ledge stone
In the early stage of decoration, we will encounter a problem, that is, the position of the window, should we make the window frame first and then the window sill stone, or should we make the window sill stone first and then the window frame? Let’s analyze the pros and cons in detail.
the
Window position sash and foundation
First of all, we need to know the function of windows. The purpose of windows is to separate the indoor and outdoor spaces, so that the indoor space integrity is better; secondly, the windows can block various natural changes outside, reducing the impact on the interior. The most important thing around the window is the waterproofing of the edge of the window frame, which is very important.
In the first case, install the window sill stone first and then install the windows.
the
First press the window sill stone and then the window node
This method is to prepare the window sill stone before making the window. The inner side of the window sill stone protrudes 30mm on both sides, and the outer side protrudes 15mm. Then the window falls directly on the window sill stone and then collects soft glue to waterproof.
Advantages: The inside and outside of the window frame are stone window sills, which are more beautiful; the outer side of the window sill stone protrudes about 15mm from the wall, which can effectively reduce the pollution of the wall caused by water falling on the window sill.
Disadvantages: The stone itself is not waterproof, so doing the window sill stone first may cause water seepage at the position of the window sill stone and affect the indoor wall in the later stage; we generally recommend using natural marble or artificial stone for indoor window sill stone, not granite. Natural marble or artificial stone should not be used in the outdoor environment, as it will cause problems such as discoloration, arching and cracking after a long time; the whole window sill stone is made first, and it is not convenient to replace the window sill stone in the later stage; the window falls directly on the window sill stone, making the window itself The weight is all transferred by the window sill stone, which may cause deformation and breakage of the window sill stone; making a whole piece of window sill stone will increase the budget for the window sill stone.
The second way is to make windows first and then window sill stones.
Do windows first and then window sill stone nodes
This method is to press the window frame first, fill the window frame with foam and apply glass soft glue around the outside, and then make the indoor window sill stone.
Advantages: The window falls directly on the wall foundation, the window can bear the force better without affecting the window stone; the foam filling around the window frame and the soft glass outside the window can effectively waterproof; the window sill stone is only used for the indoor part, Natural marble or man-made stone can be used with confidence; saving the budget for window sill stones.
Disadvantages: The outer side of the window frame is the base of the original wall, and the inner side is the window sill stone. The difference between the inside and the outside is large, which will affect the appearance a little; the waterproofing of the window position mainly depends on the outer wall of the building itself and the soft foam glue at the window frame position, which is not perfect.
Press the window position of the window frame first
As for the relationship between the window sill stones at the window position and the windows, we generally recommend that the windows be installed first, and then the indoor window sill stones be made. Most of the new house decorations now adopt this method. For the problem of waterproofing the outside of the window first, you can do waterproofing once, or you can make a layer of aluminum plate on the outside of the window. These methods have good waterproof effects.
