To create a finished look for the window, it is necessary to make slopes.
A slope is a part of a window opening located along the perimeter of the window. Slopes can be external and internal, their main purpose is to protect the joints of the frame and the window opening. There are plastered slopes, and there are overhead ones. Overhead ones can be made of plastic plates or wood veneer. Slopes serve as the final touch in the noble and difficult business of finishing plastic windows.
An urgent need for beautiful slope decoration inevitably arises belarus mobile database replacing old windows with new plastic windows. Plastic windows are usually much thinner than their predecessors, so after replacement, you will find an untreated strip of 5 to 30 cm wide along the entire perimeter framing the window opening. To get rid of this, you need to decorate the slope.
When building a new house, the slopes will also have to be beautifully decorated, new is new. For example, by plastering the slopes. This method of finishing is suitable for houses made of brick, aerated concrete. However, it is not quite suitable for wooden houses. Currently, plaster slopes are increasingly becoming a thing of the past (plaster cracks, peels off, is a poor heat insulator (cold material), increases the likelihood of overcooling of the opening during low seasonal temperatures), and plastic slopes are becoming more and more widespread, which, compared to plaster, have a number of advantages. Firstly, plastic slopes are installed very quickly, simultaneously providing additional thermal insulation. Secondly, they do not require maintenance, do not fade or crack. Plastic slopes are made of the same polyvinyl chloride - an environmentally friendly material that does not change color under the influence of ultraviolet light.
Types of slopes on PVC windows
There are two types of PVC slopes.
First
— is a panelit, which is a hollow plastic panel equipped with internal stiffening ribs. Panelit is usually used in houses with a slope depth of up to 250 mm (therefore, if the opening depth is more than 25 cm, the panels must be joined, which leads to the formation of a seam at the joint.).
