According to the standards, the ebb must enter the side walls by at least 2 centimeters. To do this, use a thin screwdriver or drill to carefully knock out even holes at the level of the future surface.
Even if the product was made strictly according to the specified technical parameters, a situation may arise where it still does not fit into the grooves somewhere. To do this, it is necessary to eliminate all interfering errors with the help of a tool. It is advisable to start with the wall - carefully remove all construction debris from the work surface, knock down all protrusions, sweep away dust with a broom or brush. The window sill can be trimmed or wiped with a hacksaw for metal or sandpaper, respectively. The main thing is not to scratch the surface, and paint over all exposed metal with enamel of the corresponding shade.
After both the surface and the ebb are ready, you can belarus mobile database directly to installation. The wall to which the ebb will be attached needs to be slightly moistened with water. It is much easier to glue the mounting foam to a wet surface - and it will be the main fixing agent. The window sill is carefully inserted into the prepared grooves - on the sides these will be punched strips, and on the window side - a niche specially created for the ebb. The gaps should be minimal, the window sill should not move in them, but you do not need to rub it in either, because this will damage the enamel surface.


The angle of inclination is set - it should be directed away from the wall so that moisture drains directly to the ground. The horizontal inclination is measured using a building level. The inclination in all directions is regulated by plastic plates that move along the work surface depending on the desired result. The inclination should be such that the exposed window sill can be pressed down with bricks wrapped in a rag. This will allow it to be securely fixed when the mounting foam expands.
After the ebb is installed and secured, the cavity underneath is carefully filled with foam – this will both glue the slope and insulate the window opening from moisture and drafts.
After the casting has stood for several days, the bricks are removed and all the seams around are rubbed and puttied. After all the work is completed, the casting is completely ready for use.
The quality of installation of the ebbs should be as high as possible, as the integrity of the facade depends on them. It is necessary to use high-quality building materials when making external window sills, as well as carefully prepare the work surface and install them correctly.
