How to make slopes on windows with your own hands

Replacing the windows - it's always some difficulties, but if the slopes were not fixed, the entire opening looks sloppy. These works can be done independently. First of all, evaluate the entire opening. Its width, technical condition and part of the frame material are important here. To make slopes for plastic windows with your own hands and without any problems, it is better to first specify the installation on the frame of the starting profile. It snaps to the profile before the installation, and further greatly simplifies the work on embankment sealing.

Slopes can be made from a sheet of gypsum, for narrow apertures a plastic panel is suitable, but it is more convenient to use sandwich panels. The cheapest option - plastering slopes on the windows with their own hands. The thickness of the applied plaster layer depends on the cleanliness of the opening. If during the dismantling of windows in the old fund the entire slope has fallen off, then the time for performing the plastering of the opening may increase, as several plaster layers will have to be applied. And the cheap option will stretch for a few days.

Using a gyro when closing the opening allows you to simplify some of the work. But this is also not the fastest option. To fix the gypsum, you must first make a lath of brusochkov. Its configuration depends on the opening itself. Sometimes it is enough to attach two or three horizontal crossbars to the wall. And they already have to fix the prepared sheet. Carrying giprochnye slopes on the windows with your own hands, you should think in advance how to fix the joints of the frame and gyro. There will also be a question about the clypees to close the junction.

If the apartment walls are not very thick and the width of the opening does not exceed 250 mm, then you can use plastic panels. Their variety allows you to execute any color on the slopes on the windows with your own hands. On small openings, you can fix the plastic on the construction foam. For this, on two sides and on top in the frozen foam make a cutout and insert the plastic panel close to the frame.

Suitable and starting profile, but it is convenient to fix only on the windows of plastic. To insulate the aperture and ensure that the panel does not bend along the length, all free space can be filled with mounting foam. The joint with the wall is closed with a lintel or corner. This option of closing the opening is especially interesting when there are colored windows made of wood or plastic. Dark oak on the frame in combination with a light oak on the slopes and windowsill will create its own unique color.

Another suitable material, which is often used for slopes, is a sandwich panel. They are convenient in that they already contain a heater inside the plastic. The thickness of such a panel is 10 mm. There is a small choice in color, but most often a white sandwich panel is used. If you order a set for embankment fixing, you get the starting profile, the panel itself and the clips on the clips. As a result, you can easily fix the slopes on the windows with your own hands. But all these works can be obtained already in the finished version, if you order the installation of windows "turnkey".

On the street side of the opening is also desirable to put in order. Sometimes it can be seen foam. It must necessarily be closed from the sun. Usually it is done with the help of plaster works or platbands. You can make shutters on the windows with your own hands. Nowadays, few people use these window elements. They are often replaced by blinds or shutters. But in the old days they were very much in demand. Shutters are usually made of wood. In the rectangular frame, the lamellas are inserted at an angle, leaving air gaps. When you open the shutters, the shutters open out, not interfering with the opening of the windows.
