Tip 1: How to set up slopes
After the installation of the plastic window, it is necessary to engage in the installation of slopes. Slopes help to bring the window opening to the aestheticmind. If you decide to install slopes yourself, you need to have information about the materials, as well as how to properly perform the installation. Slopes on the windows represent the insidewindow aperture. They are located on the right, left and top of the window. After dismantling the old window and installing a new one, the window aperture has a rather unfavorable appearance. This opening needs decorative decoration.
Instructions
1
If you still decide to do it on your owninstalling slopes on the window aperture, then you need to start with insulation. Warming of slopes of windows is carried out under a number of recommendations. In the insulation do not need the windows of the windows, which have the remaining effective insulation, which comes to the edge of the window box.
2
If you install slopes in wall panels that have stiffeners, then you need to use thermowell. They need to be located along the slopes of the window.
3
The choice of insulation must be approached seriously. The size of the insulation is calculated by the required heat insulation zone. It is best to choose a material that has good heat-shielding characteristics. Currently, heaters for window slopes are made of soft or hard mineral wool board, polystyrene foam, slab of polyurethane foam, and also a heat insulating plate that has a warming and facing layer. This layer consists of solid PVC or fiber cement. To maximize the warmth of the slopes of windows, you need to have a heater all around the perimeter of the window unit. Also it needs to be laid under the window sills. The heater must fit snugly against the insulated surface.
Tip 2: How to install slopes from a sandwich panel
Installation slopes - the final, but this does notless important stage in the replacement or installation of plastic windows. This procedure gives the window opening a finished appearance and increases the thermal insulation of the window. Slopes of the sandwich panel are distinguished among others by the simplicity of installation and increased thermal insulation properties.
You will need
- - sandwich panels;
- - plastic corners;
- - Roulette;
- - Saw disk;
- - mounting foam;
- - Scotch tape;
- - glue;
- Sealant.
Instructions
1
Start by measuring the window opening. Using a tape measure, measure the width of "W", the height "B" and the depth of "G". Record the results.
2
Take the sandwich panel and mark out three blanks on it (for one window). Use the results of the measurements. You should get two details in the size "V × G" and one detail in the size "Ш × Г".
3
Drill all the elements from the sandwich panel. Use a circular saw with fine teeth. To get the best cut quality, do not immerse the saw blade too deep. The depth of immersion should not exceed the thickness of the material by more than 3 mm. Use the guide rail.
4
Adjust the workpiece "W × H" so thatshe stood in the opening, by the edge of the frame for 2-3 mm (in the depth of the opening). Fill the gap with mounting foam and press the panel against the opening. Fix it in this position with the help of paint tape.
5
Measure the height of the window unit and in accordance withThis prepares the side details of "V × G" so that they fall into place. Put the panel over the edge of the frame, fill the space between the wall and the panel with the mounting foam and press the part. Secure it mechanically. Repeat these steps on the other side of the window opening.
6
Wait until the foam is completely dry. Remove the paint tape, fixing the panels, and proceed to decorating the slopes with a plastic corner.
7
Take a corner of the appropriate width and prepareit to the installation. Cut a piece of the desired length (for the top part, the length will be "Ш" + the width of your corner, and for the side pieces it's "В" + width of the corner). The side of the corner that will close the panel, cut to the size of the opening. The other part, framing the opening from the outside, cut at an angle (from the edge to the cut point to the size of the opening).
8
Glue the decorative corners, preliminarilyhaving removed a protective film from panels in a place of contact of the panel with an angle. If there are cracks in the joints of the panels, cover them with a sealant of white color. Completely remove the protective film from the panels and corners.
Tip 3: How to make window slopes
After installing new windows, take careon the decoration of slopes. This is not only a decision of the aesthetic plan. Slopes protect the layer of insulation and the location of the window fastening and do not allow external factors to render them unusable. You can make them yourself. It can be a plastic slope or a plastering. It is assumed that the windows are already installed and the gap between the window and the window opening is already filled with waterproofing layers and mounting foam.
Instructions
1
Clean the wall around the window right up to the wall fromold plaster, pieces of waterproofing, bitumen stains and any other garbage. If the mounting foam, due to a lack of installers, is too out of the window, carefully trim it according to the level of the window profile. Surface of the wall is covered with a layer of a primer with a deep penetration.
2
Mark on the windowsill and top of the windowopening of the edge of the slopes, 2 cm away from the edge of the profile and to the edge of the window opening. If the slope is greater than 15 degrees, then move the extreme point adjacent to the window opening. Similarly, mark the boundaries of the upper part of the opening.
3
For plastering, prepare the mortar,density resembling wet soil. Directly near the window the layer of solution will be the most. Throw it in small portions on the wall near the window and wait for a little to grasp. Continue to throw in the solution. When you reach the marked above and below the border, start using a wide spatula to level the layer. Wait until the main part of the solution again seizes, and only then apply the last layer of the solution with the leveling of the slope.
4
Plastic slopes are easiest to install. Secure the U-shaped profile along the perimeter of the window profile to fix one edge of the slope. Mark from the edge of the profile and to the edge of the window opening of the line along the sill and the upper part of the slope, as well as on the right and left side of the opening. On the edge of the window aperture with the help of dowels is fastened the return profile for the slope.
5
Before installing a slope, laya heater that will protect the room and window from cooling and the formation of cold bridges. Use mineral wool as a heater. Carefully cut it with wedge-shaped strips and lay it against the wall of the window opening between the profile of the slope. After that, snap the plastic slope, cut to the desired size in the profile.
6
To install a slope of gypsum board, fastenU-shaped profile, along the perimeter of the window profile, receding from the edge of the window by 1-2 cm. Cut off the strip of sheetrock required for the formation of the slope, 1-2 cm wider than the width of the slope.
7
Prepare a strip of mineral wool with a width ofhalf less slope and thickness equal to the depth of the slope from the window and to the middle of the window opening. Fasten with the help of dowels or mortar mineral wool close to the window on the wall.
8
Dilute the adhesive solution for gypsum board. Spread the solution along the edge of the window opening. Insert the strip of gypsum board into the profile fixed on the window, and lean against the edge of the opening on the solution. After the solution has dried, use a special float to drain excess material protruding from the edge of the opening and install a protective plastic corner. Apply a layer of putty on the sheet of plasterboard to hide the corners and profile, and prepare the surface for painting.
