Replacement of the window almost always entailssome work with the apertures. No matter how carefully the dismantling was done, you still have to tidy up the slopes. Especially this applies to apartments from the old fund, where in the apertures there are two frames. Often the distance between them is 30-40 cm. Slopes from sandwich panels allow you to hide all these irregularities. Narrow apertures are also better to put in order simultaneously with the replacement of the window.
There are several ways of embedding slopes.The cheapest option is associated with the use of plaster. But small monetary costs require great physical effort. Finishing of slopes-sandwich panels wins in terms of time and labor. In addition, it is very difficult to work with plaster without having the skills.
The second finishing option involves usinghyproc. The slopes of this material are warm, even without additional insulation. But there are some tricks here too. For work it is better to buy a moisture resistant material of higher quality. It is enough to prime and paint. Installation of the slopes of the sandwich panels is very similar to the process of finishing with the use of hypro, but it has its advantages. True, it is not very suitable for sealing arched openings, since the sandwich panel cannot be bent under the radius of the arch. In this situation, it is better to work with hypocom than with plastic.
Another intermediate option thatsuitable for windows of any configuration, is the use of gidrok with the further labeling of a thin sheet of plastic on it. It is rather labor-intensive process, it requires a lot of manpower and money, but it is suitable for any openings.
The slopes of the sandwich panels - the most used finish. And there are a number of explanations for this.
- They are easy to install by hand.
- This is a warmed version of the finishing opening.
- Suitable for any windows regardless of material.
- The minimum time required to complete the entire procedure.
- Convenience of use during the further operation.
- Suitable for walls of any thickness.
- Reasonable price, combining the perfect ratio with the quality of finishes.
All these advantages distinguish slopes from sandwich panels.from the total number of materials. If this option is quite expensive for you, then you can use plastic panels that are available at any hardware store. Their width does not exceed 220-250 mm, so for the decoration of a wide opening we will have to make a joint, which is not very beautiful.
Slope mounting technology, including fromsandwich panels, involves several stages. The sequence of steps is selected for each opening. The most convenient option that is suitable for plastic windows is to use a starting profile. It is fastened to the frame at the time of installation and has special grooves where the panel is inserted. For wooden windows, this method is not suitable. Here it is better to lay the slopes of the sandwich panels on the mounting foam, missed the joints with silicone. But in order not to get involved in this dirty and dusty work, it is more convenient to order windows on a turnkey basis. As a result, you get a neat opening without much hassle.
