Modern PVC windows are distinguished by excellent consumer properties, which is increasingly used in the arrangement of structures of the residential and production sector. However, the full use of such modules becomes possible only when fulfilling all recommendations in the process of their installation and operation.
The manufacture of slopes on plastic windows is considered a very important construction stage, because it is in this case that the module receives a full, finished look, and the room receives such characteristics as sound, thermal insulation. And although there are currently many methods for the construction of slopes (from plaster, drywall, wood), nevertheless, the use of plastic is a more common option (how to make slopes for windows with your own hands can be found here).
Advantages and disadvantages of the manufacture of plastic slopes
The advantages of the specified method of finishing the window module are obvious and are the following factors:
– Democratic value;
– Simplicity of installation and maintenance (easily wash);
– No need for periodic repairs (putty, staining);
– High indicators of heat-shumoisolation;
– Magnificent appearance;
– The possibility of laying in technological voids (between the base opening and the wrong side of the PVC panel of specialized engineering communications (electric branching, lighting, etc. p.).
If we talk about the disadvantages of the slopes of plastic, then their low mechanical strength and a small degree of maintainability can be noted (if the entire panel is damaged).
Features of the choice of slopes from plastic
When choosing the design of future slopes, a number of individual characteristics should be taken into account. Why first of all you should decide on the type of materials used. After all, in addition to the color scheme (usually selected taking into account the design of the room), it is very important to consider the overall dimensions of the panels. So, in most cases, glossy PVC panels with a thickness of at least 8 mm are used for these purposes. If we talk about the method of consolidating materials, then for the construction of the slopes it is customary to use the mounting foam, which is very important to use the specified material with the low expansion coefficient in order to exclude the probability of deformation of the construction structure.
