Installation of a plastic window is not such a difficult thing, as it might initially seem. The main problem in such work is that often the size of the finished window block does not correspond to the hole prepared for it. If the frames and double -glazed windows are made according to measurements made by a professional master, then there will be no problems with the installation of the window unit itself. Consider the main steps that should be taken for this.
First of all, it is necessary to carefully dismantle the old window. Next, you need to install a new frame in the window opening and check the correspondence of the vertical lines of the plumb line, and the horizontal lines — the risk of the construction level.
To fix the frame in the window opening, you can use screws, anchor bolts or plates. It is important to remember that the installation of the frame should be done without glass and double -glazed windows.
Next, it is required to fill the space formed between the window and the wall, mounting foam. In addition to the fact that the foam, expanding, holds the frame and the opening among themselves, it also serves as a heater. After a day, it is necessary to remove excess material using a painting knife. In order to protect the future window from the flow, you need to paint the foam with protective paint, or additionally waterproofing the perimeter around the frame.
After the window frame is installed and fixed, you need to mount the windowsill from the inside, and attach drainage outside. Most often, plastic is used as a material for the windowsill, but you can also use a product of wood. A galvanized metal sheet or metal -plastic is suitable for water healing.
In the conclusion of the installation and to give the tidy -looking window, you need to put in order internal and external slopes. For these purposes, putty, drywall or special panels should be used. To reduce the costs of the finish, the surface of the room must be treated with traditional plaster and covered with paint of a suitable color. The external perimeter is important to primer and apply putty, and then once again apply a layer of finishing primer and cover with facade enamel.
So, the installation of a plastic window is over. Now the most important thing is that you need to do is place the double -glazed windows inside the window frame, make sure of the reliability of fasteners and clean the room from construction dust and garbage.
