Installation of plastic windows with your own hands

Plastic windows quickly gained prestige among consumers. Products compete with wood products. Installation of window blocks is not only possible for specialists. Installation of plastic windows with their own hands is also available for people without special education. However, you need to carefully study the instructions and follow the recommendations exactly. The features of the package installation are as follows:

1. Ability to carry out installation works at any time of the year. At the same time, it should be taken into account that at plus temperature it is much more convenient to work. It will take a solution of cement, special foam. With such building materials it is more comfortable to work in a warm time.

2. The need to measure the openings before the installation process. Installation of plastic windows with their own hands implies an accurate measurement of the opening. The success of the events depends on the correctness of the indicators.

Installation of PVC windows with their own hands in the panel house requires measuring the opening inside the room. In such buildings, the box with frames retains the opening of the "L-shaped" section. Measurement should be performed as follows:

• To measure the distance between slopes (lateral) from above and from below;
• To measure the height from the window sill to the slope at the top (from the right and left sides);
• The width of the window sill should be equal to the wall thickness minus the width of the window profile (60 mm) and minus the distance from the outer wall to the "L" shaped wall protrusion plus 50-100 mm.

Installation of plastic windows with their own hands in a brick house requires the definition of a bearing wall. At this point the layer of plaster on the slopes has the greatest thickening. It should be taken into account when measuring the opening. The measurement stages are as follows:

• Measurement of the distance from the inside between the slopes (lateral) from above and below;
• Measurement of height from the inside of the window sill to the upper slope (from the right and left sides);
• Measured outside the width of the opening in two planes (top and bottom);
• Measured outside the height from the ebb to the top of the opening in two planes (right and left);
• Determination of the width of the window sill.

Installing plastic windows with your own hands in a house made of wood is not a big deal. The opening of windows in this structure has parallel slopes. Therefore, the aperture is measured in the same way as in a brick house. Very often the installation of PVC windows with their own hands in a wooden house is performed with a preliminary expansion of the window opening. Plastic windows are very warm. Therefore, the owners of dwellings prefer to install larger blocks for better lighting. Expansion of the opening is done with a gasoline or electric saw. The width of the window sill should be equal to the thickness of the wall.

Technology

Installation of plastic windows with their own hands is made after dismantling of old ones. The process of dismantling is relatively time-consuming. It must be done carefully. First of all, it is necessary to remove the windows from the hinges. The next step is to cut the old frame and remove it from the opening. Also need to get rid of the sill, low tide, insulation, garbage. In the case of the formation of an excessively deep cavity, its size should be reduced with cement mortar.

When installing a plastic window, you need to strictly observe the technology:

• Perform the removal of the doors and remove the double-glazed windows;
• To mark the existing glazing beads of the double-glazed window for the purpose of their installation in the right place;
• Remove the protective film from the outside of the unit and adhere the sealing tape of the PSUL ;
• Glue the vapor barrier tape to the end of the plastic frame;
• Install in the opening load-bearing pads;
• Mount the window box close to the external aperture on the pads;
• To expose a frame on a plumb;
• Drill holes (two on the left and right) through the profile of the box into the wall to the depth of the dowel;
• To fix the box with nails or special iron plates;
• Fill with a construction foam of emptiness between the box and the wall;
• Install a plastic window sill ;
• To the window box outside to fix the ebb;
• Install sashes and glass - bags, starting with the installation of the first glazing beacon at the top;
• To mount slopes.

Accurate compliance with all the necessary recommendations for the installation of modern PVC windows will allow to conduct work in a quality and without extra time.
