How to make an opening window from a blind plastic window

The technology for such a modification is simple. Window installation specialists with at least 3 years of experience will perform the replacement within 2 hours. After it, the windows will become more functional and convenient. Effective ventilation of the room will be possible. It will be more convenient to wash double-glazed windows from the outside. To replace the dismantled sash, install:

  • tilt and turn . It is opened or tilted along the plane of the opening. When the handle is turned 45 degrees, a gap appears around the perimeter of the window. It receives air from the street. This is how the slot ventilation mode is implemented. Its convenience is that you do not need to remove things from the windowsill when ventilating.
  • rotary _ The system with a rotating sash does not provide for slot ventilation. It is advisable to install such a system if the surrounding environment allows you to fully open the double-glazed window. The profile and glass should not hit the slope. In winter, you should not open the window completely. To limit the opening profile, a comb is mounted on the frame. It makes it possible to adjust the opening width of the profile.

Advantages of replacing a blind sash

Dismantling a double-glazed window, and not the entire window system, takes place without an abundance of construction waste, and the finishing of the adjacent walls does not deteriorate. There is no need to dismantle the window sill, which is especially important when designing.

Installing a sash is cheaper than replacing the entire structure, and it takes less time - work with PVC structures takes 7-10 days. During this time, the room will be reliably protected from weather conditions and precipitation by the old double-glazed window, because preliminary dismantling is not carried out.

By replacing part of a window, you will change its characteristics. For example, by installing a tinting film, reinforced double-glazed windows, handles with locks and much more.

How to improve glazing

Tilt-and-turn fittings for an updated window are most often chosen. This solution allows you to choose a more convenient ventilation mode. For greater comfort, you can implement a micro-slit ventilation system in a window opening with a tilt-and-turn sash. It makes it easy to organize a constant flow of fresh air mass without the risk of overcooling the room during the cold season.

To make it easier to clean your windows and to take care of them less often, replace the standard double-glazed window. Install a self-cleaning system. In this case, dirt from the outside of the opening will be removed on its own. You don't even have to wash your windows. It disappears under the influence of sunlight and precipitation.

Models of window sashes

The modern market offers a variety of types of window sashes, which we are ready to install instead of inconvenient blind ones:

  • rotary;
  • folding;
  • tilt and turn;
  • hanging;
  • rotating along a vertical or horizontal axis;
  • sliding;
  • folding.

Do you have a blind part of the window that is too spacious and would look inappropriate as a pivoting sash? Installing an impost will break a solid glass unit into several parts.

We work with all brands of window designs and find an individual approach to each client. The consultant will help you understand all the nuances of constructing modern window sashes.

Modernization procedure

So, now we know for sure whether it is possible to make an opening window from a blind window. It's possible. Transform the window opening in stages:

  • Measure the blind sash.
  • A new part is made for the old frame.
  • Ready-to-install materials are delivered to the customer.
  • Remove the old glass unit from the profile system.
  • Outside the opening, fasteners for the mosquito net are fixed.
  • Install window hinges and hang a new profile on them.
  • The sash is adjusted and the fittings are checked.
  • Check the tightness of the window system and the tightness of its fit to the base.

Reviews about our work

Bogdan 10/07/2020
In the old aluminum glazing from the developer, the windows opened only from the top and were tilted. I wanted it to be possible to open them. The craftsmen from Window Repair Service were able to do it! We removed the sash, changed all the trim, sawed something, but the result is pleasing! And the wife is happy: the windows can now be washed properly!

How to work with a huge window

In a large opening, opening sashes place a high load on the base. Large area profile systems are difficult to operate. The best solution is to divide the opening into a pair of independent sections. Then you can build into the frame:

  • blind and opening doors,
  • two opening sashes without a glass separator profile - an impost - to make the window a frame window,
  • 2 opening segments with impost.

When installing new glazing, take care to install a mosquito net. It will protect the house from insects, dust, pollen. To protect your pets from falling, install an Anti-Cat Mosquito.

Process Features

High-quality replacement of a double-glazed window with a sash always begins with preliminary calculations. They are necessary for a detailed study of the design, assessment of its quality and possibilities for modernization. The problem may be the low load-bearing capacity of the plastic profile, lack of reinforcement and/or insufficient thickness of the partitions. Such options often occur when previous owners want to save money or due to the fault of unscrupulous developers.

Analysis of the information received allows us to identify possible problems and develop the optimal way to solve them. Based on the results, a suitable profile is also selected.

Changing a pivot window to a tilt-and-turn window.

When performing the work, the entire “piping” of the fittings (all the metal) is replaced with a new one, only the bottom loop remains. It is better to install the fittings of the same brand as the old one, then you will not have to change to a new one and reinstall the top hinge. This is important, since it is not easy to install the top hinge correctly and efficiently without a template, and even in “field” conditions. An incorrectly installed top hinge can become loose over time, especially on large sashes. Which threatens their downfall. It is advisable to find an agreement to determine the brand of the profile system. This is necessary to select “standard” strikers. Cost (including Roto NT fittings) (only plastic windows) - 5000 rubles / sash.

Where is it necessary to install blind windows?

Large fixed windows are most often installed in private cottages, since proper lighting of spacious areas requires the installation of several window structures. In such conditions, windows have many advantages:

  • low price - from a constructive point of view, they are considered simpler, not equipped with complex fittings;
  • reliability - windows do not bear the functional load to which opening windows are subject;
  • tightness - the absence of fittings and the perimeter sealing system enhances the heat-saving properties of the window.

In addition, monolithic blind roof window designs provide good natural light and aesthetic appeal.

Our company’s specialists are engaged in the conversion of fixed PVC windows into opening ones. They also install windows of any size using profiles from well-known global manufacturers. Our catalog contains a large selection of ready-made solutions, and we also accept orders for the production of PVC windows for individual orders.
