The fashion for plastic windows is not decreasing. On the contrary, such designs are gradually gaining more and more popularity. However, such an installation is usually accompanied by the need to manufacture window slopes, without which the windows will be blown out, and the room will not delight you with its appearance. As usual, the owners are faced with the question of choosing materials for slopes. It must be said that the choice ahead is quite limited, since a natural selection of the materials most suitable for these purposes has already occurred. In the article we will list what you will have to choose from, and also talk about the pros and cons of these materials.

Plastering slopes indoors

This is the most common method of finishing internal slopes in past years. This is due to the fact that drywall had not been invented before, and no one had even heard of plastic. Now some owners decide to use this type of finishing because of its low cost. But is this method really good?

Indeed, having bought a bag ready solution, for example, white plaster or cement mortar, you can independently, very quickly make more or less acceptable slopes. Then the surfaces are sanded and coated with white water-based emulsion. What's the catch then? Why does the fashion for such slopes tend to zero?

The secret is very simple. Any plaster surfaces, being on the border of cold and warm air, are subject to rapid destruction. They are simultaneously exposed to the heat of the house and the cold of the street. The result within a year is the appearance of small cracks on the surface of the plaster. Then they gradually increase, and the appearance of the slopes deteriorates irrevocably. The owners of the premises have to make annual cosmetic repairs to such slopes. Therefore, it is not recommended to use any types of plaster solutions for making slopes.

Finishing window slopes with plasterboard

This modern material quite suitable for making door or window slopes. Moreover, like plaster, it is absolutely environmentally friendly. Making slopes from gypsum plasterboard is not difficult if you study the relevant recommendations. But, if you want it to be really beautiful, invite a specialist. The surface of the drywall is perfectly flat, so the slopes will be very smooth, unlike plaster. Drywall does not require any cosmetic repairs for 25-30 years. The paint may need to be renewed as it gets dirty.

Drywall is installed with glue or dowels, plastered, and later, after the surfaces have dried, painted in several layers facade paint. The advantages of gypsum board are obvious. This is the low cost of the sheets and glue themselves, simplicity and high speed of installation. Suffice it to say that in 1 day you can easily make rough plasterboard slopes in 4-5 rooms, and then plaster them. On the second day, the slopes are sanded and painted. That's how quickly it all ends. Among the disadvantages we can note a large number of dust generated during cutting and fitting plasterboard sheets. The work is also wet, just like plaster, so be prepared for a fair amount of dirt in the room.

Plastic slopes

Contrary to popular belief about the dangers of plastic, we dare to assure you that modern plastic panels, intended for internal use, are completely harmless to humans. You use a lot of things made of acrylic, silicone, and leatherette, right? Plastic does not emit absolutely any toxins or fumes around itself, therefore it is also environmentally friendly. And don’t let the fact that it allows air to pass through should bother you. Plastered and painted drywall does not let it through either.

A huge advantage of plastic slopes is their practicality. The plastic does not get dirty, does not lose its color, and caring for it is extremely easy. The work on installing the slopes is completed in record time. Slopes throughout the entire apartment are usually made in 1 day. This is the most clean way manufacturing slopes from all of the above.

The only “dirty” moment is the filling of wooden blocks inside on the walls from the side of the window or doorway. As a minus, it is worth paying attention to the relatively high cost of such slopes. Consider the cost of the plastic itself, profiles for plastic, wooden beam and hardware.

In the process of replacing old window frames with new modern ones, the walls adjacent to them are deformed and destroyed. In some cases, the sash may not open well and you will have to deliberately destroy the plaster.

In addition to aesthetic decorative functions, properly made slopes perfectly insulate heat, moisture and sounds. They become an important part, highlight the window, additionally fill the room with light, and can visually deepen the space.

Designing slopes, depending on their varieties, can be both labor-intensive and simple. The material used is heterogeneous. And before you begin to directly finish the slopes with your own hands, it won’t hurt to glance over available photo or personally visit a construction market to have an idea of ​​its diversity, characteristics, and usefulness.

Classification of works

The simplicity and complexity of the final renovation of a room depends on many factors. Important ones:

• Internal structure, quality of laid walls;
• How carefully did the installers remove the old one? window profile, removed the window sill and unnecessary elements during the installation of a new one;
• Which finishing material selected.

Before the actual finishing, additional work is carried out to remove excess polyurethane foam, leveling, priming, and insulation. Sometimes you have to completely demolish old structures so that there is enough space to install new ones so that the window opening can open and close normally.

In progress cosmetic repairs if necessary, do the following:

• Finishing with wood, lining, plywood, veneer or MDF;
• Plastering of openings;
• Covering with sandwich panels;
• Plasterboard finishing;
• Sheathing with plastic clapboard.

Wood finishing

Requires filigree precision in the design process. You will have to involve specialists so as not to spoil the expensive material. In addition, this design requires careful maintenance. A more acceptable option, which you can do yourself, is cladding with veneer boards or MDF.

This type of slopes is performed after the installation of wooden classic windows. To highlight the interior design. You can do it this way metal-plastic window laminated to look like wood.

Plastering

Traditionally, walls are finished by plastering them. Perhaps this is the most labor-intensive way to design slopes, requiring certain skills in working with various construction mixtures. The dirtiest and longest. Can be performed with or without insulation. The plaster is applied sequentially layer by layer as the previous one dries.

You can hardly call him simple. In terms of savings, it all depends on the cost of dry mixtures and all the tools that need to be purchased to perform this kind of painting and plastering work.

We pre-prepare the surface. It must be clean and primed. We widen the corner seams for better adhesion of the mixture to the base. The initial task is to level and plaster the surface. Only then do we move on to the actual finishing of the slopes.

The window is sealed with polyurethane foam. Outside, on the street side, it is also carefully trimmed and plastered. Open foam darkens under the influence of direct sunlight, collapses, and crumbles. It is important to carefully finish the external joints to maintain tightness, heat and moisture insulation.

We fill large cracks and cavities with fabric soaked in gypsum mixture. When we insulate along the contour, we leave a gap of up to 30 mm to the side parts. In one go we apply a layer of up to 10 mm. We align not from top to bottom, but vice versa. This way the solution will crumble less. Continue after complete drying.

The upper part of the slope is fixed using a wooden strip secured with nails or the plaster itself. The corners are formed using perforated painting profiles specially designed for this purpose.

In the process of finishing in this way, more time is spent waiting for the applied layer to dry than on preparatory work. In addition, you will have to constantly clean up and wash spilled plaster in a timely manner, as it has a detrimental effect on the floor covering.

DIY plastic slopes

There will be less dirt and dust when using PVC lining or sandwich panels. To do this, we will need liquid nails and guides along which the plastic will be attached. When a window opening is sheathed with PVC lining, a pre-lathing is made, in the cavity of which insulation is placed.

When using sandwich panels, the guides are attached directly to the prepared surface using liquid nails and special guide corners. Their structure makes it possible to avoid insulation. They already have it.

Such finishing will cost no more than plastering. Self-locking corners attached to slats are used for assembly. Sandwich panel sheets and lining strips are cut to the required length, inserted into the profile guides, and the joints are formed with corners.

DIY plasterboard slopes

Essentially, the same plaster is used, only dry. Without side effects in the form of pollution. All work goes much faster and more fun. Many people prefer this type of slope.

You can use plasterboard sheathing with or without insulation. Excellent alignment, ease of installation, durability – highlight your preference this species window decoration.

Some difficulties can be caused by using primer and putty to protect the cuts and surface. This processing is mandatory. This is the only way the assembled structure will last a long time and the fragile internal structure will not be damaged.

We give preference to greenish plasterboard (GKLV), which has increased moisture resistance. Or - a regular one, cover it with an additional primer in several layers.

We install slopes with or without batten sheathing - we use an “L”-shaped metal frame.

Drywall can also be placed on a prepared surface using mounting foam or glue. The metal “L” profile is fixed around the perimeter window frame. Sheets of drywall are attached to it. This method is used when the installers did a very good job and the window opening is badly damaged.

In other cases, the sheets can be mounted with glue or foam to the primed surface itself. Drywall can either fit close to the frame or slightly extend beyond its contours. All joints are filled with acrylic sealant.

Final work - priming, puttying, painting, decorating in the style of interior design of the room.

detailed instructions

The whole process is divided into main and preparatory and marking stages:

Trim off excess foam with a sharp construction knife. We plaster the joints on the street side and install flashings if necessary.

Delete from the installed profile protective film. Or we cut it along the contour to 20 mm at the supposed junction of the window and the sheet of drywall. We mark the boundaries of the structure for the correct placement of elements vertically and horizontally.

Prepare and level the surface. We remove excess plaster, paint, and all dirt. Treat with a primer. And also the underside of the drywall (the side that will be adjacent to the wall). We wait for it to dry.

We create support for the entire structure. If necessary, we place slats, bars, pieces of drywall to level the surface so that the sheet overlaps the edges of the foamed frame during installation. Or we plaster the walls. The edges of the sheet should not hang in the air, but should fit tightly!

Preparing the plaster glue solution. Apply the mixture along the edges with a spatula to the primed side and to base surface. You can make several strokes in the center. There is no need to coat the entire sheet. It will hold strong anyway.

We assemble and install sequentially glued parts. First the upper slope, then the side slopes. After final assembly and dry, glue all the cracks with the same mixture.

To decorate the corners, we use perforated painting profiles, which we secure with finishing putty over the joined sheets of plasterboard. We prime, putty, cover the surface decorative paint to match the interior color.

The importance of window finishing after installation plastic windows is not always realized by customers. Because of this, subsequently, many people complain that they installed advertised double-glazed windows, but there is draft from the window. In fact, the problem is that without finishing, the entire work cannot be considered fully completed.

The quality of installation of a plastic window depends on the quality of finishing of the slopes.

Finishing a plastic window with your own hands will not only create a beautiful appearance of the window, but also significantly extend its service life.

After plastic windows are installed in the room, it begins next stage work - creating slopes. Correctly finishing a plastic window with your own hands allows you to create an attractive, finished look to the opening.

Correctly finishing a plastic window with your own hands allows you to create an attractive, finished look to the opening.

Slopes are considered to be all wall surfaces that are located near windows. There are external slopes (located with outside windows) and internal (located on the inside of the window). Most often everyone is interested in internal slopes. If it is better to entrust the installation to professionals, then it is more advisable to do the finishing yourself.

Correctly made slopes play not only an aesthetic role, they also have thermal insulation qualities. Slopes allow you to protect assembly seams, prevent windows from fogging, prevent the destruction of polyurethane foam. Used to create slopes different kinds materials.

Interior finishing with plaster

Slopes using plaster have more disadvantages than advantages. Over time, the plaster begins to burst and crack, losing its original color. The installation itself is also not entirely convenient; it requires a lot of time and effort for high-quality execution. The plaster is applied in several layers, each layer must be dried and cured. After which the surface is primed and finally painted. This takes one to two weeks. Plaster slopes do not create the necessary thermal insulation, and when overcooled, the windows will fog up.

Regular drywall

The only drawback in using it is the plasterboard’s fear of moisture. Therefore, it is worth installing gypsum boards only in rooms with low level humidity.

Slopes made from plasterboard are quite durable. They have a smooth and attractive appearance. Drywall is insulated, and this gives decent thermal insulation properties slopes The only drawback in using it is the plasterboard’s fear of moisture. Therefore, gypsum boards should only be installed in rooms with low humidity levels.

Installation process plasterboard slopes labor-intensive: puttying, priming and painting are required. They can be made faster than plaster slopes. Although the installation time also depends on the qualifications of the technician.

Plasterboard finishing is an intermediate option in terms of price and quality. To create a neat joint around the perimeter of the window, use a special plastic or metal corner. Such slopes can be covered with a layer of paint, liquid plastic, decorative plaster or transparent wood-look furniture film. Using the latter option, you get a completely smooth surface that is easy to clean and well suited for use in the kitchen.

Plasterboard finishing of windows is often chosen when there is a need to hide slopes with very damaged openings. In this case, treatment with a primer or antibacterial impregnation is used.

Avoid leaving any air space between the plasterboard sheathing and the wall that could allow water to enter. Otherwise on finishing coating Spots may appear and deformation of the slope may occur.

Installing plastic

Plastic slopes can be quickly installed, they do not fade, are fairly easy to clean and have an attractive appearance that harmonizes with the windows themselves (it is advisable to choose the same shade).

This is the most common and universal method. Plastic slopes can be quickly installed, they do not fade, are fairly easy to clean and have an attractive appearance that harmonizes with the windows themselves (it is advisable to choose the same shade). When installing such slopes, it is used mineral wool, which provides the necessary thermal insulation, sound insulation and water resistance. You can make them quite easily with your own hands. Slopes made of plastic have a fairly decorative appearance, a flat and smooth surface, and a long service life (equal to the service life). They can be made fairly quickly (within about two hours). Install plastic slopes without additional work for puttying and painting. They have a good degree of vapor impermeability, which protects walls and foam insulation from freezing.

Tools and materials

Before starting work, stock up on the necessary set of tools.

1. Plastic strips 8 mm thick.
2. U-shaped strip of plastic (the so-called starting strip).
3. F-shaped strip of plastic.
4. Wooden slats about 12 mm thick.
5. Insulation material (usually mineral wool is used).
6. Scissors and metal knife.
7. Construction stapler with staples.
8. Building level.
9. White silicone.
10. Self-tapping screws (4.5 mm and 95 mm).
11. Drill or hammer drill.

If the window has recently been installed, it is better not to remove the protective film until the work is completed.

Installation steps

Along the entire perimeter around the windows they are packed wooden slats. To fix them, use 95 mm screws. The slats are placed flush to the walls.

1. Wooden slats are placed around the entire perimeter of the window. To fix them, use 95 mm screws. The slats are placed flush to the walls. To prepare the wall surface, a hammer drill and a drill are used as needed. To obtain perfectly smooth slopes, perform vertical mount to the wall of the slats, level.
2. It is necessary to fill a U-shaped strip along the outer edge of the window. For fastening, use 4.5 mm self-tapping screws. A slope strip is inserted into the gutter of this strip. The joints of the U-shaped strips should make it possible to install the plastic at specified angles. Therefore, when crossing U-shaped strips, it is necessary to partially cut off the corners with a knife, thereby ensuring an even and smooth joint on the inside.
3. The F-shaped strip is being installed. Its groove should be located opposite the previously installed groove of the U-shaped strip. In the rest of the part, which is located above the opening, the F-groove must be cut off. This must be done because top part The F-strips should be overlapped. This strip must be secured to a wooden batten using construction stapler. After joining, all excess parts of the F-strips should be cut off with metal scissors. This method is convenient because it does not require further gluing of wallpaper around the window. The F-strip covers all defects.
4. The plastic is installed in the grooves while the insulation is laid at the same time. Here it is important to measure the size of the plastic as accurately as possible. If the joints cannot be made perfectly smooth, you can rub them with white silicone.

External finishing is much more important than internal finishing, since polyurethane foam, left without protection from ultraviolet sunlight that destroys it, very quickly deteriorates and becomes unusable.

It is advisable that the installation of all slopes be carried out the next day after installing the window, when the foam is already sufficiently dry. As thermal insulation material You can use polyurethane foam. To obtain optimal performance, installation of slopes and window sills is best done simultaneously.

Many, trying to save money, order installation without exterior and interior window decoration. Some believe that internal beauty is more important than external beauty and do not finish the window from the street side, leaving the installation seams without protection from the outside. In fact, the exterior decoration is much more important than the interior, since polyurethane foam, left without protection from the ultraviolet rays of the sun that destroys it, very quickly deteriorates and becomes unusable. If you want to save money, then it is better to wait interior decoration. External treatment must be carried out as soon as possible after installation.

Exterior plaster

Due to its low cost, this method is the most common. Most often used for this cement mortar. A solution that is prepared from glue for ceramic tiles. However, there is no guarantee that all finishes will not crack over time.

Special tape PSUL

Some professionals often use a special tape, by installing which the seam space expands and fills the free space, thereby protecting the polyurethane foam from moisture and ultraviolet rays. However, producing exterior finishing windows with your own hands, it is not always possible to buy such material.

Nashchelniki

The flashing is a plastic corner that is made specifically for finishing windows from the outside and protects the mounting foam from all external influences.

The strip is a plastic corner that is made specifically for exterior finishing and protects the mounting foam from all external influences.

Finishing begins with installing a corner on the top seam of the window. To do this, a piece of flashing is cut out, which has the same length as the distance between the quarters of the window opening. It is secured to the window profile with ordinary self-tapping screws.

There is no need to install screws very often. If necessary, slots must be made in the corner (if, for example, holders interfere with installation mosquito nets). After this, you need to mount the ebb to the wall using dowel nails. It is advisable to apply polyurethane foam in several places separately. This will secure the ebb more tightly and soften the sound when raindrops hit it.

The hardest thing about this method finishing - cutting out side strips. They must fit with maximum precision to the top strip and the window sill. Sometimes it is better to cut with a margin, and then make an adjustment according to the right size. After installation, the joints with the upper cover must be treated with liquid plastic or silicone.

Properly finished plastic windows will serve you and delight you for many years!

After installing the plastic windows, the slopes are installed. Proper implementation of this activity affects the subsequent thermal insulation of the room. But how to finish the slopes for the windows inside? Today there are many materials with which you can professionally finish slopes. Let's look at slopes made of sandwich panels, plasterboard, and PVC.

Many people have a wrong idea about drywall. They believe that he represents profile design to which the sheet is attached. At the same time, not many people understand how it can be connected to the window system. Therefore, the question related to how to make slopes on plasterboard windows with your own hands is very relevant for non-professional builders.

Organizational process

As a rule, slopes are installed immediately after changing window systems, so the surface should already be prepared.

If the place where the slopes will be located has not been prepared, then it needs to be processed independently, having first removed the remaining plaster from the surface. After which the walls must be treated with a primer in order to improve adhesion.

If the layer of plaster is dense and difficult to remove, then it does not need to be removed, but only if this does not interfere with installation. And to improve its strength, impregnate the plaster with a layer of primer.

Selecting materials

1. The operating time is already finished product largely depends on the material that will be chosen.
2. Since there is a constant temperature difference and high humidity near the window, then it is better to make slopes from moisture-resistant plasterboard.
3. Primer is important component, which plays an important role in. It will also prevent the formation of fungus or mold.
4. The drywall will be attached to the planting gypsum. Therefore, it must withstand temperature changes, which will create warm slopes for plastic windows, and have moisture-resistant characteristics.

Taking measurements

When installing slopes after installing plastic windows, measurements are very important. Let's look at how to take measurements in more detail.

1. The first thing you need to do is measure the distance from the edge of the wall to the window.
2. Then you need to measure the distance from the wall to the middle of the window, which sets the slope angle. Thanks to this we get legs.
3. Next, you should square the length of each side of the triangle, and then add everything up. The square root is taken from the resulting number. As a result, it will become the value of the width that the future slope should have. The length of the panel is measured with a tape measure.

Remember: it is simply necessary to make such calculations. If this is not done, then the result will be visually crooked openings and uneven windows. And to make accurate and quick calculations, use a calculator, thanks to which you can easily extract Square root without using special formulas.

Installation

Before installing the slopes, markings should be made, which should be equal to the distance from the wall to the window. Then it is applied to the frames on which the slope will be located.

After this, according to the instructions on the packaging, planting plaster is diluted. The mixture is applied with a spatula to the wall in order to obtain 3.4 points of contact between the drywall and the wall.

Next, you can begin installing window slopes made of plasterboard, which includes gluing the sheet using planting plaster. At the same time, the edge near the end of the wall must be held tightly, and the edge located near the window is equal to the markings.

Remember: when adjusting slopes in the markings, it is better to use a level, thanks to which you can easily monitor the curvature of the surface.

Final works

When the putty dries, paint for window slopes will come in handy, necessary for additional protection.

PVC panels

For those who are still puzzling over how to seal the slopes after installing plastic windows, we can offer another worthy variation - PVC panels.

Installation of PVC slopes is divided into several stages. Let's consider each stage separately.

Surface preparation

After a day has passed after installing the balcony block, you can proceed to installing the slopes. First, remove excess foam that appears between the profiles at the joints and the wall with a stationery knife. Afterwards, the surface must be cleaned of any remaining small debris.

Slopes for PVC windows

Installation of the guide profile

Initially, using a tape measure, you should calculate the parameters of the profiles along the visible edge. Moreover, it is necessary to calculate their outer width, and also find out the distance from the top of the window to the bottom. It should be noted to facilitate this process It is possible if you completely remove the frames or at least bend the film back a little.

to install pvc slopes For windows, a U-shaped profile is used, suitable in width; it is cut into pieces. For these purposes, use special scissors designed for cutting metal sheets. Then the profile elements are attached at a distance of 20 cm with screws to the outer part of the frame. Identical manipulations should be done with the side and top surfaces.

Installation of sheathing

To assemble the sheathing, wooden slats (section 2*4 cm) are used, which are attached to the side and upper corners slope To fix the slats, dowels are used, the distance between which should be approximately 30 cm. If you want the perfect lattice, use a plane; thanks to this tool, you can flawlessly adjust the thickness of the slats. Finally, check their levelness using a building level.

Installation of the upper slope

How to repair slopes after installing plastic windows yourself? First, you should determine the length of the external slope, and then cut off the element from the PVC panel required size. It is better to work with the material using a jigsaw, but the cutting must be done extremely carefully. Next, the panel is attached to the top profile and sheathing with self-tapping screws.

Installation of side panels

Side PVC profile mounted in the same way as the top bar. The space that appears between the wall and the panel is filled polyurethane foam. For this purpose, the outside of the product is wetted, and then foam is applied to it. Such work continues until all free space will not be filled with material. Following is attached PVC panel, do not forget to monitor their evenness using a level, and also secure them with self-tapping screws. The relationship between slopes and angles is controlled by a tool called a malka.

Installation of F-profiles

At this stage installation is carried out plastic corners, in which the product is cut to the required size, and then it is inserted onto the panel along the edges. In those areas where the corners come into contact with the screws, inside A small cut should be made at the corner.

Final stage

At the end, the joints are finished, in which a slope sealant or a profile mixture is used suitable color. The composition is applied to the joint cut and then gently pressed. Remains are removed. The sealant will protect the product from dust, moisture, and debris.

Sandwich panels

When installing slopes from sandwich panels, builders use 3 main materials:

• foam;
• liquid Nails;
• wooden beams.

Foam installation is the most easy option. However, in this case it is necessary to purchase sandwich panels that have a rigid frame. This process is done like this:

• taking measurements;
• cutting the frame strip;
• frame assembly;
• fixing the frame between upper slope and window sill;
• cutting panels;
• inserting panels into the frame.

Foam

First, 2 side slopes are assembled, and at the end - the upper one. Before blowing the system with foam, you need to measure the slopes with a level, and also install spacers so that the swollen foam cannot move the frame.

Slopes made of sandwich panels

This method can only be implemented if two-layer sandwich panels are used. To improve adhesion, before blowing out the cracks, the wall of the room and the inner plane of the panels should be sprayed with water from a sprayer.

After a day, the foam will harden, then it will need to be trimmed. Next, overlays are put on, which perform a decorative function. Sometimes installers carry out this process immediately, but this is not compatible with technical rules.

They will be appropriate only if the walls are in good condition. Thanks to liquid nails You can avoid using the frame by installing it directly on the wall.

This method is suitable for spacious windows, where a lot of plastic will negatively affect them. appearance. The process is divided into the following stages:

• measurements;
• panel trimming;
• preliminary fitting;
• leveling the surface (plastering, removing old materials);
• gluing the panel.

Initially, the outer panel is attached, and the side panels are adjusted to it. But after that there are 2 unresolved problems:

• seams in adjacent areas;
• open end element.

I seal the seams with a simple putty mixture that matches the color or with silicone, provided that the plastic has White color. Today, they are increasingly used for such work acrylic paint, its texture is similar to PVC coated, thanks to which you can create a good appearance.

Slopes made of sandwich panels for windows

The end can be covered with a layer of plaster. And if the windows are located over the entire surface of the wall, then you won’t need to think about what and how to paint the slopes on the windows inside. In this case, the end is painted with white paint, but it should be noted that the sandwich panels must have an identical color. You can also just hang wallpaper.

Wooden blocks

To reduce foam costs during the installation of difficult, damaged slopes, wooden slats are used, which are the basis for attaching the frame. The technology of this process is as follows:

• taking measurements;
• beam trimming;
• assembling a quadrangle to which sandwich panel strips are attached using a stapler;
• trimming and subsequent insertion of panels into the base;
• foam blowing;
• after 24 hours, all excess is removed;
• installation of overlays.

Window slopes made from sandwich panels are particularly resistant to mechanical defects. Give preference to 3-layer panels, because 2-layer panels are not rigid enough. However, this condition is not necessary.

Drywall slopes - fastening
