How to make slopes

During repair and after reinstalling windows, the question often arises - how to make slopes on windows? And if more precisely, what is better?

Finishing the slopes (the inside of the window opening) is the final stage of installing windows or repairing. Aesthetic appearance, visual perception of slopes should please the eye and make the room complete. In addition, well-executed slopes improve the thermal insulation of the window opening. There are a lot of finishing methods. We will briefly describe them, and you can make a rational choice.

How to make steep slopes?

On the cleaned and primed walls in a number of receptions, a solution is applied (on a gypsum or cement basis). Each layer must dry at least 5 hours. If the window slopes are not vertical, they have significant defects - plaster beacons are used. To the corners of the opening were straight, even and clearly outlined - before the putty glued perforated corners. After that, the slopes shpatlyuyutsya, cleaned "nazhdachkoy" and painted.

How to make slopes from plasterboard?

The first option: drywall sheets are glued directly to the walls on the glue solution. The second - gypsum cardboard is mounted on a metal frame (components are available for free sale) self-tapping screws. The surface is treated with antifungal primer, then you can putty, paint or glue.

As a variant of such a slope, mention should be made of the possibility of sticking a thin plastic on the gypsum board. The drawbacks include the unreliability of the glue joint and the low stability of gypsum board to moisture and dampness. Use a moisture-resistant material for finishing slopes. The advantage of such slopes is that they are repairable. If the escarpment is scratched, a piece is broken off from the surface - at any time it can be stained and painted.

Another option - slopes from the panel - cellular plastic. Disadvantages: the color of the panels changes with time and the depth of embedding is up to 25 cm (if more - the panels are joined, and this worsens the appearance).

How to make a glue slope?

On the surface of the slope paste a thin plastic. The method is simple in performance, but has disadvantages: the plastic peel off with time because of the different work of the materials to be joined with temperature fluctuations. The appearance of condensation is possible, because the slope is not completely insulated due to the specifics of the execution.

How to make slopes from plastic (PVC)?

Recently, the most popular window sills from PVC. They are made of plastic (made from the same material as the window) and clypeus or sandwich panels. Plastic finishing is used, as a rule, at a slope depth of up to 190 mm. In other cases - a sandwich panel (its size is 1500х3000), which is a three-layer structure (two plastic sheets and a heater between them), and can be installed at any angle to the wall.

The installation of plastic slopes is quite simple and requires a little time. They are moisture resistant, durable, are not afraid of exposure to UV rays, resistant to chemical damage and mechanical influences, heat and noise insulation. Plastic slopes - functional and stylish addition to PVC windows.

In the process of finishing the plastic slopes, the old plaster is removed, the surface of the opening is leveled, the insulation is made, the structures of the plastic slopes are installed.

The window with such slopes has a complete, modern, attractive appearance. They will serve 15-20 years. An "insignificant" shortcoming is a relatively high cost. And yet - these slopes can not be repaired. In case the plastic panel is scratched or punched , it must be changed.

Similarly, doorways can be trimmed .
