combined mode, the window sash opens and leans back.

The fundamental structural difference between "euro" and ordinary windows is one frame, in which several double-glazed windows can stand. The main of the technical characteristics of the "euro" is complete tightness, achieved through various seals. Thermal conductivity will also depend on the number of air chambers, and on the type of glass in the double-glazed window, and on the correct installation of the window. Therefore, the material from which the profile is made does not play a significant role, the functionality of the structure and its characteristics are important.

DIY wooden windows

The process of manufacturing a wooden euro-window will require certain financial investments - the cost of wood, components, equipment. Window double-glazed windows are also easier to order from professionals, although some craftsmen manage to assemble this assembly on their own. But even taking into account the impressive cost of the finished product, which belongs to the elite, and therefore quite expensive products, the savings will be substantial. When it comes to building a new house or full glazing of an old one, the difference can be tens of thousands.

Materials, tools, drawings, connection of elements

Windows are constantly exposed to external influences and temperature differences inside and outside, which inevitably leads to a change in the geometry of the structure when it comes to wood. To minimize possible warping, frames and sashes are made not from solid timber, but from glued. You can buy ready-made, if there are reliable suppliers, or you can glue it yourself. In the second case, a workpiece of at least three lamellas is collected, so that the fibers are directed in opposite directions. If possible, choose radial sawn wood, tangential "leads" stronger. For gluing, use special, moisture-resistant compounds.

The cross section of the beam is chosen based on the number of double-glazed windows - for a window with one chamber, a beam of 6x4 cm is usually used. Under production conditions, grooves are chosen in the frame not only for the double-glazed window and external seals, but also for internal ones. One of the former manufacturers of wooden eurowindows shared his drawings, by simplifying which you can get high-quality structures that are almost as good as finished ones. In order to make, the drawings are quite suitable.

Considering that not everyone has professional equipment, and its purchase will nullify all savings and is justified only for the purpose of making windows for sale, home craftsmen choose grooves for double-glazed windows, external seals and fittings.

For these purposes, a milling cutter, a circular saw, a hand tool for finishing are used. Members of our portal are equipped with all necessary devices and Ravildon decided to make a window with his brother (nickname Halva senior) for his house.

Ravildon Member of FORUMHOUSE

We had manual, machine tools and other devices. We welded the table, attached a manual milling cutter to it, bought a micro-thorn cutter and a movable carriage, decided to dial the profile in length and thickness. A purchased profile costs from 1,600 rubles for six meters, so we will trim the finished timber, glue it, then gain in thickness.

Halva Senior Member of FORUMHOUSE

They made such a pepelats: I had guides with carriages lying around, welded the frame, attached a manual circular to the movable table, and it turned out to be the simplest impost. The grooves are rectangular, so you can do without shaped cutters. The cutting depth is regulated by a movable stop, the height - by a set of plates and rectangular pipes. The groove was cut in five passes, changing the linings, finished with a file.

The brothers trained on waste, the results were recorded in a journal in order to choose the most successful option in the future. And as they filled their hands, they began to manufacture the frames themselves.

Our other forum member used ready-made glued beams. The photos show this whole process in detail.

cyan__ Member FORUMHOUSE

I passed the purchased timber through a thickness gauge and trimming, on a circular with a home-made fixture (a high parallel stop with guides and rulers of 0.5 mm each) I made spikes and a profile, glued it, chose the fitting grooves with a milling cutter, hung the fittings - I checked how it works, removed it, polished for painting. There are no special tricks, but you must either have experience in carpentry, or first make a few frames for ejection - practice.

Since the double-glazed window is planned to be two-chamber, the total cross-section of the beam turned out to be 80x78 mm.

If equipment and experience allow, frame elements are cut obliquely, at an angle of 45⁰, and can be joined without a bevel, although less decorative, but technically easier. The parts are assembled on a spike-groove connection, with the vertical parts being lugs, and the horizontal ones being spikes. It is easier to make a single connection, but a double one is stronger and more durable, as the gluing area increases, and a triple spike is even stronger. When there is one spike, it is worth additionally reinforcing the frame with a corner, since the double-glazed window significantly burdens the structure.

Member of our portal cyan__ tells how to make a wooden window using a three-stud connection.

I made three spikes for myself and put them on PU D4 glue, on another glue and one spike under a double-glazed window, I would probably put a corner. As a test, you can glue one corner and test it for strength and deformation by loading it along the hypotenuse with a mass of one and a half double-glazed windows. Then it will become clear whether additional reinforcement is needed.

Corner templates

Halva senior I collected a box of two lamellas to make it easier to choose quarters and grooves for seals with a circular saw. Dried timber of the required thickness, neither solid nor glued, was on sale at that time, I had to get by with a material with a smaller cross section. But the beam was dry, already jointed from all sides. The frames were glued to a smooth fugue due to the lack of a comb of suitable width. To insure, the design was reinforced with self-tapping screws - obliquely, from the edge to the center (the fastener heads will later be hidden by a quarter). After the final purge with pneumatics, the finished frames were given to the eldest son for fine-tuning - for puttying

Industrially made windows are no better than the so-called do-it-yourself windows - the photo confirms this.

Grooves for fittings in the sashes are selected based on its variety and dimensions. To make your job easier, Halva senior I made metal templates, according to which I chose all the necessary grooves.

Halva senior

Before cutting the tenon groove, I prepared the grooves for the locks - I made a template from a bent steel corner. Holes - with a diameter of 8 mm, a hole for wrapping - with a diameter of 10 mm. First, marking the centers, then we drill 8 holes - a depth of 26 mm. I set the stop and combined the holes into a groove with a manual milling cutter, dimensions: depth 28 mm, width 8 mm. I managed without limiters in length - the boundaries of the groove are felt to the touch.

Chamfers, assembly, finishing

A cut or rounded corner is covered with a thicker layer of paints and varnishes than a sharp one, therefore, it is more resistant to all external influences. forum member Sukhov76 who made wooden windows for himself, advises his own way.

Sukhov76 Member of FORUMHOUSE

Instead of chamfers under 45⁰, it is better to round the corner to a radius of 3 mm - it looks more aesthetically pleasing and lies well under the paint. Paints and varnishes are “afraid” of sharp edges, according to the law of surface tension, on sharp surfaces the layer of coatings is thinner, and according to the law of meanness, it is the edges that are the most vulnerable in operation, and the coating is erased faster, while at the radius the layer is even and it is harder to damage it.

The assembled window frames and sashes are sanded and treated with special impregnations, then varnished or painted. In order for each subsequent layer to fit well and hold for a long time, all compositions used must be on the same basis, water, etc. The glass in the frame is fixed with glazing beads.

It is not enough to make a window with your own hands - the video on our portal will teach you how to paint it correctly in order to protect the surface for many years!

For the second floor of your house cyan__ he also made wooden windows himself, according to the technology already given. After the blanks were cut, grooves and tenon joints were selected, holes for fittings and frames were assembled, the final part remained - finishing and installing glass.

Primed and painted the outer white side. Then, having removed the paint drip on the masking tape by grinding in a couple of places - internal, translucent. Stain is not paint, it is easy to wipe off with a wet cloth on the white side. I installed the glass on the spacers and nailed the glazing beads - a copper-plated nail looks good after even ten cm. I sealed it with neutral (this is important) silicone, acidic can destroy the sealant of the package. I turned it over onto a sheet of foam rubber and sealed the back side, mounted the fittings, mounting plates and inserted it into the opening. The final step was to adjust the sash and insert the seals into the grooves.

Conclusion

Making a wooden window with your own hands is an opportunity not only to save money, but to prove yourself. For many years, a beautiful, eco-friendly design will remind you not of the money spent, but of your own craftsmanship.

Everything related to the technical parameters and features of euro windows, as well as step-by-step instructions, diagrams, installation subtleties and characteristics of products from different manufacturers are discussed in the section Details of the manufacture of wooden windows mentioned in the article are laid out step by step in the topic "". After studying the article about, you will learn how to get a high-quality and durable timber for future frames. How to replace wooden windows with your own hands without dismantling the old frame - a video about the new technology answers this question.

The advantages of plastic windows over wooden ones are considered quite obvious today. But ease of manufacture and installation does not mean quality and comfort.

Windows features

Spared from the ability to breathe, plastic double-glazed windows often create conditions that are unfavorable to health. In addition, suffocating air does not become cleaner even after ventilation of rooms with double-glazed windows.
Wooden windows, in turn, also have a number of disadvantages, the most important of which is exposure to moisture. But with proper care, a wooden window can serve for a long time and, due to its environmental friendliness and the ability to breathe, will allow residents of a wooden or other house to stay in a more pleasant state.

Wooden windows have an important advantage - environmental friendliness and naturalness.

How can you make a quality wooden window with your own hands? To do this, you need to follow a simple plan, as well as have some skills in working with woodworking tools. Making windows of the simplest kind has a memorable step-by-step character.

Training

Before making a new wooden window, it is worth preparing a number of tools, including a screwdriver and a drill, a hammer with a set of chisels and chisels, as well as an electric planer. If there are no ready-made glasses for the window, then you will also have to get a glass cutter. Additionally, rulers and other small devices will be needed.
From the materials you should take the wood itself, self-tapping screws, window hinges, as well as a sheet of glass.

The main task of the wizard at the first preparatory stage is to create a drawing. Sketches or drawings should contain clear dimensions for each element of the window.

When they are created, it is usually done to scale, respecting all relative distances. An improperly designed scheme can lead to a waste of materials or premature destruction of the window.

When buying lumber, it’s worth everything to buy them with a margin so that it’s enough. If you plan to make more than one window, then it is better to make one probe and then proceed from the amount of materials that actually went into making one window with your own hands.

Blanks

Wooden blanks for wooden window parts should be made from wood that is best suited for this. Pine wood is often used for windows, as they are easy to process and sufficiently resistant to moisture. Often oak materials are also used.

lumber requirements:

  1. drying at a high level (about 22-23 percent humidity);
  2. absence of chips, rotten knots and other defects.

Individual parts and blanks are manufactured according to the drawing. This must be done using conventional cutting tools - a jigsaw, a saw. It is better to grind already finished parts.

In some cases, glued beams can also be used instead of solid wood. Their main feature is that, due to the glued structure, the beams from many layers remain quite stable and do not deform for a long time.

box

The basic size of the raw material for creating a box of a conventional wooden window is a board with a section of 150 by 50 millimeters. The box consists of four boards, which are interconnected with the help of grooves and spikes made with a cutter or chisels. They are made dense in such a way that they fit into each other quite rigidly. In this case, all 4 parts of the box must be connected to each other strictly perpendicular.

The strength of the finished structure depends on the strength of the connection.

In order for the tongue-and-groove connection to gain greater strength, it is stitched through with a wooden rod, under which a separate hole is drilled.
The finished base of the wooden window is installed in the window opening, and the gaps between the box and the walls are foamed with mounting foam. It is worth noting that too large gaps between the walls and the box cannot be sealed with foam alone, since a foam layer of more than 5 centimeters can deform the box. Therefore, it is desirable to make a window opening of the optimal size with a margin of up to 5 centimeters.
In the case of a wooden building and walls made of beams or wooden log cabins, a pigtail is also used, the production of which has its own characteristics.

Window frame

Before you make a frame, you need to determine the base material for it. Window frames are made of beams with a section of 50 by 50 millimeters. The manufacture of window frames provides for one of two processing options - you can make both 1-glass and 2-glass profiles, which have 2 or 3 grooves, respectively (one for each glass insert and one for the box).

The grooves, as a rule, have a recess for glass sheets 10 millimeters high and 14 millimeters wide. The glazing bead, which will fix the glass, has a width of 10 millimeters (calculated on glass with a thickness of 4 millimeters). The groove for the box is a little larger and has a section of 15 by 20 millimeters.
Making wooden windows with your own hands is generally a simple process, just like assembling the most complex part of them (the frame). First, wooden window frames are assembled in the same way as a box was assembled. Their elements are connected using spikes and grooves, which are glued with glue.
Sometimes the frames are additionally fastened with metal corners (using self-tapping screws). Although the corners give additional strength to the structure, they negatively affect their static appearance.

Glass

Even if all the dimensions of a do-it-yourself wooden window, frames and openings for glass are known in advance, the glass still needs to be measured before cutting. This is important to know in fact, since a deviation of even 1 millimeter can cause the window to blow through.
If you accurately measure and cut the glass, then this will ensure a sufficiently high density of its connection with the base of the frame.

Working as a glass cutter requires skill and experience.

To cut glass, a glass cutter is used, the technique of working with which also needs to be mastered. If you don’t have the skills to work with cutting glass, then it’s better to ask a specialist about it or purchase glass of the right size in a store where it can immediately be cut to the specified measurements.

The edges of the glass are quite sharp, and therefore they need to be processed with sandpaper.

If glass is processed independently, then it is very important to adhere to safety precautions, the instructions for which have several important points. First, you need to use special gloves with rubber pads, since even the smallest pieces of glass can injure your hands. Secondly, it is desirable to protect the face with a mask, as well as glasses.

Before cutting the main sheet, make a few preliminary cuts to determine the optimum pressure on the glass cutter.

When cutting glass, you need to press it with optimal force. If you do not press it, then a poor-quality cut will lead to the appearance of chips on it. Otherwise, applying excessive force will cause the glass itself to crack, which will not only damage the glass, but also lead to injury and cuts.

When cutting, the glass cutter is carried out along a ruler, which can be made from almost any material. As a ruler, you can also use a regular bar.
After cutting, the glass is placed in the window frame, fixed with glazing beads. Sealant is applied to the wood first.

A window made of wood is mounted on a box. For this, self-tapping screws or window hinges are used. After that, the window sill is installed.
The simplest do-it-yourself window will provide the house with warmth and comfort, and will also be inexpensive.
If necessary, several such windows can be made and installed in a box from the outside and inside. Thus, it is easy to provide additional insulation for the winter.

With your own hands, you can create almost any device or element of the house that will be a reason for joy. After all, even a wooden window can not only replace a plastic double-glazed window, but also become a good test for the aptitude of a novice carpenter.
