The final stage of installation of metal-plastic windows - installation of slopes

Repair ... For many, this word is a terrible sentence. A lot of time, a lot of money spent and a headache due to our builders. That's where the average repair looks like. Of course, in the presence of additional funds, you can jerk off into the warmer regions and return to your updated apartments. But the best way is to check the work. Thus, all misunderstandings can be avoided. With the foreword, perhaps, everything, and now let's talk about window openings, more precisely - about their slopes.

First of all during the repair get rid of the old windows and doors. After installing new metal-plastic apertures, installation of slopes on windows remains. For clarity, this is the inner or outer part of the wall, which is the perimeter of the window opening. In our time, the installation of slopes is carried out with the help of many materials. This service will cost a lot of money. For one running meter the price ranges from 10 to 20 dollars. A small window of one and a half per meter will cost you 50-80 cu. Because of the high prices, many customers transfer the installation of slopes for an indefinite period of time. Like, the window is blocked, it will serve like that. This is a wrong decision. The fact is that the foam under the influence of sunlight is deformed, and soon loses its sealing properties. In simple words, there is free space between the window frame and the foam layer. Moreover, in itself this sealant is not a waterproofing material. With high humidity, the main property of the foam is lost - heat insulation. That is why immediately after installation of PVC windows it is necessary to save the mounting foam from the influence of atmospheric factors.

Let's take a closer look at the ways and materials with which to install the slopes. So, good old plastering works. The most accessible and practical option for both external and internal slopes. But there is always one "but". The fact is that in the plastered openings there is absolutely no one important detail - heat-insulating properties. This leads to the supercooling in winter of all the elements of the window. The consequence is condensation.

Do not avoid when plastering and cracks at the junctions of slopes. Because of this in our time, less and less resort to this method of decoration. More modern material, through which the installation of slopes, is drywall. With proper waterproofing this material will please its owners with durability and attractive aesthetic appearance. Plus to this (for better thermal insulation) use mineral wool. After the installation of gypsum boards, the slopes are ground and treated with water-based paint. For this it is necessary to have professional building skills. One drawback in gypsum plasterboard all the same is. This building material is suitable only for internal works.

Go ahead. Plastic slopes are very popular among our customers . In this there is nothing strange, since this material has a number of advantages. Firstly, it's an excellent appearance, which is perfectly combined with the profile of the window opening itself. Such slopes can easily be cleaned with a conventional soap solution. They do not need to be additionally treated with paint or primed, as in the case of plasterboard. The service life of plastic panels can not but rejoice. From this very material (polyvinylchloride) is made a profile of plastic windows, to which the manufacturer gives a guarantee of 40 years. The advantages of plastic slopes should also include low thermal conductivity, moisture resistance, vapor tightness, quite reasonable price.

If you are interested in the general appearance of the window opening, it is best to trim the windows on the windows with plastic sandwich panels. Thus, you get a great view and excellent performance.
