Choosing the right slopes for plastic windows.
Installation of slopes as an important stage of mounting windows
Slope - the inside of the window opening, the place where the window itself is inserted. When you have to change the window, you need to pay attention to the slopes, the higher their quality, the better the overall appearance will be.
When installing windows from PVC, the following types of slopes are offered: plasterboard, plaster and plastic.
Without slopes any new and high-quality window will look incomplete and sloppy. And often learn about slopes in the process of repairing an apartment or when replacing windows. The fact that the old slopes stood long without a single crack, there is an explanation. The old design of the windows had increased air permeability. Out of the loose fit and the slots, it was blown out, which created a sparing temperature zone for the slopes. But the modern design of wooden and plastic windows is airtight. The air does not flow into the crevices, which simply do not exist, and the slopes are between the cold outside and the heat inside, i. E.On the temperature boundary, which is expressed quite sharply. When opening to ventilate the window, cold air gets on the heated escarpment, which causes it to crack. Just as important is the condensate.
Plaster slopes for plastic windows
The plaster mixture from which the slopes are made does not connect firmly to the PVC frame, and this will sooner or later lead to the detachment of the slope. In the plaster slope there are no materials in which there are good thermal insulation properties, this leads to the supercooling of the opening in the cold time, the window itself. This causes condensation, both on a slope and on a double-glazed unit.
It takes a lot of time to make stucco slopes. By technology, the material is superimposed layer by layer, and each new layer can be laid down only after the previous one has dried. Otherwise, the slopes will crack. The plaster, which is applied to concrete or brick, continues with the wall. Therefore, the slopes are cold and frozen at the junction with the frame. By the way, see what is now the modern technology of window insulation, the most common technology - oknadena.
Gypsum plasterboard slopes
The same drawbacks are also found in slopes made of drywall, which still require good fastening. If you paste thin plastic on the sheet of plasterboard, the quality will not be at the height: this time-consuming work with insufficient stability of the drywall and unreliability of the adhesive joint also leads to destruction.
Thin plastic sheets are not suitable for finishing, although this is one of the easiest ways to trim slopes. Slopes in this case are not insulated, and this leads to freezing and condensation, and the method of gluing plastic causes detachment due to compression / expansion of the material.
Plastic slopes of PVC
Now on the market of building materials you can find panels made of cellular plastic. When insulating with mineral wool, using the mounting profile, fixing the panels to the rail, this material can be used. Here you should choose the most high-quality manufacturers. The cheaper panels change color over time, on the face surface the stiffeners are visible, which in turn leads to the loss of the overall appeal of the window, giving the impression of an artisan decoration of the window opening with a high-quality window.
Slopes from MDF panels are quite cheap at cost, but, like slopes made of plasterboard, do not have sufficient moisture resistance and need high-quality fastening.
Single-sided sandwich panels have a good aesthetic characteristic, but there is insufficient rigidity. This is especially undesirable for wide slopes, since the slope will bend.
To date, two-layer sandwich panels and special plastic slopes are available, which are considered to be the most high-quality and practical in operation, although they are more expensive than others.
Installation of PVC slides on plastic windows provides good sealing, guarantee the absence of cracks, create a sense of solidity and completeness.
An important role in the overall impression of the room, is given to the place of joining the wallpaper and the slope. The most expensive quality repairs will be brought to naught if you see lagging at the junction of wallpaper or a cracked slope. It can also be eliminated by means of a slope made of PVC.Slopes of PVC perfectly eliminate the visual disadvantage when changing the wooden structure of the slope to plastic, when the strip remains because of the difference in the thickness of the wooden frames and plastic. In addition, the installation of slopes from PVC does not take much time, they have moisture resistance, are not afraid of direct sunlight, significantly transform the appearance of the room. It is also important that in case of damage to the plastic slope from PVC, it can easily be replaced with a new one. Due to its performance and affordable cost, plastic slopes have gained great popularity. It is also important to properly install the sill taking into account the slopes of the skew.
Installation of plastic slopes
In terms of installation, the installation of slopes for PVC windows is the simplest. To that, plastic, unlike other materials, can tolerate deformation to a critical point. If the wooden slope does not withstand seasonal temperature changes and is deformed without lacquer protection, then the plastic tolerates both moisture and temperature changes. From a decorative point of view, the slopes can resemble texture variations such as metal, wood. This is achieved by laminating a special film that simulates these materials.
