Plastic windows are gaining momentum of popularity annually. And the point here is not only in an effort to change something in the usual wooden windows.
The plastic window is more practical and has many important advantages. First of all, it is thermal insulation, noise insulation, ease of care and durability. When replacing windows, they call a specialist, since installing them on your own is not very simple. This does not mean at all that it is impossible to perform the process yourself. Strictly following the rules, you can install plastic windows yourself.
First, the dismantling of the old window is required. The window is removed from the sash, and then the window platbands are dismantled. Most often, the dismantling of the old frame is required, because only in some cases it still retains its integrity.
Next, the window frame is fixed. Fixes are removed from the new window, and then we remove the double -glazed window. With mounting plates or anchors fix the window frame. It should be noted that the window frame is set not by the opening, but by level. When the frame is fixed, you can blow out the foam of the gap and the extra intervals between the frame and the wall with foam. She will perform her fastener and isolating function.
We mount the windowsill under the opening and fix it to the window. It’s not scary if there is a small gap under the windowsill. It can also be blown by foam. In the case when the opening through the chur is large, then it must be filled with a solution.
Check the presence of cracks and eliminate them. As soon as the foam dries, all the cracks will disappear. Now finish the slopes. They usually put them on the same day as the window. We install the double -glazed window, hang the sash. The main part of the work was completed. Now you can deal with additional elements, such as a mosquito network, fixers.
