The connection between the window frame and the wall is crucial when installing UPVC casement windows.
Firstly, good connection handling can ensure the stability and safety of the window. If the connection is not secure, there may be a risk of shaking, deformation, or even detachment of the window during daily use, especially in harsh weather conditions such as strong winds. UPVC casement windows are made of lightweight materials, but they also require reliable connections to ensure that they can withstand certain external forces.
Secondly, the connection between the window frame and the wall is related to the sealing performance of the window. If there are gaps in the connecting parts, it will cause the infiltration of air and water vapor, reducing the insulation and sound insulation effect indoors. Rainwater may also seep into the interior through gaps, damaging walls and interior decoration. During the connection process, materials such as sealant and foaming agent are usually used to fill the gaps, ensuring a good seal between the window and the wall.
Furthermore, connection processing can also affect the appearance of windows. A neat and beautiful connection can enhance the installation quality of the entire window and the overall aesthetics of the building. If the connection is not handled properly, problems such as unevenness and cracks may occur, affecting the visual effect.
When performing connection processing, construction personnel need to strictly follow the specifications for operation. Before installation, the wall should be cleaned and treated to ensure that it is flat and dry. Choose appropriate connectors, such as expansion bolts, to securely fix the window frame to the wall. Then use foaming agent to fill the gap between the window frame and the wall. After the foaming agent solidifies, cut off the excess part and seal it with sealant. At the same time, attention should be paid to the even and smooth application of sealant to avoid problems such as missed application and foaming.
