The condition of the seals is easy to check. You can also replace the seals yourself, if you know what you are doing.
Sealing windows can save on heating costs. Good seals ensure that heat does not escape from your home in cold weather.
Motiva, the national sustainable development company, recommends that seals should be checked once a year. You can easily check the condition of the seals yourself and for the handy ones, it doesn’t take long to replace them.
Proper seals reduce heating costs
It’s easy to see when seals are in bad shape: it’s time to replace them if they are cracked, torn or even coming loose. Seals that have become hard or too thin also no longer seal properly.
– In this case, the seals can also let moisture into the window frames. Then the paint surface can peel off in places where the water has stood.
Seals should be replaced as needed. In the worst case, moisture can enter through a broken seal and even cause moisture damage.
Intact seals help save on heat costs. Broken seals allow warm air to escape. When the gaskets are renewed, the temperature of the apartment with traction can drop slightly.
Gaskets are easy to replace, but an incorrect installation can be fatal
In Suur-Uski’s opinion, you can also change the seals yourself, but only if you have enough skill.
– It’s easy to put in the wrong size or the wrong type of seal as a replacement when you can’t find an exact matching product. Then you can go from the ditch to the spring and the window won’t get any tighter. The end result can be even worse.
When replacing seals, the old seals are removed first. Seals that have become stuck often come off easily by pulling, but sometimes you may have to pry the adhesive with a carpet knife.
Seals are often easy to tear off the window. A new seal is placed in the same place as the old one. …

The Värriö research station clearly shows signs of northern climate change. The climate at the research station in Salla is similar today to what it was 300 kilometres to the south just over 40 years ago.
Signs of climate change are most evident in the Arctic and the northern coniferous forest belt.
– The pace of change is so rapid here and there is no end in sight at the moment, so there is nothing to do but worry, says Mikko Sipilä at Värriö research station.
The atmospheric scientist bases his concerns on international studies and observations made at Värriö research station over the past 50 years, among other things.
– The temperature has risen here in December by four degrees in about 50 years, and the tree line has been getting higher and higher. The snow-covered period has shortened by three weeks in the last 40 years, Sipilä lists the changes in the climate of the Värriö area.
Finland’s expertise in atmospheric research is of an internationally high standard and has received worldwide recognition. At the Center for Atmospheric Science, very sensitive measuring devices have been developed, and researchers’ research articles have been published in a large number of prestigious scientific journals in the field.
