Plastic windows have high air-tightness

aesthetics - namely, how the plastic window will match the wooden wall, whether it will look foreign. In fact, many manufacturers have had a model line of windows specifically for wooden houses for quite a long time. In them, the plastic is practically indistinguishable from natural wood in color (you can choose a variety of shades, from light honey to stained wood) and texture

do not let air through - which is why the house has a musty, stifling atmosphere, and natural ventilation is disrupted. This situation is typical for a brick (reinforced concrete) house, but for a wooden one - this statement is only partly true.
In fact, wooden walls are “responsible” for the fantuan data air exchange and humidity regulation; the volume of air circulating through wooden window frames is relatively small. Therefore, metal-plastic windows installed in a wooden house will not have a cardinal effect on habitability in terms of air quality, but will help reduce heat loss.

How to install plastic windows in a wooden house: sequence of operations
The peculiarities of installing windows in a wooden house with your own hands are caused by the fact that wooden houses, especially in the first years, have a high mobility of the structure. This is due to the fact that the wood begins to lose stored moisture, while decreasing in volume. The worse the wood was dried beforehand, the more noticeable this process will be.

The house shrinks, which is especially active in the first year and continues for 3-5 years. At the same time, the height of the wall per meter of masonry, due to the drying of the log or timber, can be reduced to 1.5 cm. If you simply install a metal-plastic window, then due to the compression of the foam layer in the first year, the subsidence will not be noticeable. But already in the second year, problems with opening the window may arise, and in the future, at best, it will be blocked, but most likely - the glass, unable to withstand the pressure, will simply burst.
