  • They are well protected from the cold, thanks to windows with suction and design of plastic profile.
  • have an increased sound insulation qualities for the same reasons.
  • Their vents are so perfectly fitted that preclude any distortions at the correct adjustment and installation.

produce dismantling.If the old window units can still be used somewhere, and you want to keep them whole, you have to tinker, examining everything carefully.To do this, first take out the frames, and then clean the window sill and the block itself, trying not to damage it.The most common use of old wooden houses will only glazed frames, and blocks have fallen into disrepair.In this case, simply sawed them in the middle and claw tear out of the walls.Freed opening cleaned of debris and decay.If the beam or beams under the window rotten, and it most likely is the case, they also cut out and exchanged for new ones.Joints zapenivayut mounting foam.

When openings completely cleared, you can start them finish before inserting plastic windows.There are two options: the block is inserted directly into the opening, which is wrong, or frame it first on the perimeter of a special okosyachkoy.In the first case, you need only be a chainsaw to cut the spike in the walls, which kept the old wooden window unit.In the second case it is necessary to make a new okosyachku.Leave the old schools can not, even if they are in perfect condition.

Note that if the house is not very old, the manufacturing okosyachki necessary.Even on 5 - 6 year wooden house has the ability to make the shrinkage that can deform the plastic blocks.Okosyachku do as follows.The tool bar 100x150 mm selected longitudinal groove having a width equal to the width of the remaining walls of the ridge.This requires a circular saw, an ax and a chisel with a hammer.Longitudinal cuts make the saw, and then modify the groove ax and chisel.This groove resulting riser mounted vertically on the crest of the wall.Such riser need two for each window.At the bottom of each jamb selected spike 50h50h25 mm.It is necessary for securing the bottom of the bar, which also makes the thorns on both sides.

to the upper timber opening risers must not reach 100 mm.In this will insert a header bar freely.We need to up the log he did not get 45 mm.Between themselves, all the bars okosyachki fasten pegs and joints warmed jute tape.

For proper installation of PVC window units require special fixtures, a place for which there is at the ends of each frame.They have the form of thin metal plates with perforations.In the frames are technical slide around the edge profile.They are made in the form of a trough with a hook.To facilitate the design of the window, you can remove the doors and vents by removing the pins from the hinges.Sometimes this may be insufficient, for example, when installing the window at high altitude.In this case, you can take out all the windows, so there was only a frame.This will require a special device for pulling out the plastic glazing beads.Only this should be done carefully so as not to damage the windows and no longer leakproof profile.

installation frame is made with the help of a spirit level.Alignment do both vertically and horizontally.Fix the first frame with wooden wedges, spacers.Before that, under the frame is necessary to put two identical chips 10 mm thick.It is enough to be able to propenyl gap with foam.This is required for the installation of plastic windows technology.Aligned frame is attached by means of fastenings on okosyachku in several places.

After that the window is fully harvested and hung sash.Attention!double-glazed windows Installation must be done correctly.Inside the frame there are expansion pads made of soft plastic.They should be placed on all sides of the glazing so that it nowhere does not directly contact with the profile.This is to ensure that the glass is not cracked due to accidental deformation.Since the glazing beads are on the edges of the corner sections, they are not so easy to insert into place.To install the bead, its one edge is inserted under the previous one, it is perpendicular bead.Then bend the middle and gently inserted under the second.Only then will produce press-fit it into place.

Properly installed glazing beads should have no clearance to the frame.When their installation is necessary to try not to damage the sealing gum, otherwise the frame will accumulate water.After you install double-glazed windows on the perimeter produces foaming, do not forget to remove the chips and spacer foam after drying.Formed dopenivayut hole.Attention!If the frame zapenit, not collecting it completely and not hung casement, when solidified foam deforms it so that nothing is inserted and it will be impossible to close.

Of course, self-installation of plastic windows in wooden house has some problems, but if you do everything according to instructions, observing all the recommendations, then all you get, and set your hands plastic windows will long to please you, not causing any problems.

Installation of plastic window frames in a new wooden house

installation of plastic windows in the new house of wood is somewhat different from their replacement in an old doorway.It is not required, for obvious reasons, to make dismantling.In addition, it will be necessary to form a ridge in the side walls of the openings.For this level mark out using two parallel lines midway wall.The distance between them is 50 mm.Along these lines too deep cuts made 50 mm.Then, on both sides of the wall saw through the line at the same distance from the edge of the opening.The result is a comb, which will coincide with the size of the slots on the okosyachki racks.

Another nuance is associated with the fact that the new house made of wood gives a very strong contraction in the first year.It can reach in some cases 5 cm. For this reason, in the first year of the window is better not to insert, but if you still have such a need, the necessary amendments to the shrinkage.To do this at the top of okosyachkoy need to leave a gap of about 5 cm wide.It compensates for the shrinkage of the frame and is unharmed.This gap can be filled temporarily planks with soft insulation, so that after shrinkage of its main zapenit.With the shrinkage of plates take out one by one, allowing the gap gradually narrowed.

for wooden houses is not necessary to order the ordinary white box if you do not want to sheathe its siding.Natural log or timber windows are worthy of brown or with coloring, similar to the structure of the wood.If they make the finished panel under the tree, you get a very nice combination.White as the windows are in dissonance with wooden structures.
