It is safe to say that properly selected materials and high-quality installation will be the key to reliable and long-term operation of plastic windows. Even the best design can be ruined by improper installation. Initially, the old window profiles should be dismantled. The window opening must be completely freed with a puncher, and also free from gaps and depressions. After completing these works, you can proceed to the installation of windows. Mistakes and negligence during the execution of this procedure in most cases lead to the fact that windows quickly fail. The technology of installing plastic windows can be divided into several main types.
The simplest variant is produced as follows. First, the window is arranged in the opening, and the seams are filled with polyurethane foam. Then, an external ebb is attached to the mechanical connection and the window sill is adjusted into the opening. The final stage of work is the collection and removal of construction debris. This plastic window installation technology includes an additionalinsulation. For this, expanded polystyrene is used, which helps to increase the level of heat and sound insulation at the installation sites of the window sill.
A more complex look - installation with vapor and waterproofing. To do this, use the appropriate tape, which is attached to the outside of the window, closing the mounting seam of the opening. It is designed to protect the mounting foam from moisture and improve the thermal insulation qualities of the slope. The vapor barrier must fit inside the opening.
After installing the window structure, the installation instructions for plastic windows also include the installation of additional parts. These include window sills, shutters, ebbs, blinds and gratings. The installation technology of plastic windows takes into account the presence and installation of all these additions at the measurement stage in order to prevent errors.
Properly made slope can improve the thermal insulation qualities of windows. Its decoration is carried out using carefully selected building materials. It may be necessary to additionally insulate the place between the finish and the slope so that it is not a place of cold penetration into the house.
Work should begin after the final drying of the mounting foam. First you need to put a cement pad on top of the free end of the waterproofing tape, on top of which to mount the ebb. The window sill must be installed on mechanical fasteners, after which a special foam should be applied under it. Further, the technology for installing plastic windows involves laying insulationunder the slope finishing material. Installation of finishing materials completes the process of decorative work.
Following the rules for installing plastic windows, the installed product will perform the necessary functions for many more years, because its quality and performance depend on it.
