1. Taking measurements for the manufacture of plastic windows and other window structures (PVC). Measurements are carried out by a qualified specialist from our company, who can provide professional advice on questions that interest you about plastic windows, installation and profile selection. The customer, in turn, must provide access to the premises for which the products will be manufactured. plastic PVC windows, as well as remove interior items and household items, located near a window opening or on a balcony.
2.Placing an order for the manufacture and installation of window structures. At this stage it is important to decide on the configuration and complete set of Rehau plastic windows or Krauss aluminum profiles.
3. Delivery and installation of plastic windows. At the delivery stage plastic PVC windows The customer must accept his order, i.e. check the quantity and quality of the goods brought window designs and also provide a place where plastic windows it will be possible to deliver. Installation of plastic windows refers to noisy construction work, and therefore in residential apartment buildings installation of plastic windows and PVC doors carried out from 10 to 20 hours. In addition, the process installation of plastic windows causes a lot of noise and dirt, so it is better for children and elderly people not to be at home at this time. Furniture should be removed from the room, the floor and household appliances should be carefully covered with polyethylene. For installation of one plastic window it takes from one to three hours, slopes and ebbs are usually recommended to be installed the next day.
Upon completion of installation work, the Customer must accept the work and sign the relevant acceptance certificate.
In order to plastic windows have pleased you for a long time, remember a few rules for their operation:
1. Ventilate the room regularly. PVC windows and plastic window structures provide excellent airtightness and therefore do not allow air into the room. For this reason, double-glazed windows may fog up, as evidenced by the appearance of condensation. To prevent this from happening, regularly ventilate the room or install an additional ventilation and air conditioning system. In addition, so that the inside the plastic window did not fog up, it is necessary to shut off the warm air from the heating radiators.
2. Take care of your Rehau window profile. Cleaning products containing acids can be harmful to PVC. That's why PVC window frame It is best to clean with soapy water or special products without solvents, acetone, or abrasives. Apply cleaning agent to surface plastic window should be done with a soft cloth. To avoid damage window profile, avoid shocks and other mechanical influences.
3. Take care of the rubber seals of Rehau plastic windows. Despite the wear resistance of modern seals, which are used for production of plastic PVC windows, over time they fail. To extend their service life, it is necessary to clean the rubber seals several times a year. Thanks to such procedures, the seals will remain elastic for a long time and will not let moisture into the room.
4. Check the condition of the window handle. If plastic window handle Rehau“loose”, it is necessary to tighten the fastening screws, which are located under the decorative strip at the bottom of the handle. You can do this yourself or contact the company's specialists.
5. Clean the drainage channels of plastic windows.

Our company's specialists carry out installation in accordance with state standards and regulations. In their work, our installers use only modern tools and materials, and extensive experience allows us to perform all operations quickly and accurately.
Modern plastic windows provide the room with a high level of protection from blowing and extraneous sounds. In order for windows to fully perform their functions, their installation must be carried out by professionals in stages, in compliance with certain rules.
Let's consider the main stages of installation:
- Preparing the premises
- Control measurement of windows,
- Dismantling old frames,
- Preparing frames and window openings for installation,
- Installation of new frames,
- Installation of window sill, ebb and slopes,
- Checking the window operation
- Taking out the trash.
Preparatory stage
At the preparatory stage, it is necessary to arrange the space for the work so that nothing interferes with the installation. The customer is recommended to provide free access to the window by removing furniture from it and removing blinds and curtains. Otherwise, foreign objects will not only interfere with the craftsmen, but may also be damaged during the installation process. In addition, since dismantling old profiles and installing new ones is associated with the appearance of a large amount of dust, it is advisable to cover things and the floor in the room with a protective film.
Control measurement of windows and dismantling of old frames
At the second stage, specialists must check the dimensions of the new profiles with the opening in which they will be installed. The presence of all items in the order is also checked.
The old window is being dismantled. The blind sashes of the old window are unglazed and the sashes are removed. Then the craftsmen knock down the slopes and remove the old frames from the opening. Our employees keep the workplace clean and remove bulky construction waste.
How do you prepare the window frame and opening for installation?
Before installing a new frame in the opening, three types of sealing tapes must be glued onto it, which will subsequently provide heat, sound, and moisture insulation of the room.
- PSUL tape- self-adhesive polyurethane foam tape with special impregnation. This seal can expand, filling all the unevenness of the opening. The tape is necessary to protect the assembly seam from cold and moisture. It is glued to the top and sides of the frame.
- Waterproofing tape protects the seam on the outside from weather conditions.
- Used for internal vapor barrier vapor barrier tape from aluminum foil.
After completing the preparation of the frame or at the same time, the craftsmen prepare the window opening for installation, clearing it of dirt. Next, holes are drilled in the frame to accommodate fasteners. When determining fastening locations, installers are guided by GOST standards.
Installation of new frames and sashes
Using spacers, the frame is installed in the opening with mandatory measurement of deviations. After leveling the structure, it is fixed in the opening using anchor bolts and special plates. During the installation process, installers constantly check how level the profile is. This is very important, since the service life of the window will depend on the accuracy of the alignment.
Upon completion of fixing the frame, the installation seam is filled with foam sealant. The seam is processed around the entire perimeter to completely close the space between the frame and the wall. After this, the sashes are hung and the blind parts are glazed.
Installation of slopes and window sills
A plastic window sill is mounted in the lower quarter of the window. As a rule, to give it greater strength, installers use technological spacers. The space under the window sill is also foamed. To give the entire structure an aesthetic appearance, craftsmen treat the joints with a special sealant.
Plastic slopes give the window a finished, attractive look. As a rule, they are installed last.
High-quality, reliable windows are not only structures made from high-quality profiles, double-glazed windows and fittings, but also installed by experienced specialists who know all the intricacies of installation.
Why is the correct installation of windows and doors so important?
A lot depends on the correct installation of window structures. You can order expensive products, but having saved on installation, it is quite possible to soon come to the conclusion that the windows are not so good, and the money was wasted. The structure turned out to be not airtight, allowing drafts to pass through, the sash does not close well, condensation appears, and the declared increased sound insulation turned out to be a myth - customers begin to notice such shortcomings after poor-quality installation.
Rules for installing windows according to GOST
|
There are basic rules for installing windows according to GOST, which installers must adhere to. Mainly this is about aligning the frame during installation. It is done according to the level, and the maximum permissible deviation in all directions of the window structure cannot exceed 3 millimeters. The window is secured using special pads - support (bottom) and spacer (sides). The frame is fixed using anchor dowels and special plates. The fastenings are spaced 700 mm apart from each other (for a white profile) and 600 mm (for a laminated profile). Installation according to GOST is not always possible. Then glazing is performed according to technical conditions. Most companies use this installation option. The main difference from installation according to GOST is the absence of PSUL tapes. The gaps are filled with polyurethane foam and protected with stripping. |

Stages of high-quality window installation
Stage 1. Preparing the opening
If the customer is replacing old windows with new ones, the first step will be dismantling the old window structures. Then the window opening is cleared and prepared for immediate installation.
Stage 2. Preparing windows for installation
To do this, the window unit can either be disassembled into its components - remove the sashes and remove the double-glazed windows for a solid structure, or, if it does not exceed 2 meters, a solid structure can be mounted. PSUL is attached to the window ( pre-compressed sealing tape), steam and hydro insulating tape, which after installation will protect the polyurethane foam from moisture.
Stage 3. Window installation
The frame is installed on special mounting wedges, leveled and attached to anchor dowels or plates. Afterwards the required three-layer assembly seam is performed. The removed sashes and double-glazed windows are installed. Ebb and window sills are installed (if necessary).

Features of installing windows on the balcony
For glazing balconies, a powerful structure is installed that can withstand a heavy window frame. In the case of balcony glazing, special care will be required, since the glazed area is not small. Individual window elements on the balcony will be subject to particularly heavy loads. It is necessary to take into account how much weight the balcony slab can withstand so that the entire structure does not collapse.
Is it possible to install windows in winter?
Winter installation will be no worse than summer installation if you follow the rules:
- Windows are installed at a temperature not lower than -10 o C;
- special foam is used for winter installation.
Winter installation of windows has its advantages, which consist not only in the fact that the cost of services is lower than “in season”, but also in the ability to identify flaws immediately after installation.

Preparing the premises
While waiting for the craftsmen to deliver new windows, you will need to take a few simple steps.
We recommend (to make it easier to restore order after finishing the work): - Remove the curtains; - Clear the window sills; - Cover the radiators; - Cover the furniture with film; - Take out the equipment or cover it thoroughly; - Provide access to the opening and space to work with the new window (1 - 1.5 meters); - Prepare an electrical outlet; - Warn your neighbors that the old frames will be taken out onto the landing; - Take care of garbage disposal. When dismantling old windows, the wallpaper around the perimeter of the window may suffer, especially when dismantling the old window sill. If you want to preserve the wallpaper, if possible, make small cuts (10-15 cm) the day before with a thin blade and, after soaking them, bend them back. Once the work is completed, you can glue them on yourself.
Dismantling, installation and external sealing of windows
Make sure that construction and installation work can be carried out on the agreed day and there are no restrictions from the HOA/housing cooperative/DEZ.
Installation takes place within the time limits specified in the contract. Window installation is not carried out on Sundays and holidays. The day before installation, from 18:00 to 21:00, the foreman of the installation team will contact you and inform you of the exact start time of work (either the first or second half of the day is possible).
If for some reason you cannot meet the installation team, please notify us before 13:00 on the day of delivery, or the call-center operator at the time of notification of delivery.
The shutters are installed in a fixed frame, which are immediately adjusted for correct and smooth operation. Then the handles and all additional fittings are installed.
The entire opening around the perimeter is sealed with heat-insulating material - professional polyurethane foam.
When dismantling old windows (especially the window sill), the wallpaper around the perimeter of the window may be damaged. If you want to preserve the wallpaper as much as possible, make small cuts (10–15 cm) on it with a thin blade on the sides and under the window sill and, after soaking it, bend it back. Once the work is completed, you can glue them on yourself.
Installation and sealing of window sills, installation of slopes
Each slope panel is cut out and adjusted individually.
All slopes must be insulated. Insulation helps prevent freezing of slopes and, as a consequence, the formation of fogging and fungus.
When installing a plastic window sill, you have the opportunity to slightly adjust the width during installation, but this must be specified in the contract, plus your presence will be required
