Self-adhesive window connection profile - why is it used?

Self-adhesive window adjacent profile - choosing a reliable way to reinforce slopes

The adjacent window profile is a universal construction strip that simultaneously performs plastering, sealing and protective functions. A profile of this type is made from reliable impact-resistant and alkali-resistant PVC, and is produced in differentiated types and sizes.

Specifics and characteristics

The adjacent profile is usually equipped with a reliable fiberglass mesh glued to an additional shelf. The reinforcing mesh allows you to reliably fix the plaster liquid on slopes and practically eliminate the occurrence of cracks, visual unevenness and shedding of plaster, in particular located in critical areas of the profile abutment.

High-quality plastic is a good means for stable sealing and thorough sealing of all installation seams on window structures. The adjacent profile - unlike roll-tape sealants - is a more popular product for plastering slopes.

Characteristics:

• made from impact- and weather-resistant PVC, alkali-resistant;
• has a protective strip and a universal self-adhesive seal;
• resistant to UV rays;
• vapor barrier and waterproof;
• lightweight and easy to install, cut with scissors.

Area of ​​use

Depending on the type, window adjacent profiles are used in the process of finishing external and internal slopes. They are effective in creating precise and high-quality plaster joints along the entire perimeter of slopes. Mainly self-adhesive adjacent profile is used for:

• plastering door and window slopes in places adjacent to door and window blocks, serves as an effective beacon of 6 or 9 mm (depending on the thickness of the plaster layer);
• plastering works in places where the profile adjoins other façade materials.

1. Measure the desired length of the profile and cut it.
2. Break off the beginning 3 cm.
3. Remove the protective tape a little, install the profile closely, and pull the protective film off at an acute angle. This way the adjacent profile will not bend.
4. Cover the window with film and carry out plastering and painting work.
5. Upon completion of work from point 4, you should wait until the surface is completely dry. Remove the protective film and break off the tear-off part of the adjacent window profile.

Please note that in order to firmly fix the profile, the surface of the window frames must be cleaned of various contaminants and adhering fat. The temperature during the installation procedure should not exceed 40 °C. The maximum lower temperature level is +5 °C.

Varieties - what kind of self-adhesive profile is there?

To achieve an exceptionally strong connection between the window frame and the plaster, as well as to protect the frame during installation work, adjacent profiles of 6 and 9 mm are used. There are reinforcing strips with and without fiberglass mesh. The first is used for external work, the second - mainly for finishing internal slopes.

PVC profile with mesh

This is a classic version of a reinforcing profile: it is a shelf with a self-adhesive seal and a durable protective mesh. It has a tear-off strip that serves to attach a protective film, which protects the windows from possible dirt and scratches.

Thanks to its use, the penetration of moisture and mold is excluded. A very aesthetic finishing element, which is a thin and even strip that frames the window frame.

Products

The window connection profile with reinforcing mesh for protecting window slopes BP13 is a system connection element used for installation in thermal insulation systems.

A durable fiberglass mesh holds the liquid solution and, by reinforcing it, ensures high-quality performance of the plaster layer during finishing work.

A special protective window junction strip with a mesh, which is cut off with special scissors after completion of the work, protects window and door slopes during plastering work. The sealing element of the junction bar with the mesh has a sealing function, eliminates air blowing, providing thermal insulation of the system. This sealing element absorbs the movement that occurs in the slope of the working opening, eliminating the appearance of cracks between the frame and the plaster layer in areas where the window profile with mesh is adjacent to the thermal insulation system.

The height of the profile acts as a beacon and ensures an even slope of the window or doorway. To ensure this function, it is important to select the height of the junction bar with the mesh based on the objectives of thermal insulation and finishing. You can buy a profile with a mesh in heights of 6mm and 9mm.

The window profile with reinforcing mesh has a tear-off protective adhesive strip that provides surface protection during plastering work.

Advantages of a window connection with a mesh: - tightness of the thermal insulation system element due to a thermal gasket, which eliminates the possibility of water and air penetrating under the thermal lining of the profile with a mesh when there is a gap near the window or doorway; - absence of cracks between the window frame of plastic windows, which are characterized by high thermal expansion and plaster due to the use of foam tape; — aesthetics of finishing plaster of window and door openings.

Installation of an adjacent window profile with mesh:

1. Clean, dry and degrease the window frame. 2. Determine the place for gluing the window profile with mesh onto the window frame 3. Cut pieces of the junction strip to the required length. 4.Remove the yellow coating on the white flared part of the junction strip and immediately glue the junction strip to the frame. 5. Let stand for about 2 hours - this will ensure good adhesion of the glue. A window prepared in this way using an element adjacent to the mesh allows you to begin plastering work without fear of contamination. 6.Apply the plaster in an even layer, inserting it into the groove, which is located in the profile of the junction with the mesh. After the plaster has dried (it is best after several days, depending on atmospheric conditions), remove the hiding element from the strip adjacent to the mesh along with the protective film. Removing the hiding element should begin from the window corner in one downward motion.

Characteristics of the adjacent window profile with mesh:

profile length with mesh 240cm and 250cm, width (height) 6mm and 9mm, pack of 25 pieces.

To successfully insulate the room, a window profile adjacent to the mesh without gasket is also used.

You can buy a connection with a mesh in a pure white shade, which will not stand out against the background of the white window frame. Buy a junction with a mesh 250 cm long in the following available colors: RAL 7000 light gray RAL 7024 dark gray RAL 8001 golden oak RAL 8017 dark walnut (brown) You can also buy a profile with a mesh of any color to order. Please note the profile: Window connection without mesh

Installation

Installation technology:

• Mark the line along which the profile will adjoin the frame. It is most convenient to use a laser level, but if you don’t have one, a bubble level will do.
• The required section of the product is measured and cut. To do this, use metal scissors.
• For good adhesion, the frame is first cleaned of dust and other contaminants. Only under such conditions does the manufacturer guarantee the reliability of the resulting connection.
• The protective film is removed from the damper lamella, and the profile is glued to the frame along the marked strip. This is done as follows: after detaching a little of the film, the strip is aligned along the line and pressed against the box, after which the remaining protective layer is finally removed at an acute angle.

• Having removed the protection, glue on a material that covers the window from dust and dirt - plastic film or a special membrane.
• Having straightened the reinforcing mesh, the slope is plastered.
• After the plaster has dried, the tear strip is removed along with the film covering the window.

Profile installation work is carried out at a temperature not lower than +5 ˚C.

Adjacent window profile self-adhesive 2.5 m.p. width 6 mm

A window connection profile with a reinforcing mesh is used to form a slope on door and window openings in building insulation systems and when performing interior work. The profile consists of several parts - the main one is made of PVC profile and fiberglass mesh with a density of 160 g/m2, cell size 5x5mm. 10 cm.

Your window looks like new. The abutment profile is attached to the window profile with a self-adhesive part and over a reinforcing mesh; a window slope is made using a construction reinforcing adhesive mixture, cement or gypsum plasters. The profile prevents the occurrence of microcracks between the window frame and the slope.

The profile is made of high-quality PVC with alkali-resistant fiberglass mesh with a density of 160 g/m2, cell 4.5x4.5. Profile length 2.5 m.p. The width of the reinforcing mesh is 10 cm. The profile has a plaster layer width of 6 mm.

Scope of application

Plastic profiles are used in the process of constructing window slopes both outside the building and indoors. It guarantees a clear and reliable fit of the plaster mixture over the entire surface of the slopes.

The adjacent profile is also used when finishing door slopes at the junction with blocks or other facade materials. The profile also acts as an effective “beacon” at 6 and 9 millimeters, based on the size of the mixture layer.

Purpose of the adjacent profile

This product is a universal bar that performs several functions at once:

• Plaster: a durable fiberglass mesh reliably holds the liquid solution and reinforces it, preventing the appearance of cracks after drying. In addition, the profile itself acts as a beacon. A spatula or rule is rested on it and a neat and even slope is drawn out.
• Sealing: the element ensures the tightness of the seam at the junction of the slope and the window frame.
• Protective: not only prevents contamination of the window during plastering work, but also resists atmospheric influences during further operation.

1. Measure the desired length of the profile and cut it.
2. Break off the beginning 3 cm.
3. Remove the protective tape a little, install the profile closely, and pull the protective film off at an acute angle. This way the adjacent profile will not bend.
4. Cover the window with film and carry out plastering and painting work.
5. Upon completion of work from point 4, you should wait until the surface is completely dry. Remove the protective film and break off the tear-off part of the adjacent window profile.

Device and technical characteristics

The abutment profile consists of several elements.

• Polyvinyl chloride base. The main material for the manufacture of strips is solid PVC, to which a self-adhesive thin sealing plate made of polyurethane is attached. Due to this, the profile is attached to the window frame. It ensures tight fixation of structural elements, and also acts as a kind of damper gasket - compensating for the expansion of materials under the influence of temperatures and wind. The plate (lamella) guarantees the preservation of the plaster and slopes.

• Cuff for protection. It is made of soft polyvinyl chloride, similar to plastic. The cuff is necessary to give an aesthetic appearance to the structure. It covers joints, cracks and other defects that exist or may appear on the window unit.

• Tear bar. It has an adhesive strip with a protective film, by removing which you can easily fix the polyethylene (membrane) to prevent the plaster from getting on the window. If necessary, the film can be easily removed.

• Reinforcing mesh made of alkali-resistant material.

Profile device

This element is made from polyvinyl chloride in accordance with GOST 19111-2001. The profile material is resistant to shock and temperature influences, is not afraid of ultraviolet rays, is easy to install, and does not allow steam and water to pass through.

Structurally, the profile consists of the following elements:

• The base is made of unplasticized (hard) PVC, on the back of which there is a self-adhesive sealing lamella made of polyurethane foam. It is this part that the profile is glued to the frame. It allows the element to fit closely to the window frame, and also plays the role of a kind of damper gasket, compensating for the thermal expansion of materials and wind load. By damping these vibrations, the lamella helps to preserve the inelastic layer of slope plaster.

• Protective cuff - inserts made of soft plasticized PVC. After finishing work is completed, this part of the product remains visible. It forms a neat and aesthetic joint between the slope and the window block and hides cracks that may appear on the corner seam over time.
• Tear strip equipped with a strip of glue. After removing the protective film, it is easy to attach polyethylene or a membrane to it, protecting the window from contamination by the plaster solution. After finishing the work, this strip is easily separated from the box.
• Reinforcing mesh made of alkali-resistant fiberglass, attached to an additional shelf.

Self-adhesive plastic profiles with reinforcing mesh are used to form slopes on the outside of the building and inside the building.

Varieties

To achieve an exceptionally strong connection between the window frame and the plaster, as well as to protect the frame during installation work, adjacent profiles of 6 and 9 mm are used. There are reinforcing strips with and without fiberglass mesh. The first is used for external work, the second - mainly for finishing internal slopes.

Advice: You should start working on applying reinforcing elements no earlier than 24 hours after creating the heat-insulating belt.

PVC profile without mesh

The adjacent profile without reinforcing mesh is used, as a rule, for interior work. However, this type of profile can also be used for external installation, but on the condition that additional reinforcement is not used.

One of the popular and high-quality protective strips of this type is a self-adhesive profile without mesh (9 mm) of the BauKom brand, made in Germany. The adjacent profile without mesh facilitates the application of plaster, ensuring uniform coverage and ease of installation.

Self-adhesive adjacent profile with and without reinforcing mesh

The profile element can be supplemented with PVC corners with mesh and a profile with an open drip. The first will help provide additional protection for arched window vaults and strengthen the corners, the second will eliminate the possibility of moisture accumulation in corner areas, provide a high degree of reinforcement of the plaster layer and minimize the number of cracks.

Specifics and characteristics

The adjacent profile, as a rule, is equipped with a reliable fiberglass mesh glued to an additional shelf. The reinforcing mesh allows you to reliably fix the plaster liquid on slopes and practically eliminate the occurrence of cracks, visual unevenness and shedding of plaster, in particular located in critical areas of the profile abutment.

High-quality plastic is a good means for stable sealing and thorough sealing of all installation seams on window structures. The adjacent profile - unlike roll-tape sealants - is a more popular product for plastering slopes.

Characteristics:

• made from impact- and weather-resistant PVC, alkali-resistant;
• has a protective strip and a universal self-adhesive seal;

Advantages and disadvantages

Window profiles are popular due to their many advantages:

• affordable price;

• simplicity and ease of installation;

• effectiveness in combating cracks between the plaster layer and window (door) blocks;

• effective protection from the adverse effects of the external environment;

• reliable insulation of heat-insulating seams;

• reduction of heat losses and heating costs;

• resistance to mechanical damage and dirt (will not become anther);

• ensuring reliable adhesion of the plaster mixture to the surface;

• aesthetic and harmonious appearance;

• no need to use additional sealants.

The only disadvantage that can be highlighted is that the profile can be damaged if handled carelessly.

Selection rules

When purchasing material, be sure to pay attention to several important parameters.

• The presence of a protective cuff. If there is no such element, then seams will be visible at the joints of the slope and frame. In addition, the end of the bar is made of polyurethane foam, which perfectly absorbs dirt and moisture. This means that after each washing of the windows, the frame will become more and more dirty, and its appearance will become much worse.

• Profile color. When the profile is made from high-quality primary polyvinyl chloride, it has a uniform white tint. This profile combines harmoniously and beautifully with the window unit. If the material has a gray or dirty gray tone, then the profile is made from recycled PVC materials. It is not only less aesthetically pleasing, but also more fragile.

• Product height. For standard work with plaster and putty, you must choose a profile with the smallest height. Moreover, if finishing with insulation is planned, this value increases. On the modern market there are adjacent profiles of different heights: 6 mm, 8 mm, 9 mm and others. They are marked as follows: 6x2400, with the first number indicating the height, the second the length.

All designations are indicated in millimeters.

How to choose

Some tips for choosing a profile:

1. The element must have a protective insert-cuff that covers the junction of the slope and the frame; in the absence of this junction, the end of the sealing lamella made of polyurethane foam will be visible around the perimeter, which easily absorbs moisture and dirt. It will get more and more dirty each time you wash the window, and it will look completely unsightly.
2. It is recommended to pay attention to the color of the product. It is desirable that it be made of virgin PVC, which has a pure white tint. Upon completion of the work, the grayish PVC insert will stand out against the background of the white frame and will not look very aesthetically pleasing. In addition, the dirty gray profile made from recycled PVC is of poorer quality and breaks more easily.
3. It is important to choose the correct height of the adjacent profile. There are models on sale with a height of 6, 8, 9 mm and more. For standard finishing with plaster and putty, you need to choose an element with a minimum height. If the slopes are insulated with penoplex, this value should be higher.

The marking of the models is as follows: 6 × 2400, where the first number indicates the height of the profile, and the second – its length. For example, profile 9 × 2400: profile height – 9 mm, length – 2.4 m.
