This material will only get in the way as you install the new uPVC frame. Part 2. Purchase a uPVC frame slightly smaller than the wall opening. You can find high-quality uPVC windows at any window and door supply shop or at most home-improvement stores.
Make sure that the window you buy is 10 millimetres 0. The appropriate width of uPVC window frame would be 1, millimetres 48 in. The extra space on the sides of the window frame so the window can expand and contract as it heats up and cools down during the day.
Fit the sill endcaps to the new frame using super glue. The sill endcaps are small pieces of plastic, each roughly 4 inches 10 cm long, that cap off the lower edges of the uPVC sills which, at this point, are separate from the frame. Drizzle a line of superglue around the outer edges of the sill endcaps. Then, insert them into the openings at the lower left and right corners of the sill. If water got in, it could freeze and break the entire frame open. Screw the sill into the bottom of the uPVC frame.
The window frame will have come with PVC screws that are designed to hold pieces of the rigid plastic together. The sill will have holes in it where you should insert the screws.
Place the screws in the holes and line the sill up with the bottom of the window frame. Then, use your electric screwdriver to tighten the screws in place and attach the sill to the frame. Seal the ends of the window sill with silicone caulk. To prevent water from getting into the sill and window frame, run a line of silicone caulk around the open areas around where the frame meets the sill.
Also run silicone caulk on the small openings around where the sill endcaps meet the sill. Part 3. Hoist the new frame into the wall opening and check its level. With another person to help you, lift the uPVC window frame up into the opening in your wall.
If the packers stick out past the edge of the frame, break them off with a chisel. Measure and drill fixing holes into the sides of the frame. On the left and right sides of the frame, use your tape measure to measure 15 centimetres 5. Mark the spots with a pencil.
On the top and bottom of the window frame, measure in 60 centimetres 24 in from the right and left sides, and mark these spots as well. Use your electric drill to make pilot holes over the pencil markings. Squeeze a bead of silicone into the 2 holes on the bottom of the frame. Before inserting fixing screws, run a pea-sized bead of silicone over both holes on the lower side of the frame.
This will seal them against water and prevent any condensation or other moisture from entering the bottom of the frame. Drill the fixing screws through the frame and into the wall. Your uPVC window will have come with fixing screws that are used to anchor it into the wall.
Use your electric drill and a Philips head bit to drive the 8 fixing screws through the frame. Part 4. Snap glazing platforms into the inside edges of the sashes. The glazing platforms go into the glass-holding panels before you insert the glass itself.
As you can see from the INTU picture above you will need one blind per pane of glass, whereas a Vertical Blind or roller blinds will cover the whole window with just one blind. The Perfect Fit system is something most blind makers can make themselves which is why it is more popular with blind companies.
Put very simply it is either a Pleated or a Venetian blind fitted in a frame similar in looks to a picture frame. The INTU system does not have a frame, instead it has a rail at the top. Very thin aluminium strips at the sides with nothing at the bottom other than the rail that runs from the top of the blind to the bottom. The INTU system is not as popular with our trade due to the cost of setting up to manufacture the blinds. So the INTU blinds are only made by companies who supply the trade and not by smaller manufacturers like ourselves.
So they do have a higher price when compared to Perfect Fit. The INTU system was designed from scratch to do one job, integrate into your windows. The Perfect Fit Venetian still uses the twist wand to tilt the slats. I hope this has given you an insight into the 2 different systems available. I would recommend visiting your local blind showrooms to see the blinds for yourself.
