Very satisfied with the window sealing (also a window sealing guide)

The view when the balcony railings are removed

Look at the two completed pictures

1. Business selection

1. The essence of the window manufacturer The first step is to purchase aluminum materials, insulation strips, sealing strips, hardware, and glass for processing and assembly. The materials they choose determine the final effect.

2. Order from a professional door and window shop, preferably one processed by your own factory. Also, be careful to avoid encountering baskets.

3. Join the decoration group in the community. As long as you are not the first to decorate, you can learn from your neighbors. Some communities also have group purchases that you can participate in.

4. Ask the merchant to bring the installed construction site to see the actual product.

2. Material Selection

118 Series Broken Bridge Diamond Integrated Windows

I chose casement windows because the sound insulation and sealing of casement windows are better than that of push-pull windows. Good

Color:

Interior: Fluorocarbon Gray. I was very confused when I was choosing, as I was afraid that it would be dusty when I made it. After installing it, I found that this gray color has a metallic texture and looks quite high-end.

Outdoor: brown. This needs to be consistent with the developer’s railing color.

Contains:

1. Aluminum material: 118 broken bridge series outer frame is 118mm wide, and the main material wall thickness is 1.6mm.

2. Diamond screen window: 304 stainless steel, 0.8mm, inward opening (merchants say that King Kong integrated windows cannot make high-permeability screen windows, but system windows can)

3. Insulation strips : PA66 (14mm extra wide) nylon.

4. Sealing strip: EPDM rubber strip (automotive grade leather strip).

5. Anti-pry lock point lock seat.

6. Sliding brace (also known as hinge, four-link): OULI heavy-duty thickened anti-fall model.

7. Handle: Germany is good at gambling.

8. Glass: CSG original sheet, 5mm 15A (argon) 5mm hollow tempered glass.

① Choose float glass (the glass piece is flat and without ripples), do not choose flat glass (with ripples)

Float glass: The glass liquid is between two liquids with different specific gravity. The middle of the contact surface is formed into a glass piece

② I heard that double-layer laminated glass has better sound insulation. I visited a neighbor's house and felt a little dizzy when I saw it, so I gave up immediately. Please choose carefully.

9. Anti-fall safety rope.

10. Anti-collision angle.

11. Corner assembly process: movable corner code process (applicable situation: supports on-site frame assembly, suitable for situations such as insufficient space in residential elevators and stairwells that require frame dismantling and transportation)

Other corner assembly processes include top screw corner coding process and pin glue injection process

Upgrades:

1. Low-e glass

In fact, it is It is coated with a layer of Low-e film

①Benefit 1: After it is applied, the inside cannot be seen from the outside, protecting privacy

②Benefit 2: Due to its low radiation rate, in summer Reflects external heat energy and reflects indoor heat energy in winter.

③Identification method: Use a mobile phone flashlight to shine on the glass. The third light spot is colored (it seems that the fourth light spot is also mentioned)

④Warm reminder: Never put the glass If installed upside down, it will have the opposite effect (the picture shows the case in my community)

2 Glass: The two large pieces of glass in the middle are thickened to 6mm

3. Children press the handle. Installed on the window screen. With this, there is no need to install a protective grille, and the visibility will be much better.

Summary: Thermal insulation mainly depends on the heat insulation strips, the air tightness mainly depends on the sealing strips, the sound insulation mainly depends on the glass, and the water tightness mainly depends on various accessories.

If it is an inward-opening window, you also need to pay attention to the internal drainage system. If you care about aesthetics, you can focus on invisible frames.

I used to think that window sealing was not just aluminum or glass, but now I know that to achieve the effect of heat and sound insulation, a lot of effort needs to be put into invisible areas.

3. Scheme Selection

The determination of the scheme also took a day or two to discuss, taking into account ventilation, lighting, aesthetics and other factors. After installing it, I am still very satisfied.

Final plan:

1. Because the main landscape is on the left side, a complete large glass was made on the far left side. It would be better if there were no pillars between the large glass windows on the left and middle. However, the 3.8-meter-long glass cannot fit into the elevator, and the cost of a crane dedicated to lifting the glass is too high. Give up sensibly.

2. Open one fan at the left corner and one fan at the right corner. The air will enter from the left and the air will exit from the right to form convection.

①Open the fan at the left corner: leaning against the large glass, making it easier to wipe the large glass next to it in the future.

② Right corner opening sash: lean against the wall to avoid touching the handle of the right corner opening sash when opening the screen window of the middle opening sash inward.

③Separation method: I saw some neighbors doing it like the picture on the left below, but I personally prefer the picture on the right below.

3. Opening fans in the middle: I originally wanted to make two opening fans in the middle, which would provide better ventilation, but I always felt it was a bit earthy, so I gave up.

4. Since there is only one balcony, it is difficult for the air to circulate in the house. I am also considering turning the entrance door into a ventilation door.

4. Installation

1. The installation process is scary to watch. Therefore, when signing a contract, you should pay attention to whether the company has purchased insurance for the installation workers, and whether the responsible party in case of problems is clarified.

2. The elevator in the community cannot place the outer frame of the window, so it is lifted up by an indoor crane (this kind of crane cannot lift the glass)

3. The outer frame Foam glue needs to be applied on the top and bottom of the outer frame

4. Two points need to be noted

① The normal slope of the window sill is low on the outside and high on the inside to facilitate drainage. But if you encounter a careless developer who makes the building look high on the outside and low on the inside, you must deal with it in advance.

② The left and right sides of the window sill are uneven. A difference of 1-2cm is normal. Just put some cement mortar on it. A neighbor's house is 6cm off, so you need to find the developer to correct it.

Reliable merchants will also help owners pay attention to these two points when sealing windows and measuring tapes.

Overall, the whole process took a lot of thought, but the results were pretty good.
