Warm versus standard installation
The main difference between those two kinds of montage, is the seal between the window and the wall. Standard installation uses expanding foam sealant, while warm installation combines expanding foam with external breathable membranes and internal vapor-barrier film. In warm installation, expanding foam can be effectively replaced with expanding tape.
Why is warm installation better?

Thanks to warm installation of the windows, you will be safe from the wind, dampness and lower your heating bills.
