Staying warm in winter and avoiding the heat in summer is a real challenge for owners of country properties. One of the most vulnerable places through which heat escapes are windows. In this article, we will consider how to insulate windows in a country house from the outside, and also talk about roller shutters as an economical and safe solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_is_window_insulation_so_important\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Why is window insulation so important?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Window insulation allows to significantly reduce heat loss, prevent condensation and, importantly, create a comfortable microclimate in the house. If the windows are poorly insulated, this can lead to an increase in energy consumption for heating. According to experts, up to 30% of heat is lost through window structures. Thus, high-quality insulation is not only a matter of comfort, but also savings.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Methods_of_insulating_windows_from_the_outside\"><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Methods of insulating windows from the outside<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">There are several methods for insulating windows.
