It may sound weird, but the most part of success in replacing new windows in your house is their correct installation. We are going to tell you about some significant aspects you should pay attention to if you made up your mind to replace your old PVC windows with new ones.
You might ask yourself what an energy efficient window is and what the advantages are. We will try to answer all your questions.
Replacing windows
First of all, you should calculate the cost of windows with several airbags, ultraglass and other additions.
It is important rely on professionals
At the initial request, a quantity surveyor is obliged to inspect your window opening and advise you which profile options can be used (usually a few, from an economy option to a more expensive one), and also tell how to prepare a window for installation.
Preparing for installation
Do not forget that the installation of windows is a rather dirty matter (dirty mainly because you have to drill walls and break old frames). It is better to maximize the space to protect your things. If there are some things that cannot be taken out, you should cover them with a protective film.
Before dismantling the old windows, the installer always measures the finished windows according to the size of the window openings and checks against the previous calculations.
After dismantling the window opening should be clean. All chips and potholes in the wall must be sealed, otherwise air can get into these joints. Before installing the vinyl windows, the opening is wetted with water for better adhesion or processed with a special primer.
Correct installation of the frame in the opening
The frames of new windows are set either on bolts or anchor plates. It depends on the technical characteristics of the opening. The installation should be monitored in three planes. These ones should not go beyond 1.5 mm per 1 meter of length.
Filling the assembly seam
It may seem simple at first glance. However, the work should be done very carefully. The window frame is fixed with wedges. You should drill holes for fixing very carefully, so as not to damage the profile.
Adjusting the fittings
Proper adjustment of the fittings ensures you that in a half of a year months your windows will not start to sag at the opening and I will still be snug. Adjustment is subject to a swivel-tilt mechanism and loops, the worker with the hexagon will reliably adjust all the parts and show how to transfer the windows into winter and summer mode
Cleaning after installation
Everything is ready, the windows are installed, but there is garbage and old frames left. The installers will take out heavy garbage and old windows from the apartment.
Before signing the acceptance certificate, make sure that the windows and window sills (if you installed them) are clean, the protective film that they originally covered is removed, the glasses must be clean.
We are sure that our windows replacing tips will help you.
