Installing a new plastic window is always a joyful event. High-quality, modern and practical - it significantly changes the microclimate in the room, making it more comfortable and cozy. However, after installation, an external joining seam is formed from polyurethane foam. The foam itself has excellent heat and sound insulation properties, but without professional finishing it begins to actively deteriorate due to the influence of ultraviolet rays, moisture and frost. is engaged in the installation of internal and external slopes Qunell - a system created for comprehensive protection of the structure from negative factors. But if everything is clear with the interior decoration, is the exterior really so important?
Qünell slope system: click and you're done
The modern Qünell slope system (Künell), a joint development of leading Belarusian and Austrian engineers, has a number of advantages. This is, first of all, a system that includes specially designed components for finishing slopes, necessary for quick and high-quality installation of the structure.
Unlike a conventional plastic slope, the Qünell slope system is easy to dismantle and reinstall, since they are not attached with glue, but with special latches. This is convenient if, for example, you need to re-glue the wallpaper or repaint the walls. Thanks to innovative technology, the process of installing a slope system requires a minimum of time - about an hour will be enough for a finisher to install the Qünell slope system on one standard window.
In addition, Qünell slope systems are durable, easy to clean, and resistant to ultraviolet rays. Sloping systems are made from high-quality materials, in various colors and designs.
QÜNELL IS AN COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION FOR A NUMBER OF PROBLEMS
Kunel is a decorative sloping system for window and door openings, which has a number of advantages compared to common finishing options. QÜNELL is created as a complete frame for window and door openings and is used both externally and internally in all types of buildings and structures.
The cost of the slope system corresponds to the high quality of the product and advanced production technologies. QÜNELL – slopes that do not change.
Slope panels are manufactured in sizes up to 600 mm. Standard slope panels of sizes 200 and 300 mm have a lock on one side, and 400 and 600 mm have locks on both sides, which allows, if necessary, to obtain a slope panel with a given width for any opening, and also to minimize warehouse balances. The slope panel has a specially designed unique lock, which consists of 2 parts. The lower part is used to install the latch and fix the slope system around the perimeter to the window and door opening. The side part acts as a clamp for the platband along the perimeter of the slope. The 75 mm wide decorative casing perfectly hides possible wall defects in the finishing area and enhances the opening. Gives the entire system a flawless and complete look. The uniqueness of the system also lies in the fact that it is possible to install one casing separately, using a proprietary fastening element - a latch. It is also possible to install the system without a corner cover. In this case, the vertical and horizontal trim are simply cut at an angle of 45 degrees. The starting profile is used to “tie” the slope panel to the window or door profile (frame). Fastening is done with self-tapping screws or with double-sided adhesive tape. A feature of the QÜNELL system starting profile is the presence of a functional element in the form of a “beak”, which prevents the formation of cracks and gaps between window (door) openings and the starting profiles. This eliminates the need to use silicone and other sealing substances. In addition, there is a decorative and functional element that serves to fix the outer part of the panel and gives the starting profile an aesthetic appearance. The latch is used for fixing the slope system to the window and door opening, fixing the casing to the wall along the perimeter of the opening, as well as fixing the decorative element “corner cover”. Corner cover - part of the system is an elegant cover with hooks, which allows you to connect vertical and horizontal trims without the need to cut them at 45 degrees. This significantly reduces the installation time of the slope system. It is a decorative element, which at the junction with the platbands has the same profile, which ensures their perfect mutual fit and gives an aesthetic appearance.
Allows you to install a slope system on non-standard window and door openings.
The Qunell system is sold in ready-made kits in white and in five lamination options (any color of lamination, paint, or UV printing can be made to order)
Each Qunell kit includes: 3 starter profiles, 3 slope panels, 3 trim, 2 corner covers, 15-25 latches (depending on the size of the finished kit).

Wood: beautiful and environmentally friendly, but not for everyone
Let's start with the not most popular finishing method - wood. Of course, the material has such important properties as environmental friendliness and excellent appearance. But for high-quality slopes you will need a very high-quality wooden sheet - one that will not dry out, not deform, and so on.
Accordingly, the price of such a solution will be quite high. In addition, you should pay attention to the fact that a wooden slope will not fit into every interior: for example, in an ordinary apartment with plastic windows it will not look entirely appropriate. But for a wooden house with wooden windows, it makes sense to consider this option.
Plaster slopes: cheap and cheerful
Finishing slopes with plaster is a classic method known since time immemorial. And even though construction thought has moved far forward, “good old” plaster still finds its use. Why? This is perhaps the cheapest option, which is also good because it is applicable for both interior and exterior decoration. In the hands of a skilled craftsman, the plaster mixture will turn into an even and smooth coating, which only needs to be painted in the desired color.
And everything would be fine, but there are also obvious drawbacks to such a solution. To begin with, we note that finishing with plaster will take a lot of time - up to 3-5 days. If you follow the technology, you need to apply the mixture in layers, waiting for the previous layer to dry, otherwise the slopes will become covered with cracks over time. Sooner or later, you may discover another unpleasant phenomenon - peeling of the slope, since the plaster does not form a strong connection with the PVC window. During the cold season, the opening becomes supercooled, which leads to condensation, and subsequently to the appearance of mold and mildew. Well, the last thing you should pay attention to: unfortunately, if you are not careful with the plaster mixture, you can stain the window itself, the window sill or the fittings, after which it is not always possible to restore the original impeccable appearance: stains or scratches remain.
QUNELL system advantages:
durability, practicality, ease of care and cleaning, impeccable appearance, the ability to install in openings of any width, compliance with hygienic and energy-saving requirements, convenience and ease of installation and dismantling of slopes, the ability to purchase ready-made kits for installation on windows or doors according to certain standard sizes.
And…
- installation without glue or sealants will allow the slopes to serve for decades;
- high strength and rigidity of the structure due to high-quality materials and wall thickness;
- reduction in finishing time , simple and quick installation (including at a late stage of repair);
- insulation of the window opening: the system is an additional heat insulator;
- saving materials and money during finishing work;
- the possibility of lamination (RENOLIT films) and painting (according to the RAL catalog) of visible elements of the system, as well as decoration with photo printing (i-image).
Drywall: warmer, but more difficult
This option is more expensive compared to plaster. According to the observations of experts, microcracks often form at the junction of the slope and the window, which is quite understandable - the plastic profile narrows with decreasing temperature, but the drywall retains its shape. The technology itself for installing plasterboard slopes is considered complex and time-consuming: it is necessary to securely fasten the slab, then carefully treat the window opening with a primer, special mixtures and paint.
It is important to mention that when wet for a long time, drywall can swell, so its use for external slopes is impossible. In general, plasterboard slopes look just as good as plaster slopes; they have a number of advantages over them, but they also have their disadvantages.
Features and technical characteristics of Qunell slopes
Windows are now selected by people very carefully, taking into account technical and aesthetic aspects to the fullest extent. But in addition to the window block itself, attention should be paid to the slopes, which should fit into the interior ensemble very well. Experts came up with the idea of making such structures from impact-resistant plastic with an environmentally friendly composition.
The factory slope is designed in such a way that it looks like one with the installed window. It is not possible to achieve such an attractive effect by plastering the opening. But professional systems produced under the Qunell brand fully satisfy this requirement. You don’t need to spend a lot of effort when working, and the cost is quite reasonable.
During the installation process, carefully designed locks and latches are used, which are much more reliable than adhesive or plaster bonds.
A typical latch is initially designed for a cast connection, connected without the slightest gaps. A special selection of plastics makes it possible to prevent their destruction when performing various manipulations. The surface will be completely free of unnecessary elements and will appear completely smooth and even in appearance.
The company's developers made sure that it was possible to combine slopes with platbands and windows of various colors and textures. Those interested will be able to either choose an imitation of natural wood or give preference to a simple monotonous color.
The European company has been producing products for quite some time. She managed to achieve:
- selection of excellent materials;
- total environmental and sanitary safety;
- preventing the formation of condensation and freezing of the structure;
- the highest tightness of systems;
- strict compliance with Russian and international quality standards.
Professional performers, judging by reviews, manage to install Qunell products in a maximum of 60 minutes. This time takes into account all work, even connecting sockets and wiring in the place where the slope is installed.
Customers can choose the color and texture of decorative elements themselves, since the company has taken care of the widest possible range of options.
The slopes have no technical or aesthetic disadvantages. The only problem is the high price, but this can be explained by the care with which such products are made.
The KNL version of the panel allows for reliable installation to walls and window or door frames, and harmonious covering with platbands. For this purpose, the system developers have provided special locks.
The panel can have a size from 15 to 60 cm, the step is 5 cm. Such dimensions mean flexibility of use and the ability to solve any problems in creating openings. And also in the company’s line there are decorative platbands 7.5 cm wide, they will help disguise joints and other wall defects.
Placing the trim separately from the panels makes the opening visually larger, which is most important for finishing narrow windows. Using initial U-profiles, you can attach plastic parts to window frames or doors. Such blocks, due to their small protrusion, block the appearance of gaps to the main structures. Of course, the company's engineers made sure that such profiles were decorative and had a beautiful shaped design.
The slope includes special corner covers that are aesthetically pleasing in appearance and do not have problems with trimming the trim at an angle of 45 degrees.
Additionally, it is worth mentioning the latch that secures the panel to the wall: it is also responsible for securing the trim and for attaching the corner covers. The range of parts does not end there; there are also window sills, ventilation grilles and plugs for it, and mounting templates. Qunell slopes are visually compatible with wood, plastic and aluminum to the same extent. The company is ready to supply sets of products, focusing on the standard sizes of openings.
You can mount the set on a finished window without purchasing complex tools - the development “forgives” mistakes in cutting and even in the curvature of the openings themselves.
Standard lamination for light oak wood and white shagreen is always available in warehouses, as is golden oak. If you require an original laminating film, you can place an order and receive the product as soon as possible. The engineers thought through various aspects - hygienic, economic (minimal intrusion into openings and window sills). Qunell manufactures all its products with minimum construction times in mind. Framing the opening allows it to be ventilated and insulated, and not just give it an original design.

Plastic slopes: assemble the window yourself
The choice of plastic for finishing slopes is quite logical: this material goes well with plastic windows. The relatively low price also speaks in favor of plastic finishing of slopes. But here, as in the case of sandwich panels, you need to keep in mind that cheap material can change color over time, become deformed, and as a result, the window opening will lose its original appearance. As in the case of slopes made of sandwich panels, if the need for repairs arises (damage to the slope itself, re-gluing wallpaper, etc.), then the plastic slopes will have to be replaced; they cannot be restored. Also, when finishing an opening with plastic profiles, it is important to carefully select all structural elements and carefully process the joints - only in this case can an acceptable appearance be achieved.
So, when choosing slopes, pay attention to the following points:
- If the appearance of the window and durability are important to you, make sure that the materials used are resistant to external weather and mechanical influences - moisture, heat and frost, temperature changes, sunlight, shock and damage;
- Modern options for finishing slopes provide scope for design ideas - use these opportunities;
- Opt for materials that provide comfortable and quick wet cleaning, with the possibility of using detergents;
- If you are not ready to make frequent repairs, see how durable the proposed solutions are.
All the requirements of the modern consumer are fully satisfied by the QÜNELL slope system - the right solution for the right price.
Installation of external slopes Qunell
Is it possible to install the slopes yourself? Certainly. But only if you have experience in such work and all the necessary tools. The Qunell system differs from all other materials in its fastening. Not knowing the design features can cause cracks and drafts.
Do you live on the first floor? Then you don’t have to worry about the integrity and durability of the slopes. Thick walls of Qunell can withstand strong mechanical shocks and loads without losing their attractiveness.
