Self-adhesive sealant broke the fence: real case

Like trying to warm the window with your hands turned into a pen replacement, a corner transmission and a re-establishment of the geometry of the crease.

The owner of the apartment in Minsk came to me complaining of a strong blow and a broken pen. The window was from the developer, and as is often the case, he initially had problems.

I, Dmitry, am a plastic window repair worker in Minsk. I have been working since 2003, I have passed through more than 9,800 windows.

The main thing is:The self-adhesive tape is designed for wooden windows, and on a plastic window, it puts excess pressure on the furniture, it squeezes the standard sealant, and it breaks down the mechanisms, and the bloating doesn't clean, it strengthens.
Do not apply additional sealants to the plastic window.If a window blows, there's always a specific reason: the geometry of the shutter, the worn-out sealant, the lack of response boards or the installation error.

What happened?

In an attempt to remove the box, residents glued a self-adhesive tape from a construction store to the perimeter of the shutter, not knowing that the tape was for wooden windows.

  • I'm not going to. It's too much for the furniture.The window was closing with great effort.
  • I'm not going to. The pen and the corner transmission broke.The mechanisms couldn't handle the pressure.
  • I'm not going to. The state sealant is splintered.He lost his form and stopped working.
  • I'm not going to. The bloating didn't go away, it got worse.

Diagnosis: What was the real reason?

When I got to the challenge, the first thing I did was to check the geometry of the shutter and the work of the furniture, and it turned out that the real reason wasn't the sealant at all.

  • I'm not going to. There were two answering boards missing.They were probably removed when they were installed, and the shutter was leaning against them because of the warp.
  • I'm not going to. The geometry of the crease is broken.The support plates under the glass packets were not properly positioned, which caused the crease to hang and have an irregular shape.

If the owners called the master at the first sign of a bloating, it would have worked out.by regulationThe heat itself added three more breaks to the account.

What I did

I've completely reversed the fence:

1
I took off the sticks and pulled out the glass packets. With precision, with a backflow protection, without which it is impossible to restore geometry.
2 of the
Putting out the support plates and the adjustment plates Restored the geometry of the crease; it became rectangular again and stopped hanging.
3 of the
Replaced the squeeze pad I've got a new, high-quality Schlegel.
4 of them
Set up two missing answering boards The ones that made the flap stick and cough.
5 of them
Replaced the broken pen and the corner transmission. They were killed by the excessive pressure of the tape.
6
Adjusted the pressure on the perimeter Checked the furniture on the spot, set up the closing.

The result

The window was closing easily, without any effort or effort, the geometry was perfect, the bloating was gone, but not because someone stuck the tape, but because the cause was really removed.

The price of the question

The exact amount of repairs will depend on the length of the shutter and the perimeter of the sealant, but the difference between "if you were to call it immediately" and "after you've warmed up yourself" is obvious in the composition of the work:

The job The price
The window is adjusted (first slit) 50 roubles.
Installing a response bar (for a piece) from 30 rubles.
Replacing the pen I'll give you 10 rubles.
Replacing the angular transmission 120 roubles.
Replacing the sealant (ordinary) 10 rubles per m
Replacing the Schlegel sealant (co-extruded) 14 rubles per month
Restoring the geometry of the creature (rearming) 120 and 150 rubles.
How could it be cheaper:If the owners called the master at the first signs of inflation, it would cost adjustment (50 rubles) and installation of two missing plans (from 30 rubles per piece).

From the practice of a master

From the practice of a master

The owner complained about the bloating and the broken pen, and they tried to solve the problem themselves: they glued a self-adhesive tape from the construction store to the perimeter of the shutter, and the pen broke, and the bloating increased.

At the inspection: two answering plates on the frame are missing (the frame was leaning against them due to a warp), the support plates under the glass packets are standing incorrectly — the crease has been moved and become non-rectangular.

The window closes easily and quietly, the geometry of the shutter is normal, it took one exit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get an extra sealant on the plastic window?
No, the self-adhesive tape is designed for wooden windows, and on the plastic window, it creates excess pressure on the furniture, breaks the pins, pins and angular transmissions, and the standard sealant is spliced, so the inflation doesn't go away, and new cracks are added.
What kind of sealant do you use?
Schlegel — ordinary (10 rubles/m) or co-extracted (14 rubles/m). REHAU, KBE, VEKA — these are the producers of the profile, not the sealant, they should not be mentioned in this context.
The window is bloating.
The master will determine the real reason: geometry of the crease, wear of the sealant, lack of planks, pressure.
How much does it cost to restore the geometry of the lattice?
Re-arming one of the crevices (restoring geometry) — 120–150 rubles. In this work it was part of the complete re-arming of the crevices: removing the glass packets, replacing the support plates, installing the planks, replacing the sealant and the furnishings.
Can we put the glass pack back in without damage?
Yeah, with the rigorous dismantling of the sticks and the protection of the screw, there's always the risk of scratches, so I work slowly and with the tool.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year's work, in writing, and there's no guarantee for the parts the customer bought himself.

The self-adhesive sealant on the plastic window does not solve the inflation, but breaks the furnishings and splits the regular rubber. The real reason is usually in the geometry of the crease, the absence of response plans or press.
