Features installation of windows in the stone, and wood frame houses

Every reader FORUMHOUSE knows that no matter what material is made windows, they help keep the heat in the house and emphasize the individuality of any home. Therefore, the mounting process window It should be treated with special attention. After all, even the most expensive and energy-efficient design oknnaya loses all its dignity if it is incorrectly installed.

Wood, stone and frame houses and cottages have a number of design features. Because they affect the Windows installation technology, they should be known to any developer.

From this article you will learn:

• How to start preparing for the installation of window designs;
• What are the stages of the work process is preceded by the installation;
• Which features should know to install windows in wood, frame and stone houses;
• How to install a wooden box with his hands - how it differs from the installation of the installation of plastic;
• How is the protection of field joints;
• How to control the installation process.

Preliminary preparation

Despite its apparent simplicity, the installation of windows - a process that requires a serious and responsible approach. After installation quality directly affects the level of comfort in the house. That's why this process begins:

Anton Karyavkin (Head of the company REHAU Technology Center):

First you need to prepare thoroughly: read the instructions and the existing regulations on installation, to acquire appropriate tools.

Hiring a professional installer has about a hundred different "instruments of labor". Do not necessarily have all of them, but the windows installation can not be done without the basic set. It includes: hammer, screwdriver, gun foam, a chisel, a hammer and a screwdriver.

When choosing tools should also be considered that the installation of windows includes a wide range of additional work.

These include:

• Plastering slopes in brick buildings;
• Apparatus seam and heat insulation;
• Installation of the window sill and additional components.

The main thing should be remembered - installation technology depends on the building of the wall material.

Anatoly Gavrysh (Head of Design Office of "Factory of windows"):

House type significantly affects the window installation process. In homes where there is significant shrinkage (more often - in the wood), the casing used floating box with expansion space. In other types of homes window installation has the same circuit.

Install wood windows with their hands

Developers believe that between PVC and wood windows installation, there is a big difference, but experts do not agree with this.

Anatoly Gavrysh:

Practically no difference between installing plastic and wooden windows. A small difference is only in the different elements of the fastener.

Installation of wooden windows with their hands should be carried out more accurately. And in each case requires individual approach.

Alexander Korpachev (Head mounting department of the company "Business-M"):

Even the windows in a home can be its own characteristics. Therefore, the need to adhere to the recommendations of the state standards, namely:

• Installation window seams - a vapor-permeable self-expanding tapes;
• Technical conditions GOST R 52749-2007;
• Mounting assemblies and joining seams of window frames to wall openings;
• General specifications GOST 30971-2002;
• Window units - of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) profiles. GOST 30674-99.

In general setup consists of the following steps:

• Preparation of the opening;
• Prepare the window;
• Installing windows;
• Finishing work;
• Finishing.

Anatoly Gavrysh:

I would like to dispel the illusion of ease of installation as the plastic andwooden windows. To carry out his own, necessarily requires certain skills and special equipment as Correct installation is critical is how well and how long will the new window design.

Speaking in detail, the installation of both plastic and wooden windows made as follows:

1. Window openings are cleaned from dust and dirt.

2. Windows are installed in the opening and wedged a small plastic or wooden corners strictly on the level.

Corners are necessary for the formation of the lumen (margin) between the frame and the opening. The perimeter - between the window and an aperture is recommended laying process for foaming a gap of 20 mm width. At the bottom - under the windowsill, it is recommended to lay in a stock of 35 mm.

3. The design is fixed.

Fixation by means of special mounting dowels or serrated plates. If the attachment is carried out through a window on the screws, before these are outlined in the opening, and drilled holes for anchors. The number of attachment points depends on the window size and the average ranges from 40 to 70 cm. From the corners of the frame it is necessary to lay the indentation 12 -15 cm.

4. Produced foaming seams between the window structure and opening.

For economy of foam if the gap exceeds 40 mm, it is possible to fill insulation - polystyrene, etc.

5. Foam closed vapor and waterproof tape.

Vapor barrier is glued around the perimeter of the window from the inside (on the part of the room), and waterproofing film - to the exterior, from the side of the street. After foaming with tapes removed guardband and zapenennuyu sealed seam.

6. In its place outside ustanavilivayutsya additional elements - flashings and trims (if the installation is in wooden houses).

7. Adjustment is carried out accessories.

Features installation of windows in wood, frame and stone house

Anton Karyavkin:

Installing windows in the buildings of the most difficult of round timber. This is due to changes in structural elements of wooden houses from manufacturer to manufacturer. If developers are using different types of wood, to predict the behavior of the material is almost impossible - every time you have to learn all from scratch. Deformation logs in such structures can be quite large: from 8 to 15 cm. Therefore, no window in such circumstances may not be long lasting performance.

Here's what we can do for zaschitity design against possible deformations caused by shrinkage of the walls, using the old carpenter's method:

Anton Karyavkin:

Most responsible developers to begin cutting an aperture in the square log walls is only a year or two after the construction of the house. During this time, you can keep track of all the deformations taking into account the features of the material and climatic characteristics of the region.

After the opening is cut, it is roughing insert boxes, also known as "okosyachka" or "obsada", which can then lay the window structure.

Alexander Korpachev:

 Each wooden houses must be used or obsady okosyachki - wooden boxes, leveling the load on the frame.

Between the upper part of the window opening and the frame usually leave the process margin of 30 to 70 mm. After the installation stock box filled with insulation and closed trims on both sides.

Anton Karyavkin:

The box is made of wooden bars 50-80 mm thick.

Despite the fact that the box effectively takes the strain logs, field joints in this type of buildings still remain mobile. It is important to choose the assembly foam - it should not break down under shrinkage of the walls. This foam can be found on the market, but it's worth it is relatively expensive. Therefore, experts often replace it with other materials, mainly of plant origin (hemp). Of course, the tape and obmazochnye materials needed to protect construction joints, should also have a high-class strain stability.

Glued beam shrinks considerably smaller than whole logs. As a result, glued beam is deformed less than the normal log.

How to lay the window in the frame house

In the frame house can be set and wooden windows, but the most commonly used plastic. Control installation of any windows at all stages should be checked with the help of level or plumb, and the deviation of the horizontal and vertical should not exceed 1.5 mm per meter.

Anton Karyavkin:

The process of installing windows in a frame house is considerably simpler than in wood. With the window opening strains still have to face, but they are not so significant.

As the fastener is better to use anchor plate. Place on a construction screws are not recommended: they fix the box and tree deformation, in turn, can cause damage to the windows.

It is important to remember that when installing plastic windows in the frame home vapor barrier the premises must be wrapped in the window opening. It is necessary to connect the loop to loop a vapor barrier vapor barrier window of the room.

Brick different types of concrete, aerated concrete blocks - a standard construction materials. technique window installation in stone houses worked for years. Fastening is done with dowels and screws construction also allowed to use the anchor plates.

Anton Karyavkin:

In some cases, the installation of the technology can influence design decisions that need to take into account the linear dimensions of structures and wind load in the region.

Protection of field joints and stages control installation work

Regardless of the material of the walls, it is necessary to protect foam by ultraviolet radiation and atmospheric moisture. Otherwise it will become loose and eventually lose their properties. special insulating tapes and sealants are applied to its protection. Recent good because they allow to close any gaps and irregularities, as opposed to the mounting tape, which requires a perfectly flat surface free of dust.

Anatoly Gavrysh:

Field joints are protected with foam, designed especially for this purpose.

If we talk about the rules and stages, the protection is carried out strictly according to GOST "Stitches mounting and joining the nodes."

For each type of aperture is designed and coordinated abutment assembly consisting of three parts:

• vapor barrier;
• Insulation (foam);
• Waterproofing.

There are three types of mounting tapes:

• PSUL tape to protect from the street;

PSUL - it is pre-compressed self-expanding and self-adhesive sealing tape impregnated with a special compound. The tape is applied to protect the foam from the effects of adverse weather conditions.

• Waterproofing tape that is installed under the ebb and indoors;
• Steam insulation tape.

Anatoly Gavrysh:

In most cases it is used vapor barrier and waterproofing tape protecting the assembly joints and seams against moisture and dirt.

Alexander Korpachev:

Vapor and waterproofing tape protect the foam from the effects of moisture.

But sometimes you can do without their use (depending on the structural features of the opening, as well as a list of used finishing materials). If you use the same decorative material corresponding to its characteristics vapor barrier tape or waterproof tape, the application of the latter is not required.

If the developer has to independently control the correctness of the installation process, it is necessary to:

•  At each stage of the work to verify the geometry of the window in the opening;
•  Make sure to follow foaming gap between an aperture and the window, as well as monitor the implementation of insulation, vapor - and waterproofing works;
•  Check the installation of additional elements - window sills, ebbs.

In the case where it is impossible for any reason to be present at work, quality of installation is shown in the first two years of operation of the window.

Summarizing, we can say that a lot of factors to consider when installing the window. And one of the most important is the design features of your home.
