Fixing the installation of the balcony in Minsk: we return geometry and aesthetics
I got a client who had a problem that was not standard. The balcony block (window + door) was installed in a poor way, with a noticeable deviation from the plane. The product itself and the quality of the materials did not cause any complaints, but the installation was a bit of a mess. The difference in the width of the reflections was 2 cm, and it was visible to the naked eye. The client was already in contact with the installation firm, but decided not to waste time on the long process, and to hire a specialist to fix it.
I'm telling you how I returned the block to perfect geometry.
What was the problem?
- The visual impairment:The width of the right and left spots varied by two centimeters, and it immediately caught my eye and damaged the whole view.
- The deviation from the plane:I've added the level, and I've confirmed that the block is set with a two-centimeter bias relative to the plane of the wall.
This type of installation error is not only ugly, but it can also lead to problems with opening the trunks, uneven loading of the furniture, and even bloating.
How I Solved the Problem
- Dismantling with integrity.The balcony was carefully removed so as not to damage the structure or the surrounding finish.
- Prepare the opening.He checked the geometry of the window sill, removed the foam residue and leveled the surface to provide a reliable foundation for the new installation.
- A rig with a precision gauge.The unit was reinstalled using the level and the shift, and I got the perfect position: no millimeter of deflection, and I applied additional fastenings to prevent even the slightest shifts in the future.
- The final stage:He stuffed the seams with high-quality foam, installed a drain and window sill (if necessary).
The result
- The balcony block now stands perfectly straight, strictly in the plane of the wall.
- The width of the reflections is the same, the appearance is aesthetic and neat.
- The client was satisfied: the work was done quickly (during the day), accurately and with guarantee.
Why is it important to correct the errors in the installation in time?
- The aesthetics:The windows and doors are soaked that they spoil the interior and the facade.
- Functionality:The wrong geometry can lead to the stumps, wear of the furniture, bloating.
- Longevity:The same load on the structure extends its life.
If you are faced with a poorly-designed installation, do not let it go to your head and do not waste your time on useless trials.
