Timetable for the cap with his hands - the instruction and video

timetable for the plinth - a plastic or metal strip WATERPROOF, installed at the junction of the cap and walls.Typically, the thickness of the cap wall thickness slightly above - this is due to the increased load on it.At the same time on the ledge, the image at the top of the cap may be delayed rain and meltwater.Base and foundation get wet, washed concrete binders, and during freezing wet basement in addition it cracks.All this contributes to its rapid destruction.To protect the foundation and base of these harmful effects, in the upper part of the set flow.

timetable for the cap: types and materials

drips can be made of any material: galvanized steel, stainless steel, aluminum or copper, and various plastics.Steel sills are also available with a reinforced coating: zinc plating layer and a polymeric dye reliably protect them not only from damage, but also against rust.

Ebb have a mounting limb, designed for mounting to a wall, a shelf that is installed at an angle for better water drainage, as well as the front limb, guiding water drained down.Shelves can be any dimensions from 50 to 400 mm.Colours tide in the market is very wide and is compatible with most finishing materials for facade and foundation.

How to strengthen the ebb cap

1. Mount tides produce after facing cap before facing walls.Prior to mounting, check the top line of the plinth or foundation on the horizontal using a spirit level.For large distortions it is expedient to align their cement-sand mortar, moreover, for a better fit of castings need to make slopes.
2. To do this on one of the corners of the selected wall using dowels and screws fasten strap, align it to the level and secured at the other corner of the wall.Preparing a cement slurry of 1 part cement and 3 parts sand by adding water.The solution should not run with a trowel.With the help of a trowel on lace perform slopes at an angle of at least 15 degrees.Maintain the solution for a few days for the cement setting and the evaporation of excess moisture.
3. Ebb is attached either directly to the wall or to the guide, which will subsequently be secured cladding facade - in this case, before the mounting tide necessary to carry out preparatory work and set the rails.

4. For the best water drainage outflow should extend beyond the edge of the cap is not less than 50 mm - when choosing you must take this into account.When you select a shade you need to focus on the color scheme, in which the whole structure is decorated.Usually low tides are selected to match the wall socket or the wall, but in some cases contrasting or metal elements give the house a special charm.

6. External and internal corners are cut from the length of the casting strips, as shown in the illustration and secure the usual way, with promazyvayut sure all joints with silicone sealant.
7. Wide sills additionally fastened to the cap by means of brackets, otherwise they will "walk" from the wind.

Properly installed low tides for the cap perfectly protects it from moisture and prolong the service life of the foundation.In addition, the ebb and prevent erosion of the paint and decorative plaster, so the colored cap tides are essential.
