Correct installation of PVC windows according to GOST

If the installation is incorrect, even the highest-quality and expensive window will lose all its advantages. It is recommended to order the installation of PVC windows in accordance with GOST in the company in which the structures were bought. This will give an opportunity to agree on a time frame, and the installer will better understand all the features and nuances of fixing a certain window structure. GOST 30971-2002 was developed to protect the rights of buyers and to provide the required level of quality of services for installing structures with translucent elements that are provided by window firms and companies.

In this article we will look at what you need to pay attention to by installing PVC windows in accordance with GOST.

1. Installation seam in three layers

Installation of metal-plastic structures is a responsible process, requiring a serious approach to the issue of careful protection from all external influences. The air temperature in any room is significantly different from the temperature on the street. And in order to prevent the formation of drafts and condensation, the mounting layer is applied in three layers.

The main or middle layer is a one-component foam that provides noise insulation and thermal insulation. Carrying out the installation of PVC windows according to GOST, it is recommended to use foam with a lower index of secondary expansion. This will eliminate the subsequent deformation of the window structure.

Outer layer. A special sealing tape is pre- compressed and glued to the outside of the frame just before installation. This ribbon, expanding, fills all kinds of roughness and irregularities, and also additionally protects against moisture and removes steam from the assembly seam. To protect the lower layer from moisture, GOST for the installation of PVC windows involves sticking on the profile and the opening of a special vapor-permeable (diffusion) tape.

The inner layer protects the mounting foam from the moisture formed inside the room. This layer consists of several self-adhesive tapes that have vapor-barrier properties.

2. Quality insulating materials

It is recommended, adhering to the GOST criteria, the installation of PVC windows to be made of high-quality materials.

3. Technology of installing the window in the opening

It should be remembered that the installation of PVC windows in accordance with GOST does not allow the use of only one mounting foam.

Selecting fasteners is necessary, based on the mass and area of the window structure, taking into account the strength of the bearing walls and the level of permissible loads. Anchor plates are inserted into the special grooves . Anchors in the window opening are fastened with dowels.

The technology of installing plastic windows in accordance with GOST is a complex process that requires an employee of high professional qualification and deep knowledge. Only qualified professionals can guarantee a completed installation.

Installation of PVC windows according to GOST is a painstaking process, but the advantages of its compliance are worth it. This provides enhanced and multilevel protection of the seam from moisture and additional tightness, reliable performance of installation work and comfortable operation of the product.
