By installing plastic windows, many do not even suspect that they have special, simple and concise on appearance, platbands. And completely in vain - placing an order to install such window systems, it is quite possible to immediately agree on the installation of these elements.

However, this is not the only possible solution to the issue. Tubes on plastic windows can be quite also made of wood and decorated with artistic threads. If you use this option to design the front part of the house, the window openings will be framed as well as Russian masters of wooden architecture during the centuries.

No need to think that the platbands fulfill a solely decorative role. In fact, they are very functional, and are intended to close the gaps between the window frame and the wall, which in our time are most often closed by assembly foam. The platbands protect this filling from negative factors of external influence, such as ultraviolet rays, destructively acting on polyurethane foam foam, direct ingress of moisture, etc.

Platbands and their functions

Briefly, the installation process of the plastic window is as follows:

• If old windows are installed in the openings, they are dismantled, and the released opening is cleaned from insulation materials and contaminants.
• Then, a plastic frame is inserted into the opening, which is aligned in the construction level and is fixed on the walls in several places with special metal elements - anchors or plates (brought). Installed and fixed with special glazed strokes.
• Next, all the gaps left, between the frame and the wall, are sealed - filled with mounting foam, close with special sealing and hydrophobic ribbons, etc.
• After the foam is frozen, its excess is cut. Then, the top of the spit and the installation of slopes is made.
• And finally, platbands are installed, which are closed with foam-filled gaps outside or inside.

Independent installation of plastic window - Non-easy task

When installing such a system, it is necessary to provide many nuances. In details, the process is set out in a special publication of our portal.

Standard complete set of metal-plastic windows with double-glazed windows, as a rule, does not include platbands, especially since these elements of the finish are not suitable in all cases. For example, if the windows are very deepened into the wall, then you need to choose very narrow platbands, or install them around the window opening. In this case, in the second version, they will serve exclusively as a decorative element, therefore are installed only at will.

However, it should be noted that the platbands have their own advantages, which attract quite a few owners of private houses:

• Accuracy and aesthetics of the appearance of windows.
• In its kind - a certain exclusivity of plastic standard windows, as the majority of owners do not use these elements of the facade finish.
• And the functionality mentioned is already - protection of the sealed gap from the influence of the external environment.

It should be noted that there are plats designed to finish windows and from the inside. Such products are usually intended only for decorative design, so it is purchased mainly in cases where the interior of the room needs to be withstanding in a certain style. For example, such a design is suitable for the "rustic Russian" style or "Country" - both of these directions have recently been actively included.

Varieties of platbands in form and by manufacturing material

Plastic windows for plastic windows can be of various types and profiles, manufactured using a variety of materials:

• Flat plates made of plastic, aluminum, polyurethane and wood.

The simplest - platbands in the form of flat plastic planks

Most often, flat on the form of plastic windows are used for the framing of plastic windows, as they are simply mounted, create a neat look, are easy to care and have the most affordable price of all existing configurations.

• Carved platbands that are made of plastic or natural wood.

This version of the details are made mainly by individual order from the tree, so they are very expensive. The plastic variants of carved windows of windows is not easy to find in construction stores, since their serial production is organized far from everywhere and not largely large.

• Types of shaped type can have a smooth semicircular form or almost flat, but with a relief pattern in the form of strips of different depths. This type of virtually from all listed materials is performed.

• Profile platbands are made of plastic, wood, polyurethane or aluminum. They have a certain form in cross section, sometimes made in a sufficiently intricate configuration.

Feature of profile platbands - a complex shape in cross section

Choosing a platband for manufacturing material

It is important to choose the properly correctly, which would be suitable in its appearance not only to the window frame, but also to the material of the walls of the facade or its external finish.

• Plastic options have the most affordable price and a very aesthetic appearance, however, do not differ too much service life.

Usually, all manufacturers have in their commodity assortment and platforms of the same color as the profile for Ram. Therefore, making an order, you can immediately ask which of the types of decorative platbands can be offered.

As a rule, plastic platbands are manufactured in different colors, but the most popular version is white. After him, "on the popularity staircase" is a brown-chocolate, and further follow other colors that are used much less frequently. Therefore, not all of the manufacturers of the windows you can find the profile of the desired rare shade.

Rama color is usually selected to the shades of walls or roofs of the house, and sometimes the design of the facade is carried out on contrast principles.

Plastic framework options are made in sets that are collected in a single platband in place, or in the finished, one-piece, according to the likeness of the frame that remains only to fix around the perimeter of the window opening.

There are special plastic profiles for platbands that are mounted on the wall and snapped with a special lock connection on slopes installed around the window. This option allows not only to create a neat frame, but also securely connect the slopes with a decorative framing of the opening, without any gaps.

• Cashbar performed from polyurethane also deserve attention, as they are often used enough to design windows.

Profiles from this material may have a different embossed form, they are easy by weight and simply can be easily adjusted in size and mounted on the window opening or even directly on the window.

Polyurethane variants of the framing persistently carry the impact of moisture and sun rays, therefore they will serve a very long time.

This material can be coated, so if it is decided to change the facade design, problems with the color change of these elements will not occur. In painted form, polyurethane becomes even more resistant to external influences, acquires aesthetic appearance and is very easily cleaned from dust raids.

Cashbar and polystyrene polystyrene are manufactured, which usually have additional internal reinforcement. The quality is somewhat inferior to polyurethane foam, but also can also be used for external, and for the interior decoration of window openings with plastic windows.

• Very durable and beautiful are breeding of natural wood, provided good processing with protective compositions. Such details, with high-quality execution, have a sufficiently high cost.

Wooden platbands are, of course, the "classic" of the facade finishes

Wooden framing for plastic windows are perfect for a house having wooden walls or a decomposed material that reliably imitates wood. As mentioned above, wooden curve plates are most often manufactured manually and ordered individually for each style of selected facade design.

Wooden options can be painted in various colors that are selected depending on other shades present in the overall ensemble, so as to reach harmony with the facade trim and the color background of the roof of the house.

The disadvantage of wooden platbands can be called that staining need to be carried out much more often than polyurethane - on wood paint is more susceptible to fading.

Installing platbands on the windows

Installation of platbands is made in different ways. It depends on the material of manufacturing, and from the installation site, as the window can be deepened into the wall or to be with it in one external plane.

• If the window is deepened into the wall, then around it is first mounted, which will close unsightly sections of the wall around the frame, capable of spoiling a common aesthetic appearance.

To do this, a special plastic starting profile is fixed to the window frame, which will be inserted by the slope panel.

The figure is clearly visible the principle of setting down to the starting profile, and then and the plastic platband.

To dock platbands on the corners, their edges are cut at an angle of 45 degrees. Slices will be neat and accurate if you meet some recommendations:

- dipping should be carried out using a special template - stublog;

Smooth coal joints in the corners are provided by the application for their cutting special tool - Stusla

- if the stub is not used, and the platband is sprinkled in a horizontal position, then it should be written from the outside;

• If the platbands have special grooves to fasten them with slopes, they are simply installed in spikes in them and snap.

Video: An example of mounting plastic platbands - Naschelniki on the PVC window

• In the case of a separate attack on the surface of the walls, the prepared parts are approaching the window opening, and their location is noted on the wall plane. After that, the "Liquid nails" or "moment" are applied to the opposite side of the platbands, and the framing is glued on the markup. The joints on the corners are also glued together with glue.

Applying "liquid nails" on the back of the platband

Wooden platbands are fixed on the walls with dowels or screws. To do this, in wooden parts, through holes are first drilled, which are then slightly expanded from the front side so that the cap of the fastener element is hidden in the thickness of the wood. On the applied markup on the wall, the hole is made, where the dowel is installed, and then the screw is screwed into it through the platband. The remaining hole in the platband, which "hid" a self-pressing hat is closed with epoxy resin mixed with small sawdust. Such a putty will make the installation sites of fasteners practically imperceptible.

Manufacturing of minewar

Some masters prefer to make carved platbands themselves. They are cut on a predetermined pattern, through which the drawing is transferred to the perfectly processed high-quality board.

You can make and platbands in the form of smooth panels that will be done quite simply, but in this case, the board must be smooth and smooth. It is treated, and then water-repellent compositions. Sometimes wood is darkened by a verse, and on top covered with a yacht moisture resistant varnish.

Wood selection for platbands

Properly chosen wood will greatly alleviate and speed up the work on the platbands, so it is necessary to approach the choice of material.

It will be optimal to choose wood that is easy to handle. So, to cut out complex lace elements of the platband, Lipa, Alder and Aspen are well suited. Do not choose coniferous species of trees:

- For example, spruce has a large number of bitch, which can significantly spoil the drawing;

- Pine - an overly fragile material on which chips can appear during operation;

- Cedar and larch, in principle, are well suited for long-term operation of cascar in street conditions, however, have a very high structural density, so it is difficult to process.

Wood should be moderately dried, so that when drying, the finished parts, which will be spent a lot of effort, were not deformed and did not crack.

The thickness of the platband boards is selected depending on the height of the relief pattern, and may vary from 10 to 40 mm. Therefore, before buying material, you need to decide on the choice of ornament.

If small protruding elements are present in the relief, they are recommended to make and processed separately, and then incurd to the place provided for them.

If the platbands are not intended to be painted, then you need to choose boards with a beautiful textured pattern, without a large number of bitch having a smooth "healthy" structure of one shade, which will be perfectly harmonized with the design of the entire facade.

Dimensions of concubine

Calculations are made as follows:

• The height and width of the window opening is measured - these will be the parameters of the internal perimeter of the platband.
• Then, the width of the platband is measured from the opening line to determine how much it will close the wall. This is especially important when the window frame is in the same plane with the wall.
• The height of the platband must be equal to the height of the window opening plus the two widths of the platband panel. Thus, the calculation is carried out if the horizontal upper and lower planks created the frame will have the same width as the vertical. If the horizontal panels are scheduled to be wider, then the vertical should have a height equal to the height of the window opening plus the width of the upper and bottom of the platband.
• The size of the sides of the platband will also depend on which angular connection will be selected, so before you begin to cut the board, you need to carefully consider all the nuances.

Manufacturing and processing of a wooden platband

The selected drawing is applied to the prepared boards. As already mentioned, it is best to spend this process using a stench-cut in advance.

If there is no experience in writing drawings, it is better to choose not the most complex pattern.

When the drawing is completely translated into the board, you can proceed to it. Electric jigsik is used for work. In each closed plot of drawing, the drill is drilled through holes in which the vertical fuel carriage will be inserted, and it will be careful from this place, in slower, this fragment of the board will be cut off.

When cutting out the curly pattern, special accuracy and care is required - any awkward movement can spoil all the work.

In addition to the jigsaw, you can use a milling machine for work. It will help smooth sharp corners on a through drawing, and some elements of the relief is more convenient to cut this tool.

In order for the pattern on the platband to look aesthetically and professionally, it must be processed by emery paper, first with an average grain (140 ÷ 180), and then with small (220 ÷ 400). Processing is carried out manually, and that it is less time consuming, you need to first work for a mill.

If individual parts of the relief were manufactured separately, they are fixed with the help of joinery of the glue after processing all surfaces. When glue dries, the entire platband, including all elements of the relief, are impregnated with antiseptic compositions and also leave to dry.

The final stage of work is the coating of all surfaces with waterproof protective composition for wood. The best option for external parts will be the use of a yacht varnish. Naturally, if you wish or subject to a facade color solution, platbands can be covered with paint desired color.

Figure coats will help to "revive" the type of standard plastic windows

If you have a desire to try your hand in the manufacture of this facade decorative detail, it is best to start to begin on the cuts of the board, "fill the hand." Then, when it becomes possible, it will be possible to go directly to. Detailed instructions can be obtained in a special publication of the portal.

In conclusion, you can summarize that whatever type of platbands is chosen, they will make the appearance of the facade of the house more aesthetic and neat. In addition, these details will create additional protection for hermetically sealed gaps between the window frame and the wall.

The decorative framing of windows and ends of the roof has always been considered the element of the finish, which gives the whole structure individuality and awareness. But due to the fact that the complexity and cost of such a scenery is simply huge, many owners prefer to install platbands on the windows in a wooden house with their own hands.

When planning to save on this operation, it is necessary to soberly assess your capabilities, since the method of manufacturing and installing platbands has a large number of technological nuances, the ignoring of which can be reduced to zero all the costs of funds and time.

This review discusses several methods of manufacturing and installing decorative cases and emphased on non-standard technical points.

Depending on the design of the caster, various types of equipment may be needed for its independent work. In some cases, there is a fairly standard set of "home carpenter", but if the wood carving is present in the decor elements - you will have to purchase special tools and devices.

Consider the dependence between the design of the deasure and the complexity of the technical equipment used in its manufacture.

From industrial blanks

If platbands are supposed to be made from purchased blanks with an already formed pattern or profile, then the need to buy additional equipment will most likely not arise.

When writing a review, we proceed from the fact that the master of the owner, resolved to arrange a wooden house, already contains the next minimum of tools:

• universal screwdrivers;
• pliers and ticks;
• rashpyli and files;
• manual saw;
• plane;
• a hammer;
• clamp;
• ax;
• measuring devices (roulette, square, construction level).

There will be no mistake and the assumption that the electric drill and the electromechanical jigscription also includes a mandatory set of tools of any self-respecting homemade master.

The only thing that should be purchased before the self-assembly of platbands from industrial blanks is a device for cutting boards at a given angle ("Stuslo) and an end milling mill for punching deaf holes under bent.

We emphasize that the tools listed in this subsection are a basic set, complemented by more specialized models in case of complication of the platband.

With wood thread elements

In the same cases, when it is planned to make platbands with a wood thread elements, the pre-training stage will be more complex.

Note that it is not necessary to buy all the tools listed in this review, since a narrow specialization takes place in this area of \u200b\u200bconstruction work.

So, to create slit decorations, the base snap is enough to supplement the following tools:

• sander;
• an electrified junction machine in which you can use a round pink.

The use of the machine for feeding patterns is not necessarily, but it is extremely preferably in cases where the patterns are large in the area and contain small elements.

Another situation, when without a stationary logging saw, it is not to do - this is the manufacture of a trowel platband because the manual model of such a saw is extremely difficult to accurately follow the patterns of the template.

Please note that when creating slot patterns, it is strongly recommended to use not flat, but a round version of the jigsaw saw. This will avoid random deviations from the drawing lines, the occurrence of which is particularly unpleasant at the last stages of product processing.

In order to make volumetric carved jewelry yourself, it will take the purchase of a set of special chisels.

To cash with a patterned decor, the whole house must be performed a very large amount of work, so it is necessary to envisage the possibility of a rapid sharpening of the chisels. For these purposes, you can buy an inexpensive sharpening machine, which, besides, it will be useful for editing roller, knives, blades of Rubankov and some types of cutters.

With the use of machine profiling

An overview of the instrumental base used during the exterior decoration of wooden houses will be incomplete if you do not mention manual and stationary fusers.

The relatively inexpensive manual model of such a device will solve the following tasks:

• creating from ordinary cutting boards profiled frames for external and internal platforms;
• quickly cut out the grooves for the docking nodes of the Schip-groove or take a chamfer when assembling frames "with overlay";
• make patterned figures on the billets, both in a slit technique and in the form of volumetric threads (and to do it as much as possible).
• inlaid wooden panels in the original inner thread technique.

Note that buying a mill, you need to decide in advance which types of their types will be needed in the future, and add relevant items in the estimate of purchases. Figure below shows the most used structures of the edge and internal cutters.

We select material

In detail about what platbands are made, we told in our article.

Here we recall that in the manufacture of tickets it is necessary to be able to find a balance between the technological qualities of wood and its climatic stability.

In general, such rules should be followed:

• under the volume threads to take soft wood (linden, cherry, alder);
• for making frames, use durable and stable wood varieties (larch, oak, ash, pine).

If the decoration is made according to the slotting technology, then all elements of the platband can be made from solid rocks, since manual sawing patterns today is practically no applied.

Separately, we emphasize another advantage of slotting technology - to manufacture such a decor you can use the usual faeer. Surprisingly, this material after impregnation with water-polymer compositions becomes durable as oak, while remaining the most convenient for cutting patterns.

Moreover, the plywood can be made of volumetric compositions, gluing several layers in one overhead unit.

The only minus of such glued compositions is that a stationary machine must be needed to cut large patterns that admits the installation of the fuel saw of the rounded shape. Complete all the curves of the picture without errors and serifs, using only classic flat sawdresses, almost unrealistic ones.

In the manufacture of platbands, it must be borne in mind that any scenery, albeit the original element of the finish, but at the same time it remains part of the design of the window passage.

1. First of all, the ticket should not interfere with the opening of windows and the closure. This is simple at first glance, the requirement is not so easy to implement in practice and it is when determining the size of the frame, errors are most often allowed.

The internal sizes of the framing should be such that the platband completely closes the end end, but it did not interfere with the complete opening of the windows. That is, when drawing up the drawing, you must first determine the operating zone of windows in the open position and only then develop the mounting scheme of the platband.

In cases where the platband is joined with external slopes (and this often occurs when the PVC glass windows are installed in a cluster of a mortgage bar), its inner circuit must correspond to the outer perimeter of slopes.

1. The next overall requirement for the design of the platband is the upper unit (bar) should be thicker. It is necessary to reduce the amount of water falling on the bottom of the north.

In the classic constructions of platbands for wooden and bar houses, this requirement was implemented in the form of a massive cornice, creating a kind of cover for the entire bottom of the window.

More stringent options for outdoor windows are assumed not to a difference in the thickness of the planks, but the installation of the sings, both under the window and above the frame.

1. Separately, we emphasize that the casing for a long time is subjected to direct exposure to solar ultraviolet, as well as strong temperature and moisture drops. Whatever high-quality wood treatment, it will in any case change the original size and starts to skip moisture to the fasteners.

In view of which, the classical method of its assembly does not imply the use of metal nails and screws (they rust and fall out). The optimal version of the manufacture of a wide frame and panels for platbands is the use of glued compositions from boards and wooden brazers.

Below is an example of manufacturing a collection shield for decorative eaves without using metal parts.

The illustration shows that the shield is collected from the glued jack of boards. The laying of the boards is made with the coordination of the inner pattern of wood. Glue composition - PVA or waterproof joiner adhesive (exposure time - 2-3 liftering period of glue).

The tightening is made using ropes and pegs that enhance compression.

Production of slotted concubines

As a detailed answer to the question of how to make platbands themselves in a wooden house, consider the manufacturing technology and assembly of a slit platband.

Despite the fact that there are more complex variants of framing frames (for example, with volumetric wood thread), this description sufficiently transmits all the subtleties of this stage of the facade finish.

First we give a complete list of operations that must be performed for the manufacture of a platband:

1. Drawing up a technical sketch and the calculation of the main dimensions.
2. Selecting the artistic scheme of the product (drawing patterns, template preparation).
3. Preparation (or purchase) of the necessary sawn timber and fasteners.
4. Marking of parts and connections nodes.
5. Cutting blanks and adjusting sizes.
6. Production of a carrier frame of a platband (for those cases when the slotted pattern of the invoice).
7. Transfer pattern of patterns on the workpiece.
8. Development of the propulsion scheme and determining points for drilling the initial and closing holes.
9. Cutting pattern.
10. Removal of champers and grinding.
11. Antiseptic processing and primer of all parts.
12. Painting of each part separately (especially if a multiple color scheme is used).
13. Installation of overhead parts on the frame.
14. Installation of supporting plates on the wall of the house (if the house from the bar or frame, this operation is not needed).
15. Installing the frame on the window opening.

Now consider the most difficult steps in more detail.

Selection of drawing

Immediately note that, without having practical experience in a tree thread, a drawing for a platband should be chosen as simple as possible, without small parts.

The easiest way to take a ready-made pattern and print it in a natural value. It is best to do it on a large plotter, but you can use the print function in parts present in many graphic editors.

Making frame

There are two different approaches to the making frame for a platband:

1. Cutting a whole piece of glued shield.
2. Assembly from the boards of each element of the base (frame, shield for decorative eaves).

The first option was considered above, but it is desirable to have appropriate experience and skills.

The second scheme is classic and lies in the assembly of a square frame of four planks.

Corner joints are performed in two ways:

• method "Schip-groove";
• van.

A more reliable is considered to be the connection of the type of spike-groove, but for its manufacture, special equipment is needed (milling). The interior of the interface is made using simple hacksaws and drills.

Note that the base of the platband may include not only the frame, but also a triangular shield for placing decorative elements of the eaves. When assembling it occurs the problem of connecting several boards into a single whole. If you eliminate end gluing, it is possible to solve this task using anodized brackets and screws.

Production of carved elements

The rubber platband can be both overhead and solid. In the first case, the frame and patterns are made as separate structural elements. In the second - each frame of the framed simultaneously performs a functional and decorative role.

The most popular is the first option (invoice), due to its technologicality and versatility.

The proceed of the pattern is performed after transferring the pattern from the template to the workpiece. At the start points of the cut and in the curves, through holes are drilled.

The working tool in this case is a manual or stationary electrolybiz.

If the manual saw model is used, then to avoid the distortion, the workpiece must be attached to the clamp on the horizontal plane.

In most cases, the plane of the cut is strictly perpendicular to the outer surface of the board, but for giving the volume effect from the outside of the picture, you can remove the chamfers.

After completion of the pattern, the workpiece is cleaned from large burrs and chips (from the inside and outside), after which the grinding is performed. Stripping surfaces inside the decor are performed using a drill and sprayiber. External planes are most convenient to separate the grinding machine.

Protective processing and painting

All efforts to manufacture wooden platband will be in vain, if you do not take measures to protect against rotting and humidity deformation. This is especially true of carved elements, as they are made from unstable wood rocks, as well as internal platforms installed in baths and saunas.

To properly process carvings and strength elements of the framing, we recommend to adhere to the following sequence of actions:

1. Painting.
2. Protective lacquer coating.

The antiseptic composition can be used the same that is used to stabilize the logs in the erection of log cabins.

Painting should be proceeding only after completely drying the antiseptic. Please note that most modern protective compositions have primer properties, therefore separate coating of the primer can not be produced.

To cover the inner surfaces of the pattern, narrow brushes use for external - wide.

Treatment with varnish is carried out to the assembly of the product: when the painting of all the products is completed and the paint is completely drying.

An acrylic lacquer for wood is suitable for the protection of plates on wooden windows.

In cases where plastic decorative lining are used, all operations listed in this subsection are applied only to frame elements.

Assembling trim

After all the necessary components are made and painted, they must be assembled into a single design.

It is best to do it on a flat surface, before installing on the window opening.

The mounting of decorative elements on the carrier frame can be performed in the following ways:

• self-made;
• finish nails;
• deaf wooden brazings with a fit on glue.

In cases where it is necessary to sew the upper edges of the platband, the decorative element and the frame is allowed perpendicularly. Reliable fixation in this type of joints is provided by mounting corners.

Separately, we note that the most durable platband will succeed when landing the decor on wooden brazening. At the same time, glue covers not only the contact zone, but also the entire inner surface of the carved element (to prevent moisture to prevent).

If metallic fasteners are used, then you need to select the most protected samples of screws and nails.

Tip: Good "disguise" for screws of screws is obtained from a mixture of small sawdust and waterproof joinery glue.

Installation on the window

In order to correctly install the collected platband, it is extremely desirable that this operation will fulfill at least two employees. This is necessary in order to accurately take its position before final fixation.

Despite the fact that the installation of the collected frame is performed according to pre-marked points on the platform, the visual correction of its position will still need.

It should also be borne in mind that in the assembled form, the whole design can be very heavy, and if you follow all the points of security rules, the installation of such products should be carried out only from scaffolding.

Conclusion

At the end of the review, we will stop at one particular feature of the platbands: a non-standard docking with a wall of the house.

Since fixed compounds between the elements of the frame frame and the wall of the house can not, then the problem of sealing the slot between the inner surface of the platband and the uneven loan circuit occurs. From a technological point of view, its presence is insignificant, but with aesthetic is very noticeable.

Therefore, in cases where the platband is too clearly emphasizes the uneven circuit of the wall, there are wooden slats between the wall and a platband, which provide sliding contact and give the entire window block a more completed view.

Send the material to you on E-mail

The platband is the decoration and functional part of the window on the facade of the building. This tradition comes from a long time and does not lose relevance today. You can make beautiful platbands on the windows in a wooden house yourself. At the same time, many products are performed not only from wood, but also from other materials. Creating similar elements requires certain knowledge and skills, as well as suitable tools.

Unusual flavor and style make carved platbands with a real decoration of construction

Currently, the installation of platbands on the windows in a wooden house is again demanded. The photo below allows you to see the best examples. This element emphasizes the desire for the revival of the traditional decor.

The advantages of this element include the following:

• performs a decorative function and helps to visually expand or pull the building;
• complements the general style of architectural solution;
• protection of the space between the window opening and the surface of the wall from moisture and dust;
• reducing heat loss and noise level;
• he emphasizes the personality of the structure and style of the era like.

Also, this design has some drawbacks:

• wood requires a certain processing from high humidity and swelling;
• the need for constant processing and regular care;
• do not combine with metal-plastic windows.

Helpful information! When combinations of wood with metalplastic, they need to be performed in a single color scheme.

Templates of carved platbands on the window do it yourself

There are various platbands on the windows in a wooden house. Their varieties are often dependent on the method of fastening to the window.

By type of fasteners, you can select two types:

• telescopic products possess M-shaped protrusions that coincide with the grooves of the window box;
• the invoices are installed on the window frame with the help of construction glue or nails with screws.

The original solution is considered to install carved platforms. At the same time on the Internet you can find a lot of templates of carved platbands on the window. With your own hands, such structures can be made only with the help of special equipment.

You can consider the following types of materials to create similar structures:

• the traditional material is the wood;

• plastic models are distinguished by resistance to temperature rudders and ultraviolet rays;

• MDF is made from wood waste, therefore, it has greater environmentally friendly than plastic products;

• polyurethane varieties are characterized by practicality.

How to choose the wood?

Popular platbands from wood. At the same time, the performance of the product depend on the variety of the selected tree.

It is worth considering the following options:

• ash, beech and oak are solid deciduous varieties. They differ in durability, but they are difficult to cut patterns;
• it is much easier to handle soft deciduous breeds - Lipa, Osin and Olhu. On their surface, you can cut patterns even manually. Such surfaces must be carefully handled by special compositions;
• from cherry and apple tree it is recommended to create small elements that can be attached to the base;
• characterized by ease of processing and good performance properties of pine and birch.

Helpful information! You can apply different combinations of wood varieties. At the same time, special protective impregnations should be used.

Secrets of manufacturing platband templates on windows with their own hands: stencils and design

You can find on the Internet various platband templates on the windows. You can print stencils with your own hands. The selected ornament should be combined with a common style. It is not worth mixing geometric and vegetable patterns.

In the manufacture of platbands it is worth considering the following points:

• the color palette of walls and decorative products should be combined;
• it is important to choose the right size correctly. Products should not be too small or wide;
• it is necessary to choose a qualitative coating option. At the same time, special paints and varnishes are used;
• the template is required to create external carved elements.

Helpful information! On the workpiece, it is necessary to place the drawing correctly. Details should be located along wood fibers.

Tubes on the windows in a wooden house: Production Stages

Before starting to create a window decor, you can pick up the photo of carved platbands on the windows in a wooden house. The template is pre-done, which should be the same for the design of all window openings.

There are two main ways to create patterns:

• the overhead thread is distinguished by individual elements of the pattern, which are attached to one basis;

• with a slit thread, a cross-cutting ornament is performed, which looks like a lace of wood.

With any method of manufacture should be used. Special tools will also be needed:, hacksaw for wood, set of knives and chisels, and drill. Tubes on the windows are performed in a wooden house of prepared materials. The process of creating products includes several stages:

• accurate measurements are made;
• the selected wood should be dry. The width of the boards depends on the dimensions of the window opening. The thickness of the material must be at least 30 mm when performing a rubber thread and at least 10 - with overlap;

• the resulting holes are rubbed by grinding paper;

• prepared details are attached to the base. It uses glue composition or special nails.

Helpful information! When installing the platbands, the screws cannot be used, since such fasteners cause cracking.

FEATURES OF MONTAGE

The finished platband is mounted for window work in the following ways:

• installation on a deaf spike. Such details are installed on the inside. Under them in the frame are created special holes. The glue is distributed on the spike and it is inserted into the groove. Such fasteners protects platbands from dust and moisture;

• used through spike. At the same time, the place of the junction should be carefully treated with varnish.

Similar techniques are used if the window is wooden. For mounted on metal plastic, special liquid glue is used.

What care is needed?

Carved products are ground, covered with varnish or painted. Such processing are held every few years. This will extend the service life of products, and will also retain their attractive appearance.If plastic or metal products are installed, they do not need special care. It is important to protect products from corrosion and sometimes update the paint.

The manufacture of beautiful platforms with thematic patterns with their own hands will make it original and unusually decorating window openings and bring a special highlight to the conceived architectural style.

Installing the external frame of window openings is usually practiced in wooden houses, where you need to cover the slots between the frame and the wall. The question can be solved in different ways: to jog in the perimeter of the puzzle boards either first cut the platbands on the windows, and then then attach them to the walls with their own hands. There is a third option - put ready-made products purchased in the store. Our task is to explain how to make such a facing on your own.

Types of decorative nachchelnikov

For the exterior framework of windows and entrance doors, platbands are used made from such materials:

• tree, thick plywood;
• metal;
• styrofoam;
• polyurethane.

Wooden facing, decorating the logs of the centuries, remains popular and to this day. It is performed in two styles - Russian, where beautiful carving with a rich ornament is prevails, and Finnish is more laconic. The latter is distinguished by straight shapes of elements and a small attachment visor as shown in the photo:

Reference. The scope of naschelniks from wood is not limited to chopped houses. Now they can be found on country cottages built from a bar and brick, including with plastic windows. As the photo testifies, the openwork pattern looks great even on a stone wall.

The main advantage of wood is not the ease of processing, although it also matters. Another thing is important: carved platbands made by an individual sketch will give the facade an exclusive appearance that you will not see anywhere else. This is a good reason to take on an independent manufacture, because the order of such products from the master will cost SHAZHA. Equally, this also applies to metal nachchelniks - they can also be cut out if desired.

Window facing of foam and plastic - a more modern way to solve the issue. And although the polymer elements for windows do not differ in the transcendental price and are easy to install, they are completely deprived of individuality. The reason is understandable - the production of polyurethane decor mastered many enterprises.

Cut the wooden platband without stencil

This method is suitable for those who want to decorate the door and window openings, but does not have wood thread experience. To begin with, it is necessary to pick up the material - the boards with a thickness of 2-4 cm, whose width is determined by the selected figure, and the length is the size of the window.

Council. Choose lumber from soft wood - linden, alder or aspen. Drinking the pattern in a solid beech or oak - the task is not easy. Spruce is too sunscheled, and pine is easily cracking along the fibers, so it is undesirable to use her newcomer.

The window coating consists of 4 main parts shown in the drawing: two sidewalls, frieze and submap board. The design can be complemented with decorative impurge (otherwise - Kokoshnik). The elements are suitable between themselves at an angle of 45 or 90 ° - at your discretion.

To make naschelniks with a simple pattern of colors, act in this order:

1. Spend a line in the center of the board. Focusing on it, draw a pencil circles along the entire length (you can draw a round item of a suitable diameter). Using the carbon, spend through the centers of all circles of the line at an angle of 90 and 45 °.
2. Take a drill and drill a hole in the center of the circle and two more - on each line. Arrows the petals of future colors around them.
3. With the help of the electro-box, drink each petal and circle the outer contour of the product, as shown in the photo. Cut extra part and thoroughly clean the resulting ornament. In the same way, make all 4 parts.

Council. If you do not speak too well drawing, use ordinary patterns to draw lines curves.

After cutting, homemade platbands need to be carefully treated outside and inside the rashpil, and then - large sandpaper. The last stage is an antiseptic coating and staining (or applying a yacht waterproof varnish). To better figure out the process, browse the video where the little boy performs all the work:

Important moment. Nothing terrible will not happen if the board will crack on 2 parts during operation. They can be born with each other with steel plates screwed on the reverse side.

Production by template

This technology provides for the applied pattern on a wooden surface with a stencil, along which the platbands are cut out with their own hands. Some samples are available on sale are presented in the picture:

Note. An individual stencil can be made independently by drawing an ornament on a sheet of cardboard, thin plywood or plastic, and then cutting it with a jigsaw or scissors.

Drilling of the workpiece under the outside of the jigsaw

There are 2 ways to make wooden nicknames for windows:

1. Take boards and perform a slotted pattern, as described in the previous section.
2. Drinking complex elements separately, and then secure them to boards with glue, on self-drawing or spiked. So make patterns with protruding details.

Regardless of what method you choose, the cutting process looks equally. An ornament is applied through the stencil on the surface, after which the outer contour of the product is formed by the electroller. Where you need to cut the inner drawing, first drill holes for the release of the jigsaw web. For confident work with subtle curvilinear slots, the Pillet is better to take a small width.

Ready element, which is then attached to the frieze or lateral frame of the frame

Note. The same technology is used for the manufacture of platforms from thin metal or professional flooring. Just need to pick up another cutting tool.

We bring to your attention another video, where it tells how to make the window cladding on the template without the use of jigsaw, coping with only a drill with a crown drill:

Installation instructions

In order to install platbands with a slot pattern, there are no special wisdoms. The design can be collected on the table, and then put on the window entirely either fix in parts. In the chopped wooden house for mounting the facing, it is necessary to prepare sites around the perimeter of the opening, cutting the logs to the width of the board.

The element assembly on self-drawing is made in this order:

1. All carved parts are treated with varnish and decompose on the places on the prepared board to form a drawing.
2. If you need to make a large screw, then use several boards interconnected by corners as a base.
3. Each elements are screwed to the base, screwing the screws on the back side of the board.
4. Finished platband Install the flush with the window frame so that it closes the gap, and secure long screws. With sash opening out, make an indent 1-2 cm so that they sprinkle at 90 °.

Council. In order for the elements of the ornament did not move during the attachment, gently tighten them to the base of the clamps.

Conclusion

Cute platbands with beautiful ornaments are wonderful on any windows of both wooden and plastic. It is impossible to say that they are complex in production, but will have to work. Success largely depends on the quality of wood and your qualifications. In order to prevent errors, it is recommended to select the drawing easier and "fill the hand" on the facades facing the backyard. Then the front side of the house you will place flawlessly.

The appearance of the house depends largely on how the windows are decorated. They are emphasized, and sometimes, and form the style of the building. And the main way to give it character - platbands on the windows. That's what they are talking further.

Purpose and classification

Tubes are narrow long planks that frame windows or doors. This principle distinguish window and door. They are usually different in width, but, to maintain a single style, must be made of one material. In addition, they are made in a similar manner using repeating elements and painting in one color.

Door and window platbands serve not only to give the building / premises of the finished species, although this is also important. They also close the technological slot, which is formed between the door frame or window and the wall. This slit after installing windows and doors is filled with insulation, but the view from this does not get better, and water, dust and sound continue to penetrate the room, albeit in less. So came up with the planets' gap to once, and even decorate them.

At the place of installation, the platbands are outdoor and internal. A protective role is played mainly by platbands for outdoor installation. Therefore, they are made from the materials resistant to climatic factors (or cover them with protective compositions) and the thickness of this material is usually greater. Internal platbands are mainly performing decorative function. They are operated in sparing conditions, because the requirements for the properties of the material others are decorative, and not resistance to climatic influences.

Materials from which platbands are made on the windows

Window platbands are selected depending on the overall style of housekeeping. At home build and separate in different ways, respectively, the materials and style of additional decorative elements are selected different. To brick houses, for example, plastic or metal is suitable, but not a tree (this is if the platbands are generally). The windows are also decorated with plastic or metal. For the wooden, on the contrary, it is more like wood. But this is not a rule. Choosing platbands is a personal matter of the owner. What you want, such and put. It is only important to understand all the pros and cons of each material.

Wood

Wooden platbands are most often made of wood. But any breed of wood requires constant care - painting and / or varnishing. Once every two or three years have to update the coating. Only in this case, the products from it look normally for many years.

Plus wooden window platbands in the fact that they can be carved, with curly elements of various shapes. This gives an almost infinite number of options. There are completely simple models - ordinary bar, possibly with some additional elements. The choice depends on the style of the house.

Wooden platbands are used, both from the street and indoors. Just when installing, different protective impregnations and coloring compositions are used.

Plastic

If the PVC windows were installed in the house, then the platbands also put plastic. They are good because the whole care is periodic wiping from dust and dirt. No other operations are needed.

Plastic plastic platbands are made from plastic climatic factors by adding a dye, resistant to burnout. Mass add components that protect the material from elevated and reduced temperatures.

The plus of plastic platbands is their low price. Minus - a limited selection of models and styles, not too large color gamut. In stock It is usually white, a pair of brown shades. The rest - can only be available under the order, and it is not always. And one more minus is still an artificial material. To put plastic platbands on a wooden house will not everyone wants. Even despite the fact that wooden is completely silent.

The area of \u200b\u200busing plastic platbands is indoors or on the street. If you need outdoor plastic platbands, pay attention to the temperature mode of operation. Plastic must withstand the most cruel in your frost region.

MDF

MDF platbands - option for indoor use. It will not put it on the street - quickly will be unusable. It is compressed chopped fibers of wood, of which products are molded. The surface is laminated by a film that can be smooth, colored, mimic the surface of the stone (marble, for example) or wood.

If you do not taste plastic on the windows, the second possible budget option is platbands from MDF. In any case, most often they are them. There are even special models - telescopic. They are good because the special chalkboard is cut into the desired size, due to which they can change the width and become in any opening. With their help, the doorway is drawn up quickly and efficiently.

Cash care MDF is not harder than plastic - wet womb. With strong contaminants, it is possible to use non-abrasive (liquid) and non-aggressive (without choir, etc.) detergents.

Metal platbands

This type of platbands usually put on the street with plastic or metal-plastic windows. This is a slim galvanized metal sheet covered with paint, resistant to the effects of climatic factors (usually powder paint).

Metal platbands on windows belong to the discharge of budget. They are not very much. Suitable for private houses decorated in modern style. Metal platbands with metallic and alum composite houses are perfectly combined. Second scope - for production and office space. They are good because they combine practicality, durability, low price.

Construction device

Classic platbands on the windows consist of four elements: upper and lower strapping, two side planks. They can be connected using a single spike (as in the figure). Online can be connected, since they do not carry any load. In this case, just tightly customize the planks one to another, fixing each element separately.

If the window provides for the presence of a window sill, the need for lower strapping disappears. When installing, the windowsill are fixed, then the side strips and the last - the upper strapping.

The width of the platbands is selected each time individually, but is usually within -100-250 mm. When choosing a width, proceed from two technical parameters:

• the platband must enter the frame at least 5-10 mm;
• in order not to interfere with opening windows, they must retreat from loops by 10-20 mm (the further, the wider the flaps open).

Finally width is chosen based on the style of the house. Somewhere else will fit narrow strips - 100-130 mm wide, somewhere they will need wide - 200-250 mm. In order not to make a mistake, you can "try on" the planks, jogging them on a couple of nails and look from afar, which of the options like more.

The thickness of the planks for the manufacture of platbands is 20-35 mm. In most cases, a board of 20-25 mm thick is used, as this is the optimal size for self-performance - is not too hard in processing, but rather volume to obtain a decorative vila.

Platbands in a wooden house

Most questions occur when designing windows in a wooden house. Most inclined to the fact that only wood trims are suitable for a wooden house. This has its own reason - a tree with a tree looks most organically. But choose the material - not everything in this case. There are several important points for which you need to pay attention to:

So choosing the appearance of platbands is far from the last, of those who have to decide. You also need to choose a way of wood processing, installation method, and the type of platband too.

Types of wooden platforms

Wood - extremely plastic and very beautiful material, because the number of variations of platbands to strive for infinity ... All of them can be divided into several species: simple and carved. Simple perfectly look at the houses in the modern style, the carving is good for the buildings of the ethnic direction.

Simple on the form of a mold

Industry and private traders sell planks of various sections:

From this handle, you can make simple platforms with your own hands. To do this, it is necessary to calculate the amount of the required material (according to the results of wind measurements). At the same time it is necessary to consider that the length of one plank is 220 cm. Do composite elements you are unlikely to be, therefore it is worth considering that the trimming will be much. The most successful case, if two elements are able to "carve" from one bar - usually the sidewall and the upper / lower part.

The planks are joined in two ways - at 90 ° and gender 45 °. The view of the platbands is different. When docking, the floor of 45 ° turns out a neat frame, we are docked at 90 ° - more expressive design. The protruding edges can be left straight, you can cut off at any angle, rounding, figurine to cut ... it's already like more like that or something will enough skill, desire, fantasy.

The simplest homemade plates

The option differs from the fact that the primary processing is carried out independently. Suitable and unedged boards. From the edged, a modest finish for the country house or for the house of planed / glued bar is obtained. The board is grinding first with coarse emery paper, then more and more thin. When the surface becomes smooth and smooth, you can start to clarity.

Nothing difficult - only well-processed boards

From the unedged boards, the bark is removed, the surface is also grinding. There are options here. You can achieve smoothness, removing flaws. It is only possible to remove the upper grungy layer, leaving it the imperfection of wood and in the future, just emphasize it during processing.

Carved plants

Openwork wooden platbands on the windows - a beautiful, but expensive option. Dear - if you order their execution, and time-consuming, if you do it yourself. There is, however, simple, but spectacular patterns that, in the presence of an electric bike and desire, can be made independently.

There are two types of openwork platbands - with slit and overhead elements. The slit is when the holes in the platbands are done through and the wall is visible through them. Overhead is when the window is decorated with conventional plackets, and elements of slit thread or decorative speakers (lining in the form of rhombuses, rectangles, etc.) are fixed on top of them.

In the case of overhead elements, contrasting colors often use. For example, the planks are painted in a dark color, and the openwork is in bright. But this trick easily passes only at the installation stage - you can separately paint both parts. Subsequently, it is accurately, a thin brush to apply different colors.

How and what to fix platbands in a wooden house

In the brusade or log house, the windows and doors are put on the cluster - a special framing of the opening of wood, which is not fixed hard with the walls, and keeps the friction force in the type of comb / groove lock. Make a squat from a thick wooden bar. The windows frame or door is attached to the cock. When installing platbands, they are also attached to the bulk. Since there is no load on them, then the planks are usually fixed on both sides, retreating 10-15 cm from the edge.

Fasteners can be used in two types:

The fastening on the wrenches is more laborious, but it is absolutely not visible. If this process is too complicated, use finish nails.

How to fix platbands to a log wall

When installing platbands on Ohm, there are no problems with a bar: the surface is smooth, it is easy to fix it. If the log house is composed of logs, everything is more complicated. There are two options:

Which method choose is your solution. Both are viable and both are not perfect - it is difficult to ensure tightness.

How to prevent the moisture of moisture under the platbands

Ensuring tightness is the main concern when installing platbands on a wooden house. Most questions arise about how to prevent the depriction of moisture under the top bar. Water, staining along the wall, inevitably falls into the gap between the platband and the wall. There are several options for solving the problem, mostly traditional, but using new materials.

Tubes with wooden "visor"

Such platforms are also called "Finnish", since almost all at home in Finland are framed in this way. In addition to the traditional four planks, there are still an additional inclined visor, which support consoles, resting in the side planks. The angle of inclination of the bar is preferably choosing the same as the angle of inclination of the roof or close to it. Although a minor detail, but it looks more organic.

When installing, under the visor in a log or bar, you can do a few millimeters, "drown" there is the edge of the visor, close the remaining gap from below and on top of the sealant (silicone, resistant to frosts, with adhesion to the wood).

All are good Finnish platbands, but with carvings they combine weakly. Style is not the one. They are remarkably suitable for simpler, laconic design. Although there are similar options and in Russian style, just to make them very difficult.

Metal visor

In the same principle - to take water from the platbands - solves the task this method. Only the metal bar is used in the form of the letter Z - part of the standard lowbow. Color is selected into the tone with walls or with color of cash.

The method of installation is the same: they do it in the wall, only the size of it is much smaller - the thickness of the plank is several millimeters. The installation is the same as described earlier: one part we get into the groove, close the slit silicone sealant. The only difference is that the free edge can be consolidated to the top plank of the platbands (with the help of self-sufficiency).

Installing the bottom strapping at an angle

The bottom layer of the platband washes at the same time serve protection against precipitation. It is installed at an angle for this. The choice of angle of inclination is no different - close to the corner of the roof.

With the installation of this plank, everything is simple. It supports triangles embroidered on a logberry cut from wood. Water will not flush along the wall, but at some distance from it. It is already important correctly - so that the water does not wash the foundation.
