First, figure out the style and size of the window.
When many people are decorating, they install ordinary windows regardless of space. In fact, this not only makes home decoration lack beautiful scenery but also affects better lighting or shading in the room. Therefore, before selecting materials for decoration and installing windows, first of all, think about the style and size of the window.
1. Design and make samples: ordinary windows, floor-to-ceiling windows, floating windows, shutters, skylights, in addition to ordinary windows (that is, we usually have flat glass windows at a certain height from the ground), according to the different functional needs of our windows, windows can be designed into different styles, such as floor-to-ceiling windows, floating windows, shutters, skylights, etc., different styles of windows can more carefully take care of the needs of each space. It can also bring more vitality to the home through our design and decoration.
2. Design shape: round, square, arch, octagonal generally speaking, round and arched windows give people a more peaceful feeling, which is helpful for sleep and is suitable for spaces such as bedrooms and porches; square windows give people an exhilarating and affirmative feeling, suitable for restaurants, studies and work areas; octagonal windows are beautiful, generally expressed in Chinese or retro style, or used as partition windows. According to the different spaces of the home, choose different window shapes to mix and match, and you can get better results.
3. Design dimensions: in general residential buildings with different space sizes, the height of the window is 1.5 meters, the height of the windowsill is about 0.9 meters, and the height of the window top from the floor is about 2.4 meters. If the height of the windowsill is less than 0.8 meters, we should pay attention to protective measures. The width of the window usually starts from 0.6 meters, wide enough to form a "belt window". When using a wide width with a window, the sound insulation of the room next door is adopted. If a sliding window is used, the sliding range of the window sash should be considered.
In addition, the outer dimension of the door and window frame is different from the size of the door and window opening, which refers to the size of the finished product made of the door and window after civil painting. Hole size up and down minus 2cm around is the outer size of the frame, this 2cm is used to install the door and window frame. The opening gap is less than 1.5cm and does not exceed 3cm.
Second, push the window in a variety of ways to choose suitable windows in different spaces
According to different ways of pushing windows, windows can be divided into different types, and a full understanding of the way of pushing windows is obviously helpful for us to better choose windows suitable for different spaces.
Flat window: flat window refers to the hinge (hinge) installed in the side of the door and window or want to open the door and window, which is widely used in our life. The whole window can be opened at 100%, with excellent air tightness, no air leakage, and high thermal insulation performance, but the window sash should occupy a certain space after opening, and the lighting is limited, so it is not suitable for small household size, small space area and narrow position.
Sliding window mainly refers to the window sash along the horizontal direction to the vertical direction of the door and window, according to sliding window also has many subcategories, and can pull horizontally, push up, extrapolate, etc., the advantage is that the window does not occupy indoor space, ventilation and lighting is good, but only 50% of the windows can be opened at most. Any space suitable for home.
Fixed window: fixed window refers to the use of sealant to install the glass on the window frame, which is only used for daylighting and does not open the window with ventilation, so it is watertight and airtight. Strictly speaking, a fixed window is not a real window because it cannot be opened. Daylighting is good, can be designed into skylights, and shutters, suitable for the roof to do skylights, in the aisle to do aisle windows, and so on.
A suspended window is a window that opens along the horizontal axis. The window that is pushed open from below is called the upper suspension window, the lower suspension window is pulled down from the top, and the middle suspension window shaft can be pushed up and down in the middle. The lower hanging window is open outside, the rain-proof is good, the upper hanging window is open inside, it is well ventilated but not rain-proof, the middle suspension switch is convenient, labor-saving, and rain-proof, and it is used most.
Third, how to install the windows?
The main contents are as follows:
1. When using aluminum alloy windows, the dimensions of the balcony sealing surface should be accurately measured before the balcony is sealed, and the window frames and glass should be manufactured and transported to the construction site according to the dimensions outside the construction site. Before installation, check that the window size is consistent with the opening size of the sealed balcony.
2. Fixed bracket
Method 1: before fixing the window with a fixed plate, the base of the balcony hole should be cleaned first, the base material of the window close to the wall should be removed, and holes should be punched at the fixed point, preset expansion bolts or plastic expansion pins in order to fix the form. When installing the window, you should first sit the window firmly at the entrance of the hole, fix its position, and fix it with screws and plastic expansion pins.
Method 2: in general, the bolt should be 10 cm long when fixed with an expansion bolt. If some holes are missed, they will be flattened by applying cement and so on. The bolts need to be 12 centimeters long so that they can be fixed directly into the cement layer of the original wall in order to secure the window frame. You can knock with your hands, and if you find that the wall around the window frame is hollow, you need to hit it deeper.
3. After checking whether the window frame is connected to the window opening, you should check that the window is installed properly. If the windows are not installed properly, the windows may become more and more crooked after being used for a period of time. If it is a regular rectangular window, you can directly measure the diagonal of the window (lower left corner and upper right corner, upper left corner and lower right corner), the length of the two lines should be the same; if it is an arc window, you need to use a horizontal ruler, the bubbles on the ruler indicate that the window is positive; if it is an inclined window, you need to use a pendulum.
4. After the styrofoam window is adjusted, you need to blow the styrofoam to fill the gap between the window frame and the wall. After the styrofoam is cured (it usually takes 2-3 hours, it takes longer in winter), cut off the excess styrofoam.
5. After installing the window sash and other accessories to fix the window frame, then install the window sash and other accessories, pay attention to the installation should be careful.
6. After using the sealant and styrofoam, apply the sealant evenly around the window frame to prevent Rain Water from seeping into the room from the installation gap of the window and wall.
