Greetings, my handshaws!
How to install plastic windows yourself - We will try to get an answer in this article.
With the onset of spring, many of us were combed by hands, feet swept and suspicious itching appeared in one place! No, it does not mean that the hands begin to grow out of this place, although it may be quite possible - most likely it is an exacerbation of spring hands. So it's time to break, turn, repair, build, and of course handicapped!
Not so long ago, I decided to make budget repairs in the room at my daughter. And since the "deaf" room, I decided to make the opening in the wall and install a plastic window into it.Why precisely metalplastic? Yes, because thanks to such properties, like: heat-sheath, tightness, light installation - metal-plastic windows are firmly entered into our life. Such a slogan - put and forgot! I will not argue that the old, good carpenter is much eco-friendly - this is true, but today it is not about that!
IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW
My hands must warn you that there is one negative nuance with a self-installing - this is what the firm's guarantee is lost, where you order a product. My advice to you - you should not be afraid of this, as you can independently.
Firms selling plastic windows provide services for their installation and often silent the fact that it is possible to refuse. To competently measure and install the PVC window, it is not necessary to be a professional. This work, although painstaking, is not too complicated, special knowledge is not needed here. It is advisable to be able to handle the perforator and have straight hands. And besides invaluable experience, you still do not save me!
Tool
Required tools and materials for work:
If all of the above is available, then you can proceed :)
As I said - usually in apartments and houses plastic windows put instead of old wooden. Dismantle wooden window relatively easy. First you need to remove the flaps with glasses. To do this, they need to lift and remove with loops. It is often impossible to raise the frame with my hands, so it's better to use the mount here, if you certainly do not Arni Schwarzinger!
The window without flaps looks like a wooden frame with a vertical crossbar in the middle. This crossbar should be cut in half to remove the frame was easier.
Before removing the frame you need to remove the windowsill. IN multi-storey houses Old window sills are usually reinforced concrete. They are not easy to remove them. Here you need a sledgehammer, with the help of which the windowsill you need to beat off the bottom up, and then pull on yourself. If it did not help, then we drill a little deepening and lay dynamite. Gilt the wick, waiting and the old window sill as it did not happen. Guys, if what, then I joked :), or then you never know?!
When dismantling the window block, you must first break out and break the sawn vertical crossbar. After that, the window frame is removed in parts, starting on top. When the dismantling is completed, you need to clean the window opening from the construction trash and insulation. It is also desirable to remove fine garbage and dust using a brush around the perimeter of the entire window opening.
This is what concerns dismantling the old window, but I had to make the window opening from scratch. To do this, in the wall, in which daylight will soon be shedding, I had to post future dimensions of the window. Usually, first, but I have everything on the contrary - I caught up the opening of the window :)
With the help of the perforator hollow out the opening (sorry for quality)
Then I strengthened the window open with metal jumpers
Looked all the irregularities and the opening is ready!
So, here's actually the perpetrator of the celebration.
A window of some Turkish company acquired in Lerua for 4500 rubles. Dimensions - 1200 mm per 800 mm.
To facilitate installation, you need to remove the windows from the window. Usually, when buying new windows, the manufacturer is intentionally not clogs the headquarters too much to be able to remove them freely, but if you do not see the gaps, then the spatula in your hands. Act care, not to leave any chip or dents on the window itself. Easy clutches should be free to exit.
Due to the fact that I have a window only with one sash - I was decided not to remove the glass, but simply remove the window sash with the loop. To do this, in the upper loop, I neatly knocked the rod and just removed the leaf from the bottom loop.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW:
Friends if you have a window of not very large sizes, it is better to insert it with anchor plates to once again not disturb the integrity of the factory assembly.
Methods for installing metal-plastic windows two.
Most often, plastic windows are installed on canopies. The second method called an anchor installation, suggests removing the glass blocks from the window block, and then the plastic block to drill from the inside and fasten with anchors to the window to the window. Sheds are installed much simpler, the window is not required to disassemble in this case.
So, consider both ways to more.
So, this is perhaps the most popular installation option.
Canopy is a bar with a locking mechanism and holes. Sheds are mounted directly on the window every 50 cm and with an indent from the edges by 20 cm. They are also called anchor plates.
We put the window in the opening, pre-laying under it wooden barswhose width should be slightly larger than the width of the future metal-plastic windowsill. Naturally do not forget about the level.
We separate the window with wooden "bobbs", and if there are plastic, it is generally good.
We celebrate the pencil or marker of the point of drilling under the canopy. Then remove the frame and drill holes.
We put the frame back and intimidate fasteners.
As you can see, the absence of anchor plates attached ordinary building suspensions. Many criticize me, but I want to make a reservation immediately - I am generally not a supporter of the anchor plates, since all sorts of wind loads and the like have a place to be. Therefore, for proper Installation Plastic window in a brick house - I later reinforced the anchors window.
Fresh suspension, pre-drumped hole - the perforator to help you.
We throw a window, pre-mix the walls for the best adhesion of foam and walls.
After complete drying, we cut a surplus of foam.
This method is considered more primitive than installing on canopies, as the risk of damage to the window is large.
IT'S IMPORTANT TO KNOW
Friends, if you have large windows, then only an anchor installation will be suitable, as it is the most reliable and durable.
So, consider all steps to install step by step:
After the window is collected, it must be used. All further operations on trimming foam, the installation of window sills is absolutely no different from the installation of metal-plastic windows on the canopies.install the windowsill and mount the squeeze.
Good luck and spring hands!
Currently, plastic windows are recognized as one of the most common and demanded structures. They can be installed both in the conditions of an urban apartment and a private house. You can cope with such work, not only with the involvement of specialists, but also independently.
Today we will analyze in the most detail how the plastic windows need to be installed correctly, as well as consider what the features of these popular designs are concluded.
It's no secret that standard wooden window frames have long ceased to be the most popular. Today they are much less common than before. Reducing their demand is due not only to the care of care, but also the fact that more practical structuresMade of high-quality plastic.
Plastic windows in our time are the most optimal and relevant elements of the living area.
Such products have many positive qualities. Work on their installation is often carried out by the hosts of the dwelling, and not hired masters. Thus you can significantly save money, because the services of specialists today are not suiced.
A distinctive feature in conducting such mounting work It is necessary to carry out them not only in the conditions of the average city apartment.
To contact the installation of plastic windows can holders "Khrushchev", brick / wooden, panel houses And even gorgeous cottages. This indicates the universality of such structures. Of course, in this case, we are not talking about plastic glazing balconies, because here the rules are a little others - we will have to take into account the technical condition of the loggia / balcony to be confident in the reliability and wear resistance of the living space.
A feature of such assembly work is that they first need to be carefully prepared. In any case, it is impossible to neglect this stage in any case, otherwise the installed structures will not be quite reliable and durable.
First of all, it will take to conscientiously prepare the window opening for future installation work. If there is an old window in it, it will be necessary to remotely and carefully dismantle.
Plastic windows today are not rare. Many consumers choose them, and it is not only the relative ease of installation of these structures. Consider in detail what the pros and cons of such sought-after products lie.
To begin with, you will get acquainted with positive characteristics.
But do not decease. If you want to install plastic windows in your home, then you it must be familiar with their shortcomings - perhaps it will affect your final choice.
An important role in plastic window structures is played by micro. If there is no comfortable and optimal microclimate in the room, then this may lead to the windows to accumulate condensate. To avoid the problem of fogging window structures, you need to choose the options in which micro-taking. This system works on the principle supply ventilation. It is activated by the movement of the handle - it is exposed to a specific position.
If you are planning to install PVC windows in the house / apartment, you will have to take into account many features and nuances. It is very important to adhere to the requirements of GOST 23116-99 and 30971092.
The violation of these simple rules may lead to the fact that the result of the work performed you will simply disappoint and have to do "work on errors."
Many experts argue that the direct installation of plastic windows cost only after a detailed acquaintance with their structure / construction. Thus, it will be much easier for you to exercise such work.
Plastic window is assembled from the following important elements.
Drainage holes are located on the outside of the frame. They are usually closed using special caps. Through these components, condensate penetrates into the street, which is formed in the inside due to the difference in temperature indoors and on the street.
Knowing, which consists of a window design of plastic, you can move to its installation. The first step in carrying out such works will be measurements.
Before you go for the purchase of a plastic window, you should competently measure the window opening, in which you will install the design. The scheme is simple. In this case, it is necessary to take into account, with a quarter, or not.
Bases with a quarter, as a rule, are present in buildings made from such material like foam block. Such components significantly reduce heat loss from residential space. In the opening of a quarter, you should order windows with a length of less than 5 cm than the same parameter of the opening. From the width parameter, it is necessary to subtract 3 cm. The gaps along the contour of 1.5 cm will be suitable for applying foam, and the addition of 3.5 cm to produce a window sill. In accordance with GOSTs, it is recommended to leave 2 cm around the perimeter.
For the organization of the window opening with a quarter, all measurements should be carried out to the narrow segment. The windows are usually ordered, plus to the width parameter about 3 cm. The length does not adjust.
Most often, the windows are not fixed in the center of the opening. They put them, making an indent from the outer part by 1/3 to the depth. If you are going to put the PVC window on your own, you can make a shift in the other side in which you wish. This circumstance must be taken into account by ordering windowsills and outdoor salts. The width parameters of both constituents calculated in accordance with the immediate location of the window are usually added 5 cm.
At the calculations of the width of the windowsill affects the parameter as the battery position. Note that the windowsill must "hide" the radiator not more than half. You also need to add approximately 2 cm for the title under the framework of the window. The most modest reserve in the length parameter can be 8 cm, however experts recommend not to skit and add 15 cmTo cut this item as careful and aesthetically.
Ordering the window, you will definitely need to indicate in which amount and which specifically parts should be in the product. We must not forget about the specification of the presence / absence of muffuhary. It will also be necessary to determine how the window will open and close. When ordering, you will need to specify the desired type of accessories / components.
If you are going to purchase and install a PVC window for a balcony, then measurements will have to be done a little different.
The windows located on the side, in the setting of the balcony, it is necessary to calculate in the same way, only by width in this case should be subtracted 60-70 cm for an angular profile. For junctions between the window and wall overlap, 25-30 cm will be required.
If you are measured in a private house or an old erection, then experts recommend to knock down the pieces of slopes on each side at the measurements of measurements.
This action is required, since in many cases the window opening dimensions significantly exceed the dimensional parameters of the window itself, and the remaining space is closed by cement or the insulation layer, which often simply falls out when the previous design is easily removed.
As mentioned earlier, before installing plastic windows, it is very important to correctly spend preparatory work. Do not forget that only those PVC structures are allowed to install, which were produced on special industrial equipment and fully comply with all produced measurements.
In the course of preparation work it is required to take into account that the width (as well as the height) of the extermination itself must be 2-5 cm more than the window. It is necessary to make it possible to form the required three-layer installation seam.
The easiest PVC windows are mounted in new buildings, since it is not necessary to produce the most complex preparatory work - dismantle old window designs. However, if the latter is available in the home, then they must be removed.
Old windows are usually removed, starting with dismantling of the sash. Usually at this stage, the masters do not have any problems (of course, if the frame did not fully rotate).
If there is a fully rotted frame, then it is better to have a better to withdraw glass so that they accidentally fall out when dismantling the sash.
As for the framework itself, it is permissible to remove with different methods. Many of them are very gentle, but requiring more strength and time. At the same time, the frames are in no way damage and remain entirely (they can even be used in the future). As a rule, the old frame structure is cut using a disk saw, and then it is blissfully removed by parts. It is also necessary to remove any old seals and insulation materials.
Before dismantling the old window, there should be furniture and techniques in the room with a plastic film, since there is always quite a lot of dust during such work. If a carpet or palace is present in the room, then they are better transferred to another room. In the same way, you can go with furniture, but most owners prefer to just cover it.
It is very important to scrupulously clean the window opening from any garbage and dust. It is impossible to leave the old sealant. If there are notches or cracks on the walls of the opening, the diameter of which exceeds the mark of 2 mm, then in accordance with GOST, they need to be chipped with high-quality plaster or putty. Many home masters neglect this process because it takes a lot of time, because to dry out the same plaster mixture there is 5-8 days. Throughout this time, the opening will remain open.
However, it is possible to refer to special mixtures of fast drying (gypsum or polymer). Such formulations will significantly reduce drying time. If you use similar solutions, then you will have to wait for them to secure only a few hours, not days.
As mentioned above, to mount the plastic window, it is necessary to qualitatively prepare the window opening and one of the steps of work is to dismantle the old window.
We will analyze in more detail how to do it.
Remember - the opening must preserve its initial integrity. If you still damaged this basis, then from the defects formed will have to immediately get rid of it, otherwise they may cause drafts that penetrate the residential premises, wear of the accessories and disorders of the design.
If you have prepared a frame to install a new PVC window, remotely removing the old one, then you can move directly to the installation of the acquired plastic design. In this situation, it is necessary to strictly follow the instructions, as in carrying out dismantling work.
Currently, there are two basic methods for installing plastic windows:
If you have chosen the option with unpacking, then you need to drill in the frame of the hole, through which anchors will be screwed into the walls. This method is quite complicated, but the attachments in this case will be more reliable.
If you decide to install a plastic window without unpacking, then you need to attach plates from the metal from the outside. Then they will need to attach to the walls. Of course, these actions will take much less strength and time, but such a fastening is considered not the most reliablebecause in the case of significant wind loads, the frame can seriously skew. She can also sane. If you do not want to disassemble the window, you can refer to fixation on the plate, but it is not narrow and thin, but tight and wide elements that are very often used during the installation of rafter systems.
Compact PVC windows, set on special mounting plates, in the absence of serious wind loads will preserve for many years and will not give any trouble. But in the event that you live in the region, where there are powerful and gusty winds or your apartment is located on a high floor, it is better to refer to the method with unpacking. Read more each of the specified methods for installing plastic windows.
To begin with, we consider how the installation with unpacking is carried out.
In this case, you first need to carry out all the necessary measurements. Measure the window frame and opening. Be sure to make sure that these components are suitable for each other. Next, you can proceed to assembly work.
Consider the process of disassembling the window.
So you remove the sash. Then you need to remove the glass on the pleahara. The elements are held thanks to the strokes. They should be removed, after which the glass pack will take off without any difficulty.
The strokes must be removed according to the following scheme.
After that, you can move to the removal of the glass package. Be careful as possible because it has a lot of weight. If you do not work, you should remove another post.But it is important to ensure that the window is in the inclined position and the glass does not fall. Further, if necessary, it will be possible to replace the glass windows with your own hands.
The refined frame on the outer perimeter needs to be saved by a self-adhesive ribbon. Its installation is recommended by GOST. With this component, the window will not be strongly fastened.
Remove the film from the design with the manufacturer logo. If it is not removed, it can be melted under the action of aggressive sunlight and "fuck" to the frame, and then it will be very difficult to remove it. The frame must be inserted into the purified opening. To put it, you will need to contact special mounting wedges. They are always fixed in the corners and under the impost. Other elements put as needed. Lining, the window is important to set exclusively in accordance with the level in 3 planes. First fix the location of the window canvase. It is for this that the records for installation will be created.
Next, take a drill and drill that coincide in size with the diameter of the anchor fasteners. You need to do holes under the fasteners. From the edge from above, it is necessary to retreat approximately 150-180 mm. In this place will be the first hole. The lower hole must be located at a similar gap from the angle below. Between them in the usual window it is necessary to fix 1 more anchor: the largest gap between the two fasteners should not be more than 700 mm.
Having done a hole, you need to make sure that the frame did not shift from his place. This will require a level. Next, nourish the anchor and tighten it well. But note that it is important not to rearrange: profile, in no case should not bend too much. This operation should be repeated the required number of times.
After that, go to the installation of sings.
The main subtleties of the installation work are described above. With this method, the installation starts from fixing the fasteners plates. They are 2 varieties: p-like and linear. Need to choose the most reliable and dense options. It is necessary to fix them at the same distance as the anchor fasteners - 50-200 mm from the edge and not more than 700 mm between the details in the middle. They must be screwed using self-samples to the profile.
In the future, work on the installation of windows with your own hands with the use of mounting plates in the same way as with the above method, starting from the PVC-window setup phase in the opening using a level. But it should be attached not to the frame itself, and the plates and not with the help of anchors, and dowels-nails. You need to drill a hole, bend the plate, lock the dowel, and then set the plate into place and screw the dowel. Further actions are similar.
Another important component of the new plastic window is recognized as a reflection. It is required to put outside. For this purpose, on technology, first on the outer half of the frame is glued with high-quality vapor-permeable waterproofing (it is desirable to use self-adhesive materials). On the side planes of the window opening it is necessary to do small strokes, in which the edges of the waterproofs subsequently are installed.
On the plane of the opening from the outside, where the tide will be relying on the wall, you need to apply a layer of mounting foam. In some cases, when the height difference is too impressive, a special lining profile is fixed in this place. Subsequently, the tump will be attached to it. Cropped according to the necessary parameters, the sampling is boated under the protruding portion of the frame, after which they attach to it using self-samples. On the edge of the bottom, the sump also need to fill in foam.
After that, it is necessary to join the window itself.
If you install the PVC windows in summer, the gap between the frame and the opening must be sprayed with water using a spray gun. This phase is required to improve the polymerization of foam.
According to the contour of the framework design, it is necessary to glue a steam-insulating waterproofing tape, which is also recommended by GOST. Next, you need to take a cylinder with foam and fill the remaining intervals by 2/3 of the volume.
In the case when the gaps are too large (more than 2-3 cm), the foam should be laid in several stages. Between 2 layers need to wait a little time - approximately 10-15 minutes. When the initial layer is slightly fixed, it also needs to be sprayed with water, after which to start applying the second. You need to repeat these actions until the volume is filled with 2/3.
Do not wait for absolute polymerization. Enclose the free edge of the heat insulation strip to the window to the window. But you need to pay attention to the fact that using the tape should be installed light plastic slopes. This is due to the fact that neither plaster, nor any other solution, will not be laid on such thermal insulation.
After the work associated with the low-end installation, it remains only to go to the window assembly and the finishing of the necessary elements.
If all of the above works you have done, you can proceed to the immediate assembly of a new plastic window.
Start your work with the cleaning of glass and rubber bands in the frame from dust and any other contaminants. If necessary, with the help of a conventional blade, it is necessary to remove traces of black sealant left on the glass.
It should be noted that on the frame in the part where the glassy itself is fixed, with the inside of the profiles there are special inserts of folds. They are put on top of them, which plays the role of a kind of strut for the package. Inserts on the side of the side and the impost need to be moved to the center.
On the liners below you need to lay the plates with the same thickness. Please note that they should be laid so that they are located at an angle, and not along the tab. Simply put, one corner of the plate should be dried into the rubber, and the diagonally located closed the grooves intended for the stroke. This stage is required, because not in all cases the width of the richt plate is suitable for the glass density parameter. Often it has more modest parameters.
If this plate is installed along the profile, one glass, located from the edge, will simply remain without support. In the process of fixing the stroke, this glass is squealing the side surface to the same plate and from the formed strong load crawls. In order not to face such an unpleasant situation, the plates are placed at an angle in relation to the framework.
Next, on the plates you need to put the glass and press it to external gum. At the same time, it is necessary to lift the glass in the lower part (for this it is permissible to use the blade - it will be more convenient) and correct plates: to push out the outstanding corner areas under the package, but not to a greater depth, and so that they act as a support of all three glasses. These parts should not be strongly issued to outward and prevent stroke fixation.
Next, it is necessary to check whether the glass is equally in the side areas per gum. If it is required, you need to conduct correction work using a shovel. This tool needs to move the package to the right or left. After adjusting the position of the glass package put the strokes at the top and below.
If there is no such tool useful fitlike a molding (plastic or rubber), then the strokes can be scored a hammer handle. You need to do it, starting from the ends and moving towards the middle.
Before moving to the clock mounting, it is necessary to run the double-glazed plates on the side sections. To this end, we previously moved the side folded inserts on the frame and the impost closer to the center. Now it remains only to put the straightening plates on them, applying a shovel again.
Please note: the plates need to be put in the same way as the bottom items. It is necessary to ensure reliable support for all three glasses in the package.
First, the side heads should be inserted with tips in the groove, starting with finite parts. After that, they are clogged, as at last stages: Starting with the ends, moving towards the center.
The next step will be the installation of the sash. Before this is recommended to install special caps on the loop. They are quite difficult to establish if the sash is already present on the frame. This situation implies a special lid called "snail". It is fixed on the corner loop on top of the sash, as well as on the frame loop at the bottom.
On the sash you need to fix the handle horizontally. To do this, you need to check the microlift vertically down vertically. Otherwise, the handle is blocked.
Specialists advise you to check that the handle is installed correctly: horizontal accessories must be located in the central position (not on top or bottom, but only in the middle - between 2 risks located nearby). After that, you can move to the installation of the sash directly on the frame structure. It is put on a loop from below, and then in the loop, on top of the corner section of the sash, it is fixed with a pin, pushing it up until the latch is triggered.
In order to the pin as easier as possible entered the hinge hole and not stuck, the sash should be segged (you can press a slightly) to the frame. In this location, the longitudinal plot of the pin will coincide with the protrusion inside the hinge hole.
When assembling the PVC window, you need to be very attentive and careful. Also, you can not forget about checking the correct stroke of the disintegration of the design. Check out the level of fixation of the design. For example, in the opening position at 45 degrees and 90 degrees, the sash should not be fused or spark by itself. When you spend all the required checks, the sash will be able to reliably close and move to a further step - sealing gaps.
In order to overlap the remaining gap between the window and the wall overlap, most often use high-quality polyurethane based foam. This material Choose many consumers, as it is tested by time. The polyurethane sealing composition will be able to provide excellent sealing and thermal insulation of the joint. However, do not everyone know that over time and with "meetings" with the external medium, the foam loses positive propertieswhich is why it starts to collapse.
To guarantee her protection, you need to take care of the installation of a high-quality hydrobarmer from 2 sides, which surround the seam. This process neglected many unfair installers. Moreover, few at the right time is engaged in the fixation of the slopes in order to somehow protect the foam. As a result, many owners of apartments and private buildings windows can begin to freeze or mate.
In order not to encounter such problems, from the inside the window is glued with a vapor barrier film. It is necessary to glue it around the perimeter, but you should leave the untouched bottom.
Concerning The outside side, it also will also need to stick a membrane moisture resistant. This material will be responsible for protecting the mounting foam from atmospheric precipitation, and will also contribute to the removal of moisture from the insulation of the insulation.
As for the lower inner edge of the window structure, it is necessary to glue the waterproofing strip with a foil surface. She will hide under the windowsill. Send the strips within the distance remaining between the wall and the window, and then moisten all the basics with water. Next should be made of the gap. It is recommended to give preference to a special all-season mounting foam. It will be convenient to apply it using a pistol designed for similar compositions.
When you fill the gap, the foam will again need to moisten a slightly, using a sprayer. Next, stick to the wall around the perimeter of the window insulating tape (and outside, and inside).
Installation of window blocks does not end on the installation of sings and overlapping seams. Another important component of such designs is the windowsill, which is also not worth forgetting about the installation.
The windowsill must be cut on the edges so that it is perfect and clearly in the opening, went under the frame and "stuck" in the profile of the lining. On extreme remote areas, the windowsill should be on the wall overlap (50-100 mm). Using pegs, it should be set to the installation mark of this part with a small bevel inside the room. Further the space under the windowsill is required to close the mounting foam or fill with a solution.. With the use of screws 4x75 mm, the windowsill should be attached to the frame. Fasteners should be screwed from inside in extreme sites and in the center.
Many owners of wooden housing are asked if it is possible to put plastic windows in them. Yes, in such conditions, the installation of such structures is possible, however some nuances should be taken into account.
Olocha (or obosyachka) is an important part of When installing plastic windows in suburban dwellings. Most often, the library is treated in the conditions of wooden and brusade erection. These elements are a box that put in window and doorway. They are responsible for the preservation of window structures from deformations and the appearance of the gaps.
If you are constructing the souls, then you will need:
Do not rush to remove the branded film from the window design immediately after purchase. It is advisable to do this upon completion repair work. It should not leave the film on the frames, since over time, their removal can become a big problem.
If you take out the glass, you must be as cautious as possible. This is due to the fact that non-acceptable manipulations with the strokes often end with the scratches and chips on the glass.
Repair of plastic windows can be made in your own hands. Most often, the owners face the problem of adjusting the sash. In addition, you can change the window handle or sealing materials. An independent replacement of the glass package is possible, but it is permissible to transmit it, only if you are confident in your capabilities. Otherwise, it is worth contacting the specialists.
Usually, a special side plugs are included with the windowsill and lowers. From their installation should not be refused.
If you put the anchor plates in the conditions of the opening of concrete or brick, then you'd better prepare small recesses under them. They will be needed so that it does not have to lay an excess equalizing reservoir before fastening the slopes in the inside of the room.
In order to move the dew point, it is recommended to make marks with different levels of density.. The foam layer facing outwards is not too thick, especially if you compare it with an internal layer. On the perimeter, the foam is permissible evenly, without leaving skipping or emptiness.
Note that the slots between the wall overlap and the window frame should be filled with a mounting foam, if they do not exceed 4 cm mark. If the lumens are too large, they are recommended to partially close the cheap materials such as plasterboard, foam or brick.
If you decide to put the PVC windows in a frame structure, then you need to consider that it will be possible to go to these works after:
Internal vaporizolation and outer insulation must be installed with a small margin in the openings. If you are going to install PVC windows in frame house without floors, then you can not do without using scaffolding. With these designs, installation work will be easier and faster.
Before you go for the purchase of high-quality plastic windows, it is necessary to consider that the profiles of these structures are divided into classes:
To make sure that the PVC profile is safe from an ecological point of view, you need to request a quality certificate for purchased products. These documents usually indicate all the necessary information. The composition of the window structures should not be aggressive chemicals that can harm human health.
If you want in your home there is always warm, you should order windows with power-saving windows. Of course, they cost more simple optionsBut the funds spent on them will pay off soon due to the total reduction in energy consumption.
The technology of installing plastic windows in a brick house is different from the installation rules of the PVC profile products into concrete or panel walls. It is important before the start of installation work to understand these differences and avoid errors.
Installation of plastic windows requires a set of tools and consumables.
Plastic windows in a brick house can be installed on anchor plates or bolts. Their dimension depends on the depth of the quarters in which the product will be attached, as well as the quality of the brick, from which walls are posted. It may be gas-silicate, foam concrete, etc.

If the installation is made in the secondary residential fund, before installing the window, you must first remove the old frame from the opening. This will require:
To dismantle it will take a small lomick. If the frames are sufficiently massive, then to facilitate the process of the broom, you can use a hand saw on a tree or an electric bike.
For drilling holes for fasteners, the perforator will be required, for fastening the frame on the anchor - the screwdriver. Still need a construction knife with replaceable blades, level, good quality Construction pistols for foam and sealant.
The installation of plastic windows is a multi-step process. At each stage it is necessary to use various consumables:
Mounting wedges are needed for level alignment, if necessary, they are put under the coach profile.
Mounting foam — insulating material To fill the mounting seam, t.
The rules for the installation of plastic windows explains in detail the GOST R 52749-2007 "Sewage mounting window with vapor-permeable self-sewing ribbons. Technical conditions" This Gosstandard prescribes before starting to install the window in the opening, it is implicated at its perimeter.
This self-disruptive material is an independent mounting layer that cannot be closed by plaster, putty, paint. Otherwise, the insulation material will not fulfill its functions.
By inserting the frame into the window opening, you should adhere to tolerances. The deviation of the window box in the horizontal and vertical plane should be no more than 1.5 mm per 1 m long, but not more than 3 mm for the entire height of the window.

Rama is attached to K. brick wall According to the following rules:
The insertion block must be checked for deviation from the level and simply on the perimeter.
Cuts around the perimeter and foam insulation is only 2 parts of the two-layer filling of the assembly seam described by GOST.
After propution of the frame, it is necessary to remove the installation wedges from under the coaching profile and fill the foam formed emptiness. For better adhesion, the inner surface of the window opening before marching can be moistened with springs.
Before installing low tide from the outside, it is necessary to stick a water insulation vapor-permeable ribbon. Singing is screwed to the coaching profile with self-draws. The edges of the popular need to be hooked on external slopes to avoid moisture from entering it.
From the inside of the window around the perimeter (except for the lower horizontal part of the frame), vaporizolation is glued, which provides an additional sealing layer of the mounting seam and isolates it from moisture. Such a tape is produced in various widths and can be glued both under the wet decoration of the slopes (plaster) and under dry (slopes from polystyrene or plastic). Release and universal tapes for slopes.
Under the submap board also places vapor barrier: full-bought tape with a foil layer.
The frame installed in the opening and stamped around the perimeter must be collected.
In the deaf, non-opening parts are inserted with double glazing. To stack (fix) installed double-glazed windows, a plexiglamic hammer of medium sizes will be required. The strokes are cut at an angle of 45 ° and inserted into the frame around the perimeter of the glass package with some effort. For the Strapik finally snapped, it must be slightly sweeping with a hammer.
If installed window block It has opening flaps, you need to hang them on the loop. With this task it is easy to cope, since modern window fittings are very easy to operate.
But put the sash in place is not enough. It should be checked for its performance and, if necessary, adjust in the looping part using a special adjustment key.
To check how accurately at the level there is a plastic window, you need to open the sash. If it is inertia, it does not slam or open wider, it means that the block is installed correctly.
Installing wooden windows, like plastic, can not be considered complete if the windowsill is not installed. The windows board snaps and attaches to the coaching profile.
In case of detection when dismantling voids under the window, you can fill them with a heater, for example, a roll or tile, and then install the windowsill.
For final finishes, the opening should be understood how to install the slopes. They can be placed either to assemble from sandwich panels from foamed polystyrene foam.
In the last version of the panels are cut into the size at the place, taking into account the geometry of each slope. The p-shaped plastic profile, called a different starting, is screwed to the frame close to the slopes. The panel is inserted into it. Empties are fought.
Foam is a sealant of polyurethane foam, which, due to its properties, requires a certain time to complete expansion and solidification. As a rule, from 1 to 24 hours.
In places, adjoining the wall of the sandwich panel is closed with a decorative profile, most often F-shaped.
The adjoining of slopes and the frame to the windowsill is prone to a sealant.
Mount the window from the PVC profile and install the wooden window - not the same thing. Installing windows in a brick house is conjugate with certain nuances. It is required to have all the whole required tool, including adjustment keys for window fittings, as well as fixing fixtures and special mounting tapes.
It is equally important to choose the correct installation foam and sealant. Alternatively, the latter can be used as the latter liquid plastic. This is a special adhesive adhesive, which hardly solidifies, but also creates a particularly durable hermetic seam.
If you are not sure that you can cope with the installation yourself, better resort to the help of specialists.

Installing PVC windows with your own hands is a simple process that does not require special skills or technological skills. Immediately after the delivery of new windows home, you can start independent installationWhen spending some time. But it is necessary not only to install - you need to prepare a workspace, stocking tools and avoid possible errorswhich lead to negative consequences.
So, you already have ready-made PVC windows that can be put. First of all, it is necessary to dismantle the old window frames and prepare the workspace for the subsequent installation of new double-glazed windows.
Dismantling is very easy - just a few tools will be required. This is a fomka, a screwdriver, a hammer and a chisel. Disassembly is made as follows:
First Stage - We carry out the dismantling of old windows
As a rule, many builders neglect all the rules of dismantling - a wooden window sill simply cuts into parts with a grinder, and concrete is broken with a perforator. The frames also cut into parts, after which they come from the opening of individual slices.
After dismantling old window frames there will be a lot of construction garbage. On the surface of the opening, the remains of the old insulation, plaster and fine garbage (sins, sawdust, etc.). All this must be removed from the surface of the opening. Ideally, before installing new PVC windows, the window opening should be presented or neat brick masonry (if the house is brick), or smooth and smooth concrete slab (if the house is panel). All irregularities, cracks and chips are embarrassed by plaster and align.
Window drive ready? Then it is necessary to check the state of PVC windows. It is necessary to inspect the block for the presence of deformation, after which check the completeness of all parts. Be sure to check the presence of the following components:
After everything is checked, you must prepare instruments for installation work.
To install PVC windows with your own hands, you will need the following tools:
As a rule, installers are limited to a smaller set of tools. But, since you need to make the correct installation of the plastic window with your own hands, and these windows must be installed securely, it is recommended to use the list above.
You can spend two ways to measure - with a quarter and a quarter. Consider more each of these methods.
In the stripped and pre-prepared window opening, the PVC window is carried out. To order the window, you must conduct the following calculations:
The formed gaps will subsequently blew by mounting foam. As a result, the following parameters are obtained: an indent is 1.5 centimeter from the side of the opening and 2.5 centimeters from the top and bottom.
After that, the windowsill and drain are measured. Each value obtained must be increased at least by 6-7 centimeters.
Measurements are carried out as follows: the window opening is measured horizontally in a narrow place. The resulting value must be increased by three centimeters - thus the desired window width is determined. The vertical direction is measured from the base of the window opening to the upper quarter - thus determines the height of the window.
At the end of measurements, you should get indicators:
In most cases, GOST on the installation of plastic windows is exclusively advisory. However, we recommend adhere to the basic requirements - this is necessary, first of all, for the owner of the house.
There are two installation technologies. Installing double-glazed windows can be done with your own hands. with unpacking windows and without unpacking. In the first case, you must fully disassemble the window - remove the strokes, pull the double-glazed windows, and then fix the frame using anchor bolts in the opening, and then mount the double glazing and strokes. In the second case, the window does not understand, but is attached using special fastening elements, anchor plates, without the use of through fixing with dowels. The first method is considered more difficult and requires certain skills of work. That is why we will consider only the second case, as most preferable for most orders.
Before starting the installation of windows according to GOST, it is necessary to create your own plan. This can be both an independently developed drawing and an instruction that goes in the configuration from the manufacturer. Following the plan will help perform work without errors and with maximum accuracy.
Works are performed as follows:
We use the following rules when installing a plastic window:
Tip: When the window frame is fixed with the fasteners, there is no need to delay all the screws. Only after the design is finally fixed, you can bring fasteners until you stop.
The windowsill goes in one set with metal-plastic windows. The master itself determines what his width should be. Measurements are performed, after which the windowsill gently cut under the desired length. Next, the windowsill is set as follows:
It can be installed both homemade sings and the one that comes complete with a metal-plastic package. If you acquire a drain, then you need to take into account that it is mounted using self-tapping screws to the bottom profile, and the part of the window should protect the area of \u200b\u200bthe profile connection with the drain. The drain itself is mounted extremely simple: a profile is mounted on the window opening, after which the drain is fixed on it. For additional protection Fastening places are placed by mounting foam.
The technological features of the marking are written on a cylinder with mounting foam. Each wizard can make sure of it independently, having familiarized with the detailed instructions indicated on the cylinder. The process of polymerization of foam is catalyzed with high humidity. That is why before starting the sealing process, it is necessary to moisten the place ordinary water. In the absence of moisture, the polymerization will not be high-quality enough.
After the foam is freezing, it is necessary to gently cut with the usual stationery knife. Do it carefully, so as not to damage the metal-plastic windows.
Tip: Do not stand the first time to fill the entire cavity of the mounting seam. To begin with, it is necessary to apply a little foam using the mounting gun, wait for the time, as long as it will swell, and then re-apply the required amount.
Both newcomers and the masters may allow mistakes when installing plastic windows. As a rule, the most common are the following:
In order to avoid common errors, it is necessary to install exclusively according to the instructions and in compliance with technological features.
As an output I would like to note: Installation windows PVC Do not make any difficulties with their own hands. The entire installation process of a single glass unit is continued for one day. At the same time, not only the installation process itself is taken into account, but also the time spent on dismantling, sweeping and preparation. As a result, you will receive not only reliable design, but also significantly save your own funds.
We hope our description technological process The installation of PVC-windows will help you in further construction work.

The popularity of plastic window systems is caused by great advantages, in comparison with traditional wooden frames: better sealing and, therefore, heat capacity, lack of need to restore the sash every year, convenience. Even the cost of PVC windows in view of the advantages does not seem to be unbearable - these are long-term investments. Save on acquisition, perhaps with self-mountwhich does not require the purchase of special equipment. But the understanding of the installation process is required by a scrupulous - further, how to install plastic windows with your own hands.
Technological openings in apartments and houses are different in size, form and other signs. In order for the future to be perfectly installing a high-quality unit of glass packs, a number of events are required. before mountingOtherwise there is a risk to be disappointed in your own work. Ideally, the installation of windows is made by the design company. Only so in case of marriage you can require replacement or compensation. If you want to save, it is important to consider the question - how to install a plastic window correctly. Consider step by step.
Window openings rarely differ perfectly proper form - deviations in width and height differ significantly. From how correctly the calculations are made, the final result and long-term operation will depend on.
How to correct window measurements:
IMPORTANT: for the exact result of measurements, use a plumb - a twine with a load and a level - water or laser level. They will definitely show the curvature of the opening.
Make an immediate dismantling old Rama - It is impossible. Even when the exact durations of the delivery of the glass package are known, there is no confidence that for any reason, the designs are not delayed on the way. Only when blocks stand in the apartment, proceed to manipulations with them. Installing plastic windows with your own hands should occur in dry, windless weather, with air temperature not lower than -5⁰s. Cold weather requires special mounting foam.
Stages of preparation for the installation of PVC windows:
Important: Old plastic double-glazed windows are removed in a different way.
The design must be disassembled, otherwise the pulling will hurt the wall. First, with the help of the chisel, the strokes take out the glass to remove the glass. Next, by turning the handle of the flap on the ventilation mode, they free the hook of the lower canopy and remove the sash. In the same way, new double-glazed windows to the insertion are disassembled. Alone, the work is not conducted - glass windows are heavy, and it is difficult to keep them. In addition, fit will be, more precisely, if you work together.
Traditional method of mounting glass PVC - fasteners through the frame on the self-tapping screw. Such windows are somewhat cheaper, since additional components are purchased independently. Advantage of the method in reliability - you can drill extra holes, precisely adjust the design.
The second way is considered strengthening the design of the PVC window with "native" reinforcement - spacer mounting plates. They go to the glass package. Minus - wall alignment is required before markingOtherwise, the consumption of composition will increase. Specialists do not consider this method reliable, as the design is fixed only for the strength of countering spacers and foam. In addition, there are few of them, up to 5 pcs - manufacturers do not take into account the fact that the opening may differ curvature and other defects.
The choice of mounting foam for PVC windows is described in detail, as well as a comparison of goods from different manufacturers.
Depending on the construction material of the walls - brick, aerated concrete or wood - installation PVC The windows will be varied, due to the different density of raw materials and its physical properties. So, for composite blocks and wood, it is required to carry out waterproofing work, and for natural material Even strengthening in the form of a box.
Before installing plastic windows with their own hands in a brick house, required strengthen the coaching profile. It is fixed on an anchor or self-tapping screw.
Important: You can not miss the foam of foam under the tump. It will save it from damage due to the loads of the design, water and melting snow.
Not recommended to operate the window immediately. So that the design remains lasting for a long time, must pass at least 20 hours. How to install plastic windows with your own hands - video below to help you.
Natural building material is characterized by shrinkage, affecting the change in the window opening and the design of double-glazed windows, up to the extrusion of the frame and cracks. Therefore, the installation of plastic windows in a wooden house (video below) is different from the traditional. For destruction does not happen, it is recommended to collect a wooden box for the PVC window, which, in turn, is established as follows:
To install the window to a house of aerated concrete, it should be remembered for high hydrophobicity of porous building material, and in addition to the seal, it takes another sealing of the entire opening. And the installation of plastic windows in a house of aerated concrete does not have differences from mounting into a brick or wooden opening.
In order to operate installed window passed troubled, follows adjust accessories - clamping loops, plates. For example:
