Novyie windows in old houses.

• Pre-revolutionary construction;
• poslerevolyutsionnoy constructions;
• “stalinki”;
• The brick;
• The panel;
• The buildings representing architectural and a historical value.

Pre-revolutionary constructions - as a rule, wooden houses with wooden overlappings and walls under plaster. One of their features - difference (and sometimes - significant) the sizes of window blocks from the sizes of apertures. At installation of window during building to an aperture the frame from a thick bar in which already established the window block was mounted. Over a bar organised an impressive thickness plaster slopes.

For long years old wood under the cracked plaster coat gradually izgnivaet, and places turns to dust. At dismantle of windows plaster slopes should be broken, and a wooden box to assort. The aperture in which there is nothing krepit the window block is as a result formed.

In this case installation of window blocks provides preliminary installation of a wooden box which fastens to walls on long fixture.

Walls of the houses constructed after revolution, as a rule, are executed from a brick, and then are trimmed with plaster. It generates slopes, and under a thick layer of a solution the same is frequently latent all dobornyiy a bar. As a result of dismantle of old windows in such house the aperture where perimetres of an outside part of an aperture it is much less, than internal, and the sizes of windows received on gaugings of an outside quarter is received, will be obviously underestimated.

Dismantle of window sills also presents "surprises": sometimes under a wooden board of a window sill there is a ten centimetres of a tow or other filler. Often it has been connected by that during restoration in old houses windows lifted a floor so, and. The height of window blocks should be reduced, and window sills to lift in all accessible methods for that time.

Naturally, at dismantle the tow should be deleted, and an aperture to mortgage a laying to which it is possible to mount window blocks.

Not less impressing cavities are kept after itself by the dismantled stone or concrete window sill. As a rule, it only from above has an equal surface, and from below it is a raw file of a stone or a concrete block. Besides, in old houses with wide walls window sills have width of an order 50-60sm, according to their weight reaches surprising significances. Such window sills, (if they are not supposed to be saved as a historical value) it is necessary to split into parts and to pull off on cables.

The general problem of old houses that after removal of old windows the aperture appears unsuitable to installation new: krepit frames to facing it is impossible, therefore it is necessary to break plaster to walls. Results happen stunning: the original window aperture can mismatch the executed gaugings with a difference more than 20 sm! And if to 10 sm it is possible to fill in an assembly seam in width with assembly foam (it is not too successful, but an admissible variant) at the big backlashes the aperture is necessary for adjusting to the sizes of windows. To make it it is possible, for example, by means of an additional bricklaying.

Discrepancy of the sizes of windows and apertures in "Stalin" and earlier houses - the phenomenon usual. And if the first window blocks for them collected in workshops in the sizes later, with development of industrial housing construction, a window standardised with step in 10 see And if the aperture in “doindustrialnom” the house was less than a standard window at least on 0,5 sm, the problem pereostekleniya was decided not by aperture expansion, and installation of a standard window of the smaller size. Formed cracks hammered improvised means - from dobornogo a bar to a tow, and then closed plaster.

The brick houses which are under construction already under certain standards, as regards replacement of windows - it is much more pleasant, though it too not the most simple front of work. Here it is less than nuances, and still: instead of a finishing layer of a brick in the bottom part of an aperture the layer of a solution of the same thickness quite can be put. At dismantle of windows the solution partially or completely drops out, so, again it is necessary to use bricks and a solution. Besides, in such brick houses in the course of extraction from apertures of old windows outside slopes (quarters) frequently start to collapse. After the lapse of decades since time of their furnish, the material loses durability, and it is better to make new slopes, than to restore the old.

Sometimes the window costs on dobornom a bar, and outflow is mounted to the bottom frame of the window block under the big corner. Zamerschik removes the outside size on outflow, and at window dismantle together with outflow and dobornyim a bar assemblers receive bolshiy the size of an aperture on height. In such situation the owner should indicate zamerschiku, whether it is necessary to it to measure windows with allowance for potential increase in an aperture or the aperture will be lifted to height of a former window.

The most predicted situation - with typical panel houses. There the quarter size is standard, obviously known size. Quarters from this a material, as stenovaya the panel are executed. Here - the least quantity of "surprises" at installation of windows.

Coming back to features of installation in old houses, we once again will repeat: to make exact gaugings of apertures in old houses and to foresee all above described nuances it is practically impossible. Apertures everywhere different and to judge all apertures on one opened as a result of preliminary dismantle, it is difficult. Though, after such dismantle, the picture in general becomes clear, and accuracy of gauging, of course, increases. For even bolshey accuracy should understand, that each aperture can have the features, opening to a sight only is direct during window extraction.

On the other hand, identical windows on the configurations leaving on one facade, all the same should be identical on the size. Therefore, even having the exact sizes of all apertures, the customer averages the sizes of windows and, accordingly, supposes variations in conformity of the window block to an aperture.

In old buildings it is necessary for owners of apartments to consider, that at replacement of windows apertures or should be finished, or - for fulfilment of exact gaugings - it is necessary to dismantle all windows. The second variant is most convenient for manufacturers and assemblers, and to customers is comprehensible only in uninhabited premises for lack of frosts when enough to close apertures erzats-windows from several layers of the polyethylene tense on a skeleton from a bar. Furnish in such premises can proceed without interruption.

On the other hand, all above described complexities are born by a problem to make windows as much as possible big, proceeding from the sizes of an aperture. Accordingly, the more low importance of this problem, the is less than complexities on a way. At any variant the ordered windows will be NOT LESS old.

And besides, considering, that apartment windows cannot essentially differ from neighbour’s, we in this case speak about variations in 5-15sm.

Separately it is necessary to mention a question of replacement of windows in the old buildings which are monuments of architecture. Besides all the same problem with the sizes of apertures for which windows were produced individually, there is one more nuance - preservation of the general external shape of a building. It is one of the major problems facing to the manufacturer. That is, besides fulfilment of the basic functions - preservations of heat, maintenance of sound insulation, convenience of ventilation and others, new windows should differ from the old as small as possible.

Houses of different architectural styles, as a rule, have windows of the unusual form - arch, round, ellipse, in a kind of hardly extended rectangles. Often they are divided by covers into set of sections. In this case use the falsh-covers, allowing to simulate a design of an ancient window. An important point is preservation of the general colour scale of buildings. As a rule, covers are produced of a tree, and colour varies from light brown to dark, almost black. The wooden eurowindows executed "under olden time" and painted by protective and decorative structures, are perfectly looked on facades of buildings and thus perfectly execute heat - and shumoizolyatsionnyie functions.

Summing up to all above-stated:

In any case the skilled company-manufacturer on behalf of zamerschika tries to consider and provide all features of old houses set forth above and to find the optimum decision. From the customer it is required, as usually, he wishes to receive clear understanding of what sizes of windows with allowance for the above described possibilities and restrictions.
