Replacement of the · Minsk sealant

The wrong sealer broke the fence: real case breakdown

Like a glass pack sealant put in a prank, killed the planks, the loop and the pen in a few months.

I'm often confronted with problems that arise from a seemingly harmless desire to save or make the best of it. One of the most common mistakes is to use the wrong sealant.

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 sticky sealant and the sticker sealant are different products. They have different shapes, hardness and purpose. Putting 'no' on the furniture means putting excess pressure on the furniture and breaking it down in a few months.
Don 't buy a sealant on the principle that it's the same width.On a plastic window, this almost always ends up repairing the furniture, which costs more than replacing the sealant itself.
Replacing the sealant
from 10 rubles per m
Ordinary — 10 rubles/m. Schlegel (co-extruded) — 14 rubles/m. Work included.

What happened?

The owner of the window decided to remove the window sill and bought the first sealing device in the store. He found a sealing device for a glass pack; thicker and harder, designed to fix the glass in the handle.

The wrong profile and the hardness of the shutter caused the shutter to close with great force, creating a critical load on all the furniture elements.

What That Led to

During the months of active exploitation, the following fractures were found:

  • I'm not going to. They've deformed and the answering boards are out of order.They couldn't handle the constant pressure.
  • I'm not going to. The bottom loop broke.The load on her was too much.
  • I'm not going to. The pen mechanism is broken.It was impossible to turn it back without much effort, and it eventually broke.

Instead of replacing the sealing machine cheaply, it took a serious repair with the replacement of several pieces of furniture, and of course, the installation of the correct sealing machine.

Why it's so important to use the right sealant

The glass sealant is a type of glass that is used to seal glass in a glass case, but not to seal the glass case.

  • I'm not going to.creates excessive pressure on the furniture, causing its rapid wear and tear;
  • I'm not going to.interferes with the closing mechanism;
  • I'm not going to.It can deform the crease itself.

What can be done to avoid such a situation?

And I'm going to tell you right away, REHAU, VEKA, KBE — these are the frames, not the seals, they're the seals, and they're all the same one, so picking a seals for the seals is a myth from the stores.

If you decide to change it yourself:Take off the old sealant and select the type of sealant and the purpose of the sealant, not the sticker. Take the universal ribbons only in extreme cases, they rarely fit perfectly. Once you install them, check the closing of the window: if there is a strain, you've made a mistake.

How much to correct

The job The price
Replacement of the sealant of the container (ordinary) 10 rubles per m

Replacing the pen I'll give you 10 rubles.

How could it be cheaper:If the owner called the master right away, it would have been the right thing to do.Replacing the Schlegel sealant—14 rubles/m. Replacing the planks, loops and pens — this is already the result of the wrong material.

From the practice of a master

From the practice of a master

The owner bought a sealing machine and put it in the guardroom around the window. It was a glass packaging machine, hard, thick, not for holding. The building began to close with great effort.

Remove the wrong sealant, put the right — Schlegel for the sealant. Replace the backboard, bottom loop, pen. Adjust the pressure along the contour. Explained to the owner: REHAU, KBE, VEKA — these are the manufacturers of the profile, not the sealant.

The window closes easily, without any doorways, but this mistake could have been avoided with a single call.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a stick seal and a lock seal?
The sticky sealant works to fix the glass packaging in the frame; it is thicker and harder. The fake sealant ensures the seal between the slit and the frame; it is softer and of other shape.
What kind of sealant do you use?
Only Schlegel. REHAU, KBE, VEKA — these are the manufacturers of the frame profile, not the sealant. The sealant for all of them is one — Schlegel, ordinary (10 rubles/m) or co-extruded (14 rubles/m).
How do you know when it's time to change the sealant?
If the rubber is cracked, lost its elasticity, shrunk or started to move away from the window, and the window is bloating and the visual sealant looks normal, it could be because of the squeeze or the geometry of the shutter, it's a matter of adjustment.
Can I replace the sealant myself?
Technically, yes, but this is where they're most likely to make mistakes: they buy a sticky sealant, put it in a pronoun, and a few months later the furniture breaks down. If you decide to change it yourself, show the model to the seller and take a strictly fake sealant. If you're in doubt, call the master, the diagnosis is free.
How long does the replacement take?
Usually 30 minutes for a single shutter, if you need to change the furniture for longer.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year's work, in writing, and there's no guarantee for the parts the customer bought himself.

Мастер приехал во время. Отремонтировал очень быстро. Сейчас окном пользоваться одно удовольствие и не страшно. Оно повисло на какой то одной детальке и так держалось. Видно, что мастер таких окон уже тысячи починил.
