Those who have already faced the replacement of windows can talk about the "outrages" that are happening in the apartment during installation. According to the advertisements, it takes hours to replace windows. How long can it really take to install one window? Let's take a few of the most common situations.

So, situation 1.

Renovated apartment

Standard 3-room apartment in an ordinary panel house of recent construction. Buying housing, which (as has become fashionable recently) is initially not suitable for life (bare concrete walls and ceilings, without plumbing and even primitive sockets), the owner plans in advance for repairs and, most likely, includes the replacement of windows in the expense item. Since today we are talking about editing, we will omit possible delays and troubles in the stages prior to editing, we will simply assume that everything went smoothly and smoothly. The windows are delivered to the site, the assembly team arrives at the agreed time, and the process begins. As a rule, the windows are changed at the first stages of the repair, when the dirtiest and wettest works are underway. (It makes sense to talk separately about the most appropriate time for replacing windows during the repair period) Nothing in the apartment interferes with the installers,it is possible to carry out dismantling work without fear for property, which takes 30 percent of the time of installing a new window. Also, at such a facility, there are no problems with garbage removal and disposal, local builders will do everything themselves. We can say that all conditions have been created for carrying out work quickly and efficiently. So it is, the installation of a plastic window with dismantling work can take from an hour to two, depending on the configuration of the window, the qualifications of specialists, the availability of an installation kit and other trifles. Probably, it is worth mentioning right away about the installation using illbrook technology - in this case, the installation time will increase by 10-15 minutes. If you expect that a standard 3-room apartment has 4 windows and 1 balcony door, then it is quite possible to complete the installation in 1 working day.occupying 30 percent of the time of installing a new window.

Illbrook technology in simple terms

How is conventional installation different from Illbrook installation? A small amount of labor on the part of installers and a waste of money on the part of the heads of these installers on the material.

The sequence of work during normal installation: dismantling the old window, preparing the new window for installation (drilling holes, installing fasteners for mosquito nets and other work), installing the window in the opening, aligning and fastening, and finally foaming, after which someone in good faith from the street he smears the seam of the window-to-wall junction with silicone, installs the ebb - and the installation is complete. What changes with illbrook editing? The dismantling of the old window remains, but the preparation of a new window for installation is a little delayed: from the outside, at the junction of the window with a quarter, the window is pasted over with a self-expanding tape, from the inside, foil-coated butyl tape is glued, which will then cover the foam. Further, everything is as usual: installation in the opening, leveling, foaming and finishing the seam with tape. Everything is quite simple, the installation time increases slightly - 10-15 minutes for each window. But how necessary it is to use illbrook technology, how much it justifies itself, I think it is worth discussing in the next issues.

Situation 2.

Residential apartment

And now - exactly the same 3-room apartment, but one floor higher. Its owner did not change the windows during the renovation and now, looking at his neighbor from below, also fired up the idea of a new and better one. One nuance: the customer lives in this apartment, furnished according to the latest words of a super-fashionable designer. What will happen to the editing team in such a situation? Complicated approach to each window; floors to fly over; furniture, whose facade is several times higher than the installer's salary. Again, there is a big problem with the disposal of construction waste, which is inevitable during installation work. It is very rare for a company to “liquidate” material evidence of a broken opening. Technically, the installation will take exactly the same amount of time as in the first situation. But a residential apartment makes its own adjustments: first you need to cover here,move there, remove here and at the same time make sure not to scratch, hook, drop, etc. etc. - in general, replacement of all windows in such an apartment will take from 1.5 to 3 days. Illbrook editing has no effect on speed or time.

Situation 3.

Residential building construction

Today, every new house is necessarily equipped with sealed windows of the latest generation, be it wooden or plastic, but they are installed most often by "specialists" of the construction site. Here is where to turn around. You can hold a competition to raise windows to the n-th floor manually, run up stairs with a tool, and the number of installed windows per hour. In my opinion, the way windows are installed on a construction site cannot be called normal work. People who install windows are familiar with the subject only by hearsay, the recruitment of these "specialists" is carried out, in my opinion, at train stations. Installation speed, of course, is amazing: 20-30 standard designs per shift, but the quality leaves much to be desired. It is a pity for the tenants' money, who, entering such houses, throw out the windows damaged by the builders and, most importantly, the installers. Windows can, of course,and do not change. But, firstly, the tenant keeps the structures for himself, assembled in the same rush, in which they were installed. Secondly, the dubious appearance - restoration will not be much cheaper than replacement. Thirdly, the configuration of the window with a large number of blind parts is also not particularly pleasing. And finally, for service you will have to contact a company that you still need to find.

Situation 4.

Cottage construction

The picture is very similar to the first and third, it differs only in the number and quality of windows. No, there are probably many differences - here are some of the principal ones. First of all, the prestige of the object obliges to do the job well and quickly. All conditions for high-quality and quick installation have been created: free openings, complete absence of dismantling works, the work schedule is almost round-the-clock (if the house is not being built in a ready-made and residential community). What else does it take to get it done quickly? In many ways - it's all about the human factor. High speed without loss of quality depends on who works at the facility. The glazing of a small Russian bungalow, with a total area of all window and door structures of about 50 m2, will take from 2-3 days to 1-1.5 weeks. Here, factors such as the remoteness of the object, convenient access roads,availability of electricity. Own vehicles also speed up work.

Situation 5.

Total - flew

Regardless of the object, its complexity and prestige, irrespective of the shape, configuration and size of the window, big and small problems can happen - every company has gone through this, and a company that does not know how to adequately get out of such situations is bad. The window does not fit a little into the opening, or, on the contrary, falls slightly, just a little, just a little. All these "a little" and "the smallest" will require resourcefulness during installation and a savvy installer. The time spent on scratching the pumpkin and stimulating ingenuity, each installer model has its own, individual …

Well, we examined the most typical "installation" situations, estimated the timing of work in each of the cases. Now let's make an allowance for the fact that the entire calculation was carried out for the warm season. With the onset of winter, the time indicator will change accordingly. In the first and second cases (when installing in a "repaired" and "residential" apartment), you can expect an acceleration of the process: to close the heating circuit, the installers will rush. In the third and fourth - the installation time will be stretched: warm clothes limit movement, short daylight hours, work in the cold - do not increase the speed.

What else can affect the installation time?

First of all, the presence of a good tool in a complete set. It does not matter what brand the power tool is and what company is manual, the main thing is that everything is suitable for work. The rule to use: "Let it be and not be useful than it will not be when you need it"

Но хороший инструмент будет лежать мертвым грузом, если нет расходных материалов: анкерные пластины, оконные анкера, монтажная пена, силикон и многое другое (монтаж по технологии иллбрук увеличивает список расходных материалов вдвое). Позаботится нужно об этом заранее. Но самый главный участник процесса, от которого зависит и скорость, и качество, – монтажник. Готовьте грамотных специалистов, отбирайте людей как можно жестче - тогда, может быть, сама культура монтажных работ поднимется, и не так уж важно будет, сколько времени потратил установщик на замену одного окна. Если подготовленный вами монтажник работает медленно, но качественно и надежно, проявляя интерес к тому, что он делает, выручая, казалось бы, в безвыходных ситуациях, он гораздо лучше монтажника, смонтировавшего окно за 15 минут и потратившего затем весь день на переделку своего «творчества». Из своей практики могу вспомнить много разных случаев нестандартного монтажа, сколько бы времени это ни занимало, всегда все зависело только от людей. Научить пользоваться перфоратором и одеть в красивую спецовку можно и обезьяну, но научить думать, оказывается, нельзя даже человека. Довольно много неразумных индивидов устанавливает окна, делая работу механически, упуская из вида предмет своего труда. Так что не так важно количество времени, затраченное на установку, беспокоиться нужно о том, как качественно это будет сделано.
