Example plating window slopes wood paneling
Finishing slopes can again be made in various ways. The main thing is that these objectives have been achieved:
- aesthetics;
- practicality;
- ease of maintenance;
- thermal efficiency.
Before the beginning of slope installation is necessary to make the appropriate measurements
Whatever material is used, it is necessary to make the slopes finish quality and timely. Indeed, many are tightened with it, allowing moisture to penetrate into these places, there is a fungus forming and attracting other unpleasant consequences. If you are able to work with their own hands and managed with the tool, you will not be difficult to sheathe on slopes plastic windows with his own hands. Video instructions for each material there are many. We consider here three of the most popular ways of finishing slopes: plaster, plastic and plasterboard. metal elements used even outside of the window.
Traditionally, window soffits are painted in white
Useful advice!
Before you change the windows, decide in advance what material you will decorate the slopes. It must be done immediately in order to avoid penetration of moisture into the walls.

Features slopes of different materials
The oldest and proven way to finishing slopes indoors - it is their plastering. Today mortar stores abound in a large variety of plaster mixtures. The main advantage of the plaster - is its low price and the possibility of applying to it any paint or finish other facing materials. But do not try to do it yourself if you've never plastered. Before to make a flat surface needs continuous training on less complex areas, such as on the walls.
The easiest way to everything rounded slopes - plastering
The most convenient for the installation of slope material is plastic. Wall panels from it have different colors and sizes, allowing you to make the necessary choices without the hassle. In addition, there are a set of parts and other components, can make an escarpment well. The advantages of plastic are: the absolute flatness, ease of installation, a huge variety of decorative design, impermeability to moisture, the possibility of replacing individual element without dismantling the whole design.
The cost of the plastic wall panels, which are used for finishing slopes, small and suited for low-budget renovation. Its combination with plastic window blocks just perfect. Expressed slopes disadvantages of PVC panels do not have.
Ready to ditch plastic windows
Useful advice!If in the process of finishing slopes you need to achieve thermal insulation effect, it is recommended to use sandwich panels as a finishing material. Inside them contains polystyrene, which is an excellent insulator.

For external finishing slopes windows used parts from galvanized steel coated with polymer film with the dye. Most often they are used on the facades, covered with metal siding. These parts are specially made for finishing slopes on plastic windows with their hands. Video installation of metal parts for the slopes perfectly illustrates the entire process from beginning to end.
Corrosion resistance and attractive appearance plays a decisive role in the choice of material for finishing slopes outdoors. Metal slopes have a somewhat higher value than the rest of their species.
To create a smooth (perpendicular to the wall) using plaster slopes area
A very popular step is finishing slopes gypsum boards. For this purpose, choose moisture resistant drywall as window slopes have traditionally been considered places with high humidity. The windows always condensation, and such sheets are very resistant to it. You can of course use conventional gypsum boards, but then they must be pre-several times to miss the mark with a primer or a moisture process solution. Heat resistance, excellent thermal insulation and sufficient rigidity sheets allow you to use them without fear in order to finish window slopes.
Construction of the slope made of plastic
Drywall is the cheapest material from all of the above, apart from the plaster. If the damage can be easily repaired by simply gloss over the dent filler and paint. If the humidity inside the room is high, the water vapor is absorbed plasterboard, and the shortage of moisture, they are allocated to the surrounding air, producing a kind of cycle.

Anyone who has ever done slopes of plasterboard with their hands, knows that this material is afraid of excessive moisture. Already 75% of its content in the air is able to stratify the sheets into components. In addition, the slopes of the damage is not so rare. After all, enough low-energy impact to a sheet break or dent on it appeared. Another "disease" of this material is that it eventually appeared different spots, which must be periodically painted over.

Step by step guide slopes device of plasterboard with their hands
Let us consider the process of finishing slopes gypsum boards. Note that there are several ways to mount inside the window opening:
- over a wooden or metal battens. Such a method is used in the case of this finishing plasterboard wall completely;
- using a foam;
- by gluing glue or putty.

So as a way to glueing is the most common, then describe it step by step:
- preparing the surface for finishing. To do this, We grab all the excess foam, cutting her with a knife. Plaster and remove various impurities, and then take a vacuum cleaner and remove the dust from around the window opening. The entire plane slopes are processing primer, simultaneously closing up cracks and potholes using plaster composition. Drywall sheets are treated with a moisture resistant material. This will complicate the penetration of moisture into the interior of the mold and the formation there;
- Plasterboard sheets strictly metered size and cut the workpiece with a sharp knife. Measurements shall be the length and width of the slope. When cutting should take into account the slope angle of the slope with respect to the plane of the window plane. Cut sheet should at the same angle to more reliably fixed parts;
The use of plasterboard for mounting odd-shaped window slopes
Useful advice! When mounting the slopes of plasterboard with their hands on the corners should be installed metal perforated corners. They will ensure their longevity and give smoothness lines.
Quality design slopes of plastic windows with their hands, the video options which need to be sure to see a crucial not only likely to appeal to the eye of the window opening, but also to effectively teplosberezheniya in apartment.
