When installing new windows, attention should be paid to not only the quality of profiles and reliability of the design, but also appearance. Even the best window system can spoil the interior of the room if you do not install the slopes on the windows.
As a rule, this work is performed by installer professionals. However, in the presence of skills with a hand tool and construction materials, it is possible to give the window a noble appearance independently.
Installing the slopes of plastic windows (the video of the process is attached to the article) - an important stage of installation.
The profile of windows from PVC profile is much narrower than that of a wooden frame, as a result, after a replacement, it remains no closed space throughout the perimeter. Sucks after installing plastic windows are just necessary in order to eliminate this disadvantage, as well as increase thermal insulation.
Installing PVC slopes The window can be performed in various ways. Traditionally, plaster is used for this, but with the help of plastic it can be done faster and easier. This is a material with a homogeneous structure with a profile of windows structure and therefore it is suitable for the aesthetic design of the elements of the window opening. You can get a perfectly smooth and smooth surface, which will be easy to care: it's enough time from time to a damp cloth.
Tools and materials for installing slopes
The technology for installing the slopes of plastic windows provides for the execution of this work the day after the installation of the window block. The mounting foam by that time already fully harvested and its surplus on the edges can be cut off with a sharp knife. In addition to this tool, you will need:
- - plastic lining with 8 mm thick - for one window you need 6 m;
- - plastic P-shaped starting strip and F-ka - special profile strip for edge design;
- - Wooden rail 10-15 mm thick;
- - insulation (sheet of extruded polystyrene foam, mineral wool slab or other material);
- - construction level, roulette;
- - perforator with a drill function and a screwdriver;
- - self-tapping screws of various lengths (usually 4.5 and 95 mm);
- - construction stapler, metal scissors;
- - White silicone.
Phased performance
Installing slopes on wooden windows
The design of the window opening after installing wooden windows requires a different approach. Plastic is not recommended: it is not combined with natural texture of wood. Eliminate all flaws of the surface with the help of plaster or use slopes made of wood. But this method is quite expensive, and in addition, wood processing should provide for drying with strict compliance with technology (the material should not "lead" due to dampness and temperature drop) and treatment with antiseptic composition.
Rational use moisture resistant plasterboard.
The technology of installation of slopes on the windows using this material is simple (the video "Installing the slopes on the window" clearly displays the process).
Initially, the side surface of the window opening is cleaned from dust, carefully processed by its primer. The measurements are made and the required parts are cut from drywall. Cutting this material is simple: on the drawn line the sharp knife is performed, and then the sheet is sharply bent, leaning on the edge of the table.
Installation of plasterboard slopes
The mounting of drywall to the separated planes is performed by a special glue, for the preparation of which a dry mixture with water is mixed in bulk tank. Next - on points.
Not all firms involved in the installation of plastic windows include the installation of slopes into the list of services provided. For the arrangement of slopes sometimes require a unreasonably high fee. In the presence of appropriate equipment, materials and basic knowledge, this task can be performed with your own hands.
Sucks protect the seams from moisture ingress and provide thermal insulation. There are several ways to install slopes: plastering, assembling sheets of plasterboard or PVC.
Installation of plaster slopes (sloping plaster)
Montage with your own hands of plastering will require a lot of time for execution. This method is usually chosen to restore already existing slopes during major repairs. To create slopes during the flow of cosmetic repair, it is better to choose other materials. After all, when performing plaster and putty, the bulk coating around the window opening will inevitably deteriorate. If in the process of dismantling the old surface of the rib of the slope crouched, it is necessary to install a metal corner.
Installation of Mayakov
Professionals carry out plaster on lighthouses - wooden or metal fixtures. If you need to "increase" a small layer, then you can doly and tags from the mixture with the addition of gypsum. Newbies are better to purchase ready-made plaster lighthouses. The first lighthouse is put in the window or the door block so that the layer of plaster lay on the frame at least 50 mm. During the installation of beacons, all distances are uninstalled by a building level or laser level. The second lighthouse is placed in the corners of the box. The distances between the first and second beacons should be the same throughout the perimeter of the window opening.
Plastering of Sunshove
For plastering of slopes inside the room, you can use gypsum dry plaster. Such a solution refers to quick-drying, mix it better, applying a building mixer. It is possible to apply this type of plaster with a thicker layer than cement-sand, which is important if there is a deepest potholes in old slopes.
The cement mixture is added sand at the rate of ½, if you need to apply the layer of plaster more than 3 centimeters. So layer harder harden. Before adding sand into the solution it is better to sift it. The outer slopes on the windows are treated with a cement mixture or a facade starting putty in combination with water-repellent additives. If there are plastic windows in the house, then before plastering, it will also be necessary to carry out thermal insulation. Otherwise, in the cold season, the glass will sweat greatly.
The plaster is applied in several layers, each of which requires drying. Initially, the spray is carried out, then the ground is 1-2 layer. The latter is performed the finishing layer. The next layer of the mixture is applied only after complete drying of the previous one. After that, the surface is sprinkled, thus getting rid of irregularities. It is impossible to put the putty with a thick layer. If you need to apply another layer of putty, the previous one is necessarily ground. The most latter layer is the finish, finishing putty. When drying, it becomes lighter. The next step is grinding, which is performed by grinding.
Small gaps in the places of the compound of the putty and the window or door block are smelted by a sealant that can be painted. The junction seat is cut by 2-3 mm by a stationery knife at an angle of 450. The resulting recess is so ground. With the help of a gun, the surface is covered with a sealant so that the groove is completely filled. The strip of sealant should be as smaller. For this cause greater tape. The sealant is flattered with a small rubber spatula, after that the painting ribbon is removed.
The slope surface must be primed up with a wide brush in order to prevent cracking and prepare for subsequent painting. Crab can be painted with solvent enamel. But recently acrylic paint is increasingly used. The decoration of slopes takes place in two layers. The second layer is applied after complete drying of the first. So the base will not be shuning through the paint layer. Performing all stages will take about a week.
Ducks from drywall
One of the advantages of plasterboard slopes in front of plastic is their practicality. In the case of minor damage or contamination of the top layer of plasterboard, in contrast to plastic, it is subject to repair. To return the downstream, the initial aesthetic properties sufficiently re-slip it, to open and carry out staining. To perform slips from drywall, the presence of special skills will not be required, but there will be a lot of time for their manufacture. Installation takes place in several stages: creating a frame (with a skeletal method), laying of drywall, spatlement, primer, and painting. Such slopes are durable and practical. However, they have a significant minus - absorb moisture. Therefore, for premises with high humidity and outdoor decoration, they are not suitable.
Laying of slips from drywall on the frame
The package of high-quality metal-plastic windows always includes a profile for mounting slips from drywall. The presence of the profile must be clarified directly from the manufacturer or from the supplier. In the case of its absence, you can apply a galvanized profile. Metal profile is also used to lay drywall on the slopes of door openings. Before installing the window block, the profile is mounted in the grooves provided for this purpose.
Usually, the installation of slopes is carried out on the next day after the installation of windows. Then the surface is treated with mounting foam.
Now the window block should stand out. After a day, plastic or wooden struts are removed, and the excess foam is cut off.
In the perimeter of the opening, and then along the docking line of drywall with the window block, screw the guide profile with screws. Frames are installed before insulation of the split mineral wool. The insulation is laid in voids between profiles. The angle of the slope is exhibited by 950. Plasterboard is mounted for a frame.
Regardless of the method of installation of slopes, drywall are grinding. The gaps between the sheets are sweeping. Only then proceed to the primer and painting. So that the angles are not resolved, a metal galvanized corner is mounted around the perimeter.
As with the plastering of slopes, in the places of the window frame and slope (in this case of drywall) make a recess at an angle of 450, they are wrapped with a painting ribbon and treated with acrylic-based mask. Acrylic will completely freeze in 12 hours. After that, the slopes are color.
Frameless method of mounting slopes
Frameless technology is rational to use when it is necessary to lay drywall on old slopes. To do this, purify the surface from previous finishing and building materials and produce primer.
When performing slopes along the already existing sheet of plasterboard, it is attached to the guide profile by self-draws and is dotted to the base of the "Perfilix" mixture. The glue prepared from this mixture is captured very quickly. Therefore, the plasterboard needs to be cut in advance.
For better fixation, plasterboard pressed the wooden bar, which is pumped by a rubber hammer. To support in the right position at the time of gluing the upper horizontal slope, use struts from the windowsill. The minimum time, during which it is necessary to fix the surface - an hour. Sucks leave for 2-3 days until complete drying. At this time, the outer edge of the slope (the place of dusting of drywall and the wall) is left open. So the glue will dry much faster. After drying the glue edges of the slopes are shuffled with acrylic. Next, the surface must be separated by the finish putty.
Plastic slopes
The easiest way to complete the installation of the window block is plastic slopes. They are easy to install, do not require special care, durable and moisture resistant. Depending on the stylistics of the room and the color range of windows, you can choose the necessary tone. For heat and sound insulation, the minvat or foamizole will be needed. Plastic slopes can be installed both "from scratch" and on an old wooden or plastered surface.
Types of plastic slopes
Plastic slopes are suitable for external and interior decoration. They can be installed on the day of the installation of the glass package. There are several types of PVC slopes: from foamed plastic, from plasterboard with plastic coating and slope Sandwich.
Plastic Sandwich Panel
Recently, slides from sandwich panels are often installed. Their cost is small, they are absolutely not afraid of moisture, there may be matte, glossy or with imitation of wood. The structure of this material resembles a sponge, thanks to which the slopes are better preserved heat. After installing such slopes, the appearance of condensate on glass is rare phenomenon. The reason for "fogging" windows in this case lies in an incorrectly equipped ventilation system. In the production of sandwich slopes, panels are used 1 cm thick.
On the perimeter of the outer edge of the window opening, we strengthen the rail from wood, the level of determining its location. The rail will take the load of the slope. Therefore, it is necessary to attach it reliably.
In the grooves set the starting profile. The slopes themselves are fixed to the profile, after which the insulation is carried out (the insulation is laid behind the plastic). The outer edge of the slopes is mounted to the wall using self-tapping screws, dowels, or brackets. The first method is the easiest. Do not worry that the hats of the screws will be visible. Self-tapping screws screwed up as closely in the panel and hide with plugs.
Installation of slopes using brackets is as follows: the first bracket is fixed to the wall, and the second to the slope. To each other brackets join self-drawing. The side slopes are fixed to the windowsill glue, then glued with neighboring. The gaps are treated with a sealant.
Suns from foamed PVC
The slopes from the integral polyvinyl chloride have a pretty smooth top layer, they easily cut with a grinder. In order to bend PVC at an angle, minor cuts are carried out in the seed ground. If you need to perform a break in the form of a semicircle, then better material than foamed polyvinyl chloride, not found. For the formation of the necessary arc make frequent cuts. However, it should be remembered that the furrows should not exceed one third of the thickness of the slope. Cuts are certainly treated with glue.
In advance prepared grooves in the installation foam, we apply glue and put the panel. As with the installation of the previously described in the way, the metal profile is secure to the box and fasten plastic into it. The space between PVC and the wall we blow the strip of the foam, leaving a small space for its swelling. Next, begin to fasten the profile to the outer corner. Docking places are treated with silicone, smoothing its surface with a rubber spatula or a damp cloth. The installation of slips from drywall with PVC coating is carried out in the same way as from plastic.
Installing the slopes with your own hands - a great way to get new skills and to save. A properly completed finish will help hide some of the shortcomings of construction and repair work and minor errors made during the installation of PVC windows.
Many are accustomed to the fact that the window slopes must be placed or placed. So they did until plastic panels appeared, since then the installation of window slopes has become much easier to install.
Installing window slopes with your own hands - choose panels
After the windows were installed in your home, the main and main problem remains. And as if carefully and qualitatively, there would be a brigade of installers, chips and cracking on the slopes will always be. To all other plastic window in size significantly thinner, wooden. For this reason, after installation, a strip of an inactive wall remains, which in any case must be embedded. For these purposes, it is best to arrange plastic slopes.
It is necessary to immediately note that the installation of panels is a very time-consuming process. If you have very weak ideas about this, it is best to contact professionals for help. But if you accepted a firm decision to do everything yourself, we will tell you about this in detail.
It is important to know that high-quality PVC slopes are quite thick. 8-10 millimeters thickness quite enough so that the slopes do not fake and had tough fixation near the window frames. In addition, the PVC slopes of such thickness have high thermal insulation properties, and if you use the minor, the most severe frosts are not afraid of your dwelling.
Plastic slopes are easy to wipe, for this reason they are recommended to mount in rooms with high humidity, for example, in kitchens, balconies, balconies, etc. Neither mold, nor damp plastic products "are not collectable". This is their indisputable plus.
Plastic panels have other advantages:
- Perfect appearance. Plastic slopes have a smooth, homogeneous surface.
- During the operation of these products, divorces and stains are not formed. And they can be brushed with water with any detergent.
- Plastic panels have a long service life.
- Installation is carried out quickly, after installation minimum dust and garbage, they do not need putty and painting.
- Excellent moisture resistance of the material used.
- High steam resistant.
How to install slopes - preparation for installation
Before starting to mount the window slope, it is necessary to check the mechanism of mounting the inserted window. This is necessary in order to immediately correct all inaccuracies (if any). If the window is not set correctly, the plastic panels will clearly show all the flaws in the installation of the window block. Before starting the installation of window slopes with their own hands, it is necessary to carry out a whole complex of preparatory work:
- trim over foam;
- if necessary, knock off the remnants of plastered slopes;
- check for strength brickwork in the area of \u200b\u200bwindow sloping for integrity;
- watch a hole for the windowsill;
- foam to salary vaporizolation material;
- seal through holes (if available) foam or cement mortar;
- remove with plastic windows protective film.
To the installation of plastic slopes, it is necessary to approach full responsibility and with knowledge of the case, otherwise the installation of window slopes will be incorrectly, which will affect the heat transfer and visual perception. Plastic panels are mounted only after the windowsill will be installed. It is important to understand that the installation of slopes and windowsides is two interrelated process.
Plastic slopes are usually installed using a P-shaped profile (starting profile). It is screwed to the edge of the window unit with screws for metal, the step of which is 1 cm. This operation is recommended to perform on the planned line on the window profile. There is a variety of starting profiles that are snapped to install the window on the plastic frame. If you decide to use this type of profile, then when buying is recommended to clarify whether the starting and window profiles are compatible.
How to mount the slopes on the windows - practical ways
There are several options that are most often found in the practice of builders. One of them is a gate. This method is good because the foam, which is in the discovery body, significantly increases the strength of the plastic product to the deflection. Also, the mounting foam is also adhesive and thermal insulation material. Installation is quite simple - foam is applied to the wrong side of the panels, and they are installed in their place. If you install slopes with your own hands, you must remember that the main task is to properly set off the plunder.
There is one nuance - to foam, expanding, did not deform the panel, they must be pressed against the wall for some time something heavy.
Another way to attach plastic panels, which strongly recommend manufacturers of this product is screwing to the profile on the outer edge of the slope. Selecting this option, you must understand that you will need to close the angle of the end. To do this, it is necessary to cut the strips of the desired width from PVC panels. With the help of a specialized rail, which has a latching corner, a plastic panel must be well fixed in the desired position. If you decide to apply the usual mounting rail, then in this case the panel is attached to the stapler.
After you secured all the panels, top and sides, ends between the wall and the slope must be closed with special. These corners "will extend the life" by your Wallpaper in the window of the windows.
The method of simple shuttlefish
Initially, the surface is ground, then the layer of plaster is applied, the angles are aligned. The rules are used to align the surface. Each new layer can be applied only after the previous dried. In this, by the way, it lies the main drawback of the method - time is not so much to work as waiting.
Special level rack is installed to the top of the panel. She serves as a lighthouse, so that the slope turns out perfectly smooth. On the sides of the slopes, the rails are installed vertically. To achieve maximum accuracy, the installation uses a plumb. The applied solution is best spinning with a special little low. After using a plaster mixture, the final step is to apply fine putty and rubbing it after drying.
I would like to note the fact that the installation of slopes is not the type of service to which the price is so high to save. Therefore, many prefer to hire specialists who in return to your money will save your time. You will only have to enjoy beautiful views and cleanliness with a minimum of costs. However, even behind the masters you need control, so these knowledge will surely come in handy.
Modern metal-plastic version of the balcony door and windows create a beautiful view and comfortable conditions. The installation of the balcony block consists of a number of simple operations, requires attention to small things, but in general the process is simple. Perform this work maybe a person who does not have professional skills in this area.
PVC Balcony Block consists of a balcony door and windows. There are different variations of this combination. For example, the window is located on the right or to the left of the door. Option is possible: Balcony door between two windows.
Each of the block elements can be other than the opening mechanism to have a folding. The windows also come and deaf that do not open.
The kit includes:
- slopes
- low tide,
- threshold,
- windowsill
- furnitura.
If you consider from what the balcony door consists is a box and door canvas. The window has a frame and sash.
Preparatory work
The space from unnecessary things and furniture should be released so that it is possible to install a new design, cover with a film that you cannot be taken out of the room, to avoid building garbage and dust.
To install a balcony unit, a place should be prepared for it by dismantling the old design.
- Remove the shutters of the windows and canvas doors.
- To remove a wooden frame, it should be cut in the bottom to cut with a knife. After that, remove parts from the goat, approaching the mounting scrap.
- Remove with slopes plaster if it is, with a perforator.
- It is believed from the surface of the outlook the remains of seals, insulation, mounting foam using a brush.
If the preceding design was also a metal-plastic balcony block, then it is starting to dismantle from removing all attachments, screws, linings from the frame after removing the inside of the doors and windows.
The discovery should be released from the finish to the capital wall.
Step-by-step unit of the balcony block
To work on the installation of the balcony door and the windows will need tools:
- bulgarian,
- pistol for foam,
- electrolovik,
- roulette,
- screwdriver
- level,
- perforator
- rubber cizyanka.
- drill,
- stationery knife,
- a hammer,
- corolnic
- marker,
- metal scissors,
- mount.
Assembling balcony block
Before installing the plastic balcony unit, you should connect the door design and window to one unit. To do this, you need to put the window block with a balcony door on the upper sides, docile the side parts. Between them should be located connective bar. It is necessary to test well that the upper sides of the frames that were on the floor were on the same line. For this operation, it is necessary to choose a smooth surface.
Tip: If the window has a movable sash, it is necessary to remove it for convenience for convenience. In the door balcony block you need to remove the door with loops.
Two sets are connected by screws. For them, holes are made at a distance of thirty centimeters from each other in the door of the door block and begin twisting structures from its inner side. After that, it turns out a single balcony unit.
Choose fastening elements
The balcony unit can be attached with:
- copily
- anchor plates,
- anchor bolts.
Each of the types of fasteners has its advantages and disadvantages and can be selected for work.
Tip: Choose for mounting anchor plates. In this case, it is possible to install without separating frames and double-glazed windows.
Preparation of the balcony unit to installation
On the two side and upper horizontal surface of the frame fix the mounting plates. They are joined by screws. Fifteen centimeters are retreating from the corners of the structures and plates are installed so that they are rotated to the inside of the block. Between the extreme plates, you need to attach intermediate at a distance of 50 ÷ 70 cm. Screw to skip in the middle of the width of the block into the profile deepening.
On the perimeter of the block from the outer edge, the psyl tape is glued. This is a sealing element prescribed by regulations in order to protect against moisture and ultraviolet rays of the mounting foam.
If provided, at this stage, the brackets are screwed to the mount. Try the grid to evenly cover the discovery, outlines the installation locations of the brackets and attach them to screws.
Montage sequence
Consider how to install a balcony block with your own hands:
- If the threshold includes the kit, then you can immediately start the installation of the unit. In the case of its absence, it is necessary to start installing from it.
It is recommended to use plastic mounting wedges, and not wooden - Block put on stands (mounting wedges), After the end of the work remain in place, are not removed. They are provided for each vertical element of the unit. In order for the design to orient in the space strictly vertically and horizontally (transverse elements) uses coasters of different heights.
- Temporary fixation in the goiter is also made using mounting clins.
- Check the level of correct location in the planes: horizontal and vertical. Wedges make correction of errors. It is convenient to use them as paired elements. The construction level is placed on the horizontal element of the block. If necessary, be corrected - the hammer is wedged in the right direction. After that, the level to the vertical component of the block is applied and adjust its location by the wedges, which are installed on the left and right between the block and the wall.
- Now fix the block fastening in advance of the prepared plates. They are neatly extension and pulled up to the wall, so as not to move the block-tested in the space. To attach the plate through the hole of one of them drilled by a punching hole in the wall, depth of eight centimeters.
Screw to this hole screw the screw, connecting the plate to the wall. And so consistently fasten all the harvested mounting plates.
Installing a low-end balcony
- From the blank, the molding is cut off with scissors for metal along the intended line part, which corresponds to the width of the window.
- On the side of the balcony, the drain pattern is installed, screw the screws to the profile from the mounting kit.
- From the outside of the window, you can, at will, install decorative corners. Plum connection gaps with a wall from two sides are filled with sealant.
Sealing gaps by mounting foam
In accordance with the standards, the upper horizontal seam should not exceed the width of twenty millimeters, and the side between the block and the wall can be up to fifty-five millimeters depending on the size of the structure. From the side of the room you need fill the gaps with mounting foam, leaving a free one-third of the space. It will be a technological clearance that foam will occur after frozen and expansion.
In order for the foam to pass all the necessary technological stages, the seams are left alone for a day. After that, the excess foam frozen foam is cut with a special knife. High-quality seam should not have emptiness in its structure.
Installation of additional details
Installing the balcony block with your own hands is almost completed. It remains to finalize the details.
Device of the windowsill
The windowsill is customized in size so that it began to become well under the window. Its width must allow you to push it when the window is installed for two centimeters.
From pieces of wood, the bars should be made, which are led by the detail installed to avoid its deflection. Bruks are chosen in size to provide an angle of inclination of the windowsill in two degrees.
The element is carrying a cargo, and after filled with the joints of the mounting foam. The load is needed that the frozen foam does not raise the design.
Filling the joints of the window sill:
- first at the connection site with the window,
- sidesways
- under the windowsill in the place of connection with the wall, but not to the very edge.
After a daily technological break, you can remove the cargo.
Internal slopes
Sunsions on the balcony unit can be plastered or installed decorative part - special internal slopes. Often, the kit includes a sandwich panel. They will make the appearance of slopes with modern and aesthetic, moreover, insulate the discovery .. The answer to it you will find in our article.
Tips on the organization of lighting on the loggia. You will learn how to carry out electricity to choose the right lamps.
Sequence of work:
- The segments of the starting profile are harvested along the size of the length of the upper frame and side surfaces.
- Billets are fixed with screws around the perimeter of the block from three sides.
- Measure the necessary sizes for the top panel and side parts.
- Cut panels of the desired dimensions.
- Insert panels into a screwed starting profile, first the upper part, and then the side items.
- One edge of the panel is obtained by fixed in the profile, and under a part of the panel speaking into the room, the gap between the element and the wall splashes a small amount of foam, slightly rendered the design and pressed then into the place to the wall. Until the frosting of the foam, the slopes on the project provisions are held with the help of painting tape. After a daily break, the tape is removed, the excess foam is cut off.
Decorative plants
- Cashbinds are harvested (F-profiles) of the required size.
- Dress details on the ends of decorative panels, in the corners it is necessary to connect under forty-five degrees.
- The locations of the side and upper panels, as well as the bottom of the side decorative elements with the windowsill close up with silicone sealant.
Installing a balcony block video
Here is a video of our article on how to install a balcony unit yourself. In it you will find useful tips from professionals.
The durability, reliability and stability of windows depends on the quality of the installation of slopes. Sucks provide tightness, heat and sound insulation. With their incorrect installation, the window will not last long and functionally, and soon it will have to replace it. Therefore, it is very important to choose the right to choose the type of slope that is suitable for your windows, and, install it correctly.
Types of window slopes of their dignity and disadvantages
Depending on the location of the slopes, they are divided into internal and external or external.
Internal slopes are located directly indoors and are not carried by a special functional role, except for tightness, and also act as designing joints between the window and the wall. Unlike them, the external slopes provide sound and thermal insulation, protect the room from moisture, heat and temperature difference.
Depending on the material from which the slopes are made, allocate:
- Plaster
- Wooden
- Drywall,
- Plastic
- Sandwich panels.
1. Slipping from plaster is a classic option. The installation of such slopes will require at least two days. Since the plaster after applying should dry. And then it must be seized, to give her smoothness. After grinding, internal slopes, it is processed by primer and stained with water-emulsion paint.
2. Wooden slope for windows. For windows made of natural wood, wooden slopes are ideal. At the same time, the design of the room will become more aristocratic and exquisite. For the manufacture of such slopes choose the best wood, carefully dried and processed. Therefore, wooden slopes will also serve as long as, for example, plastic. One of the essential advantages of wooden slopes is their environmental friendliness. After all, a tree is a natural material that does not release toxic substances, in contrast to plastic.
3. Slopes for windows of drywall. Dumps from drywall are used with significant damage to window openings. They close only internal openings. Plasterboard slopes allow you to get rid of extra moisture on the windows. First you need to knock all the plaster and cover it with a primer. Then the sheets are installed from moisture-resistant drywall, and between them put the insulation: foam, mounting foam or mineral wool. Next, this slope is ground, paint or discharge according to the interior design. And on the junction between the wall and the slope glue the corner. The lack of such slopes is that during prolonged wetting, drywall slopes sweep.
4. Window slopes from plastic. Plastic slopes are more expensive than plasterboard. Such slopes are ideally suited for plastic windows, since the temperature drops have the same thermal expansion coefficient. This eliminates the possibility of cracking between the window and slopes. The slopes from plastic are suitable for finishing both internal and external slopes.
5. Sandwich panels - as a variety of plastic slopes. Sandwich panels are a kind of plastic slopes. Unlike plastic, sandwich panels consist of three layers, two sheets of plastic and the insulation between them. Sandwich panels withstand temperatures up to 45 ° C, thereby providing protection against moisture and cold. Of all the window slopes, they are the most expensive.
Installing slopes on metal-plastic windows
There are three types of slopes suitable for PVC windows:
- Plastic
- Plaster
- Plasterboard.
For the finishing of plastic windows, the slopes made of plastic or sandwich panels are best suited. Plastic slopes are used after installing plastic windows. To better figure out the technology of their installation, you will get acquainted with the tools that will be needed during the work:
- Plastic panels,
- Starting strip
- Corner
- Profile,
- Self-tapping screw
- Insulation: Polyfoam, mineral wool or mounting foam,
- Silicone pistol,
- Screwdriver,
- Scotch,
- Bubble level
- Putty.
The technology of installation of slopes of plastic windows is not too complicated if you understand everything carefully:
- To begin with, from the outside, remove all excess mounting foam. You can do this with the help of a building knife. Next, you need to shake all the cracks using any mixture for outdoor and internal works, depending on the type of slope.
- Using the level, measure the size of the internal slopes. Install the wooden frame on which our plastic slope will be mounted. The starting strip is installed at the bottom of the window frame.
- At the wooden frame, attach a profile. With the help of foam, mineral wool or mounting foam, the insulation will be overtaken.
- Now set the plastic base. To do this, it is enough to simply fasten it on the profile, and the jokes to handle silicone. This technology for installing slopes on PVC windows for external and internal slopes is absolutely the same.
See the installation of slopes of plastic windows - Video:
Advantages of installing plastic slopes:
- The lack of serious pollution of the room.
- Since plastic copes perfectly with thermal insulation, electricity savings are guaranteed.
- To replace the window, it will not be necessary to repair the entire room.
- Plastic slopes are easy to clean and do not collect dust.
- Sunshine performs the absorption function of moisture, thus, eliminates the appearance of mold.
- Plastic slope is made of the same material as the window, and therefore will last, the same rows.
Plaster slings for metal-plastic windows
Plaster slings are also installed on plastic windows, but have more flaws than advantages. First, it is bad to keep warm, which means that the windows are guaranteed. Secondly, plaster slings will also not last long as plastic, because with time cracks. Thirdly, it will take a long time to install plaster slips. Since such slopes are laid, and for the drying of each layer, you must at least two days. The advantages of sloping data is the cheapness of work and versatility.
To install plaster slips, we will need:
- Plaster mix
- Perforator
- A hammer,
- Dowel
- Self-tapping screw
- Screwdriver,
- Level,
- Putty knife,
- Corolnic
- Primer.
Installation stages:
- Before you start work, make a protective film on the window sill, do the same with the window, if there is no special brand film on it.
- A painting knife we \u200b\u200bclean the surplus of the mounting foam. Next, soil and warm future slopes. Polyfoam stick around the perimeter of the slope.
- Next, the lighthouses should be installed and a solution of plaster. It is recommended to use ready-made cement solutions based on plaster or cement.
Tip: Before applying the solution, attach the plaster mesh over the foam.
- The plaster should be applied first with a wide spatula at a right angle, and then recall the surface at an angle of 45-50 degrees.
- Grind, soil and paint
- Soil, sweat and beautiful
Plasterboard slips for metal-plastic windows
Plasterboard slopes are installed only indoors, the use of outer slips from drywall is unacceptable.
To install plasterboard slopes on plastic windows we will need:
- Moisture-resistant plasterboard,
- Profiles and guides,
- Metal screws,
- Mounted knife
- Dowel
- Level,
- Insulation
- Screwdriver
- Perforated corner.
To properly install the slopes on the windows, you must perform a number of such actions:
- We measure the distance from the window to the place of the future slope. Consider the width of the drywall, the drywall is best suited a thickness of 12 mm.
- After measured the distance, set the walls on the wall.
- Install the guide profile. Its outdoor side should go through the line, and the profile itself must be behind the line.
- Next, the lines on the floor and the ceiling and nail the following profile.
- When the frame is ready to insulate the slope. As well as when installing plastic slopes, using mounting foam, foam or mineral wool.
- According to the displayed profiles, we measure the slope, and cut the required dimensions with the mounting knife.
- The next step is the assembly of plasterboard slope. Using self-tapping screws, screw the plasterboard.
- Using a perforated corner, check the corners.
- At the joints of the drywall glue glass either or phlizelin.
- Next, we carry out finishing works: putty and paint.
Tip: To install dust from drywall, choose moisture-resistant plasterboard, as moisture is assembled in the corners and mold is formed.
There is another option to install slips from drywall. It is sticking them to the surface of the slope. To do this, first remove the knife to clean the surplus of the mounting foam and the surface of the surface. Then align the slope with putty. Measure and cut out sheet metal sheets of the desired size. We stick them with a special glue for drywall.
Tip: When sticking plasterboard sheets, the finish putty is also used, which is not as fast as glue, so it is ideal for the one who makes such slopes.
Installing slopes on wooden windows
For wooden windows, a wooden slope is best suited from the same tree as the window itself. It is advisable to install a wooden slope on the second day after installing the window so that the mounting foam has time to dry.
To install a wooden slope we will need:
- Mounted knife
- Primer,
- Screwdriver
- Self-tapping screw
- Wooden platband.
Thread the future slope must be in advance, to prepare the fusion of the desired size. Next, cut off the excess foam and the surface of the surface. Then we install and attach the slope, connecting the slopes with each other with the help of screws.
Another type of slopes is suitable for wooden windows - these are cork slopes, made of drywall, covered with a cork oak crust.
Advantages:
- Installing such a slope does not take much time
- Ecology,
- Excellent noise and heat insulators.
Disadvantages:
- Cost.
- Very soft, easy to damage.
To install the cork slope, you need to install a profile, and it is to attach the sheets of the required size. Next, insulate with the mounting foam space between the sheet and the window. Then handle the joints with silicone.
For wooden windows, plastering and plasterboard and plastic slips are also suitable. The technology of installation of slopes on the windows, both on plastic and on wooden, in this case the same.
