Most often, to install plastic windows, we turn to professionals. But you can install plastic windows yourself. The installation takes place in two stages, first the dismantling of the old window is carried out, after the installation of a new. Before starting the installation of plastic windows, you need to think over your own security. If your apartment is very high, you should not independently carry out installation. Or a strong wind blows outside, then the installation of a new window should be postponed, until the best conditions. The dismantling of the old window should start, having previously taken out the glass. After remove all removable elements. Next, we dismantle the old frame. Dismantling should be carried out very carefully so as not to spoil the window opening. After the old window is removed, you need to remove construction garbage. Clean the openings from excess paint and putty. Dismantling the old window, in some cases, can take quite a lot of time, up to an hour and a half. Installation of a plastic window is easier than installing a glass window. It does not require special additional skills of the contractor. But you should know some of the guarantee features that you must give you to the windows you bought. The warranty will only apply to profile. In the case when the windows are installed by specialists, you will receive a guarantee for window fittings and the performance of your window. In order not to damage the window canvas, you must first remove the glazing pins and glass. The frame is further attached to the wall with dowels. The window frame is screwed through. You can install a window without taking out double -glazed windows. But if your window is more than two meters or you live on the high floor, from the windy side, then you can not do without screwing the frame. After the frame is fixed, double -glazed windows are inserted back into the grooves, and fixed with stacks. The voids between the wall and the frame need to be filled with mounting foam.
