Instead of metal-plastic windows, it is installed wooden, with the same double-glazed windows and fittings. The reason is wooden cheaper plastic, "breathe". To install a wooden window, it is not necessary to know the installation technology, you must have certain knowledge in the construction area.
Preparation of window opening
Experience the sizes of the window opening with a roulette. Measurements spend in three places - in the upper, middle and lower parts of the window. According to the results, calculate the size of the frame that should be less than the opening. Window opening should look like a rectangle. Between the frame and the wall, refer to the gaps - on the sides of 15-25 mm, 40-60-mm above.
Elimination of the outlook
Analyze the measurement results. If the difference in size is significant and distortion fails to eliminate the modification of the walls, increase the size of the window due to additional plates that are fastened outside the window. Vertically, the size of the frame should be increased so that it becomes higher by 10-20 mm of the highest angle of opening, horizontally - wider by 25-40 mm. After that, make the rails before receiving the permissible size between the window and the wall and secure the rail to the window. Guaranteed gaps between the frame and walls are necessary to accommodate insulating materials and the installation of the window sill.
The high disk of the window opening indicates that the wall is deformed unevenly. In this case, the sash should be opened in the same plane, so the risk of jamming windows during the sample wall is reduced.
Methods of fastening the window
Decide with the way of fastening the window to the wall. In a wooden house, the most common way of fastening is through a frame to the bulk. In a stone or brick, the mount is performed in two ways. According to the first, the window openings install wooden mortgages to which the window frame is nailed. Check the reliability of fastening the mortgage bar. The second case is used if there are no wooden bars. This option requires anchor bolts.
Installation of the window on the pads
The most common way to install the window is on the pads. They are wooden bars with a thickness equal to the gap between the window and the wall, and a width of 120-150 mm. One side of the rail is made in the form of a wedge. Align the surface of the wall into the horizontal plane under the windowsill using a cement screed. Install the support pads on the screed, the height of which is equal to the thickness of the windowsill. Remove from the sash window. Install the window frame on the pads, slide closer to the outside. Check the horizontal frame with the level, verticality - plumb, if necessary, install the frame to the desired position with the help of thrust and support pads. The pads can be treated with a rough skirt.
Remove the pads alternately, apply the pads, frames and walls on the location of the bars of the silicone layer and set them back. Secure the frame to the wall with nails or dowels. Place the slots between the frame and the wall of the mounting foam.
Montage of the window sill
Remove the support pads from under the windows frame. Start a window sill under the frame so that it becomes flush from the outdoor side of the frame and performed at 45-50 mm from the wall. Raise it to contact with the frame, align in the horizontal plane. Remove the windowsill and fill the space under the frame of the mounting foam. Install the window sill to the regular place and fill out all the cracks under it with foam, press the board with a carbon so that the foam does not squeeze it. Install the sash to the regular place, fasten the cast.
Installation technology of a wooden window is simple, you can perform work yourself. But mistakes will be shown not soon and lead to significant alterations. Therefore, while working, more often consult with professionals.
