How to install plastic slopes

The windows of plastic can be found today in almost every home. But the installation of the design is half of the case, because you need to take off. Without protection, the mounting foam is capable of quickly gaining moisture and deform with temperature fluctuations. Sucks prevent condensate falling on windows, hide the defects of the opening, improve sound and thermal insulation.

Advantages of plastic slopes

Plastic slopes - the most practical solution when finishing the window opening, because they are inherent in such advantages:

When installing slopes from plastic, a lot of dust and dirt is formed, and the procedure itself does not take away a lot of time - only 2-3 hours.
PVC panels do not fade into the sun, because they are resistant to ultraviolet radiation, do not rot, do not raw and do not respond to the impact of moisture.
Since the material is antistatic, the surface will not collect dust, it is easily leaving to care with an ordinary soap solution.
Plastic slopes are characterized by a high level of absorption of street noise.
The harmonious combination of plastic slopes with PVC windows gives the window work completed.
Low value of slopes made of plastic, if compared with another finishing material.
Plastic is a durable material that will serve you 15-20 years.
When choosing plastic panels with insulation, it turns out to give the slope with additional thermal insulation, which will prevent the heat loss.

Tools and materials

36 hours after mounting the window and foaming the foam, we proceed to the installation of slopes, without moving the protective films from the windows and the windowsill. As a rule, plastic lining or sandwich panels are used to create plastic slopes. The recommended plastic thickness is at least 8 mm, the length of the panel must match the sizes of the window opening, the depth of the slope is not exceeding the width of the panel. For the installation of slopes, except for the plastic itself, prepare such materials: mounting foam, starting strip, tape, heat-insulating material, profile F-shaped, silicone, cement mixture, knop tapes, clips. In the process of work you will need a drill, hammer, trowel, spatula, screwdriver, a gun for applying foam and silicone, a roulette, a rag.

Preparatory work

First, it should be seen formed when installing the plastic window of the gap from the street, to compact the outer mounting seam and hide the foam from the devastating effects of sun rays. To do this, you can use any building solution intended for external work - a putty or a mixture made on the basis of cement. After the external slope, it is worth covering paint - and go to the work indoors.

Frame for panels

At the first stage, you should create a frame for fastening the plastic panels in such a sequence:

To give plastic stiffness around the perimeter of the slope, it is necessary to navigate wooden rails using self-tapping screws as fasteners. The rail is to mount the flush to the wall. She should not hang around.
Fix strictly in a vertical position, using wooden bars and construction level in order to align.

Installation of starting strip

At this stage, you need to secure the starting strip over the perimeter, which is required to install plastic panels. For fastening used Self-tapping screws. Be sure to put the preliminary markup to fill the strip exactly. In addition to horizontal and vertical, it is worth controlling the density of the fitting strip to the inner edge of the window. After that, remove the protective film located on the window and the windowsill, since dusty works will not be.

Fastening F-shaped strip

We will make the manufacture of edging from the F-shaped band, which closes the defective zone around the window opening, which is accepted to lolidate with wallpaper. The strip must be pre-trimmed, taking into account the nestling, which will form after its attachment. The docking spaces of the profile are roasted at an angle of 45 degrees. It is removed after the end of the work with the help of scissors for metal. Figure F-shaped profile for one of two parallel ribs to a wooden rail, starting from the top element. Use the stapler for this.

Installation of plastic panels

When installing plastic slopes, consider such requirements:

The gap that occurs between the panel and the base should be at least 20 mm.
The angle of the side elements of the window slop must be the same on the right and on the left, use the carbon for measurements.
Use the mounting knife and cut the panels if they protrude above the opening.

Now you can enjoy the fastening of the plastic to the frame: first we will produce the upper panel, then 2 side. Plastic need to be placed in the grooves of the starting strip in the far edge of the window opening, by placing the insulation layer for it, which can be used. Secure the panel in the F-shaped profile. At the same time, it is recommended to control the operation using a plumb or level. If the slots were formed during installation, they should be smeared with white construction silicone or sealant.
