The kitchen is a "heavy area for decoration", and the details of windows are definitely among the top 3 "most prone to problems in door and window installation". ?

So you, the marshal who is reviewing this article, need to take good control. Brother Peng now publishes a guide on the installation of doors and windows during kitchen decoration.

?01 Which kitchen window type recommends sliding windows for easy use?

If you have rich "life experience" like Brother Peng, you must know the kitchen windows and toilets , balconies and other places are very similar. They are used frequently and open for a long time. ?

And there are often obstacles such as cabinets between the kitchen window sill and you. It is easy for casement windows to open and the sash cannot be pulled back. For convenience, sliding windows are more suitable for such scenarios. ?

But there are several situations that are not suitable for casement windows. One is the opening. The second is the noise problem: when the opening is very small, sliding windows can easily affect ventilation; or the bedroom happens to be very close to the kitchen, and there will be equipment noise outside the kitchen, and you happen to be very sensitive to sound; in these two cases, you can Try casement windows. ?

02 Different installation methods corresponding to the two widths of window sills. If you want to decorate a new house, you will find that the windows installed by the developer are in ordinary positions. It is placed in the middle of the window sill, but in fact we can choose the installation location according to different window sill widths. ? 1. Wide window sill? For example: you have just bought a new house, and you find that you are not very satisfied with the doors and windows installed by the developer, and you are not short of money, so you want to replace the doors and windows in the whole house with ones with better functions and effects. At this time, you need to pay attention to the width of the kitchen window sill: the general window sill width is about 28 cm, and the window frame width is about 6 cm. To make the inner window sill wide enough, you can move the window frame as far outward as possible without exceeding the outer eaves. This advantage is obvious. After moving in, the wider indoor window sill can have more room to put drained chopping boards, rags, sundries...? 2. Narrow window sill? For example, your home was built 10 years ago When you renovate an old house and dismantle the old doors and windows, you find that: the kitchen window sill is only 10-15 cm; so no matter how you install the 6 cm window frame width, the inner window sill and outer window sill will not be wide. If you mistakenly choose to install the window in the middle, the extra window sill will be a bit cumbersome.

Therefore, at this time, the window should be installed flush with the interior facade or flush with the tile surface (approximately 2 cm in during installation, flush with the chamfer). ?

?03 The window should be higher than the cabinet countertop and lower than the height of the ceiling. After talking about the width, let’s talk about the height. ?There are two things to pay attention to when installing windows: 1. The windows should be higher than the cabinet height

When Brother Peng was making doors and windows in the old house, the height of the cabinet countertop was higher than the height of the original window sill. It happens, think about it, how troublesome it would be for things to fall into the cracks or to clean. The height of the cabinet is about 85 cm, the flange waterproof strip is about 4 cm, and the floor treatment is about 5 cm. The total of the three together is about 95 cm. The ideal window sill height should be around 5 - 10 cm above the cabinet countertop.

(The height of the window sill is low) Then when you encounter the situation that "the height of the window sill is lower than the height of the cabinet table", you need a height door and window shop owner to add a square under the window frame for you during installation. pipe, or ask the plasterer to build the window sill higher (method one is better than method two, and it is more convenient to waterproof). ? 2. The windows should be lower than the height of the suspended ceiling? If the original kitchen opening in your home is too high, and you install windows directly without considering that the suspended ceiling is based on the lowest part of the top of the house, then it will be very difficult when the suspended ceiling is installed. There may be a dilemma: covering the upper part of the suspended ceiling is difficult and has huge consequences (waterproofing and extreme weather), but not doing the suspended ceiling is ugly. ?

The treatment method is also very simple. When you find that the opening is too high, you must determine the height of the ceiling in advance when making doors and windows, and then determine the size of the windows. You can also make a square at the top of the doors and windows. pipe, to align with the suspended ceiling.
