Registration of PVC windows after their installation includes a breakdown finish. After the completion of these works, the angles are drawn up decorative corners Or install internal slopes on the windows.

What is the finish of windows

Interior decoration plastic windows Not only decorative function, but also protective. The mounting seam should be reliably protected from the impacts on it so that the window system as a whole function correctly: they did not stuff and did not warm the glass, and the condensate did not accumulate.

The installation seam outside also should be reliably protected from the effects of atmospheric precipitation, wind and sunlight, under the action of which polystyrene is destroyed. It is possible to protect it effectively by installing metal slopes and platbands on the plastic windows for the exterior finishes, which will give the window tummy complete view.

For interior decoration Window opening in the house apply material different species. It can be a decorative plaster, installing on the slopes of plastic windows of PVC panels with their own hands or drywall. It seems to be finished internal slopes decorative artificial stone. To understand which of these methods is better, it is worth considering each of them separately.

Decorative plaster

Performing repair in the house, interior decorative plaster often use as a finishing material for walls. This material will allow you to make slopes on the windows unusual and spectacular.

Decorative plaster is often used for interior decoration

The composition of decorative plaster can include fillers of various fractions and origin - these can be natural wood fibers or stone crumb or artificial granules of various sizes. Decorative plaster is used as a finish layer, creating an unusual textured surface or intricate pattern, like Venetian plaster.

As a material for interior decoration, decorative plaster has in its asset the following characteristics:

• effectively masks the irregularities of the base;
• it can be applied to any base material: brick, concrete, plasterboard, wood;
• this material does not absorb smells;
• safe, non-combustible and environmentally friendly composite;
• has sound insulation qualities;
• with minor base defects, its pre-repair is not required;
• when processing wax or color, the plaster layer becomes moisture-repellent;
• has air permeability;
• repair of the plastering layer is carried out very simply, there is no need to delete all the trim;
  Possible decoration arched window structures.

Types of decorative plastecrockers

Depending on the type of filler and the main substance, decorative plasterings are:

Surface preparation

The durability of the plastering layer depends on the qualitatively prepared surface. Therefore, the decoration of window slopes inside with the help of decorative plaster should begin with the preparation of the base.

Ducks from drywall

The decoration of slopes with plasterboard is performed quickly and does not require special construction skills. Installation is possible with a mounting foam or putty as an adhesive composition or on metal carcass . Plasterboard for windows must have a marking of G Clac.

Plasterboard on slopes can be mounted on a metal frame

For him, the following positive qualities are characterized:

• environmental friendliness;
• affordable cost;
• simple installation;
• decorative when finishing with any materials;
• smooth durable surface;
• durability;
• the possibility of registration of arched openings.

Preparatory work

The surface preparation consists of the following actions:

With the installation of the foam, you can finish the window opening, without having construction skills. It is important to remember that drywall is a fragile material, so it is necessary to cut out the necessary parts from it carefully, without applying efforts.

To get smooth edges in the location of the cut, it is necessary to draw a line on a sheet of plasterboard, applying a ruler, with a sharp construction knife to perform an incision. It is necessary to cut the top paper layer and a bit inner. Then you can shoot a slightly knocked out - plasterboard will be removed by the planted line itself.

Installation on the foam

Finishing of slopes with plastic panels

The decoration of the slopes of windows inside can be carried out with the help of ceiling plastic panels or laminate panels of the Sandwich type. Installing this material is so simple that it is possible to complete the decoration of plastic windows inside with your own hands. How to make slopes in the house for plastic windows from plastic, will be described below.

To finish the slopes from the inside, the PVC panels are most often used.

Sandwich panels are better ceiling due to the presence of a layer of insulation inside. However, ceiling also have thermal insulation qualities due to air chambers between the inner ribs.

Installation and repair of slopes inside the building with the help of these finishing materials are possible due to their qualities:

• pVC slopes are durable;
• the use of panels for finishing window slopes gives them an attractive neat appearance;
• preparation options can be the most diverse due to a wide range of color solutions,
• which have the outer surfaces of the panels;
• possible installation of plastic on arched structures;
• repair of plastic slopes is not difficult;
• easy installation - window openings are separated by their own hands, while the installation does not take much time;
• pVC is well handled;
• discarded from the inside with plastic slopes are easy to care;
• finishing of window openings by this material increases the energy efficiency of the window system;
• interior windows prevents their fogging and freezing.

Installation

How to install internal slides for windows from PVC panels is shown below.

• surplus the mounting foam we remove with the help of a stationery or construction knife;

  To remove foam residues use a stationery or construction knife

• around the perimeter of the window opening near the frame with the help of self-tapping screws fix the wooden bar;

  Fix wooden bar on the perimeter frame

• to Bruck is a starting profile;

  Start profile attach to the bar

• on the outer perimeter of the window we set the rail;

  Rake fixes on the outer perimeter of the frame

• first, it is better to insert side elements;

  Side panels are installed first

• then we insert the top panel, flexing, slightly stupid and fix in the required position;

  Between the top slope and pVC panel Place a small layer of foam

• in the same way, fix the side parts;
• after the design rises, the angular parts are separated by decorative elements - corners or platbands.

  Corners are closed with platbands

Installation of the Sandwich panels can occur in the same way or without a starting profile. In this case, the panel is placed in the groove carved in the mounting foam. This method of installation is relevant when there is no possibility to place a bar on the perimeter of the window frame.

Platbands

Platbands or cash for internal slopes for PVC windows can be performed from different materialsBut its functional purpose is one - protection of the assembly seam from destruction and giving the window to the aesthetic appearance.

Types of mines

Prints differ in each other appearance and functionality:

Flat platbands. This is the easiest and inexpensive view of the ticket.
Profiled platbands have a convex surface of a different profile aimed at enhancing the decorative function of cash.
Shaped platbands may have a complex relief and imitate natural wood.
The carved platband is the most expensive view of the tickets executed under the order by individual sizes.

Materials for manufacture

The most common material for the manufacture of deasure is a sheet plastic. It is used for the manufacture of budgetary plane platbands, which can be used when finishing windows indoors and outside.

This material is not terrible temperature differences, moisture impact or sunlight. Its surface can be laminized and acquired any color or imitate various breeds of natural wood. Therefore, it is not difficult to choose a ticket to the color of the facade of the window.

Dashing from plastic can be performed under any facade

For plastic platforms, deformation from temperature differences and moisture impact are unusted.

Profiled platforms from PVC profile have the same properties, but may have a figure surface. They also apply to internal and outdoor window decoration.

MDF platbands can also be flat or profiled, but they are used exclusively indoors, since the MDF properties do not allow them to be applied in the open air under the influence of environmental phenomena..

For outdoor use, cash can be used from dense foam. This material is easy to handle and install. From the foam you can cut the most intricate and complex forms. It can be decorated with any finishing materials. It has insignificantly low weight, so does not have a load on the wall.

For outdoor decoration Windows can be used foam plastic

The most expensive version of the window is the device of a wooden carved cash. Thread can be performed by manual or mechanized way. Handwork is very expensive due to its individuality and exclusivity.

Cheaper will cost profiled and shaped platbands made of natural wood, made on the machine.

For wooden platbands, careful care is required, since for wood, when using it under the conditions of exposure to the external environment, some disadvantages are peculiar:

• wood can be deformed when absorbed by moisture or crack down as a result of drying;
• such a cashier looks harmoniously on the windows of the tree or on the facades from the bar. On the modern facades Such will be looked ridiculous.

Fastening

Most often, when mounting the platbands on the plastic window, the mounting elements are used, which are fixed on the frame or wall.

Mounting scheme of molding

The use of removable platforms that are attached to special latches allows you to produce fast and high-quality installation.

How to make slopes on windows outside - 4 popular ways

Many of our respectable citizens when ordering windows are forgotten or simply adjusted "to better times" arrangement of outdoor slopes. This is a rather serious mistake that can multiply on zero all efforts to insulate the house. In this article, I will talk about what such negligence can lead and tell how to make outdoor slopes on plastic windows with their own hands in four different variations.

Outdoor slope as an urgent need

You have been going for a long time and finally decided to replace the old ones in your house, disheighted from time wooden Rama On new shining plastic windows with hermetic double-glazed windows. But after this, the problem of the installation of slopes unexpectedly sketched.

According to my observations, people immediately rush to equip windows from the inside, this is closer to your beloved. Outdoor slopes for plastic windows are left for later. But if you feel honestly, from a technical point of view it is a very big mistake.

Window firms far from always really qualitatively seal the perimeter of the window frame. For masters, the main thing is that at the time of the delivery of the object there was not drafts and all the mechanisms worked, the rest does not concern them.

The mounting foam used to fill the gap between the frame and the window opening, the thing is very good. But this substance is not intended for outdoor work, it must be necessary to strengthen anything.

She does not miss moisture and at the assurances of manufacturers is not afraid of temperature drops. But few people mention that ultraviolet rays, outdoors are able to completely destroy the structure of the mounting foam. Simply put, in the sun from your seal very quickly, nothing will remain and the foam will have to blew up.

As I said, builders are not always conscientious about the installation. If you are installed windows in the fall, and the outdoor slopes left until spring, then in small gaps, which, believe me on the word, there is definitely there, water will go, and when frosts will hit, they will simply bloom.

I came across cases when, after the New Year holidays, the hosts were discovered around their newly inserted windows, and urgently in the middle of the winter mounted the external slopes of plastic windows. In parallel, of course, the ruging builders. Although in reality, to blame for this, everything needs to be done on time.

Finally, every normal owner, and especially the hostess wishes his dwelling looks attractive not only from the inside, but also outside. Fortunately, it is important for our people that people will tell about them. And how do you understand, decorative outdoor slopes and create the very complete composition of the composition.

How to make external slopes yourself

In general, the technology of arrangement of external and internal slopes is not much different. All difference in materials. For example, if the design is decided to make out of plastic, then you need to take PVC panels for outdoor work, the same applies to the plasterboard.

And now let's talk about what kinds of outdoor finishing for the windows are now used most often. If briefly, it can be deleted from drywall, plastic or sandwich panels, made of metal, plus there is still an outcatter option.

Whatever way to arrange external slopes you have chosen, the window frame should not overlap more than 10-15 mm. If you capture more, this will not affect this, but the frame will look closed.

Method number 1. Old good plaster

Plaster There is as much as they build at home. Although it is considered pretty simple way Arrangement, a certain skill in order to apply it outside with their own hands still needed. Professionals, of course, work almost without preparing, lovers, I recommend doing slope for beacons, so easier.

• Before you start, you need to cut the remnants of the mounting foam. Next, it should be carefully cleaned all the visible slots and cracks around the perimeter. Outside, they often bump moss and clogged with mud;
• Classical instruction prescribes all crevices to sharpen. But personally, I do not hunt with it, so I fill all the deepening and gaps of the mounting foam, and after it dries, cut off the surplus;
• The first is the metal window sill, in order to do the side slopes on its base.. Everything is simple here, under the windowson, you need to launch everything, that is, to close the foam-cut with a previous one. Special beauty in this case is not required, so you take a regular spatula and smear everything you see. After that, attach the windowsill to the frame by self-drawers;
• It's time to install beacons now. Some homemade stops from wood or drywall in this case are not worth it, now there are enough plastic and metal lighthouses, and the price for them is kopeck;

When you work on beacons with a snow-white or just a light plastering solution, lighthouses are better to buy white plastic. If you still decide to take metal lighthouses, then buy a stainless steel or, in extreme cases, galvanized. Ordinary steel will begin to rust sooner or later and red-hot drips will appear on your slopes.

• Planks are installed by two tracks parallel to the window frame, that is, around the perimeter. The first track is mounted in a pair of centimeters from the window frame. The second not far from the edge of the wall. I usually install beacons on plaster cakes with an interval of about 30 - 40 cm;
• Lighthouses must be installed so that when you attach us a rule or a wide spatula, the tool slice was in a pair of millimeters from the edge of the wall. As I said, the plaster should go on a 10-15 mm;
• Now a few words about how to plaster. Previously, all such works were performed by standard cement-sandy solution. Now there are construction mixtures. Of course, it is better to work with mixtures, they initially have white color And do not require subsequent staining.
  But if you strive to save on everything, the basis of the slope can be made from the cement-sandy solution, and on top of it we apply a thin layer of about 2 mm white or color finish;

• The technology itself looks like this: you will need to take a culma or a small metal spatula and pushing a plaster solution on the slope so that the mixture is slightly towering over the lighthouses;
  After that, take the rule or a wide spatula, rest on the blade on the lighthouses and gently keep up the bottom up. The first time it will not be perfectly aligned, some empties will remain. Therefore, further mold them with a solution and again align the rule, to the perfect state or yet it will not begin to like it;

• Some wizards, after the solution clutches a bit, pull out lighthouses and fill these furrows with a solution. I do not advise you to do this, since the beginners are great, the likelihood spoil all the work. You can carelessly pull the bar, after which the whole or most of the plastering layer will collapse;
• If the upper sections of beacons are visible on your slope, then take a spatula and apply a thin layer of finish plaster;
• When the solution is completely dry, take a small emery or better grouting grid for plastering and gently grind the surface to the perfect state.

It is believed that at the cost of plastering costs the cheaper. Although in reality it is true only when you use cement-sandy solution. Modern mixes is a quality, but far from cheap.

This type of slopes has one unpleasant feature. The coefficient of thermal expansion of plastic and plaster monolith differ. Therefore, after a few years, a small crack is formed between the slope and the frame. It is not worth upset about this, as it is easily embarrassed by silicone for 5, a maximum of 10 minutes.

Method No. 2. Plastic Finish

In this form, the finishes can be used as PVC and sandwich panels. The first option is almost half cheaper. But the second, much more practical.

Sandwich panels are made on the principle of sandwich. On both sides, they have the same polyvinyl chloride, and in the middle, the panel is filled with polyurethane foam. Naturally the insulation effect of such a coating is several times higher.

From the point of view of installation, the technology in both cases is absolutely the same. With the only difference that PVC cladding is much thinner than the panel sandwich. Naturally, the entire material should be designed for outdoor work. Otherwise, after a few months, plastic will yellow.

• The base here is preparing exactly as well as when plastered. That is, cleaning the perimeter of the walls, the gates of the gaps, the smelting of the foam with putty and the installation of the outer window sill or as it is also called, low tide;
• Plastic facing is good because there is a lot of diverse accessories. In this case, we will need starting P-shaped profiles and finish corners on the latches;

• The first is mounted starting P-shaped profile. To do this, you need to place the installation location and fasten the profile to the frame using the screws. According to the rules, the self-tapping screw can be driven in a step of 300 - 350 mm. But I prefer not to save and screw them out at a distance of 150 - 200 mm from each other. Self-tapping screws should be taken on the metal, since the frame of the frame is made of metal galvanized. And, in fact, we cling to it, and not for the upper plastic coating;
• On the edge of the wall with dowels "quick installation" or ordinary nails (depending on the material from which the walls are folded) is fastened with a special tongue for fixing the external finish corner;
• After that, you need to thoroughly measure and make the pattern of side slopes. The top plate you will cut after install the side, in order not to be mistaken;

• Then I do this: on the inner edge of the plate or on the wall I nano a couple of strips of the mounting foam. Do not forget that wherever you do not make a foam, the foundation should be moistened. Foam here will act as glue and as a insulation at the same time;
• If the walls are brick or wooden, then you can kill the edge of the plate with several carnations. In the case of a concrete basis, you will have to periodically press the slope to the wall until the foam stops its extension. Some masters instead of foam use liquid nails, I tried, it turns out not so tightly;
• At the end, the finish corner is installed on the edge of the wall. As you remember, under it we mounted a tape. But before you snap it into place, the inner edges of the corner should be abundantly lubricating the sealants. The entire structure of such a cladding is shown in detail in the diagram below.

There is one more point: no matter how much you try to extinge and cut off the plates, in any case there will be small gaps between them in the corners. In order, the water did not register them, these gaps need to smel out by sealant in the color of plastic. And do not save on sealant this is not the case.

Method number 3. Use drywall

To be honest, I most impressed this method. But I repeat once again, the plasterboard should be taken not simple, but waterproof, for outdoor work, otherwise it will quickly rays and crack.

In part, the technique of trimming by plasterboard reminds the above described method of arrangement with plastic. But in this case there are important nuances:

• Preparation here is similar, we have already spoken about it;
• The scheme how to make the arrangement of slopes of drywall looks like this: the sheets themselves are much harder than plastic and they need to be more carefully fixed at all points.

First, we need to securely fasten the sheet at the point of joining it to the frame. There are 2 ways of such installation:

1. In the first way to a wall of dowels, a wooden plank is mounted in a parallel frame. It should touch the edge of the window frame, and the plasterboard will be overlap. The method is good, but you need to pick up the planks, process them with an antiseptic, to extinct, fasten, in general "Morki" enough;
2. I am more impressed by the second way. A plastic P-shaped profile or a metal M-shaped profile is taken here and is fixed on the frame with self-draws. Just as in the case of plastic facing.

I prefer under plasterboard to install a metal perforated M-shaped profile. It is screwed to the frame with such a calculation so that the sheet of plasterboard leafs under the wing of the profile. The leaf itself is fixed with small-scale wood screws.

• After the workpiece under the slopes are cut out, you will need to remove from the outer edge of the facial sheet. It is of course that you can do this with a file, but it is much more convenient to shoot a chapecart with a carpentry plasterboard;
• In this case, stick plasterboard by mounting foam, as we did it with plastic panels, not desirable. It hurts heavy material. The benefit now there is a lot of building compositions for working with plasterboard, and choose the adhesive you will not be much labor;
• Further, divided by the glue, apply a celma or a spatula to the edge of the wall and press the sheet cabarton sheet to it. You do not need to try to fill in glue the whole cavity is superfluous, because glue is expensive. Sufficient layer of a depth of 3 - 4 cm;
• Sheets of plasterboard have, to put it mildly, not quite presentable. Therefore, they will need to still shock. For external work under the plaster, it is necessary to mount the reinforcing fiberglass mesh, the so-called sperphanka;

• To keep this sickle well, the sheets are pre-covered with soil and a layer of starting plaster thickness of about 2 - 3 mm is applied to them. After that, while the stucco is still wet, it takes off with a spatula reinforcing grid and all this is left to dry;
• When the starting layer is completely driving, it is applied a thin layer of finish plaster and after drying it is grouped. This process is similar to how we treated the surface in the first method (plastering of slopes).

In order not to spend money on the starting plaster when mounting the sickle, it can be changed on the construction glue. This is exactly the glue that you fixed plasterboard on the wall. According to the experience I can say that he always remains.

Method number 4. Metal slopes

Metallic outdoor slopes on the windows can be called the hit of the season, as it is more precisely, to install them with your own hands compared to previous options, in my opinion, is the easiest way. The problem is only that they are not suitable for each design, plus the price is higher.

Most often metal is mounted in a wooden house. Wood itself is not stable material, and lining such windows with plasterboard or plaster quite risky. After a few years, the slopes can just crack.

This cladding of metal is made with a thickness of 0.4 to 1.2 mm. In essence, this is the same technology that is used in the manufacture of a professional sheet, only the form of the profile is different here.

Do not choose iron slips from the maximum thick sheet. The fact is that the metal thickness up to 1 mm can be cut with scissors for metal. It is much easier and faster than casting a thick leaf with a grinder.

The metal here is covered with powder spraying, which ensures unique durability, resistance to ultraviolet radiation and corrosion protection.

Metal profiles are sold in finished form, you, in essence, you only need to carve out profiles in the size of your window openings and secure self-pressing with pressshaba.

But directly to the wall, even in a wooden house, attach such profiles rather problematic. Therefore, a peculiar doom is nuts under them. I use wooden planks for this.

They are fixed on the window opening, about the same way as lighthouses are installed when they are plastered with their own hands. Only it is done not to gypsum cakes, but on the self-tapping screw or anchor bolts in the case of a concrete basis. The thickness of the planks is taken from 30 mm.

Such slopes are produced in different colors and in order not to spoil the appearance of the hats of the screws, the self-tapping screws in the color of the coating should be taken. Such a good in the construction supermarkets of the trade officials more than enough.

Below you can see the scheme on which it is shown how to make an outdoor slope on plastic windows of metal.

Finally, I would like to draw your attention to another moment. Often you can find tips on which it is recommended to fill out empties between the wall and the slope of mineral wool.

So, mineral wool material, first, hygroscopic. And secondly, it is flattened and after a year, there will be no sense from such insulation. As a rule, I do not use additional insulation at all.

But if you like this idea, fill the cavity by foaming (foam in liquid form). Or use basalt wool in the form of dense stoves. Of course, they also gain moisture, but this material does not fit. There is still such an interesting thing as the outernik outdoor, it ensures the tightness of the perimeter of the frame and serves as an additional insulation.

In order for you to make it easier to navigate whether to do with your own hands or entrust professionals, I made a small table with tentative prices for such a job.

Output

In essence, nothing is evil or difficult in this work, so we can safely be taken for independent arrangement of outdoor slopes. In the photo and video, this article shows practical moments of work. If you have any questions, write them in the comments, talk.

Today the replacement of windows has become a very common phenomenon. Old frames are still actively replaced with modern counterparts from plastic metal and wood. The installation process itself occurs quite quickly, which you will not say about the finishing of windows outside, since a number of technological requirements are presented to this procedure, and from aesthetic point of view, the owner must remain satisfied. In the article we will analyze various ways to create beautiful and reliable slopes and framents, focusing on materials and methods of their installation.

So, why it is worth paying close attention to the correct finishing of windows outside. The first thing comes to mind is a neat appearance of the building. Without a high-quality frame, you can not count that your home will look carefully. Slopes and platbands are actively used in the formation of the style of the structure, its design, but not only. In many respects, they directly affect the comfort of people's stay inside the structure:

1. Installation technology window Rams It requires leaving the technological gap, that is, they never put close to the walls. The resulting lumens are needed to compensate for the construction of the structure as a result of shrinkage and even seismic activity, as well as the window system itself at temperature effects. In violation of this requirement of technology, any changes would lend to the deformation of the frames, because of which the windows would stop opening, and possibly the glass would be squeezed.

2. The leaving technological gaps are the straight paths of the heat transfer of the room and the street, so they are necessarily insulating. Previously, for these purposes, pass, wool, felt, now it is mostly assembly polyurethane foam or mineral wool.

3. All specified types of materials are rapid enough, if contact with the atmosphere, moisture, wind, ultraviolet rays, why and need reliable protection.

As protection, a coating of materials that are immune to the factors mentioned above is used. At the same time, they should have sufficient attractiveness and relate to systems with which the facade of the structure is separated. In other words, the explanation material should externally and technically combined with the material of the walls.

Shutch type slopes

The windows can relate differently to the plane of the walls - either they are recessed inside and there are perpendicular slopes, or they are set to one plane. In the second case, to protect the insulation, only a false platband is required, but a similar solution is implemented mainly, only during the construction of a new house, or the old windows were established in the same way. Make a platband is much easier than Sunny.

So, the first on our list will be plaster slings. They can rightfully wear the title of classical option.

For such slopes, a sand-cement mixture is used, from which the outline of the window opening is fully formed. Today, this method is not so popular as before, but many still consider it the most reliable and durable solution.

They use them if the walls of the facade of the structure are either completely plastered, or an architectural element is formed from the solution, which will be harmoniously combined with the material of the walls.

The advantages of such slopes is the availability of materials and a fairly simple manufacturing technology, such a finish is resistant to atmospheric influences, it looks simple, but neatly.

An experienced master will make high-quality surplus within a few hours if it comes to a simple rectangular form. Complex compositions with non-standard geometry may require a lot of time. It is almost impossible to make this one without experience and templates.

Cement plaster requires a certain time to dry out, which will not allow immediately decorate the structure. It is also worth considering that such work are dirty, therefore it is worth showing accuracy.

Interesting to know! You can use any plaster mixtures, including decorative, for example, a core. It all depends on the designer approach.

How to make a plaster slope

Now let's figure out what is required for such work, and in which sequence it is performed. Tools are preparing the following:

1. Capacity for mixing the plaster mix.
2. Electric tool for kneading - mixer, electric drill, perforator.
3. A set of spatulas for applying a mixture, corner culma, as well as a trowel to throw plaster.
4. Tools for removing the slope of the slope - plumbing, bubble construction level, laser disbeller.
5. Wide brush with soft bristles.
6. Plaster grater.

From the materials get the following:

1. Ready dry plastering mixture or sand cement, If you decide to save a little. There is no means a lot of material on the slopes, so it is better to buy it in the finished form, since in the factory composition there are plasticizers in the right proportions, which adds a solution of elasticity - in general, it makes working with it more comfortable.
2. Putty mixture.Compositions are used for outdoor work, including decorative plaster, applied only as the finishing layer.
3. Primer deep penetration for external work,which will reduce the water absorption of the base and strengthen it.
4. Fireproof for reinforcement reinforcement. It is worth this material inexpensively, but significantly strengthens the concrete layers, so do not neglect them.

When choosing a finished solution, we advise you to pay attention to the additional properties of the material. Thanks to the use of some additives, the compositions can be profitable to differ from the classical sand-cement mixture. For example, heat-insulating plaster will additionally insulate your window. It includes foam glass granules, perlite, vermiculitis, which gives such properties. Everything else, the material is moisture-resistant. It is often applied and fiber fiber for additional amplification.

Now let's see step by step, how the slopes are placed. In fact, the technology includes only two stages - the exhibition of beacons and work with a mixture. If at the second moment everything is unambiguous, then the first has many versions. Today we will analyze a modern way, which will help everyone to make a qualitatively even newcomer, who did not encounter such earlier.

Table 1. Plastering of slopes.

Photo, steps	Description
	First, the base must be cleaned of dirt and dust. This is done with the help of a conventional brush. Next is applied by a soil layer, which needs to dry well. Drying time is indicated on the bank with the composition. This stage is mandatory, since, due to the low adhesion, the plaster can fall off over time.
	The installation of this element is considered to be the most difficult, but not only the option that we will offer you. Before you a special beacon profile for slopes with arms and a sticky base. It is cheap, but saves a bunch of your time and nerves. Installation occurs in the following order: 1. From the edge of the frame is precated exactly to the width of the profile. You can navigate directly along the edge, but we advise you to put additional tags in the level so that you do not have to tear off the glued profile during drying, and the window itself can be inaccurate. 2. The protective tape is removed from the reverse side to release the adhesive base. 3. The profile is glued by tags. Attention! If you have a very wide break, increase the glasswork using a separate intake.
	The second lighthouse can also be done in different ways. Take a specific example in which the master is used by the metal rule and smooth segments of plywood sheets. The rule it is attached as follows: 1. In the wall at a certain height, two holes are drilled in which plastic dowels are inserted. 2. Then the homemade clamps are installed, as in the photo consisting of a platform and a short support on one side. The site made a slot under the self-sufficiency so that height could be adjusted. 3. Under the free end of the clamp, the rule is set, it is shown clearly by level, after which the screws are delayed for reliable fixation.
	Lighthouses on the side walls are much easier. The photo shows another option. A plywood is used, in which the ranges are made to allow for quick adjustment of the position of the element. It is also attached to a dowel. All outdoor lighthouses are set strictly at an angle of 90 degrees relative to the window frame on the inner lighthouse. The undoubted convenience of such a solution is the installation speed (no need to wait for the drying mixtures under beacons) and the ability to quickly adjust the position when assuming errors.
	Next, the plaster mixture is mixed. It must be thrown into the discovery in order to reliably stick to the base. Attention! In no case is not allowed to smear the solution, only throwing. If desired, plaster can be additionally strengthened. To do this, the dowel-screws are tightened to the base and do not reach the end. The protruding hat will significantly strengthen the slope structure. 1. The applied mixture is pulled by a rigid spatula for beacons. You can use any smooth and durable rail. 2. We achieve perfect surface evenness. 3. After some time, the plaster must be lost. 4. Outdoor lighthouse is removed after dying off. Tip! To avoid sticking the solution to the plywood, the last can be deceived by spent oil or covered with a polyethylene package. This measure will further increase the service life of the device.

So, if the plaster is a solid coverage of the slope, then there is also a frame type when an empty space remains inside, which can be additionally insulated. The choice of material for such solutions directly depends on the type of construction of the structure. Sucks can be made of plastic, wooden lining, vinyl or metallic siding, a near square profile, a metal cassette element. Installation of these materials is almost identical, so we did not separate them.

Review the following photos with similar slopes.

Each of the listed materials has its own set of characteristics, however, none of them provides the window system with an additional heat shield as special compositions of plastering mixtures. However, there are methods of insulation of such slopes: internally, the space is filled with polyurethane foam or mineral wool.

Installation occurs according to the following scheme:

1. A frame is exhibited, which can be external and inner, or only outdoor. In the first case, the belt is attached from the rail or metal profile near the window frame and the same on the outer perimeter of the slope. In the second - only the outer element - the internal is replaced by the starting profile, which is attached directly to the frame. The last solution is suitable for plastic and thin lining.
2. All frame elements are exhibited clearly by level, as they fully determine the geometry of the future slope.
3. They are attached differently, depending on the material. Most often, anchor and metal suspensions are used as fasteners.
4. An eliminated cast cell according to the concrete material attachment scheme. For example, wooden lining can be held at the expense of nails and screws directly or through metal brackets - kleimers, and siding is held due to self-tapping and special fastening profile.
5. The outer angle of the slope is closed with a decorative element. These are usually overhead, examples of which you could see in the photos shown above.

Make a frame slope is much easier than plaster, while it is not required to additionally process it in 90% of cases. The product starts its service life immediately after installation. Everyone would be great, but not every material will serve for a long time. Painted elements over time fade into the sun, the tree can rot and change its color. You can repeat the painting, but it will not be like a factory, and the slopes will definitely lose in appeal. But plaster surfaces can be updated an unlimited number of times.

Decorative elements for windows

Agree, the usual slopes will not surprise anyone today. How can you put the look of your home? For these purposes, various elements and techniques are applied, which can be combined with the types of slopes described earlier.

1. Forming windows can be polyurethane overlays.They are installed on glue, so it is necessary to provide an even base with good adhesion. They are suitable for brick walls.

2. Smooth plastered slopes will serve as a great base for finishing various decorative materials. The photo shows the window decoration option outside decorative artificial stone.Also beautiful will look clinker and porcelain tiles.

3. Extruded polystyrene foam also used for similar purposes. Such systems consist of corner elements and direct profile. It all sits on the glue. Color you can choose any of the available, or paint the material yourself.

4. In cases of facade updates with brick Decorative MasonryThe windows can be separately lay out with shaped products to give them an unusual beautiful view.

5. Cheerful, you can use the services of professional masters who can create such masterpieces stucco.Watching such windows are very, beautiful, luxurious and rich.

6. Sandrik - This is a small architectural element above the window, which can be made of concrete, gypsum, polyurethane and foam. The complexity of the installation of the part depends on the material.

7. Pyramidal or wedge-shaped decorative elementmanufactured from the same materials. Installed on the top of the arch or arch, above the window.

8. Under the window can be installed false balasins.

It is worth noting that the definition of the necessary decorative elements - The case is quite complicated. If you overdo it, then instead of beauty, there will be wilderness and chaiselessness, so do not be afraid to use the consultations of professionals. Of course, they take money for their services, but remember that you create an appearance at home and will look at it for more than one year, and from contemplation you and the audience should appear only positive emotions.

Outdoor slopes on the windows is an integral part of any home. For such works can be used different kinds Finishing materials. All processes must be held according to the rules, taking into account technological features outdoor work. If you observe all the nuances, it will be possible to get a reliable and beautiful coating.

The need for external slopes and the choice of material

Finishing window slopes outside are necessary for the following reasons:

1. Create additional and reliable protection of the window design and adjacent walls.
2. Fully secure the installation seam from the destruction, which occurs in a rather short time if it is not closed.
3. Increase the heat and waterproofing properties of the room, as well as reduce the noise level coming from the street.
4. To reflect the surface, create a coating that will be harmonized with a common type of object.

On a note! All work on the facing of slopes must be carried out in as soon as possible, after installing window frames. Otherwise, the probability that the design will be subject to deformation.

Finishing of outdoor slopes serves the protection of the window structure from external factors

It should be noted that for such work can be used. various materials. Many mistakenly believe that the finish from the outside of the house is performed exclusively from the metal. In fact, it can be applied:

• Stucco (putty).
• Plastic.
• Styrofoam.

Naturally, each specific product requires proper use, compliance with the nuances of the installation.

Preparation options for outdoor window slopes

Finish with various materials

Exterior finish begins with preparatory work. This procedure is mandatory for all options. It suggests the following manipulations:

1. All protruding elements are removed from the surface.
2. The reliability of all sites is checked. If there are defects, they are removed.
3. Gaps and cracks are covered with primer. The composition should be deep inward.
4. Next, when the ground dries, the design is wrapped with putty.
5. Outdoor window decoration requires additional applying sealant. It must cover all sections of the mounting seam and part of the adjacent wall.

Preparation of the surface to the installation of outdoor slopes

Thus, the main works begin only after all the preparatory stages are performed.

There are certain rules that will make the best quality:

• The first is set. It is better to produce from special metal panels for the outer finish of window slopes.
• Surplus of mounting foam are carefully cut. It is necessary to perform the process extremely gently so as not to damage the seam itself.
• Sealing should be carried out before and after installing slopes.
• Under all metal parts should be plated sealing tape.
• Overhead elements (corners) are used only by two vertical and upper (horizontal) plane. The lower fragment (sump) should not have overlays at the external end.

Installation of slopes begins with low timing

To purchase only high-quality material. If you choose cheap options, the design will lose your reliability and appearance literally after one season.

Metal external slope

The decoration of plastic windows outside (or their wooden analogs) with a metal is a simple method that most firms involved in the installation of window structures. Naturally, such work can be performed independently.

It is very convenient that such panels are ready for work - they have the necessary bends. Of course, you can cut off the sheets of galvanizing, which then process. But the data of manipulation take too much time.

Metal slopes look very aesthetically and differ in long operation

Installation is performed in several stages:

1. The initial measurements are carried out. The diagram of the elements is drawn up.
2. Detailing is transferred to the panel, which are trimmed with metal scissors.
3. Each fragment is installed in its place. The first one is set, then two vertical racks and horizontal top.
4. It is necessary to check that all elements are correctly made to the specified areas. Each detail is screwed to special self-tapping screws to the window frame.
5. All joints are additionally sealed.

On a note! Such a finish of external slopes of windows requires the mandatory presence of a sealing tape. This will avoid unpleasant noise that will appear in any environmental impacts.

All work is carried out very quickly, without the use of special tools. The main thing is to achieve high-quality trimming. This will determine the correctness of the installation.

Using plastic

Plastic is considered the most versatile material, it is perfectly harmonized with metal-plastic windows. It is possible to achieve such a combination that the feeling of unity of the whole design appears.

Window slopes from plastic have the following advantages:

• Installation does not require special skills and a lot of time.
• No need to carefully align the surface before installing the elements.
• The characteristics of the material allow you to create a reliable protection against the penetration of cold and moisture.
• The durability of such a product is calculated by decades.

Plastic - universal Materialwhich is often used to finish outdoor slopes

On a note! It should be borne in mind that no simple plastic is used for work (panels for walls). For lining, a special version is used, which are designed for outdoor work. Therefore, such products are characterized by a high cost.

Plastic outdoor slopes on the windows with their own hands are set as follows:

There are slopes for plastic windows that are already cut by standard size. Their installation is much easier.

Sandwich panels

From year to year, this option only enhances its popularity. And it is not surprising, because this product has a lot of advantages:

• Service life, which is 15-20 years.
• Prostate mount.
• Excellent characteristics.
• Ability to withstand environmental impact.

On a note! The sandwich panels differ from the plastic in that they have a more advanced design. So, between two protective layers is placed a layer of insulation.

Plastic sandwich panels have a layer of insulation, which guarantees additional windows insulation

Finishing the outer slopes of plastic windows is performed by a fairly simple scheme:

1. All necessary preparatory procedures are carried out.
2. On the perimeter of the window frame, a special profile is installed, which will serve for quick installation.
3. On the outer part of the slopes - the wooden structure is mounted.
4. Careful measurements are performed, the detail scheme is compiled.
5. The panels are cut into the elements that the surface is lined. So, first, fragments are inserted into the profile, and then fixed on screws. Self-tapping screws are screwed through the insulation and one protective layer, which does not disrupt the integrity of the facial part.
6. The subsequent finish is performed.

If required, you can produce additional insulation. The material uses foam or foam.

Application of plaster (putty)

This method considers traditional, but differs in many flaws:

• There is a need to constantly update the surface. I.e repair work It is necessary to spend quite often.
• The material does not provide opportunities for diverse decorative processing.
• Facing takes a lot of time and strength. To get good quality, you need to use certain skills.

Regardless of this, the finishing of the slopes of windows outside with a putty is one of the cheapest ways. It is performed as follows:

1. Immediately determines the scale of work. If you want to apply less than 0.8 - 10 mm layer, then only putty is used for finishing. When the layer is assumed to be greater thickness, the plaster is initially stacked, and then the finish putty.
2. On the perimeter of slopes are mounted lighthouses. For greater convenience, a guide river is recorded from the outside of the outside. She repeats over the edge, this distance is calculated on the basis of the thickness of the applied layer.
3. Prepared solution is attacked by the separated area. With a wide spatula or rule - smoothed. If several layers are applied, each must be prejudge.
4. At the final stage, everything is checked by level. Lighthouses and rails are deleted, installation locations are embarrassed. Additionally, you can put the reinforcing tape and perforated corners.
5. After complete drying - primer and decorative coating are applied to the external slopes.

Stucco - one of the cheapest, with the time-consuming options for finishing the window sloping

Finishing of the window opening with the use of foam - repeats the stages described. But the insulation acts as the basis of the base, which is fixed with the help of dowels, and then finish with putty. In this case, it is necessary to use reinforcement.

Conclusion

There are many different wayswhich allow you to perform outdoor work on the facing of slopes. The main thing is to take into account that the product will be subject to the constant effects of the aggressive environment. Therefore, it is better to apply proven options.

After the window is installed, you need to process everything that is around it - the seams, joints, slopes. Otherwise, the mounting foam will be collapsed from rain and ultraviolet, water, frosty air, noise and insects will begin to penetrate the gap. Not to mention the fact that untreated slopes and seams look untidy. Finishing windows outside is waterproofing, insulation and aesthetics at the same time.

Basic materials finish - siding (PVC or metal), plaster, plastic panels, tree, stone, ceramics. If windows overlook the glazed balcony, you can strip drywall slopes. For insulation, foam is suitable for aesthetics - stucco.

Video "Finishing windows outside":

Regardless of the selected finish option, it is necessary to align the plaster of the wall of the opening, and to close the same mounting seams (except for slopes wooden houses). On plaster slopes, this can be limited to, only sanding the walls and cover the facade paint.

IMPORTANT: Stucco must fully close mounting foam And enter the frame for about one and a half centimeters. If, when processing slopes, the layer turns out very thick, you should use the reinforcing grid.

Plaster slopes

Wet finishing windows outside (as in the photo) is the cheapest, although the most energy-intensive way. Suitable for stone, concrete, brick, plaster facades.

Lack of plaster - poor grip with PVC. Between the window and the slope may later form a crack. To eliminate this disadvantage, there is a strip of silicone sealant about 5 millimeters between the plastering wall and the frame.

Before starting work, the opening is cleaned from dirt and ground. Stucco are performed by lighthouses. It is recommended to install temporary wooden planks at the edges of the opening: they will perform the function of the formwork. The maximum thickness of the layer of plaster is 7 mm. Before applying the next layer, the previous one must dry. If the layers are several, use the reinforcing grid.

For aesthetics, you can stick to the windows of false-platbands from the foam. They are planted on cement mortar, reinforced with a glasswork, covered the finish layer of plaster. After frozen, the whole opening is grinning, ground, stained or decorated with decorative plaster.

A good option of finishing a simple plaster opening is to decorate stucco. There are ready-made elements from foam, polyurethane foam, gypsum on sale. It should be remembered that the use of gypsum for external work is limited, because This is not a waterproof material.

Plastic panels

For PVC windows, the appropriate facing option is vinyl siding or plastic panels.

Finishing windows outside siding is made as follows:

1. Cut the foam protruding over the edge of the frame.

2. Fasten the starting P-shaped profile on the perimeter.

3. At the outside edge of the slopes to strengthen wooden slats.

4. Cut the plastic blanks according to the dimensions of the slopes.

5. Insert the workpiece into the profile, lay under it the insulation.

6. Secure the second edge by self-draws to the rail.

7. Close the external edge of the slopes F-shaped profile or platband.

8. Shakes in the corners to smell with silicone sealant.

Similarly, plastic sandwich panels are installed. The Senvich-panel is a sheet of heat insulator (usually PPU), located between two sheets of plastic. Additional insulation is not required.

Siding is used to process slopes when they are trimmed by the facade. The material includes the shaped elements for treating corners of the house, window and door openings and other non-standard parts of the structure. The color scheme of vinyl siding is large enough, but white is used more often: it does not fade.

Video "Finishing windows outside siding":

Siding finishing technology depends on the features of the opening. The siding setting exists with shaped details that can be used for different installation options.

IN general Finishing windows by siding outside looks like this: on the inner perimeter of the slope - the starting profile (chamfer, the J-profile, depending on the range of the fittings of the manufacturer). On the outside - plastic outer corner. Panels on the one hand are inserted into the profile, on the other rare under the corner.

Installation of panels is taken from below. The top panel is riveted to the bottom special lock. Fastening the panels to the walls of the opening - galvanized self-drawers, strictly in the center of the mounting hole.

If there are no slopes, platbands are installed around the window, they are given to them facade panels. For the design of arched openings, a flexible J-profile will be required.

ATTENTION: When mounting siding, the fasteners do not reach about a millimeter, and on all the docking lines there are gaps for thermal expansion. In addition to arched windows: the fastening is hard, the gaps do not leave.

Metal panels

It is possible to finish the plastic window outside and metal panels. Production material - galvanized steel with polymer outer sheath. Metal good is a profile element that closes the entire slope and the edge of the wall around the opening. Fasten such goods to the frame with roofing self-drawing.

Metal Siding Mounting Technology is similar to Siding PVC.

Stone and tile

Aesthetically looks opening, lined with artificial or natural stone, clinker, porcelain stoneware. For the processing of slopes, you need to select frost-resistant stamps of the finishing material. Facing technology is the same as the tile for internal work. For sticking and grouting, either cement mortar or front glue varieties are used.

Wood

It is possible to finish plastic windows outside with a tree using a lining, ready-made goodness and carved platbands, planed boards, bamboo plank. Wooden finish The windows will be organically looked in combination with a facade of a log or bar. Boards can be excited by galvanized nails or wood screws.

For the sealing of the gaps in wooden openings, plaster does not use and extremely undesirable to apply the mounting foam. Preferred processing materials - panel and jute.

Styrofoam

The decoration of plastic windows outside the foam is the cheapest way of insulation of slopes. Procedure Next:

1. Prepare the opening: clean, close the plaster slot.

2. Protect the surface.

3. Put the glue on the wall of the opening and on the workpiece of the foam, thoroughly smeared throughout the surface with a toothed spatula.

4. Printed blanks, starting from the bottom corners. After installation, the joints are wedge.

5. Excess adhesives remove the wet sponge.

6. After drying, covers the entire surface with another layer of glue, put the reinforcing glass tub.

7. Outdoor I. internal angles Close with perforated corners. They are also planted for glue.

8. Dry the surface, ground. Around the perimeter of the glass so as not to blur it when painting, gluing a greasy tape.

9. Finishing of windows outside ends with the walls of the wall with acrylic colors or coating with decorative plaster.
