Making slopes of plastic windows

windows have become the most popular with the improvement of the houses, but the installation of the window - it is only half the work, it is also important to know how to do on the slopes of plastic windows, is the space between the glass and the wall.

slopes of windows can be internal, which are indoors and outside, located on the street side.

These elements are sound and thermal insulation, prevent fogging of the window, so they are an important and necessary component of the window.

However, these indicators can be achieved only if the installation was carried out correctly.

for plastic windows, you can install the following types of slopes: plaster, plastic and plasterboard.

And what exactly to choose - an individual decision, the adoption of which depends on the preferences and financial capabilities.

Plastering slopes

plastering slopes of windows are more minuses than pluses.

Because with time comes cracking plaster, exposed to UV coating color is lost, and the discharge of the plaster from the walls can occur under the influence of shrinkage of the house.

Such slopes require plastering in several layers, and each layer must dry thoroughly.Roughly, it took 1-2 weeks.

are also plastering slopes do not provide high-quality insulation, resulting in fogging the windows, causing the fungus is often formed.

as advantages include the possibility of staining plaster elements in any color, and reasonably priced material.

External plastering slopes of windows are performed as follows.Pre surface must be cleaned of old paint and dust.

then applied to the surface of the base layer of putty, which is aligned with a spatula.In this method the grout used for leveling the surface.

required for solution preparation M300 cement sieved river sand, of which solution is prepared in a ratio of 1: 3.Ready solution should be applied to the base.

To create a smooth angle required perforated angle.Further, the cement is applied to the corner of the wall, is inserted into the solution area.After that, the excess solution is necessary to clean and level the surface.

should be borne in mind that the solution when applied thicker than 3 cm in his need to add gypsum plaster to prevent surface cracking.

final step is applying the finish plastering and painting.

All slots must be carefully fill with silicone sealant or assembly foam to help prevent fungus, which is formed due to the excessive moisture due to rainfall.

But first you need to moisten the surface of the water to foam adheres better, you can use ordinary water dispenser.Execution of all the works can be viewed on video.

Internal plastering slopes of windows created with the help of guides to ensure smooth edges.

To do this, apply plaster beacons and special corners.Thus, in the first window opening perimeter masking tape is pasted over a window to avoid contamination.

Then, the surface should be cleaned and primed, then leave to dry.

Corners for reinforcing the edges and the beacons are fixed with glue or plaster solution.Corners and lighthouses are aligned to the standards.Beacons must be secured with the use of plaster and allow to dry.

Then, if the surface is smooth, apply again a layer of plaster.If you want to align, you will need to paint the grid with which to align the surface of plaster.

Mix for alignment should be the consistency, so it does not drip down and easily distributed.

Alignment is necessary to make the right to the slopes looking aesthetically pleasing.

Once dry slopes to be treated with primer and leave to dry this layer, then apply a second coat of primer and then cover the finishing putty.

After drying to do the cleaning of fine-grained sandpaper.You can then make a surface staining.

Details creation plastering slopes of plastic windows is shown in the video section.

Plasterboard soffits

more durable are gypsum slopes on the windows, but the drywall can be done only internal slopes.Excellent thermal insulation is ensured by means of mineral wool.

significant drawback is vlagoboyazn drywall, so the material is suitable for use in rooms with low humidity, otherwise the fungus can be formed.

Installation of drywall slopes requires certain skills, without the experience of the execution of works will not be easy.Since gypsum slopes primed and painted, the running time is 1-2 weeks.

as benefits are marked easy installation and stylish appearance.

First of all, the surface is prepared slopes on the windows: cleaned, removed the dust and dirt, primed, and then left to dry.

need to prepare in advance gypsum boards, which need to be cut into appropriate sizes elements.

After complete drying of the surface, you can move on to the gluing of drywall.To do this, apply drywall adhesive or foam (but glue is more reliable).

Harvesting glue tightly to the surface of the slope.First glued side panels and then the upper portion.For smooth angles need to use paint corners.

After setting adhesive can move on to the finishing plaster and paint.Stitches under the window sill need to fill with foam, which is then cut off the excess with a knife.

more detailed manufacturing process windows slopes of plasterboard can be seen in the video section.

Plastic slopes

Plastic slopes on the windows are more versatile.Quickly installed, do not fade in the sun, they are easy to care for.Plastic is able to serve more than 15 years.

Perfectly suited to the window, besides there is a rich palette of colors of plastic panels.

can be done with mineral wool insulation, preventing heat loss and fogging of windows to improve water and heat insulation.All installation work is easy to do with their hands.

Plastic slopes are most suitable and most popular for plastic windows, so the device technology to consider in more detail.

outer slopes on plastic windows performed quite simple.On pre-cleaned and primed surface must be applied special glue or assembly foam.

But first you need to moisten the surface of the water to foam adheres better, used a conventional water dispenser.

Foam is applied in a circular motion in a little at a distance, without giving to the panel at the swelling.

plastic panels, pre-cut to the correct size bands are pressed against the surface over the entire length.Then the joints need to cover up with special plastic corners.

External slopes ready.How do external slopes, you can see on the video.

Internal slopes made a little more difficult.

Primarily, it is necessary to prepare a strip of plastic of the following type:

• 6 m long, 8 mm thick;
• U-shaped panel (start);
• F-shaped panel.

also require wooden slats thickness of 1-1.5 cm. The data needed to fix the rack on the perimeter of the window opening with self-tapping screws.

attach them need to perfect vertical slats must not protrude beyond the window opening.

Wooden slats are the basis for fixing the plastic, as well as the stiffening structure.

now on the outer edge of the window is attached starter strip using screws-bugs.

is recommended to draw a pencil line on the perimeter of the window, and already on the layout to make fixing the starting panel, which must fit snugly to the inner edge.

It is in the groove of the panel will be inserted into the plastic slope.

next step is to mount F-shaped panels.At first, this band should be properly adjust the size.Length of the profile should include the length of the slope and width of the profile.

better to choose the length with a margin of 3-4 cm, it is better then cut the excess, than to seek the option of replacing the missing part.The resulting panel must be attached to the wooden slats.

Plastic panels are inserted into the prepared slots.First panel fitted to the desired size and then infest the starting strip and F-shaped.

Previously under the panel to put a heater, such as mineral wool.

remaining gaps need to seal the silicone, which will improve the design integrity and prevent fungus that can appear in the open cracks.
