When replacing windows, an additionalthe question of exactly how to make slopes for plastic windows. There are many options at the moment, but not all of them are successful. Consider them, starting with the cheapest from the point of view of the material used.
Slopes for plastic windows can be plastered in several layers. After the appearance of plastic windows, this was the most popular and familiar way.
The plaster layer is applied in several layersaccording to technology. The finishing coat is covered with paint. Actually, nothing new, and everything would be fine, if not for a few "buts" discovered in the process of exploitation. The main problems are an insufficient level of reliability of the plaster and plastic joint and a low value of the thermal insulation of the plaster. This leads to the formation of cracks, the violation of the thermal insulation of the slope and the appearance of the effect of "crying" windows, in simple terms, to the formation of condensation. This method is currently losing its popularity. In addition, it is labor-intensive, requiring a lot of time for implementation.
To replace the first method came variousOptions that implicate the embankment. These include glued slopes for plastic windows (pasting with thin plastic), plasterboard (the upper layer is plastic). Both of these methods, having significant shortcomings, did not take root in the market of construction technologies. Drywall is not suitable for finishing slopes due to instability to dampness, and thin plastic often does not withstand the emerging stresses due to temperature differences. As a result, such slopes are short-lived and quickly lose their external appeal.
Also use polystyrene foam. The disadvantage of this method is short-lived and quick loss of appearance due to color changes. In addition, this material is easily pierced by exposure.
Well proven plastic slopesFor windows made of double-sided sandwich panels. They have sufficient indicators of moisture resistance and vapor tightness. In addition, such slopes are durable and beautifully designed window opening. Installation does not take much time.
Pay attention to what sometimes offerto make slopes for plastic windows from one-sided sandwich panels. This option should be rejected. The cost of such panels is lower, but the quality at the output will be much better. They do not have the proper rigidity and are subject to deformation.
Also, slopes for PVC windows can be made fromsheet plastic, which is also quite viable and is widely used at present. It is important to choose a quality finishing material and not to save on its thickness. Optimal to choose a plastic thickness of 10 mm.
If you do not plan to make slopes forplastic windows on their own, it is very important, like doing any other work, to find themselves skilled workers. It is most reliable to find a person or team on the recommendation of friends. If you can, buy the material yourself.
