Quite often, plastic windows after their installation require an important stage of work on the completion of the structure of the structure. The installation of slopes on the window is not included in the standard list of services, and many construction firms require a separate payment, while not getting the digit. Nevertheless, they are completely able to establish themselves. It is important to know the subtleties of the process so that in the future such slopes are not impaired or the condensate should not accumulate due to possible mistakes.

Problems with incorrect installation of slopes
Determine the incorrect installation of slopes is quite forces visually. Often the problem is manifested itself and, in this case, it is necessary to take urgent measures to eliminate it. We will analyze the most common defects:
- The appearance of condensate on the place of the joint or suture of the slope. Excessive moisture is formed due to the temperature difference inside and outside the room, and contributes to leakage through a poorly laid insulation. In this case, the design of drywall is susceptible to special dangers, since this material is characterized by a high degree of absorption. In this case, the responsibility lies on the installer of the windows, which did not take care of the high-quality sealing of the seams and laid either the insufficient number of insulation or neglected them at all.
- The freezing of slopes on plastic windows is caused by penetration of cold air in winter through emptiness in the mounting seam. If the mounting foam outside the building acts beyond the boundary, then under the influence of ultraviolet and weather conditions, it begins to collapse. In this case, it is likely that the formation of voids through which winter air will be directly acting into the design of the slope, which in combination with warm air inside the room will cause condensate and further freezing.
- No foam in some places when installing low tide. Mounting foam has properties to penetrate any voids and fill them with, but if it blew it inactiously, the free space appears, which leads to the appearance of drafts.
- The main problem when manifesting moisture is the formation of fungus or mold. This has a bad effect on the human body, and besides, the fungus is striking the structure of the walls and the ceiling, contributing to the appearance of microcracks and their further destruction.
- Increased noise. The formation of voids contributes to the penetration of air and noise from the street, reducing the effectiveness of sound insulation.
As a rule, problems arise due to the unauthorized work of installers, therefore it makes sense or contact specialists with a good reputation, or to provide personal control at all stages of work. If the works are carried out on their own, then it will be worth it to be neat and thoroughly filling out all the emptiness by the mounting foam with its subsequent trim.
Materials for window slopes
The following varieties of slopes received the greatest distribution:
- gypsum Carton
- plastic
- suns from sandwich panels,
- returning slopes.
Plasterboard products are characterized by low-cost and ease of installation, but due to insufficient surface hardness, damage is easy for them. In addition, plasterboard is distinguished by increased absorbability, so the traces of the dirt will not be extremely cleaned. In addition, plasterboard absorbs moisture, so it is necessary to use either moisture-resistant varieties or refuse to install structures from this material in places with high humidity.
Nevertheless, such slopes are most popular for a number of reasons:
- speed and simplicity of installation,
- allow you to produce additional insulation,
- ecology Matearil,
- the possibility of cosmetic and restoration repairs.
Plasterboard products are distinguished by durability and their practicality. They are easy to paint and they do not require special skills to install.
Plastic models have gained popularity, because they have a low cost and allow you to create a single design along with a window or door flap. To ensure additional heat insulation, plastic will require the laying of Penozol or Mineral Wat.
Sandwich panels are interesting in that they have a porous structure. Thanks to her, they are better preserved heat, and many manufacturers in addition to glossy or matte, offer slopes with a surface imitating a tree. Like simple plastic, panels are also easily mounted.
Watching - the process is quite time consuming, but still retained a significant number of adherents. It should be noted that the plaster has one advantage over the rest of the methods - the total cost of creating such slopes will be significantly cheaper. In the same way, it is in the rest of it inferior to the indicators of products made of plastic or plasterboard.
Installation of slopes
If the window slopes on the windows are not included in the standard installation of metal-plastic design, then some people begin to wonder: how to make slopes on the windows without resorting to the services of specialists. Such work is quite able to produce yourself, but you need to take into account some moments:
- for accommodation in a typical apartment on the floor above the first, independent installation of external slopes will be a dangerous thing, so this work should be entrusted to experts,
- there is no need to neglect the means of protection. Plastic is unpleasant in that when it is cut, small particles are formed, capable of getting into the eyes.
After the decision to install slopes on the windows using your forces is made, then you need to decide which type of material for them will be selected.
Plaster slopes for plastic window
The method of manufacturing slopes from plaster is already obsolete morally, since modern materials have more advantages and what is important, they are noticeably mounted markedly. For example, if on the installation of window slope from plastic or drywall, it will take 3-4 hours, then plastering work occupy a day or two.
But adherents of this method are still extolled by his advantages:
- high mechanical strength,
- durability,
- the low price of a material component is $ 5 per bag weighing 30 kg.
It is necessary to have minimal construction skills in order to spend all the stages of preparatory work qualitatively:
- the surface under the installation of slopes is cleared of garbage and construction dust,
- from the surface with a spatula and shoe knife, the remains of stone crumb or concrete are removed,
- a knife is cut off the surplus of foam formed after its frozen
- next, the surface is subjected to pre-primer.
It helps to improve the adhesion of the material, thanks to which the plaster is better closed with the surface.
Further, already begged for the manufacture of slopes from plaster. All work is divided into conditional stages:
- Wooden rails are installed on a solution or other adhesive base. In the future, they will fulfill the role of signal lighthouses and should be carefully fixed on the surface to prevent displacement.
- Malks are manufactured for work, which are a flat wooden rail with a nail into it driven into it. In this case, the Malka represents a rule, while the nail sticks out from the plank by 5 mm. To protect the window frame from scratches, on the protruding part of the nail dressing the heat shrink or vinyl tube. The role of the little ones is to evenly distribute the solution, with 5 mm composition should fall on the base of the window frame.
- Further, plaster is applied to the surface, which is evenly distributed through the surface. At the same time, its excessively removed in a timely manner.
- After preproy, the slopes are rubbed with a simple grater. Due to this, the surface acquires a homogeneous structure.
- After the surface is frozen, the rails are removed, and all the angles are corrected using a solution.
- Slopes are putty and prepared under the color.
- The finished surface is painted in two layers. It is recommended to use a special rubber paint that has the following advantages compared to normal:
- due to its structure, there is resistance to deformation when exposed to severe heating or reformity,
- rubber paint does not crack when damaged,
- differs greater durability.
Facing of slopes with drywall
The use of drywall for the manufacture of slopes will significantly reduce the time for their structure and will not require such labor intensity as the method specified above. To work, you will need the following tool:
- screwdriver with a bat for a self-tapping screw
- spatulas 50, 100 and 200 mm,
- rag
- mounting or shoe knife,
- wiping grater
- wallpaper screws with a length of 10 mm.
After preparatory work aimed at cleaning the surface, you need to start using the starting strip. It is designed to visually control the tight fit of the sheet to the surface. With the help of screws is awarded to the window frame. Next mounted a retaliation plank. Fasten it along the edge of the wall. The resulting design will provide the required level and replace lighthouses. In order for the leaf of plasterboard not to be fed, the planks are connected by transverse crossbars. Install them at a distance of 30 cm from each other. In typical apartments, as a rule, make upper, lower and two central. In the apartments of the Old Foundation, it all depends on the height of the window.
There is a simpler way to install plasterboard slopes. To do this, it is enough to cut 10-20 small gypsum squares. Next, the squares are evenly glued to the wall. Be sure to install one by one in each corner and 5-6 to distribute over the surface of the slope. Then apply a sheet of drywall, exhibit the level and look at how much and where the squares need to do. When the preliminary work is made, go to the blowing of the slope itself. For this, glue is applied to the squares, and the space between them is placed by mounting foam. A leaf of plasterboard after installation must be fixed with the strut, so that the foam does not squeeze it. This method allows you to create a slope with higher energy efficiency and noise insulation. In addition, the possibility of siphons and drafts is completely excluded.
Finishing stage - plaster and painted drywall seams. If the slope is not white and the color, the original will still need to paint it in 1 layer of white paint. Then paint it a color layer 2.
Finishing slopes plastic
The dissection finishes with plastic elements acquired the greatest popularity due to their light weight, strength and durability. Unlike the other varieties of slopes, the installation of which must be performed 36 hours after installing the window, plastic are installed immediately after mounting the window sash. For this, the perimeter of the frame is propum and after it is frozen using a knife, smooth recesses are cut. Next, glue is applied in them. Plastic elements are fixed using protrusions on them. Either the slopes with liquid glue are directly glued to the surface and are fixed using snap-on corners.
The SUPPACE panel itself must have the following structure:
- PVC coverage of the same color scheme and texture as the window profile,
- heater from mineral wool or polystyrene foam,
- pVC leaf, resistant to moisture.
Plastic elements are convenient because they can be dismantled and re-installed without resorting to additional actions. Suppose it is done in the case of wallpaper plywood or other indoor repair.
Installation of slopes from sandwich panels
Such panels are interesting in that they have manufacturing styles with imitation of the texture of different materials. In addition, they better retain heat in the room and prevent the formation of condensate.
Like simple plastic slopes, the installation of the sandwich panels is carried out by the same technology. Sunshine is fixed to the starting profile, filling the free space insulation, which is laying behind the plastic. Then, with the help of self-tapping screws, the external part of the slop is fastened, hiding with the helms of the screws of the screws.
If the installation of panel slopes on the windows, the video with the installation of which can be seen slightly lower, assumes the use of brackets as an accessory, the installation is carried out somewhat differently.
The brackets using a bilateral mounting tape are fixed with one side to the slope, the second to the wall, connecting them with each other with self-draws. The side parts of PVC are fixed on the windowsill with liquid nails. After that, all the gaps are being worked with a sealant, while carefully removing the surplus with the help of the veosh and the slope is fixed.
