Metal-plastic windows today enjoy unprecedented consumer demand. They are not expensive, in comparison with wooden double-glazed windows, durable and well isolate the room from outside sounds, dust and wind.

But one correct installation of plastic glass windows is not enough, often the real problem for the population is the design of the window opening, that is, the decoration of the slopes of plastic windows. Many are resorted to the help of professional plasters, but such work is fully able to perform with their own hands without special skills.
Types of decoration of slopes
Sucks is the surface of the walls near the windows. In turn, they are internal, that is, indoors, and outdoor - on the street. Looking carefully the window slopes should not only from the point of view of aesthetics. This is a mandatory requirement from the point of view of maintaining heat in the room, the discovered discovers prevent the windows fogging, and the mounting foam closed in this way will not be drinking moisture destructive for it.
Slopes from plaster
Most often, the slopes are plastered. First, the primer layer is applied, after drying it - several layers of plastering mixture (it can be purchased in any construction store) until the slopes are completely smooth. When the plaster is driving, it must be projected and painted.
The correct execution of this procedure will take about a week, or even more. The disadvantage of slopes from the plaster is their briefness. Over the years, the plaster turns yellow and cracks.
Ducks from plasterboard
The second most popular method of finishing plastic windows inside is the sheathing of window openings by plasterboard. It has good thermal insulation properties, it can also be insulated. If you know the technology, then you can attach slips from drywall in a few days, unlike plastering slopes.
On a sheet of drywall, a measured length and a width, suitable for slopes from all sides, are cut with a jig, suitable for slopes from all sides. The emptiness between the wall and sheet is filled with polyurethane foam, and the plasterboard itself is attached to a dowel. At the same time, there should be some space between the plasterboard and foam. The top slope is attached in the same way. Three hours after the hardening of the foam, all the joints and cracks are lubricated with a putty solution. Metal corners are attached to protect cuts.
The spacure is aligned with the surface of the drywall and after drying it is grouped. Then it must be projected and painted.
Gypsum dwelling is durable, but it is impossible to mount it in a room with high humidity because of its instability to moisture. Otherwise, you need to purchase moisture-resistant plasterboard.
Suns from sandwich panels
The decoration of plastic windows with sandwich panels is performed easily and quickly. Such panels are several layers of plastic, between which the polyurethane insulation is located. Such panels are easy to install with their own hands, they do not require care, is well insulate noise and resistant to weather changes. Before fastening the sandwich panels, the parameters of the slopes are measured for which the strips from the panels are cut: side and one top.
- The construction knife creates an extra mounting foam. Scores on the edges of the window profile fastened the starting profile of the P-shaped form.
- The top sheet of the sandwich panel is inserted into the grooves of the starting profile and is attached to the self-drawing.
- On both sides of the window openings, 4 more profiles are attached to the already existing profile, self-draws. Sandwich panels are superimposed on them.
- On the edge of the window openings on the sandwich panel, the F-shaped profile is attached, forming neat corners.
- If uneven joints turned out, they can be treated with liquid plastic.
It is worth noting the advantages of finishing plastic windows with sandwich panels:
- sunny light resistant, do not burn and do not yellow;
- the design of the panels allows you to finish the slopes at any angle;
- have good noise insulating properties;
- keep warm and do not require additional care.
Suns from cellular plastic
The most simply performing the finishing works of slopes with a cellular plastic or panel. It is glued to the surface of the slope.
For ease of use, a number of shortcomings of this type of slopes are also linked. First, it is important to use more expensive and high-quality panel. Secondly, before launching plastic bands, it is necessary to further insulate the surface of the slope. If this is not done, the slope will freeze and form condensate. In addition, cellular plastic is limited in width, no more than 25 cm.
Slopes from plastic
The slopes from plastic are mounted fairly quickly. Outwardly, they are attractive, they do not burn out on the sun and just wash off from dirt. When installing plastic slopes, mineral wool is used for isolation. Such slopes are able to fulfill without assistance.
Materials for finishing windows
To finish the window with plastic panels, you will need:
- plastic. Its length should be 6 m, and the thickness is 8 mm;
- P-shaped plastic strip;
- drill;
- building scissors, knife;
- insulation (mineral wool fit);
- construction level);
- wooden rails (about 1.5 cm thick);
- stapler for fastening plastic;
- self-tapping screw;
- white silicone.
Terms of installation of plastic slopes
In order to properly secure the slopes of the plastic is important to observe the following sequence:
- When the windows have already been delivered, on the side walls along the slopes drill fasten plastic profiles with grooves, which will subsequently be exhausted plastic panels.
- With the help of self-tapping screws attached U-shaped plastic strip along the outer perimeter of the window. Thus, to get trough.
- F-shaped strip is attached parallel to the gutter the U-shaped strip with a stapler.
- Measured plastic strips are installed in the slots, and between the wall and the plastic laid wool.
- At the end of the window trim plastic panels, white silicone can gloss over places where joints are a bit do not match.
When decorating plastic windows it is important to securely seal the mounting seams. It is known that prolonged contact with the external environment is the destruction of foam, it loses its insulating properties over time and can give glazed inclination. Therefore, in any case, must be carefully insulated foam against harmful effects. Carefully produced plastic windows give them a nice finish and aesthetic appearance.
Exterior finish of plastic windows
Exterior finish window slopes can be done in the following ways:
- The most popular and inexpensive way to finish the outside of plastic windows is zashtukaturivanie. Due to its arsenal just a dry cement mixture, it is possible to quickly cope with the finishing work. And this does not necessary experience in construction.
To yourself plastered outer slope of a plastic window, it is important to observe the following sequence:
- using a knife to cut well slope surface bulging construction foam and remove dirt. Check the evenness of the slopes using a spirit level. It is possible to start plastering walls mixture based on cement and plaster with water;
- additional insulation slopes is not required, foam, and so is the heat insulator;
- plaster mixture layer should cover the window frame and a half centimeters and completely cover the foam;
- wooden bar distributed plaster layer. Angles overwritten. When the last layer has dried plaster - slopes can be painted.
- Finishing of plastic windows tape PSUL
The abbreviation of the psyrals is decrypted as a polyurethane self-insulating sealing tape. This new-fashioned foreign invention is able to reliably protect the mounting seams from moisture, sun rays and frosts. After finishing the slopes of such a ribbon, it expands, filling free space.
From disadvantages of cases, it is possible to allocate that this tape can not always be purchased in stores.
In addition, if when mounting the double-glazed windows turned out to be deeply potholes, then the psul ribbon will not help carefully separated all irregularities. It is also not desirable to paint and process the ribbon surface.
- Finishing of slopes by nachelniki
The finishing of plastic windows is easiest to do with the use of so-called ouschers. These are self-adhesive laminated or plastic strips that remarkably hide all defects left after installation windows. Nachchelniks are of different widths and colors. They highly close the slopes and assembly seams from frost, moisture and temperature changes. It is only important to cut and fasten the nicknames for the size of the window. In addition, it is completely inexpensive building material.
Insulation of slopes
As a rule, window slopes need insulation when the room itself was not covered with insulation even during its construction. If there is an urgent need to warm the window slopes inside, it can be done with your own hands using an ordinary foam.
Stages of insulation Window slopes:
- polyfoam blocks, a thickness of about five centimeters, it is necessary to cut a width with a construction knife, which should be less than the width of the slot one centimeter;
- on previously plastered slope, it is necessary to plant foam sheets, using the mounting foam. Polyfoam must cover the mounting seam;
- foam is also filled with joints between sheets of foam and profile;
- then the insulation from the foam is covered with plasterboard. It can be stuck and painted.
