Types of platbands on windows

Punkers are not just strips framing the window. Sometimes the product is a real work of art, although the functional load is present here. Beautiful platbands on the windows of which we see in the virtual museum of the platbands, you can consider endlessly, without ceasing to be surprised at the sophistication of patterns made by masters using simple tools.

Types of platbands

By the method of installation

Depending on how the installation is performed, the platbands are:

• overhead. They mask the gap between the window frame and the wall. They are attached directly to the wall with special nails that have no hats;

• telescopic. They enter the frame with the help of wings (protrusions). The side view resembles the letter G. Close the technological seam in the buried window most tightly.

Separation in form

The shape of the platbands is found:

• flat;
• rounded;
• figure.

So that the platbands do not become a place of accumulation of rainwater and snow, at the top make a small slope.

Material

• tree. Differs in environmental friendliness and decorativeness;
• MDF - the material is very aesthetic, as it is veneered with a tree of different breeds, but for it, temperature changes, humidity are destructive;
• PVC - does not rot, does not dry out;
• polyurethane - allows you to give the platband any form of durable and suppressive material.

Capaches are carved

The design of carved platbands on the windows consists of:

• kokoshnik - is located at the top;
• lateral parts. They are usually symmetrical;
• towels - are located below.

All these components are driven and glued. It turns out such a fabulous hut.

Frounders made of wood

Wooden platbands on the windows are a classic. The material has been used for so long that it seems that it seems to be known about its processing and protection. The best for platbands are considered:

• oak;
• beech.

These breeds are very solid and expensive, so now they prefer products from:

• pine trees;
• birch;
• alder.

Extend the term for using these products:

• stains;
• varnishes;
• paints.

If you make platbands for your country house on your own, then he will acquire his unique face, which will indicate an outstanding talent of the owner. This is not to say that this is a simple matter, but you can still try? If you try well, then the product will turn out, and you can be proud of.

Where will we start? Yes, from the creation of a reserve of tools, of course.

Tools

Check, maybe you have something from the list, but what not, go to the store. You will have to use:

• with an ax - this is definitely in your barn;
• a ruban - this may not be;
• fugancom;
• with a hacksaw, but not one, but in three:

1. transverse;
2. with small teeth;
3. with oblique teeth.

• Electric drill and drills to it;
• possibly a jigsaw;
• knives;
• chisels.

We make a calculation

In the beginning, it is necessary to decide on the sizes of wooden platbands on the windows, otherwise the work of their manufacture will disappear in vain:

• we measure the top-toe of the window;
• we measure the width;
• we perform a sketch where we put the dimensions.

If you dared to make openwork small parts, it is better to make them separately from a board 0.1 cm thick. Then you glue it. Such a thread is called the invoice. We will consider this option.

Production

There are two types of threads on platbands:

• wolf - more complex, but very sophisticated. Real lace - light and elegant;
• the invoice is somewhat simpler, although many will argue with this statement;
• Sometimes these two types are combined, but this is the highest aerobatics.

Let's start with the frame, that is, the basics of wooden platbands on windows with overhead threads:

• cut the blanks. We take a board with a thickness of 0.3 - 0.5 cm. The main thing is that the platband does not interfere with the windows freely open;
• we perform connecting spikes
• we connect the frame using spikes. Use another method in 1/2 wood;
• for the design of the kokoshnik, the upper base is increased. As a fastener, dips or glue are used;
• running the platband inside:

1. We fasten the upper bar with nails. Material - board 0.2 cm;
2. At the bottom, we fix the water chin. Board 0.3 cm;
3. We mount vertical rails.

• All our carved overhead parts are attached to the frame. Previously carefully polished with sandpaper;
• we make the joints of carved elements imperceptible, for which we carefully adjust them and fasten them using nails. Before nailing, the elements on the sides are lubricated with glue;
• the surface of the platbands is covered with varnish, some paint.

An example of a figurative overhead thread

To decorate wooden carved platbands on the windows, there are many patterns - from the simplest to unusually intricate. Consider the ornament in the form of a flower:

• we perform a template;
• we apply the template to the board;
• we take a large compass of carpentry and cut out a circle;
• now you will need semicircular chisels. We make as many serifs as there will be petals;
• starting from the center, we make samples.

How to make a template?

It is easiest to make a template using a computer drawing program:

• find a photo;
• we load it;
• circle;
• we adjust the scheme for our sizes;
• we print.

Creating a slotted pattern

The pattern consists of holes of various forms.

Peculiarities:

so that fragments do not fall apart, there should be jumpers in the pattern;

the use of the stencil is mandatory.

Technique:

• we put the stencil on the board;
• circle the contour with a pencil;
• we perform the pattern with an electric jigsaw.
