If installed incorrectly, even the highest quality and most expensive window will lose all its advantages. It is recommended to order the installation of PVC windows in accordance with GOST in the company where the structures were purchased.
This will make it possible to agree on the terms, and the installer will better understand all the features and nuances of fastening a particular window structure. GOST 30971-2002 was developed to protect the rights of buyers and ensure the required level of quality of services for the installation of structures with translucent elements provided by window firms and companies.
In this article we will look at what you need to pay attention to when installing PVC windows in accordance with GOST.
1. Mounting seam in three layers
The installation of metal-plastic structures is a responsible process that requires a serious approach to the issue of thorough protection from all external influences. The air temperature in any room is significantly different from the temperature outside. And in order to exclude the formation of drafts and condensate, the mounting layer is applied in three layers.
The core or middle layer is a one-component foam thatprovides sound and thermal insulation. When installing PVC windows in accordance with GOST, it is recommended to use foam with a lower rate of secondary expansion. This will eliminate the subsequent deformation of the window structure.
Outer layer. A special sealing tape is pre-compressed and glued to the outside of the frame just before installation. This tape, expanding, fills all sorts of roughness and irregularities, and also additionally protects against moisture and removes steam from the assembly seam. To protect the lower layer from moisture, GOST for the installation of PVC windows involves gluing a special vapor-permeable (diffusion) tape on the profile and opening.
The inner layer protects the mounting foam from moisture forming inside the room. This layer consists of several self-adhesive tapes that have vapor barrier properties.
2. Quality insulation materials
It is recommended, adhering to the GOST criteria, to install PVC windows from high quality materials.
3. Window installation technology in the opening
It should be remembered that the installation of PVC windows in accordance with GOST does not allow the use of only one mounting foam.
You need to choose fasteners based on the weight and area of the window structure, taking into account the strength of the load-bearing walls and the level of permissible loads. Anchor plates are inserted into special grooves. Anchors in the window opening are fastened with dowels.
Technology for installing plastic windows according to GOST -This is a difficult process that requires the employee to have high professional qualifications and in-depth knowledge. Only professionals can guarantee a completed installation.
Installation of PVC windows in accordance with GOST is a painstaking process, but the benefits of following it are worth it. This provides enhanced and multi-level protection of the seam from moisture and additional tightness, reliability of installation work and comfortable operation of the product.
