Installation of plastic windows yourself. One of the main and initial stages of any repair is the installation of plastic windows. I will advise you to be more attentive to this stage.
Let’s start with where we install new plastic windows. Felts will be in the new openings of the house under construction, or already in the room with the early old windows?
First of all, it all starts with the measurement of the opening, this moment is very important in further installation. The openings are both with how to install windows, see the fame and without a quarter. What is a quarter in the opening: this is when the internal size of the opening is less than the outer. The pictures on the right can clearly be seen what is a quarter of the window opening. Accordingly, if you want to check if you have a quarter, you need to measure the size outside and inside the window. Cavities in a quarter are closed with a pen seam.
And so that we have installed a quarter. Now it is necessary to make the right measurement. The frame of the new window should be 20-30 mm, go in a quarter, that is, by width, we must add to the external size, 40-60 mm. We have to correctly calculate the size in height. In height, we only get a quarter from above, which means we add to the total external height of 20-30 mm, but do not forget, about the lower Ponova seam, which should be 10-20 mm. That is, you need to subtract 10-20 mm from the size that you have. Let’s look at the example: if your external width size was 1000 mm, then you need to add 40-60 mm to it, and the finished window width will be 1040 mm. Now let’s figure it out with a height, if the outer size of the height was 1000 mm, then it can be left on it, since by adding 20 mm up we will need to take 20 mm for the lower foam seam. The video lesson will show in detail.
The choice of the configuration of the window block.
Pay special attention to this paragraph, the location of the wall where you are going to insert the window. Think about the general interior. Think about the functionality of this opening, is it required that the window opens? Maybe you want to open up and a hinged option? To share this window wakes up the floors, or it will be whole? Of course, this moment is purely individual, but what options do you have in mind.
Choosing a profile.
Working for seven with windows, I can draw the following conclusion: as a rule, windows are divided into the manufacturer and functionality.We will analyze the manufacturer: the window profile is called a plastic case with a metal guide profile inside. One of the very first, as far as I know, the profiles from Germany, Turkey, Austria, Korea came to our market. One of the most famous foreign profiles is: Rehau, KBE, Aluplast, Wintich, LG and so on. All profiles have proven themselves quite well, but also Russian and CIS countries also joined this market and many profiles appeared. One of the most famous: Novotex, WDS… Here, too, you will decide, for your experience, I will say that foreign profiles are more expensive, but better., But again, this is my opinion.
And so functionality. There is already a little more complicated which window you need? Three chamber, four, five? Let’s try to make out more details. The camera in the profile is the cavities between the walls, respectively, the more cavities, the more cold air it is more difficult to get into your room. In order to break through the partitions to the frost will need more effort. We will conclude five chamber profiles first wider by 10 mm, secondly they have five cameras, which of course is much better. Of course, such profiles will be more expensive than three chamber, but if you look from a different angle, these windows in the future can be significantly saved, for example, for electricity. In winter, these are heating devices, in the summer of a split system, a significant savings are obtained, due to the fact that heat will last longer in winter, and also cool in the summer.
Choosing glass package.
Glass package is a combination of glass, with additional functions. The glass of packages also has cameras. For example, we consider me recommended two chamber 32 mm glass package. Glass package is the coldest place of our window, so as in the case of the profile, the more cameras the warmer, but glass the package also affects the sound of the insulation of the room, there are also no equal chamber package here. Pay attention to the sunny side, if so, then you need to do the tinting of the glass, which in the future it will be pleasant to delight you with a hot summer sun.
Furniture.
Accessories are all opening the closing parts of your sash. One of the main in my opinion, the components of a window block with opening sashs. I would advise the fittings to choose the best, this is not necessary to save. Such famous brands as: Maco, Roto, Gu, Sigenia… Here is a list of those accessories to which you should pay attention.
Well, in principle, we figured out which window you need to choose. Of course, remember what an expensive and good window it was if it is poorly installed, the price and functionality of the window does not wakes up to make any meaning!!!!
