Specifications for pvc windows. Guests on plastic windows

  • 23.06.2020

It is a mistake to think that knowledge of state standards governing the manufacture and installation of plastic windows should be of interest only to manufacturers and installers. window structures from a plastic profile.

The increased demand for glazing with PVC frames sometimes gives rise to unscrupulous offers. Construction companies, of course, will not be allowed to install plastic windows, during the manufacture of which the current GOST was not observed, because they know that non-compliance with the current rules will lead to the refusal of the selection committee to issue permission to put the facility into operation.

For a private person, knowledge of GOSTs that regulate the production and installation rules for PVC windows will help control the ordered window structures at the design, manufacture and installation stage. This is also important when replacing old window blocks in multi-storey housing, but especially when building your own house. Compliance with state standards significantly prolongs the life of window glazing, determines the warranty period for installation work, so if they are not observed, you have the right to warranty service.

It is possible to install the window correctly only on the condition that the technological standards for its manufacture have been observed. A reliable manufacturer has certificates of conformity of products to the requirements of state standards.

Current GOSTs for installing windows

The norms of the new GOST R 56926-2016 systematized and combined all the GOSTs, SNiP and technical standards in force on November 1, 2016, while considering the PVC window as a structural element of a multi-storey residential building. These standards do not apply to the construction of private housing.

The new state standard lists the current industry state standards that regulate the production and installation of plastic window blocks:

  • characteristics of plastic window structures - GOST 30674-99;
  • general requirements for windows and balcony blocks for buildings for various purposes - GOST 23166-99;
  • TU for the manufacture and installation of double-glazed windows for construction purposes - GOST 24866-99;
  • requirements for sound and heat insulation, ventilation of products - GOSTs 26602.2-99, 2602.1-99 and 26602.3-99;
  • requirements for the characteristics of the profile, components and accessories (window sills, slopes, flashings, platbands, etc.) - GOST 30673-99;
  • installation technology using vapor-permeable self-expanding tapes when making assembly joints - GOST 52749-2007;
  • junction joint insulation technology - GOST 30971-2012 replaces the outdated GOST 30971-2002.

Types of installation according to state standard

Types of installation are classified depending on the method of fastening the product in the opening. Proper installation involves only two types of fastening: using self-tapping screws directly through the plastic profile of the frame and using fittings if it is built into the model.

In the first case, you can even install the window correctly on your own, having little experience and reading the current instructions. The second method requires a more professional approach.

Technological map of installation

Technological installation charts of each company may differ, but the main sections must correspond to a typical technological instruction and include the parameters of window blocks (window sizes in width and height, profile parameters in mm), characteristics of double-glazed windows, organization and installation technology, including installation seam diagrams, quality control with permissible limits of deviations, operating conditions, safety requirements.

TTK usually provides for the following procedure for the installation of PVC windows in accordance with applicable regulations:

  • measurements;
  • preparatory work;
  • frame fastening by one of 2 types;
  • drain installation;
  • window assembly;
  • gap filling;
  • window sill installation.

Definition right size window opening is 50% of the quality of the installation and a guarantee of a long service life of the window structure due to the timely elimination of distortions. The size of the window is determined taking into account the mounting clearances established by state standards.

After fastening the frame in one of the ways to special bars, fixing it with wedges and leveling it with the help of special substrates, fasteners (anchors, self-tapping screws) are tightened.

Requirements for the installation of drainage include its foaming and subsequent verification of the structure for compliance with geometry and strength. After mounting the drain, the window block is assembled.

An important installation rule is to follow the gap filling technology in strict accordance with state standards, which provide for the following procedure:

  • gluing a vapor-tight waterproofing tape around the entire inner perimeter of the frame;
  • processing of external seams with a membrane strip PSUL - a self-expanding sealing tape;
  • filling gaps with foam for different climatic zones.

Insulation of the assembly joint of the junction must be carried out in accordance with the requirements of the State Standard 30971-2012, which include 3-4 layers with different functions: heat and sound insulation, moisture diffusion from the joint, vapor barrier.

If the insulation of the junction joints is done correctly, the room will be reliably protected from the penetration of moisture, sounds, drafts, dust, and the double-glazed window from the formation of condensate, which in turn will significantly extend the service life of the products.

Installing the window sill is the final step. In order to properly install this part, it is necessary to take into account the requirements of the state standard for permissible entry onto the walls, its slope and sealing of the seams.

Warranty period when installed according to state standard

If you are thinking about how to install a PVC window, please note that the installation warranty is issued only if all the requirements of state standards are met. If you are not sure that you can handle this professional job, it is better to entrust it to specialists.

The long service life of glazing largely depends not only on the manufacturer. Proper use also affects the life of the product. Usually, after installation, an instruction manual is carried out, and serious companies offer their own versions of instructions for various models.

Installation of plastic windows in accordance with GOST and proper operation is a guarantee of their long service life without serious damage for 50 years.

Windows are an important part of any building process. At the stage of building construction, they are given attention in terms of optimal design and load. In the process of repair, the owners of offices and residential premises independently regulate the location of windows, their height and dimensions, since GOST for windows 2002 does not give specific absolute values. However, there is whole line norms and standards that are documented and must be observed by companies that produce and install wooden, plastic or aluminum profile windows (GOST takes into account the features and technical specifications in each case). Here are various classifications, designation of windows according to GOST, technical parameters, marking and specification of windows and doors according to GOST, etc.

GOST 12506 81 for windows

If you prefer wooden windows, GOST will be useful to you. The standard defines window types. For example, according to the method of opening, they distinguish:

  • wooden windows opening inwards (B);
  • deaf non-opening windows (G);
  • outward opening windows (H).

According to GOST, wooden windows and doors have specific specifications and technical features depending on the type of room, its purpose and other parameters. From the document you will learn how wooden windows are classified and installed - GOST 12506 81 will give answers to all pressing questions. This is especially important in the face of growing demand for such window structures. They are environmentally friendly, aesthetically attractive, natural and reliable.

GOST 23166 99 for plastic windows

The provisions of this standard apply to balcony door and window blocks, which are made from metal alloys, wood, and plastics. They are designed for structures of various functional purposes. Thus, GOST covers metal windows, steel windows (gives a classification and design features), etc. When choosing and installing a quality window, GOST 23166 99 can be very useful.

GOST for windows 21519 2003

This standard describes the basic requirements, features and standards for door and window structures, the production of which involves the use of an aluminum profile. The products are designed for operation in buildings of various purposes. The document provides various classifications. So, based on the design features of the profile according to GOST, aluminum windows are made:

  • from a hollow profile (A);
  • from a combined profile, the thermal insulation insert of which is filled with insulation (AKU);
  • from a combined profile with an insert with thermal insulation properties (AK).

GOST 30971 2002 for plastic windows

It is generally accepted that the success of durable and trouble-free operation of windows half depends on the correct installation. In fact, competent editing can be assigned an even more significant role, because errors can nullify even the most best performance window construction. As practice confirms, GOST for plastic windows, which regulates their installation, is extremely important. It allows you to formalize the process and limit the freedom of manufacturers in choosing tools, methods and installation technologies. This minimizes the options for negligence, unjustified savings, the use of unskilled labor, etc. As a result, high-quality windows will be correctly installed, which means they will last a very long time, guaranteeing only comfort and ease of operation. According to GOST, each installation company installs metal-plastic windows, observing the provisions internal instruction. It, in turn, must be approved by the local government office.

GOST 30674 99 for plastic windows

The provisions of this standard apply to window structures, as well as balcony door blocks, which are made of PVC profiles. Currently, there is a consistently high demand for PVC windows - GOST 30674 99 reflects all the main technical points. The standard provides classifications of products according to various criteria, as well as the main provisions of working documentation - design and technological. In accordance with GOST, plastic windows must be manufactured within tolerances given in the text of the document. For example, the limiting deviation of the nominal dimensions should not go beyond +2.00 -1.00 mm.

At present, it is easy to find the required GOST, and windows and doors manufactured and installed with it in mind will retain their original performance characteristics for a long time. A lot of useful information can be gleaned from the standards: the specification of windows (GOST contains the necessary explanations), requirements for buildings of any purpose, etc.

Separate standardizing documents define acceptable materials, overall dimensions, types of structures and other characteristics of window and balcony blocks.
