Installation of plastic Windows with their hands
The contents
It is unlikely that today you need someone to prove that modern plastic Windows with double-glazed window is better than those systems that we used before. Because they are many advantages, providing extremely reliable protection against external noise and cold. However, not all know about how the replacement of Windows with new plastic or how is the installation of plastic Windows in a newly built house.
Naturally, many want to achieve maximum savings, in connection with which they carried out the installation of plastic Windows with their hands. Moreover, despite the complexity of the structure of Windows and installing them on any object in the majority of cases, causes no complications and not requiring the use of specialized tools.
As will be? ↑
It is worth noting a few steps that can be performed independently for installation of plastic Windows:
- measurements;
- dismantling of existing structures;
- prepare the new Windows;
- installation.
Then, how will measurements, you will be able to call any relevant to your condition firm that can manufacture Windows. In such company you will be able to order plastic Windows in full compliance with their requirements, as well as to find out how much the plastic window. With the install order, respectively, do not.
Often it happens that the warranty applies only to those window constructions that are installed by a specialist company in accordance with the instructions. Because the company understands that if the installation process will be admitted any mistakes or missed certain important points, then ultimately it can affect all of the advantages of plastic Windows.
Measurements ↑
Before install the plastic window with your hands, initially you need to conduct a competent metering, and to consider all non-standard situations that may be present. The measurements for the installation of plastic Windows are following:
- measured itself plastic window and the width of the opening where you will be installing;
- measure the height of the opening and added the thickness of the future of the sill;
- after this pre-determined size plastic box, which is the width of the opening, and then added to it two values of the gap and the height of the opening and two values of the gap + height support profile.
Measurements before the installation is carried out in at least three places in all dimensions, so as to meet a completely flat openings to date almost impossible.
Using a plumb line, checking vertical curvature of the opening. Now use a water level, check the horizontal curvature. If there is any roughness, then you need a convenient way to Express this on paper sketch.
Features measurements ↑
There are several points that need to be taken into account during the measurements:
- measurements should be carried out equally to all such openings in the room, or at least to those that are located on one side. Their width may vary, but they should all be the same height, select the smallest size;
- installation of plastic Windows must be approximately 2/3 of the total width of the wall in the inner part. If in the future there are plans to hold the panels of the walls with insulating material, then you will need to set the window a little further. On the resulting distance will be the installation plane, that is, the outer window plane;
- often it is simply enough to measure the length of the fixed low tide or just take a measurement of the width of the window opening, and then adds 50 mm to the bend. The width of the ebb will be calculated as the distance from the mounting plane to the outer edge of the wall, and then to the resulting value is added to the distance to the ledge, is a certain stock on the limb. Again, be aware that if you are going in the future sheathe clapboard building or to carry out thermal insulation of external walls;
- the width of the sill is the distance from the plane of installation to the interior walls, which also adds the size of the departure and deducted the width of the window frame. In this case, the departure is taken, given the fact that in the case of installation of the heating radiator, the device must block only one-third its size;
- the slope is best measured after it is installed a plastic window, because to determine in advance its width is quite difficult. The length is the height of the window opening, and also the stock that must be left for subsequent cutting.
It is worth noting that if the measurements are carried out in private or old houses, in this case, it is best initially to bring down a certain part of the slopes on each side in the field measurements, as often it happens that the size of the opening is considerably greater than the dimensions of the installed Windows, and all the rest of the space is filled with specialized insulation or cement mortar. In addition, you will be able to significantly expand the new window, and increase the total area of glazing.
Dismantling
If we are talking about the fact that the installation of plastic Windows will be carried out in existing premises, before all of the work initially will need to completely get rid of the old design, and spend all you need very carefully and accurately to avoid injury and to exclude the possibility of hair loss products out that is particularly relevant for high-rise buildings.
- initially you will need to remove all glass;
- next, using a grinder or hacksaw to make the cuts in the horizontal and vertical elements of the frame;
- using hand tools to remove the design from the opening.
In certain situations, we can remove the old window, even without any deformations.
How to strengthen the frame? ↑
In this case, the mounting technology is chosen depending on from what material are the walls of the building, and also what overall dimensions has a plastic window. Based on this, will have to get out of technology, and tools attachment.
Fixing plastic Windows after the installation can be carried out as follows:
- using the mounting anchors or standard plugs that can penetrate through walls, vstavlyaesh in pre-drilled through holes;
- the anchoring plates that you will need to press in the profile. In other words, they are not included in the structure of the wall, and mounted vraspor, and then fixed with screws.
The first technology is considered the most strong, due to which it is actively used today, when you need to install the heavy plastic window. When used end-to-end fasteners, the window becomes extremely stable, even to strong enough mechanical stress. In addition, when the anchors pass through the frame, you can conduct a more accurate vertical and horizontal adjustment.
But if you want to understand how to install plastic window on their own and it is not the large size, then you should be interested in technology that uses toothed plates because they do not spoil the design of the window, because in the end, hidden behind the slopes.
How to install? ↑
Installation is carried out in several steps:
- the frame is inserted into the opening, while the perimeter must be specialized plastic parts, which will provide technical clearance;
- through the holes in the frame marked point, then removed it and drilled holes with drill bit suitable for the material of your wall. Then she returns to the place and «nazhivljajut» fasteners;
- the final fixing will be done only when you carefully measure horizontal and vertical. Not much, try to tighten the frame, because it just may end up bend;
- dismantled parts back, and then check whether the normal was set design;
- clearances carefully saponite, and inside and outside seams isolate specialized protective tape;
- complete foam void under the drainage;
- when it hardens, you will need to install the window sill. If you want to make a slight deviation from a window, you can zabanit the space under the window sill;
- in the end, the ebb sets for plastic Windows. For this, initially you need to cut it to specified size and fixed on the frame. In the process of finishing work is also to make outer slopes to really read the window ready for use.
If the above technology you will be fully complied with, in this case, you can be sure that eventually get is really a reliable plastic window that will serve you for many years without losing their original appearance, nor any performance. It is imperative in this case to pay special attention to each individual item, and to perform all work carefully in order to avoid mistakes and do everything in full compliance with the instructions.
Important ↑
It is recommended to make the slopes a day direct mounting. The maximum allowable time period – no more than 3 days after installation.
After all the work, it is not recommended to operate the window for 16 hours in order to ensure the safety of construction joints in optimal condition. To understand what constitutes the technology of installation of plastic Windows must not only some self-owner, but the person who wants to order his little-known team, because their work will need to control.
