All we have seen how to change the eyes, steering house siding.This rapidly entered into our life, the material is a fantastic property, to hide all the flaws of the structure under its geometrically smooth surface.There is a great difficulty in mounting it on a flat plane of the wall, but the finishing window slopes this material requires special attention.To perform it correctly, observing the necessary technology, you need to become familiar with all the subtleties and nuances of the process.

Species siding and a choice of additional elements for finishing slopes

modern construction industry produces two main types of facade siding: vinyl and metal.Vinyl siding made from a polymeric material - vinyl.For the reason that it is cheaper than metal, it is used more widely, especially in the low-budget construction of private housing.

polymer properties were reflected in consumer qualities of this material:

  • Through it does not get wet.
  • panels of siding have enough aesthetic appearance.
  • surface coated with such a material, is easy to care.

Moreover, its lifetime is significantly less than that of the metal, due to the fact that plastic deformation with time under the influence of fading and temperature fluctuations and sunlight.

If the facade of the house is planned to close the vinyl siding, and all the elements for finishing slopes of windows you want to use the same material.To joints and angles on the slopes had finished and civilized use some additional details.

For metal siding used similar additional elements, but made of metal.In general, metal siding has a presentable appearance.It is covered with special polymer coating, which greatly increases the corrosion resistance of the material.Therefore, this type of siding can last 50 years.The shape and color of it may be quite different.There are variations that mimic the present timber.

Whatever type of siding and additional elements not selected, finishing slopes should be performed very carefully and accurately.After all the windows in the first place are evident in the review of the building.Their design depends on the impression from the appearance of the house.

What do I need to prepare for work on the decoration of the windows

First of all, before starting work, you need to prepare the necessary tools:

  • for tightening screws need a screwdriver.
  • Shears for metal that will cut profiles.Grinders can not be used, because heating of burns polymer coating on the metal, resulting in further corrosion.
  • knife to cut the vinyl siding.
  • Jigsaw or hacksaw with fine teeth.
  • Special punch.Reminiscent pliers tool necessary for making holes in the siding under the screws.
  • Hammer medium size.
  • Measuring tools and building level.
  • pencil or crayon to mark lines.

for upgrading slopes need additional elements, photos of which were presented above.It is better to buy, along with siding as the color and tone should be the same.Also, different manufacturers, these fasteners may be different, creating inconvenience in mounting.To purchase the desired number of strips, it is necessary to make a correct calculation.First, count the number of tides.We are doing it in the meter.Measure the width of all the windows and summarize the result.Since tides are sold a certain standard length, the result is rounded up to a multiple of the maximum.For example, if you have the sum of the widths of all the windows was found to be 11 meters, and the length of a standard low tide 1.5 m, then you need to buy 8 pieces.However, one should bear in mind that for the wide windows is better to buy low tides of greater length, so as not to create the joints.

calculation other elements as follows.Measure the length of the perimeter of each window, excluding the bottom side, where the tide is.To summarize everything we add 15%.It is necessary for the stock.After all, no way will the installation do without cuts and bends.For example, the height of one window of 1.3 m and a width of 1, 5 m. A total of six identical building windows.Then we have the need for the materials calculated using the formula (1.3 * 2 + 1.5) * 6 = 24.6 m. To make allowance for the stock to 24.6 * 1.15 = 28.3 m. As much we need for strapsfinishing slopes of windows.This result is likely to be rounded up to 30 m, as all the additional elements also sold in standard lengths.

Important points for finishing window slopes

Before finishing directly slopes of windows, it is necessary to clarify some important points:

  • Always in outdoor applications using galvanized screws, as this will eliminate corrosion and rust stains.
  • Screwing screws carried out at a right angle to the surface and not to stop.Should be a gap of 1 mm, in order to compensate for the thermal expansion of the materials.
  • Along the edges of the panel is cut at a 45 - degree angle, which contributes to a more snug fit to each other.
  • tide mounted first to its fasteners were subsequently hidden.
  • panels must be very tightly pressed against the surface of the slope, so you can lubricate the sealant.

Depending on the width of the slope, choose the method of installation of panels.If the slope has a width of about 20 cm, all this space must close siding.This can be done either horizontally or vertically.It is for attaching siding inside slopes and need J-channel.How this is done it can be clearly seen in the image 7.

When slopes have an average width, for their finishing no need to use siding.For this there are special strips for medium slopes, the width of which is possible to do this, what you need, cutting off the excess with a knife.The edge of this plank is also inserted into the J-channel or finishing profile.For the installation of brackets, they must be cut out in a certain way and bend angles.The picture 8 shows the cutting scheme.

Using elements such as frames, is justified in the case where the window is flush with the outer surface of the wall.They are mounted directly around the box without any additional elements.If there is no casings, then they can use as a regular siding, which is framed by a circle J-profile.

process facing window slopes siding

Before starting work, it is necessary to prepare for the slopes.This need is particularly extensive in their kinds.Preparation is cleaning up the old plaster and other debris, grout cracks and handling the entire slope surface primer.These measures do not allow moisture to penetrate deep into the slope, destroying it.

If the house of stone or brick, it is necessary to pre-arrange a crate around the window.This will produce a higher quality finish.After all, self-tapping screws screwed into the guide battens is much more convenient than concrete or brick.When it is necessary to consider the device to the siding has not closed the window frame completely.Therefore, you must select the rack desired thickness.In some cases, the crate will make the impossible, and to fix the siding will have directly on the slope.This is not a problem in wooden houses, but the stone will have to use glue, liquid nails or dowels.

Facing siding wide window slopes

For example, consider the procedure for mounting facing slopes on a wide opening with the installation of low tide.

Since the slope has a greater width in the lower part must be set low tide.It protects the wall from rain and helps to ensure that the winter snow and ice does not accumulate on the slope.It is this element and is installed in the first place.The tide must be set very tightly and efficiently, so the process of installing it should be preceded by careful measurements.

Measure the length of the low tide, so that it was wider opening on 7 - 10 cm. At this depth made the same slots on both sides at a distance of 3 cm from the outer edge of the tide..The resulting buckling folds up so that the tide came in the opening, and folds formed on its side surface.This design does not allow water to get in between the outflow opening and the side walls.The width of the low tide taken at 4 cm. Larger than the width of the slope.This is to ensure that, the tide appeared to the wall by 3 cm, and even 1 cm. Need to bend to form the surface to which it will be attached to the frame with screws window.

Before attaching parts to the frame, at the junction of the place is applied sealant or liquid nails.This creates additional protection from moisture.Then reflux via screws screwed to the frame part and bent to the side walls slope.

Further, the perimeter of the entire frame, except for the bottom, J-profile is screwed.It is inserted into the desired length sections of siding.Their cut edges at an angle equal to the angle of the slope walls.The second edge of the siding is attached to the wall of the outer area, which plays a role casings.If you want to fix the siding horizontally, which is often quite justified, then prepare the required number of segments, the required length.They are also inserted into the J-profile, on the other hand closed area.

Facing siding average slope window

Unlike the wide slope, the finishing medium is not necessary to use the siding panel.It is sufficient to establish a special ready-made elements that are cut by the scheme discussed above.This is also after the mounting tide.Outside, they can close the casings to be cut correctly.Take the casing, and with one of its sides, measure the distance that is strictly equal to its width.Then add a segment equal to the width of the opening, and then added again casing width.These surpluses are cut at an angle of 45 degrees, without touching the inner corner.Such manipulation is carried out with the upper part.The side panels are cut at an angle just above.Their lower part must rest against the tide.Then they are mounted alternately around the opening, starting from the side panels.This casing is required to completely cover the fasteners to other parts of the slope plating.

window without finishing slopes

In this case, there is no need to install tide.It will be enough just to frame the window architraves, which are made in the same way as described above.Only now the lower part of the window opening, too, will be closed casing, the edges of which cut at 45 degrees, as well as in the side.

The correct finishing slopes window opening depends on how well it is protected from external influences of weather.The shortcomings in the installation may result in leakage and the appearance of mold on the slopes.It does not create dense mounting discomfort in windy weather when you will hear the noise from the siding for loose parts.All this indicates that the installation must be done by the right technology, producing all the measurements accurately and securely fastening.
