## Abstract

A window frame insulation method for constructing a warm house of the present invention, provided in order to achieve the above objective, comprises: a placement preparation step (S10) for opening a portion of a wall body so as to insert a window frame before the wall body is formed, and forming a mold so as to form a stepped portion on the outer side of the wall body; a placement step (S20) for placing concrete so as to form the wall body within the mold; a preservation step (S30) for conservation of the concrete formed within the mold in order to prevent harmful effects; a window frame installment step (S40) for installing a window frame on the inner side of the opened wall body; an insulation material installment step (S50) for installing insulation material in the wall body except for the window frame; and a finishing material installment step (S60) for installing finishing material on the outer side of an outer insulation material.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A window frame insulation method for constructing a warm house, the method comprising:
preparing placement (S10) in which an opening is formed in a portion of a wall so as to insert a window frame thereinto before the wall is formed and a mold is fabricated so as to form a stepped portion in an outer side of the wall;
placing concrete (S20) in the mold in order to form the wall;
curing the concrete (S30) to protect the concrete placed in the mold from harmful influence;
installing a window frame (S40) to an inner side of the opening in the wall;
installing an insulation material (S50) to the wall excluding the window frame; and
installing a sheathing material (S60) to an outer side of the installed insulation material,
wherein the stepped portion is formed such that it is concave from an upper side and two lateral sides of the opening in an outward direction of the wall to an extent equivalent to a sum of a thickness of the insulation material and a thickness of the sheathing material and such that it has a depth that allows a stepped insulation material to be positioned further toward an indoor area than the window frame when the insulation material is installed to the window frame and the stepped portion.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The window frame insulation method for constructing a warm house according to claim 1, wherein the wall is made of a material selected from among concrete, concrete blocks, ALC blocks and bricks.

### Claim 3 (depends on 2)

The window frame insulation method for constructing a warm house according to claim 2, wherein, when the wall is formed of concrete blocks, ALC blocks or bricks, the opening and the stepped portion in the wall are formed in a manner such that mock-ups of the window frame and the stepped portion, made of a wood or plastic material, are temporarily installed and blocks or bricks are then laid.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The window frame insulation method for constructing a warm house according to claim 1, wherein the insulation material is installed to an outer surface of the wall along the stepped portion formed in the wall and the sheathing material is installed to the stepped portion so as to be perpendicular to the wall.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The window frame insulation method for constructing a warm house according to claim 1, wherein an insulation material is inserted into the mold and concrete is then placed into the mold so that the insulation material is disposed in the concrete.
