A vapor barrier tape for plastic windows - where to use and how to glue? Parosolation tape for windows: technical characteristics of the tape for plastic windows.

The replacement of windows in a residential or commercial premises is always accompanied by the protection of the weakest knots of the structure: seams between the frame and the wall. It is produced by filling the space between the window opening and the frame using the mounting foam. This material has excellent sound and thermal insulation qualities. However, with insufficient or incorrect protection under the influence of moisture and ultraviolet, the foam begins to collapse and lose its initial properties.

To avoid this, you need to take care of the seams of seams and filler protection. To do this, outside use waterproofing, preventing natural precipitation to the porous insulation, from the inside the vapor barrier for PVC windows, which protects the foam from the effects of water vapor.

What should be a parobararier?

Vaporizolation does not make water from the room in the room beaten in thermal insulation material. The vapor-permeability coefficient of vapor insulation of internal seams for PVC windows should be no more than 0.01 mg / (m * h * pa).

To protect the joints use:

• silicone;
• suggesting cords;
• lena psyl;
• butyl rubber ribbons;
• reinforced foil.

Psul ribbons are designed to create a mounting seam with natural ventilation.

The choice of the parobac was made with the subsequent decoration. So there is a material for dry construction (plasterboard, plastic), wet plaster, is separate to protect the joints of wooden windows in wooden houses, for internal and external use.

Tape can be like the same and double-tier

Butyl rubber tapes are like self-adhesive foam, but with a protective impregnation. With their help, all the seams between the window and the wall of the house are highly close. Also, the carbarrier for windows can have both one adhesive side and two.

There are vapor insulation for PVC windows for seasonal periods:

1. warm season with air temperature from 5 to 35 degrees above zero;
2. winter period with temperature below zero.

Parosolation prevents the destruction of the mounting foam under the influence of moisture, prevents the appearance of raw corners in the window opening, the appearance of fungus and drafts.

If you do not make vaporizolation and slopes - maybe fungus

It should be noted that the price of vapor insulation for PVC windows is absolutely adequate and accessible to everyone. Very small costs of hydro and vaporizolation will allow to increase the service life of windows, and the house is to protect against drafts and mold in the corners.

Installation of vapor insulation for windows

The following are common rules for mounting vapor barrier for PVC windows, since for each individual type of ribbon can have its own characteristics:

1. The window frame and the opening is cleaned of dirt and dust.
2. The window without fixing is inserted into the opening, they are marked on the plastic seat of the steam barrier.
3. The window is removed and the marked places passes the parobarrier.

Hidden installation is made until the voids are gateing. The exterior tapes are glued only after the mounting foam will completely dry. In any case, the vaporizolation tape is glued to a continuous layer window.

Do not forget that the choice of tape depends largely on the type of subsequent finish. It is very important to use materials in compliance with all moisture-permeable characteristics.

Where can one buy? Prices

You can buy vapor insulation for PVC windows in any construction store. If you have to deal with the replacement of windows in your home, consult with the repairmen, what kind of parobarrier you are best choosing, taking into account the final wall decoration.

Real professionals will give you akin recommendations. But, if you came across the "specialists" that they assure in the unnecessaryness of the use of vapor barrier for windows, chase them into the neck. Whose incompetence may after bring you a lot of problems with dampness and drafts.

Steamer tapes for windows, as well as good decoration and mounting seams, will provide decent window characteristics. To the window in your home function well and for a long time you do not have to miss such a moment as the installation of a vapor barrier tape. Use the sealed tapes for insulation of the mounting seam from the vapor and moisture of the adjoining room prevent condensate output to the slopes. If you have a kitchen, a room with a swimming pool or a bath, then the installation of the vapor insulation tape on the windows you just need.

Varieties

Ribbons can be both with one and two sticky stripes. Two adhesive strips are intended for mounting the ribbon one side to the window, and the other to the wall.

Installation of vapor insulation tape

Same steamer tapes are classified on weather periods:

• for the summer period with air temperature from + 5 ° C to + 35 ° C;
• for the winter period with temperatures below 0 ° C.

Tape width It also varies depending on the needs, which makes it possible to ensure reliable vaporizion of the seams of various sizes. Choosing vapor insulating tapes, consider that its width should be somewhere 45 mm more width of the mounting seam.

Ribbons for outdoor work Consist of foamed materials (for this work, well-sealing materials with plaster mortar are needed, which will ensure the required vaporizolation of the outer layer).

Vapor insulation tape can be butyl rubberFor the tightness of interpanel junctions or to install door or window blocks. This tape contains a nonwoven cloth. In the process of installation, it is ground, plastering and painted. This type is also self-adhesive.

To protect against high humidity of the mounting seam under the dry finish of slopes in the market exist metallized vapor insulation ribbons.

Installed vapor insulation tape

General information on the installation of vapor insulation tape

• Initially, you need to prepare your opening: Clear from dirt, dust and other garbage inner and outer surfaces of the opening and frame. The frame is inserted into the opening and is temporarily not fixed.
• After gently note on the frame of the line for fastening the vaporizolation tape.
• After calculating and applying the layout with the window, remove the frame and glue our internal vapor barrier tapes. The paper strip that protects the inner adhesive layer, which later attached to the walls do not remove.

As a rule, the installation of a vapor barrier tape on the design is performed until the seam margin. Therefore, before finishing, moisturizing and filling the foam, you can remove the protective paper strips from vapor insulation tapes. This will allow you to not lose the adhesive tape properties. If you are holding a hidden installation, then the tape must be attached from above and on the sides of the structure, and from the bottom to the installation profile.

• The external thermal insulation tapes can be glued no earlier than the full polymerization of the mounting foam will be performed.
• Installation of a vapor barrier tape under the windowsill can be recently produced. When the installation of a vapor insulation tape under the plaster layer occurs, then the tape should have an outer coating, which will ensure the necessary adhesion with this plaster layer.

In that case if the window is a quarter with gaps between the frame and the wall, Another technique is applied: an uneven joint can be closed with a nastener for windows, and already paste a vapor barrier tape. The installation of a vapor barrier tape on the window is mounted in a continuous layer over the entire loop.

Do not forget that the use of finishing building materials in a complex with a vapor barrier tape is allowed only under the condition that the moisture permeable characteristics are observed.

Shakes, seams of any designs are the most vulnerable places. The same can be said about the windows installed in the window opening. It is the mounting seam that will be the weakest place in the entire design. Through poor quality, the laid seam can go warm, moisture penetrate and outsiders from the street, finally, condensate, which is formed when the temperature difference will accumulate inside the insulation and worsen its characteristics, leading to destruction. The description of the characteristics of the assembly seam and the technology of its installation is paid to a separate attention in Guest. Currently, GOST 30971-2012 is currently.

Features technology. Why do you need a vaporizolation tape

According to GOST, the installation seam must be three-layer. Each layer performs its function:

1. Medium layer - basicly provides heat and sound insulation due to the porous structure.
2. The outer layer protects against moisture coming from the street (it takes it) and from UV rays.
3. The inner layer is vapor insulation. In fact, it delays heat in the house and does not give a pair of accumulating in the inner space of the room, penetrate inside the insulation layer.

Thus, compliance with the device of the seam device is necessary to prevent moisture penetration, condensate formation, improve heat and sound insulation properties. The refusal to install insulating layers reduces the cost of installation and design by about 15-20%, in general, but GOST does not allow such cases.

Classification of vapor insulation for windows

To mount the PVC window, a vapor barrier tape is used in all variety of varieties and diffusion vapor-permeable tape.

Ribbons can have one or two adhesive surfaces. The first is installed on the frame itself, the second can be installed in the window opening, gluing them and to the wall and to the window profile. The range is divided into winter and summer options. Summer is designed for installation at a temperature of +5 degrees up to +35 degrees, winter - for mounting at a temperature of +5 degrees and below. Moreover, when installing in winter it is necessary to warm the surface opening surface.

The tape should be greater than the width of the mounting seam by about 5 cm.

For the material of the manufacture, two types of tapes are distinguished:

1. A tape from butyl rubber with a reinforcing layer of nonwoven canvas, intended for sealing joints.
2. Metallized ribbon, intended for installation in wet rooms.

Types of tapes

The functionality of the tape is different, so when installing the window uses different varieties depending on the purposes at each specific stage. Tapes should be reviewed.

	Material of manufacture	Where applies	Properties	Features
Pits	Polyurethane	Used when organizing a ventilated mounting seam outside. Allows you to highlight the joints. It acts as noise insulation when gluing the lowest surface.	Provides hermetically adjacent frame to the wall.	Unwind the tape (it is supplied twisted in the rollers) is necessary immediately before installation. Over time, it expands and loses its sealing properties. The width of the PSUL ribbon should exceed the width of the assembly clearance.
	Nonwoven material. Sun + - foil.	Used when installing internal slopes. Combined with plastic, plasterboard, protects against condensate falling.	It prevents the moistening of the insulation used for the insulation of slopes, in particular mineral wool. Sun + has a sticky double-sided layer. Is effective vapor and thermal insulation	There is a glue layer across the width. Sun + thicker than Sun.
	Nonwoven material. VM + - foil.	Used when finishing internal slopes, but under the plaster.	Does not allow the penetration of condensate to the mineral wool insulation. At VM + has a glue layer on both sides.	Provides adhesion with plaster. Vm + has greater resistance to moisture.
	It is made of foamed polyethylene, which, on the one hand, is illuminated with a metallized film. On the other hand, an adhesive layer is applied.		Combines the properties of several tapes. It has increased elasticity, mechanical strength and resistant to the effects of aggressive chemicals.	Maybe badly glued to gas and foam concrete.
	A thicker layer of foamed polyethylene is used than the GPL. Metallized layer based on polyurethane film.	Universal tape. Used for heat, hydro and vaporizolation.	The difference from the GPL tape is that an additional adhesive strip is carried out by the metallized film. The tape has the best thermal insulation characteristics. Effectively reflects heat.	Such volumetric, which is inconvenient when finishing the slopes.
Diffusion ribbon.	Polyester fabric with self-adhesive boutique-based strips.	Used to seal the mounting seam from the side of the low tide.	Parotypes from the inside, has waterproof properties outside.	Resistant to UV rays.
Boutioratoid mounting tape	Butylchuk	It is installed between the windowsill and insulation.	Protects from puff.	There is a self-adhesive layer.

The order of installation of vapor insulation tape

The vapor barrier tape is installed after the preparatory procedures are fulfilled: dismantling the old window, cleaning the opening from garbage, dust, sealing and leveling large irregularities.

1. The window opening is wiped with a dry cloth and the window structure is pre-installed. The process places the future location of the vapor barrier feed.
2. The window is removed from the window opening and glued on the frame a vapor barrier tape with an indentation from the markup of 5 mm. In the corners stick the ribbon of jack, for which it is originally cut off the tape with an allowance that will go to fit. The surface must be degreased and dusty.
3. On the side profiles and the top gluing the tape for slopes. Leave backstage about 10 cm.
4. Install the window. Seam.
5. The mounting seam from the outside is closed with diffusion ribbon.
6. Before installing the low voltage on its lower surface along stick psyl.
7. On the seam in the lower part of the window on the inside, the metallized vapor insulation tape is fixed.
8. Ribbon on the windowsill glues last.

Helpful information

Installation of PVC windows involves the use of special insulating materials. This category includes foam mounting for PVC and tape windows. Each of these materials has a definite purpose. As a rule, the tape serves to insulate the seams from dust and moisture, preventing the formation of fungus and molds in the joints. In turn, foam compensates for the effects of temperature differences and provides reliable sound insulation.

Mounting ribbons for windows

The tape is selected with the functional purpose. We offer a mounting tape for plastic windows to buy for any tasks - to seal the sings or slopes, window sills or window openings. We recommend paying attention to the psyl tape.

With a relatively low cost, it has excellent operational parameters, reliably protecting the seams from dust and moisture. In addition, its installation is carried out without special tools. A self-adhesive surface is firmly adjacent to the base without much effort.

Mounting foam for windows

Warming windows by mounting foam has recently been especially important. By correctly installing the window block, you can significantly reduce heat loss. Naturally, the effectiveness of such insulation is determined by the properties of the material. And here usually the question arises: Mounting foam for PVC windows - what is better? Basically, the insulating characteristics depend on the components that are part of the foam, as well as from the manufacturer of production technologies.

Buy cops in Moscow

Our category is represented by the German company Bauset, which has been one of the leading European manufacturers for many years. Under the manufacturer's instructions, the consumption of mounting foam on the window is minimal - at low costs you can reliably seal the window block and extend its operational resource. In the adjacent sections of the catalog, you can choose all the necessary tools to perform work.

Any window needs additional sealing. This is especially important if the street noise intensified, a draft appeared, and the heat is lost in winter. It is best to engage in warm weather in warm weather. For this, many ways are used until the windows are replaced. Fortunately, there are building materials that successfully solve this problem. Such material is considered to be a tape for insulation.

About insulation

The microclimate of the room depends on the windows. Because of the tight windows, the windows are stuffed, cracks and fungus appear on the slopes, there are constantly drafts and street noise. To effectively warm the windows, it is necessary to determine the causes of low thermal insulation.

Most often they are as follows:

1. Wooden windows

First of all, insulation requires old window designs for such reasons:

• previously, the glass was mounted in the frame with a special putty. Over time, it dries and chosen;

• the frames are breathed, so cracks and cracks between the stroke and glass appear;

• forms are deformed and destructed on the frame.

1. Plastic windows

It is erroneously believed that such windows are quite hermetic, so do not need insulation. Unfortunately, after a few years the seal is destroyed, and without insulation it is not necessary.

There are other reasons due to which they need to engage in plastic windows:

• violation of window installation technology;

• window design skew due to house shrinkage;

• factory marriage window design;

• mechanical damage to structural elements.

Varieties of insulating tapes

Widespread use for insulation of ribbons, is due to a number of reasons:

• no annual replacement is required;

• insulation is carried out in a short time on its own;

• when pasting there is no dirt, because water is not used;

• on the frame there are no traces of adhesive composition;

• there is no diffusion of the adhesive layer from the paint frame.

But such a method of insulation has disadvantages:

• after the sickness, you can not open the windows sash;

• a poor quality or poorly glued ribbon lags behind the frame in small areas.

In construction stores offer two types of ribbons that differ in the installation method.

1. Harvester

Foam ribbon with adhesive base

Tapes of this type have a wide capture. The adhesive composition is applied in the manufacture (self-adhesive type) or during mounting work.

To create self-adhesive tape, polyvinyl chloride, rubber and foamed polyethylene (foam rubber) are used.

Due to the plasticity of these materials, the ribbon is easily compressed to the size of the slot. So that the insulation does not stand out on the background of the window, dyes are added: black, brown, white.

Usually, the package indicates the size of the slot that closes the ribbon. Popular options with sizes 3 - 7 mm.

The first began to use foam ribbons. Their popularity is explained by a number of advantages:

• high compression degree;

• frame is not destroyed in insulation places;

• low cost;

• high security efficiency.

These tapes have negative qualities:

• insufficient effectiveness for large gaps;

• little service life. Effectively operate within one winter season;

• in deplete models, the adhesive tape is badly fixed;

• low resistance to water action.

Important!

More convenient for insulation to use self-adhesive tapes on the foam rubber.

They are held longer on the window and regulate the degree of pressed sash.

1. Sealing

D - shaped tubular seal with adhesive base

Tapes of this type have a hollow tubular shape, which is why heat is saved. Rubber and polyvinyl chloride are selected as the material.

On one side of the tape there is a groove tap or adhesive coating with paper protection.

It is believed that the groove is more resistant to mechanical impacts.

These qualities are considered:

• slots are blocked to 0.7 cm;

• any temperature differences are withstanding;

• there is an opportunity to choose coloring for the color of the frame;

• not limited to the use of the window;

• available cost.

But most drawbacks refers to adhesive ribbons:

• are not suitable for any design designs;

• with temperature drops, the adhesive layer is destroyed;

• with frequent deformations, there is a detachment in the glued places;

• the ribbon from the foam material is quickly wet, dust sticks to it. For this reason, frequent replacements are carried out.

Tubular seals are checked annually. If necessary, it is replaced by separate fragments.

As a rule, the tape is selected by three indicators.

By material

Main advantages:

• low cost;

• high elasticity that allows you to close the slots of different sizes.

Disadvantages there are also:

• due to the porous structure, the moisture is quickly absorbed. The drying process lasts for a very long time;

• low durability. With long use, the material turns yellow and crumbs.

Unfortunately, such ribbons are rarely used to insulate the windows, as they increase the price of a window structure up to 15%.

1. Rubber - Used to make two varieties of tapes: self-adhesive and sealing.

Tubular seals with groove

Self-adhesive ribbons are produced on the basis of synthetic rubber and have all its positive qualities: elasticity and resistance to temperature fluctuations.

Rubber seals are not afraid of aggressive media, so they serve for a very long time.

1. Polyurethane Foolder (PPE) - Porous material made of foamed polyethylene.

Due to high elasticity, very effective tapes for small cracks. Good insulation qualities. Due to the presence of air in the structure, the heat insulating medium is created.

Its use is limited to the ability at high temperature to move into a liquid toxic state.

By manufacturers

In construction stores there are ribbons of different manufacturers.

However, only materials of the following brands use in demand:

• Russia - PROFITRAST, ECON, Bison.

• Germany - Kimtec, Deventer.

• Poland - Sanok.

Domestic manufacturers, as a rule, work on European technologies and produce high-quality material not worse than foreign samples. At the same time, German and Polish tapes, although they are more expensive, but serve longer.

Price

Insulation tapes are sold in retail and in bays from 6 to 10 meters.

Since it is necessary for the standard window about 5 meters of self-adhesive insulation, it is most often a purchase of retail.

Price range is very wide.

For the traffic point meter of Russian material, it is necessary to pay up to 15 rubles, and the most expensive German heaters from rubber will cost 50 rubles.

Features of preparation windows to insulation

Preparation of the window for insulation with ribbon is almost no different from the preparation for other insulation. At the same time there are features.

The main stages are as follows:

1. Everything is cleaned with the windowsill. Blinds are removed from the windows.

1. Frames were washed with soap solution, and then dried. For the tape you need a dry and low-fat surface.

1. Carefully examine glasses. Wooden windows have cracks with cracks. They are subject to replacement, as they are a source of heat loss.

1. For sealing tapes are preparing grooves. They should not be the old tape, dirt and paint.

1. Before the start of work, it is determined with places from where the cold air from the street comes from. They are insulated first. Weak places are sash, slopes, windowsill.

Warming adhesive tape

Warming technology does not differ in great complexity. First of all, it is necessary to observe the sequence of work.

1. Plastic windows

Warming is performed in the following sequence:

• the previously shot old insulation is used, firstly, to purchase a similar material, secondly, for pre-cut in the size of the old material.

• sticking begins with the top of the window. As you progress, a protective layer is removed in small sections, and the tape is tightly pressed.

Read more in our video:

Important!

1. The glued ribbon should not have many gaps.

2. In the corners of the tape is not trimmed, but wraps.

1. Wooden windows

For these windows, besides adhesive tape, a thin foam rubber is often used. Works are performed in such a sequence:

• throwing strips are cut along the window outlet;

• the sliced \u200b\u200bfoam lamps are laid between the frames;

• the tape is cut down in size;

• the sticky layer of the tape is applied to the foam rubber and smoothed out with a napkin.

Such insulation will last up to three years. But it is better to do as shown in the video:

Warming of sealing ribbon

1. Plastic windows

Usually windows from plastic lose heat for two reasons:

• breakdown fittings;
• worn sealing.

Proper tape installation increases the insulating capacity of the window. This sequence of work is recommended:

• before installing the tape is withstanding at a positive temperature, as it depends on its expansion inside the groove;

• the tape is cut in the size of the window. The joints of the joints are cut off at right angles. The temperature expansion creates a stock: for each meter 1 centimeter of material;

• the tape spatula is pressed into the groove, and at the same time, gluing stripes are removed in small sections.

Important!

1. Only jack is connected in the ribbon frame angles.

2. In order not to be impregnated, the tape does not compress more permissible value.

After mounting the sealing ribbon, the locking mechanism is adjusted: the clamp changes the axes, which are located in the end of the sash.

Adjustment is made by a hex key. The clamp increases when the Hand of the Hand is set in a horizontal position.

1. Wooden windows

The Swedish method of insulation of such windows using Eurostrip technology is very much in demand. It has the following advantages:

• there is no need for annual insulation of windows;

• after conducting, the tightness of the windows is not disturbed;

• rams life increases;

• high degree of protection against dust and street noise.

For insulation, two types of tapes are used: rubber and silicone.

By the way, the proprietary Swedish silicone seals are easily inserted into the groove and serve until 20 years.

Installation is performed in such a sequence:

• folds are removed from the loops and inspect. Revealed plots, and then restored;

So, both types of tapes for insulation of windows deserve attention. Which one depends better on the state of the window.

If you choose correctly, the insulation will quickly pay off, and the apartment will always be warm and cozy.
