Cashbar window carved. Wooden platbands: Step-by-step instructions for the selection and installation with your own hands (90 photos and video). Tools necessary for the manufacture of carved platbands

Finishing windows by platbands is an ancient practice. Wood carving - at one time, was one of the most sought-after professions, and now passed into the category of applied art.

Our ancestors believed that unclean power could penetrate the house through window and doorways. Therefore, the platband served not only by a decorative element, but also a faucet, and each applied ornament and pattern on a carved platband carried a certain message. Moreover, each region had its own traditions.


The value of carved elements on platbands is interesting

  • Wings emphasize power.
  • Bird is an element connecting all times.
  • The sun personifies life and energy (as a rule, is located on Kokoshnik).
  • Snake symbolizes wisdom and fertility.
  • The cross demonstrates the desire of the hosts to harmony between the material and spiritual.
  • Vegetation shows a sense of unity with nature.
  • Series testify to the hospitality of the hosts of the house.

Wooden platbands are rarely found in cities with multi-storey buildings. But in private construction, they are recently demanded today, making modern houses with more stylish and unique. He emphasize the desire of many to revive traditions in the decor.

Today, the window platbands perform a completely different function and are manufactured not only from wood. Combines made of metal, plastic (PVC), plywood, laminated MDF. As for the latter, platbands from MDF or plywood are not intended to external windows framing, only for internal design of door and window openings.

It should be noted that the correct name of the external decorative framework of windows is cash. The platband is installed indoors.

Functional Purpose of Window Put

Benefits

  • decorating window openings. For example, a platband can visually pull out a low house, or expand narrow;
  • the ability to express your individuality or give home the style of a certain era or region;
  • emphasize the style of the house and allow you to combine all the buildings on the plot into a single architectural ensemble;
  • protection of the slots between the window and the wall from dust and moisture;
  • reducing the heat loss in the place of the junction of the window frame and the wall;
  • reduction of external noise;
  • sometimes they are the only possible option for design. For example, platbands on the windows of a wooden house or log cabin can only be wooden. Otherwise, the entire flavor of such a structure will be lost.

disadvantages

Wooden, especially carved platband has a number of minuses, or rather features:

  • dependence on atmospheric influences. Frequent temperature differences, moisture, ultraviolet, all these factors are damaged by platform;
  • dependence on high-quality processing. The right choice of rock, careful impregnation of wood, timely replacement of parts, and painting, all this is capable of extending the life of the product. Otherwise, a wooden platband will soon be unusable;
  • combination complexity with modern plastic windows. Wooden platbands on plastic windows are not always suitable.

Quite often there are plastic windows framed by wooden platbands, as shown in the photo above. Somewhat unsuccessful, controversial solution. In such cases, you need to either install wooden double-glazed windows (or windows laminated under the tree), or paint the platform in white.

More harmonious finish - in the photo below.

Types and types of platbands on the windows

The manufacture of platbands on the window depends on the type and method of installing the platband.

Mix simple plates on the windows are flat and standard. More beautiful, manufactured on special equipment. The most beautiful platbands on the windows are, of course, carved.

On the method of manufacturing and the cost of the platband affects the method of their installation:

  • telescopic. More will be changed in the frame of the doorways. Special M-shaped protrusions of such a platband come in the boxes of the box. Such a connection is more complicated, but beautiful;
  • overhead. Mixed to the window frame with nails or special glue.

It is worth noting that the platbands are distinguished by a wide variety and are often complemented by shutters.

How to make platbands on the windows - the choice of material

1. Breed of wood

For the manufacture of a platband, it is better to use such wood as beech, oak, birch, linden, alder, pine, nut or even fruit trees.

The impact on the choice of breed will have an estimated method of making a platband.

  • Cashbar made of hardening rocks (beech, oak, ash) are very reliable, but such material is very solid. To cut the pattern on them, you need to make a lot of effort and spend a lot of time.
  • Systems of soft breeds (linden, alder, aspen). Soft wood material, work with it is a pleasure. But they, if improper processing, absorb moisture and quickly come into disrepair.
  • The optimal version is wood deciduous (birch) or coniferous rocks (pine). Sufficiently solid to operate outside, they make it possible to perform neat cuts.
  • Cherry or apple tree is used to perform small jewelry, which are superimposed on the main pattern.

2. Patterns for platbands on the windows - drawings and patterns

If it is assumed to decorative decoration by carvings, you need to decide on the pattern. Depending on the skills, you can choose a lightweight or very complex ornament for platbands. Below are some drawings of carved platforms on the windows. Templates can be copied in whole or in part, introducing something from yourself to the pattern.

Sketches with interesting ornaments and patterns are made on a separate page, going to which you can
.
It also describes how to make stencils for making templates with your own hands.

It is desirable that all the windows are decorated with the same platbands with the same thread. Therefore, choosing a pattern, keep in mind that it will need to repeat several times. He should not be too fried. Especially if you are a novice. It is better if your pattern will contain round holes (they can easily drill them) and large elements. It is worth noting that small elements are not only complex in the manufacture, but also faster than others come into disrepair. Therefore, they will require periodic replacement.

Another important point is the mandatory presence of a slope at the top of the platband. Otherwise, the snow will accumulate on the surface of the tree, which will inevitably lead to its destruction. A slope of several degrees to perform easily, it will divert water down.

3. Tool

  • hacksaw;
  • knives;
  • chisels of several species (priperase, corners, flat, curved, semicircular, caesaric);
  • grinding paper;
  • electrolovik;
  • drill;
  • milling machine (if available)

4. Patterns for platbands - stencils and sketches

To the pattern was the same on all windows, it is recommended to make a sketch or stencil.

Place the drawing on the workpiece is needed correctly. Elements should be located along wood fibers. This will prevent the cracking of the thread.

Sections of the pattern, where you need to perform slots can be marked with color.

5. Production of carved platbands on the windows

There are two ways to make a wood thread:

  • short wood carving. The pattern is cut through the entire platband and it, like lace, beautifully and sacrificely framed the window opening.

  • overhead carving on wood. This method is much easier for the fact that a more subtle billet is used to work, work with which is easier. With an overhead method, separate elements of the thread are created, which are then folded together on a solid board. Thus, it is possible to reflect simple plates on the windows.

The beauty of the openwork platband on the window is to use contrast. More often occurs a lighter carved element on a dark background.

Wooden platbands on windows with their own hands - instructions

  • from the windows remove the measurements;
  • all works are performed on a dry lumber. The height and width of the board depends on your preferences, but the thickness must be at least 30 mm for the rubber thread and at least 10 mm for the invoice;
  • billets are cut;
  • with the inside of the platband, to a depth of 1-2 mm. Selects wood. Along the edges leave edges. Such an approach will provide a more dense fit of the platband to the frame;
  • cut the pattern applied by template. At the same time, the holes can be drilled by the drills of different diameters, and the slits to perform the jigsaw. Lobzik input location is denoted by a drilled hole. So cut will be more beautiful;
  • the slots and holes are processed by grinding paper. If there are no non-core holes in the pattern, then it is necessary to remove wood dust. This is done using a vacuum cleaner.

6. Fastening of carved elements

Details made by overhead carvings are attached to a wide base of the trunk on nails. It is desirable that the nails are without hats. A more reliable compound can be ensured if you apply glue to the pattern from the wrong side. Wizards advise not to use self-tapping screws to connect not to damage the connection location.

7. Installation of platbands on the windows

A little creating a beautiful product. You still need to know how to install platbands on the windows correctly.

The correct installation of plaque on the window is the key to their long-term operation and aesthetic appearance. For attachment, you can use the following ways:

  • deaf spike. Such spikes are installed in the platband, and the holes are drilled in the frame. A little glue is applied on the spike and start in the groove. This fastening is the most difficult, but protects the place of installation from moisture ingress and does not spoil the appearance of the product;
  • through spike. A simpler and less reliable way. This spike system and ensures the mount. But, the spike needs to be installed where it will be less noticeable and additionally defend from moisture.

Listed methods are used if the installation of platbands on wooden windows is made.

In the event that the installation of plastic windows is required, a special adhesive (liquid nails) is used. This method will allow not to disturb the integrity of the frame.

So that the carved platband pleased you as long as possible, you need to take care of its processing. For this, wood is soaked, covered with varnish or color.

Outcome

The desire to follow the traditions of the ancestors is commended. The revival of carved art is not possible in the conditions of modern urbanization. A special color of Russian thread will not lose its relevance. Applying some efforts, you can make carved wooden platbands with your own hands. Yes, the work is complicated and painstaking, but it is worth it. Plus, you can save a decent amount, because if ordering the manufacture of a set of carved platforms on one window in the workshop, it will cost 5-15 thousand rubles.

Carved wooden platbands on the windows - photos with examples

Carved wooden platbands on the windows - 2 windows

Tubes on the windows created by their own hands, a wonderful decoration of the facade of the house (ready-made stencils and templates will be shown in the article below). They make the house not similar to any other, visually change its proportions.

Today, possessing certain skills, you can independently create elegant platbands on the windows in a wooden structure. Moreover, they can be manufactured not only from wood, but also from other materials.

When the owner decides to mount the platbands, he seeks to arrange a traditional decor in his possessions.

Tubes have such advantages:

  1. Excellent decorative function. So visually builds the construction.
  2. Supplementing the aggregate style of architectural design.
  3. The defense of the space between the opening of the window and the wall plane from moisture and dust is created.
  4. Thermal loss and noise level are reduced.
  5. Individual features of the house and the style of the chosen era are highlighted.

Calcarions and shortcomings:

  1. Wood needs a certain processing from high humidity and deformation.
  2. Products need regular care and processing.
  3. They are not harmonized with metal-plastic windows. In this case, the platbands are made in one color scheme.

Independent creation templates

Today there are many types. Their types are defined by the way they are installed to the window. There are two varieties for this criterion:

  1. Telescopic. Their specifics: M-like protrusions, coinciding with the grooves of the window box.
  2. Overhead. Installation occurs on the window frame. Fasteners - construction glue or nails with screws.

An exquisite solution is the installation of carvings. You can independently implement such ideas only if there are special equipment.

Popular Materials

  1. The most common material for platbands is wood. Its products from it have elegant and harmonious appearance.
  2. Frequently involved and plastic versions. They are characterized by powerful resistance to temperature differences and ultraviolet. Plastic options are sold already in the finished form.
  3. Another popular material is MDF. It is preparing from wood waste. It is more environmentally friendly than plastic. In addition, it is characterized by an appearance that resembles natural wood.
  4. Polyurethane. Variations from it are distinguished by high practicality. From this material often make facade stucco.

Nuances of the right choice of wood

As already noted, the tree is the most popular material for platbands. And the operational characteristics of wooden platbands depends on the variety of wood used.

Here you usually pay attention to such options.

  1. Solid deciduous. Such varieties include ash, oak and beech. They are very durable. But they are quite problematic to create patterns.
  2. Soft deciduous. This is: Lipa, Aspen and Alder. They are easier to handle. On their surface, the patterns are worked even manually. And such surfaces are thoroughly processed by special means.
  3. Cherry and apple tree. They are optimal for the creation of small components that can be attached to the base.
  4. Pine and birch. They are also easy to handle. And they have excellent performance.
  5. Various combinations of varieties of wood. Application here special protective compositions for powerful impregnation is required.

With the help of high quality wood, it turns out a beautiful original design of the window opening.

Nuances of creating templates with their efforts

The basis of the work comes down to creating stencils and design.

Independent printout stencils - it's quite sat for everyone. It is important to achieve a combination of the selected ornament with the whole style. Mixing geometric and plant patterns is not allowed.

At work on platbands, the following subtleties are taken into account:

  1. There must be harmony of the color palette of walls and decorative elements.
  2. Be sure to correctly select the appropriate parameter. Tubes should not be obtained very wide or small.
  3. The high-quality version of the coating is selected. Special paints are used.
  4. A template is needed for the manufacture of outdoor carved components.
  5. On the workpiece is correctly located drawing. Details are followed along wood fibers.

When it is possible to achieve a color combination of platbands and wall planes, a holistic and harmonious facade is obtained.

Stage of manufacture

Before creating a window decor in photos, carved platbands are selected. You need to make a template in advance. It should be the same for the work of all openings.

Typically, such methods of creating patterns are used:

  1. Overhead thread. It has isolated pattern elements. They are joined by one basis.

Installation of overhead components should be based on the patterned pattern.

  1. Rubber thread. Here are made through ornament. He externally resembles wood lace.

For all methods of work, the presence of stencils is required. So they look:

In the work, it is necessary to have such a toolkit:

  1. Lobzik.
  2. Hoven (oriented for wood).
  3. Knives and chisels.
  4. Drill.
  5. Milling machinery

Print must be created from the prepared materials. Work stages are as follows:

  1. Scrupulous measurements are carried out.
  2. The selected tree should be dry. If it is wet or wet, it is necessarily brought to dry condition. The width of the boards is determined by the parameters of the window passage. In the thickness, the material reaches at least 3 cm if the rubber thread is performed, and at least 1 cm when the overhead thread is carried out.

All billets are pre-processed by the protective composition. Their clipping is using templates. A clipping ornaments passes using jigsaw. This tool is better to use different types of pylons.

For operation, electric jigsaw needs certain skills and special accuracy. Created holes must be lost. Excellent means for this - sandpaper. After a powerful grinding, the part is processed by specially impregnated.

Next takes place all prepared parts for the base. Here you need to use glue or special nails. In such a work, it is better to abandon the use of self-use. They will cause crashing products.

Montaja specifics

The created platband can be attached to the desired position by such methods:

  1. On a deaf spike. The installation of such details goes on the inside. Especially for them should be made in the hole frame. On the spike is applied and distributed evenly glue. The spike is introduced into the groove. Such a fastening casts platbands from dust and humidity.
  2. Using through spikes. The butt plot here is thoroughly treated with varnish.

These techniques are justified when working with a wooden window. For connecting to metal plastic, a special powerful liquid glue is involved.

Required care

The plated platbands need constant attention and care. For processing, special preparations are used - powerful impregnations. They create high-quality protection from:

  • wood pests;
  • the appearance of cracks;
  • sudden fire.

Carved options are necessarily covered with primer, then varnish or paint. The intensity of such treatments is 1 time in 3-5 years. So there will be a seriously developed operational term of products, and at the same time their attractive appearance will continue.

When installing plastic or metal products, some careful care is not needed. For products it is necessary to arrange high-quality corrosion protection. It also requires periodic paint updating.

Thus, to independently make platnacks of extraordinary beauty with elegant patterns are very possible. Certain joiner, carpenter and tools are needed. So you are a very original way to decorate window openings and make an elegant highlight to the selected architectural stylist.

Carved platbands on the windows: templates, photo

Starus architecture is invariably associated with carved platbands on the windows. A similar form of design of houses is distinguished by a species manifold. A few decades ago, masters have lived in each region, possessing the own style of creating decorative elements. Today's return to the origins is accompanied by revival of interest in finishing windows using carved platforms.

Purpose of framing

The word "platband" speaks about its location - "on the face", that is, one of its functions is to decorate the facade of the building. Therefore, people tried to express their individuality through it and decorate the windows with a carved framing. In addition to the decorative role, the windows on the windows, first of all, perform a constructive function, closing the gap between the frame and the opening. This prevents penetration into the house of dust, protects against precipitation, drafts and extraneous sounds.

Magic properties were also attributed to carved platbands. It was believed that the framing of the window of a certain form of a plank protects against the evil eye and serves as a peculiar guard. Therefore, in the bizarre patterns, various figures and plants weighing a specific semantic load were viewed.

In modern architecture, the functional purpose of platbands for windows is as follows:

  • Competently selected carved decoration allows you to visually pull out a low structure or expand a narrow wall.
  • The ability to manifest individuality and issue a building in accordance with the treason of a certain era.
  • Allows you to achieve a single architectural ensemble between all buildings on the site.
  • Protection of slots from the penetration of external negative factors (precipitation, noise, dust).
  • It is one of the elements of the heat shield of the house.

Carved finish, especially made of wood, has a number of features that should be taken into account during operation:

  • Dependence on the influence of atmospheric factors. Moisture and temperature differences are invariably damage to decorative design.
  • When selecting the framed, the properties of the rock should be taken into account from which platbands are made and take care of quality processing. Timely preventive activities prolong the service life for the window.
  • Often, difficulties arise when combining wooden carved elements with modern plastic frames. With this combination, it is preferable to install windows that imitate the wooden texture.

The value of carved elements

The desire to comply with the ancient traditions requires knowledge of the meaning of various elements of carved platbands:

  • The sun is usually placed on Kokoshnik. It symbolizes life and energy.
  • The personification of wisdom and fertility is concluded in the image of the snake.
  • The symbol of harmony between spiritual and material desire is the cross in the carved platband.
  • The feeling of unity with nature is emphasized through vegetation.
  • On the hospitality of the owners of the house are evidenced by earrings.
  • Connecting elements of all times is the silhouette of a bird on the window.

Characteristics of materials and forms

Natural and artificial materials are used to produce platbands on the windows. Traditionally carved elements were made of wood, resistant to atmospheric factors. The characteristic of the properties of individual breeds will help determine the most suitable view:

  • Larch is minimally susceptible to rotting processes, but is not suitable for the production of carved framing due to its fragility.
  • Aspen, alder and linden - most convenient breeds for creating an open-air decor on the windows. However, piercing and soft wood of carved platbands need special processing due to the ability to absorb moisture well.
  • Tubes for windows from oak, ash or beech is characterized by resistance to negative atmospheric influences, but the processing of carved elements is burdened by difficulties, overcoming which you will receive a durable decor.
  • A good choice will be birch or pine wood, allowing you to perform a neat carved decor. At the same time, the platbands have sufficient strength for external exploitation.
  • Small carved window decorations that are fixed on the main elements can be made of cherry or apple tree.

What other materials are used in the production of linings on the windows and what are their features, consider below:

  • Laminated MDF allows you to accurately simulate the color of any tree of wood, but is intended exclusively for internal use.
  • Plastic windows are harmoniously combined with platbands from a similar material (PVC), which is not subject to rotting, has a wide color palette resistant to solar radiation. The color of the platbands is selected taking into account the finishing of the house in the tone or contrasts with the facade.
  • For the windows of the round form, polyurethane products are ideal, characterized by ease and unpretentiousness in care.
  • Metal planks are fixed in order to protect the mounting seam, connecting them into a single whole with a profile box.

There are two main ways to install platbands:

  • The invoice is the most common method when designing windows. For fixing, special glue or nails are applied.
  • The telescopic method involves a M-shaped platband manufacturing, allowing the product to enjoy the product by entering the grooves of the box. It is often used to finish door openings. Its characteristic difference is the lack of traces of fasteners.

Templates and threads

The carved forms of platbands give the window of individuality, but in order to make them, templates will necessarily need. The presence of wood thread skills allows you to choose a complex ornament. If the skills work with the tree is not enough, it is better to find a light pattern for platbands on the windows. We suggest learning:

  • variants of patterns of single elements and their general view;
  • top, bottom and lateral details of decoration.

They can be copied completely or supplement the pattern with their details. Having liked drawing of a carved platband or its fragment must be enlarged on a scale taking into account the size of your window. For the manufacture of carved templates, dvp, dense cardboard or paper apply. It is advisable to draw up windows with platbands with the same thread. Please note that it is much more complicated to make small carved elements, but they come into disrepair faster than others. In this case, a partial replacement of the frame will be required.

The top of the platband on the window is called Kokoshnik, the bottom is a towel. Contours of plants, animal images and geometric shapes obtained the greatest distribution in the ornament of carved coats.

Key details of the drawing for any platband on the window are:

  • lower planka or bottomroom lounge;
  • vertical rail;
  • top plank.

The scheme may also contain all sorts of shoulders, van supplies or to diadem. A detailed description of the names of the carved decor elements is presented in the diagram below:

If your windows have a different size, experts advise to make a drawing with an intermediate rapport repeating the required number of times. For the Rapport you can choose one or two elements repeated alternately. An example of such a scheme is shown in the photo below:

Make a wooden carved framing on the windows in several ways:

  • The greatest decorativeness and squint are characterized by slotted platbands. The product is performed from a tree of light tones or subjected to a subsequent coating of white paint. This window design on a darker wall looks sophisticated and exquisite, remotely reminding Vologda lace.
  • With overhead thread, separately cut parts are fixed on a solid board by gluing or navigation. This technique allows you to make a window with a simple platband. The protruding elements often cover contrast paint.

Sometimes both types of thread are combined.

Manufacturing process

Deciding with the pattern, material, type of thread and the method of fastening the platbands, can be directly processed to the manufacture of a carved frame on the windows.

Pattern places where it is necessary to make slits, it is better to mark with color. Work on the manufacture of platbands consists of the following steps:

  • Removing the measure from the window.
  • For the slit thread, the boards with a minimum thickness of 30 mm are selected, the consignment method allows the use of a thickness of 10 mm thick. All work is made with a dry lumber.
  • Cut blanks.
  • For dense fitting of a carved platband with an inside, wood is chosen on a slight depth (1-2 mm).
  • The pattern applied with the use of the template is cut. For the formation of the holes, drills of various diameters are used, the jigscription will be needed to perform a slot. To arrange a beautiful cut, the jigsaw entry point is observed by the resulting hole.
  • All carved elements of the windows are cleaned with grinding paper. From non-split holes, wood dust is removed using a vacuum cleaner.

The overhead carving provides for the fastening of the finished elements to a wide platband on nails with remote hats. Enhance the strength of the compound will allow the glue from the wrong side of the pen. Apply the screws are not recommended due to the danger of damage to the carved section of the compound.

Carved platbands are installed on wooden windows using deaf or cross-cutting spikes. The first option is distinguished by a reliable compound and a complex installation process. The second way is simpler, but less reliable. The installation of carved elements on the plastic window is carried out using liquid nails.

Preliminary protective processing of carved platforms and regular preventive care will provide long-term preservation of an attractive appearance of the window.

Stencils for platbands on the windows. How to make carved platbands?

Tubes on the windows, despite their simplicity, are of great importance in the decorative design of the facade of the house. They not only create a neat look and make an element of the individuality of the structure, but also perform a more prosaic task to eliminate the slot between the wall and the window box. In addition, platbands must withstand the influence of weather factors without losing their qualities.

Function of window trim and a bit of history

The platband is first mentioned as an element of the house back in the 15th century. Now the platbands have somewhat lost the relevance, but still the function of them is unchanged, regardless of the material of the building and its finishes. Due to the constructive features of the windows of the houses of large floors and in cases of glazing, their presence is inappropriate.

Putnies appeared many years ago

Simplified platband is a wooden frame having a width of 30-40 mm that framed the window.

The aesthetic function of this part is important, but the main task is to overlap the gap, which forms a window box and a wall, which increases the thermal insulation and protects against the penetration of dust and moisture from the external atmosphere, and also reduces the noise level. In some cases, if you have shutters, it is performed by the frame function.

Types and types of platbands for windows

Their form can be:

Characterized by the simplicity of production and not a high cost of plane fed. Convex trimming is made using special machines and, in this regard, the price of products is significantly increased. Carved platbands have greater aesthetic value and significant cost.

By the installation method, platbands are classified:

  • telescopic. They have special protrusions that are set in the appropriate box cavities;
  • overhead.

An important factor when choosing a profile of this element of the window is a bias that is performed at the top of the platband. His appointment is to remove precipitation.

Modern materials and requirements for elements of houses have determined the trends in the requests of homeowners. The leaders in popularity are carved platbands made from plastics.

Requirements for substrate material

In addition to high aesthetic qualities, the platband must meet the practical requirements. Its important qualities is the ability to withstand temperature fluctuations and increased humidity. In addition, the material must resist wind load.

It is important that the material has sufficient strength and has not been pronounced in painting and cracking. On the use of MDF or plywood can not be speech. The properties of these materials are such that they are able to absorb moisture, prone to cracking, the paint on them is listed over time. All this is a sign of the briefness of products from these materials.

In this regard, the MDF as a substrate material can only be used inside the housing. The manufacturability of the material causes simplicity and relatively low cost. In addition, it takes a lot of time to get ready-made cases. Such plaque on the facade will require continuous care and additional processing.

From the tree, the platbands were made from our ancestors for many centuries. Oak and Beech are the most common wood breeds used for this. Pine and birch found less use for the production of platbands. Wood tend to absorb moisture, so to increase the service life of the product and its appearance, it is necessary to use protective coatings. In addition, over time, the tree has a darkest property, so the restoration of the initial shade of the material is required.

When using plaster as a decorative facade element, also face the problem of interaction with moisture. When the water gypsum penetrated inside the water and thawing in the temperature of the temperature fluctuations, there are destroying of such architecture parts.

Certain requirements are presented to the materials.

The use of glass fiber concrete and polymer concrete makes it possible to avoid the negative effect of the effect of temperature and moisture. Limits their use of a significant mass of products. In some cases, when installing such platbands, increased loads on the wall take into account and make it more powerful.

Polyurethane is favorably different from other materials of platbands. This is due to the fact that its use does not allow the problems described above, as well as its characteristics allow you to create additional thermal insulation. In addition, the mass of it is comparable with the weight of wood, which facilitates the installation of these parts of the facade.

How to make stencils for platbands on the windows?

Choosing wood

Wood for the production of platbands can be applied in various versions. These can be defined types, combination of rocks by gluing or other connection.

Simple and shaped stencils for platbands on the windows is better made from pine.

Production of carved platbands requires the material to have soft. Such quality has Lipa. Requirements for the material is due to manual wood processing.

Wood choices need to be carefully

Climatic conditions associated with increased humidity or significant dryness, as well as significant temperature fluctuations during the day, determine the use of wood with a dense and solid structure. These include oak and birch. Handling them is difficult, so it is necessary to use milling machines. Such products have a long service life.

Required tools

Before solving the problem how to make carved platbands, you need to decide on the tool used for these works. The main tools for this are knives and chisels, various in shape and sizes.

Tools for work

For independent production of platbands, devices for manual milling, electrolovka, drill are used. Lobzik When performing such work, almost indispensable, since it can be created with almost any pattern. In some cases, a self-made device can be used, which includes a lowering transformer and nichronomic wire.

In addition, it may be necessary to make an inverting tool. To make such a device, it is necessary to fix between the three wood peeks of two hacksaw blades with a small tooth. When this device is working in one blade, spikes are peeled, and the other products are peashed.

How to choose patterned patterns?

The use of slotted thread techniques suggests that the aspen, alder, linden or coniferous rocks fit. The thickness of the board must be from 5 to 50 mm. It is necessary that the selected pattern of the pattern for the platband differ well at a distance, and act as a single integer architectural ensemble. Therefore, it is not desirable to create an image with a large number of small elements.

Options for casual skills

For a long time, at the top of the platband is Kokoshnik with the image of the sun. If desired, the top of the platband can be increasing, using for this as a spike connection. Towels - such a name received a bottom of the platband. The design must necessarily include the presence of a water-cutting bevel. The bottom plank must have a thickness of 10 mm larger than the bar located at the top of the bar. It is important to comply with the unity of the style of both parts.

In order to avoid cracks on the thread, the details should be placed along the fibers of wood. As a rule, the endings and openwork bends with a small thickness have significant fragility.

Design schemes

The simplest rubber can be obtained by drilling a round hole with a drill. That is why it is desirable to make a choice on a pattern with a predominance of round holes. In most cases, the ornament is made up of repeating elements, each of which is compiled from holes and cuts that have a more complex configuration.

Drawings of platbands on the windows contain the following items:

  • lower bar or profiled belt;
  • vertical rails or frame;
  • top bar.

Names details

To obtain a stencil, it is necessary to stretch the pattern in length. For this purpose, a natural amount of paper is applied. Places involving the presence of slits should be isolated by color. Then, the resulting pattern pastes on the workpiece. Using a drill, produce twisted holes corresponding to diameter. If necessary, the logs is needed, where it is necessary, small holes.

Making platbands on windows

It is necessary to consider the direction of opening the window. In the case when it is replete, the platband must be installed at a distance of 30 mm from the window sash. In addition, the platbands should not be an obstacle to the opening of the window frame. Other parameters are dependent on the geometric size of the windows.

At the initial stage of platbands, it is necessary to overtake the dry board, the dimensions of which are within: thickness up to 30 mm and width 75-150 mm. In this case, the width of the platbands must exceed the corresponding box size of 25-50 mm. For a better fit of the platbands to the wall surface, the groove is chosen or a clearance is not more than 2 mm in such a way that it is at a distance of 10-15 mm from the edge.

Working with power tools, should not make excessive efforts, as if helping him. This may lead to its failure. In the event of difficulties with cutting wood, you should pay attention to the sharpening of the web. Long propils are recommended to perform with a wide web.

How to make fixing carved platbands

The fastening of platband parts is carried out by means of deaf or cross-cutting spikes. Moreover, it is believed that the use of the first of them is preferable, since there is no need to decorate the places where the connection occurs.

The execution of grooves under the spikes is carried out by drilling several holes, the depth of which is slightly larger than the spike. Removing partitions between the holes is made by a drill intended for metal. The spike can be dense, however, without the use of force.

The spikes are fixed with brazings made of solid tres. Use glue is not desirable. This is due to the fact that adhesives are not capable of working for a long time under the influence of the aggressive atmosphere.

Installing platbands: Features

Installation of platbands is performed without the use of glue using nails. They are driven with a step of 400-500 mm so that the hat is recessed into the wood. Most often, platbands are attached tightly. In some cases, they make an indent 5-20 mm to the side, which depends on the direction of opening of the sash.

Drawing of trunk.

The windows of the window opening and the platband are installed closely. This design allows you to install bedside tables that protect the lower part of the platbands.

Upon completion of installation work, it is imperative to produce protective machining. You should also apply paint or varnish, which from time to time must be updated.

Stencils for platbands on the windows


Stencils for platbands on the windows. How to make carved platbands? Tubes on the windows, despite their simplicity, are of great importance in the decorative design of the facade of the house. They not only create

Wooden carved platbands on windows with their own hands

For buildings from the log cabin, carved platbands simply suggest for the design of window openings. Their independent manufacture is not at all a whim or attempt to save, because really good masters of wood threads are very few.

Required minimum tool

The manufacture of platbands, in contrast to the artistic carving of the tree, implies the multiple performing the same operations, resulting in a fairly primitive repeating pattern. Therefore, most of the work is performed by an electric tool: so not only the processing speed increases, but also the uniform quality is achieved on different sections.

1 - electrolovka; 2 - drill; 3 - tape grinding; 4 - vibration grinding; 5 - manual milling

The main work is performed by a jigsaw and a drill. The tool must be reliable and high-quality, which is able to be in continuous use for a long time. For stripping and grinding products it is better to use the electrical grinding, at least the simplest tape. Fast finishing relief refinement is possible using a vibration type machine.

If you intend to give extra minor details of the faces of your product, you can not do without a mill. Descents, chamfer and curly buzz can also be performed manually, but only in the presence of a variety of chisels, cutters and specific skills of working with wood.

A set of wood cutters

How to choose wood

Calcarquarters are best suited to suit solid wood: oak, birch, ash, Clane, alder. Since the thickness of the finished product is relatively small (30-45 mm), the solid rocks will be less susceptible to rotting and drying, it has become longer to retain its appearance.

If carved platbands you plan to decorate flat-embossed elements with a variety of small parts, you should give preference to softer rocks with a small pattern of texture. Lipa, poplar, ox, nut and spruce are suitable.

Wood for platbands should be selected and, preferably, chamber drying, humidity not higher than 12%. It is not allowed to preserve tracking or other pronounced defects, large bans. Ideally, you should immediately order calibrated boards with a width of 100-150 mm and a thickness of 30-40 mm.

The length of the billets should be sufficient to completely block the window opening horizontally and vertically with the appearance on each side by 1.5 width of the board. It is important that you initially counted the number of necessary workpieces and, besides them, have acquired a few more boobs of the cheapest breed for training and testing the thread skill.

Making templates and stencils

Practically any wood carving begins with drawing a drawing on a predetermined pattern or stencil. The network of threads in the network is abuse, the main complexity is reduced to the transfer of lines to the part exactly and without distortion. Immediately warn: do not chase for the high complexity of the picture. A set of even the most primitive elements in the correct sequence and with competently chosen retreats takes its modesty and quality processing.

Top and bottom platband layout templates on the window

Cooling Ornament Template

The first embodiment of the markup is the manufacture of a small pattern from plastic or solid sheet material, on which a single element of a repeating pattern is applied. Such a template is consistently applied to the workpiece and becomes a pencil.

It is also possible to manufacture a solid template. You need to take a paper strip of the appropriate width, fold it with a harmonica several times, and then cut the pattern on the principle of christmas garland. The resulting tape should be pasted into cardboard or LMDF, and then cut the desired figures. This method is welcomed with a significant amount of work.

The resulting stencil is subsequently simply superimposed on the board and will be burned with a soft pencil. Ideally, saturated, but accurate cuts and boundaries of further processing should remain. Placing details, you need to take into account the pattern of the pattern, so that the platbands form a solid and completed circuit, and the repeating pattern was not interrupted by the nefple.

Sampling through holes

The first thing is to trim the edges of the workpiece and sample holes in the center. With the edges, everything is simple: cut out the superior jigsaw, retreating from the layout line 1-1.5 mm outward for subsequent processing. For cutting figures in the center of the plane, the part is drilled by the line of each cut, then select the inner contour of the jigsaw.

For the manufacture of large holes, it is wise to use crown drills. In this case, it is necessary to place on the template not contours, and the centers of the circles in which the centering crown drill will be installed. Similar ads can also be used in the manufacture of oval holes or elements with low rounding radius: the complex bend is drilled by the corresponding radius, and everything else is cut with a jigsaw.

When unnecessary parts of the workpiece are drinking, edges need to be carefully treated with rashpil, and then sandpaper. It is recommended to use brus of square, round and rounded profiles to which sandpaper is naked. So you are less likely to "scream" the edges and can get straight corners on each edge.

Rectangular ribs look pretty rude, so they are smoothed by the champers and descents of different profiles. The easiest way to diversify the product is to go through the external and inner contours of the platband with a figured cutter. But manual processing options are also possible:

  • to remove the chamfers, walk along the straight edges of the chips, keeping the angle of inclination of the handle to the parts constant;
  • a semicircular convex descent can also be made by chips by changing the slope of the blade, or use a concave cutter for this;
  • a concave semicircular pairing is performed by a chisel or cutter with a rounded edge. Such elements need to be cut in stages, removing a small chips with a layer behind the layer and carefully controlling the tool blindness and the slope of the handle;
  • if the descent has a complex form with several convex, concave and straight elements, this profile is divided into several steps and is cut into a strict sequence, starting with the widest outer part and ending with the deepest and small tier.

Deaf Thread: Apply Relief

When you were finished with the formation of a form, it would be nice to diversify the remaining flat elements with a simple ornament or vegetable patterns. Here are the simplest techniques of work:

  1. The groove (branch, groove) is made by a narrow chine or a cutter with a square, triangular or concave form of the blade. The carving is carried out strictly along the line, the relief is chosen by a shallow chips and then gripped.
  2. The sheet is a few small grooves, imitating streaks, cropped by a disk knife. From the center between the veins to each of them, small cats are performed by a semicircular chisel, imitating the body of the sheet, then the outer contour is then a thin cutter.
  3. The adjacent flat sections can be diversified with a deaf thread of a small ornament. For example, cut through the two grooves from the edge, forming a triangle with him, and in the center there is a sparkle as a sparkle.

Wood processing and installation of platbands

Due to carved elements, the wooden product has a large surface shape, due to which it is stronger than aging. Therefore, wood should be treated in a special way.

First of all, carved products for accommodation on the facade should be soaked in the antiseptic composition for 5-8 hours, for which you can dig up a small trench in the ground and put a plastic film to temporarily arrange a bath. After soaking the details for several days, dried folded into a stack with lining after 30-40 cm.

When the wood dried, it needs to be carefully taken, seeking smoothness and finally eliminating all traces of cutting and threads. The protective composition is selected in accordance with the type of facade finish, it can be both alkyd enamel and polyurethane varnish, toning or transparent.

Finally, for the proper installation of platbands, the window should be framed with a flat rack with a thickness of 10-15 mm and such a width so that its external edge is visible through the carved pattern along the contour circuit. The purpose of this plank is to eliminate the remaining irregularities of the wall and ensure the reliable basis for fixing the carved element. Often this rail is stained in color contrasting the coating of the reinforcement itself for greater expressiveness of the pattern.

Cashbar can be attached with a straight and oblique trimming, which depends on the type and density of the pattern. The oblique trimming is performed with the wrinkle of each side under 45 °, and the line of the cut must pass through identical patterns of the pattern and do not cross the cut inside the shape.

With a direct trimming, the horizontal element is located between two vertical. Their upper edge must be 1-2 cm above the crossbar if the edged end end. It is also possible to make a thread on the edge of the overall scheme, if in the process of manufacture to carry out the fitting and accurate fit of the platbands. The same fastening of platforms is elementary - for him uses ordinary heap nails without a hat. It is only important that the nail flashes the platband and the bar, speaking at least 5 mm with an inside.

Wooden carved platbands on windows with their own hands


For buildings from the log cabin, carved platbands simply suggest for the design of window openings. Their own independent production - not a whim or attempt to save, because really good

Fabulous beauty that has come down to us from the depths of the centuries. It is visible to everyone on ancient, beautiful, chopped houses, decorated with interesting carvings of platbands with openwork patterns and rich kokosniki, located on the roof, and admire many modern people. You can admire such beauty for a long time, but to create it yourself - a very difficult task. However, with a large and insurmountable desire, you can make carved platbands on the windows (templates) with your own hands.

The problem of creating trunks of wood

The question is not that the skills of this artist or fantasy are needed to create geometrically correct, interesting, vectors. The problem is more lies in the fact that products from natural materials, such as wood, are sufficiently short-lived due to the effects of external factors. The disadvantage of wooden platbands and thread elements is that they are capable of long-decades to maintain their original appearance, if they store them in dry rooms inside the house. And the moisture in the street will quickly provoke the tree to swear, crack and may even cause the appearance of chips in places where the thread is thin. Any paintwork is inferior to the effects of ultraviolet rays, and rains only aggravate the overall picture.

This leads to the need to put the product painting every year, constantly spending money on covering and spending a lot of time on labor. Not to mention that you have to repair or even replace such carved patterns with your own hands for these products can be made from various materials.

Why not use a tree

This moment may cause difficulties, but should not be upset ahead of time. There is always a way out, how to create a cozy and pleasant atmosphere and improve the appearance of the building. Modern technologies made it possible to create many materials, more resistant to the effects of the external environment.

At the same time, in all building stores they can be found in excess. You can, for example, instead of wood use flat iron. With it, you can make durable and no less beautiful carved platbands on the windows in this case in this case, just as in the manufacture of this element of the decor from the tree.

Flat iron

Flat iron or sheet, as it is customary to call it, considering the factory classifications, is a thin tin, the thickness of which is about 0.4-0.7 millimeters. The store you can find the rolls of this material from 20 to 50 meters. The width of such a roll according to the standard is 1025 centimeters. This material is made to cover various colors, and you can meet both light and dark tin. In addition, each iron sheet is covered with a protective film, which allows you to maintain the initial characteristics during transportation and does not allow scratches and chosel.

Necessary materials

To independently make from flat iron carved (templates can be seen in this article), the following materials and tools will be needed:

  • First, it will take a flat iron sheet (tin), which will have a standard width of a little more than a meter.
  • Secondly, a roll of cheap wallpaper will be required. They are used as auxiliary means to make carved platbands on the windows with their own hands. Stencils for the decoration of walls and other patterns are applied precisely on the wallpaper, and only then on the material.
  • A set of clips with which you can fix templates. Their fixation will help more accurately and smoothly translate pattern with a pattern on the surface of the material from which carved platbands will be made on the windows with their own hands. Sketches to create blanks can be easily found quite easily and is also easy to use. In addition, they will be needed when you need to fix the finished parts with each other.
  • Connecting brackets. It should be noted that their size should not exceed 4 millimeters.
  • An ordinary pencil for drawing the pattern and the necessary marks.
  • Eraser: After all, there is a possibility that the pattern from the first time may turn out not perfectly smoothly.
  • The ruler to better sample all the surfaces and determine the accuracy of the patterns.

  • Drill, the diameter of which will be 8 millimeters. It will be needed, in order to create holes for an electric bison. This will occur in those places where the upper carved platbands on the windows will be cut. Templates, whose photo we could use as a basis for the stencil of blanks, we are no longer needed at this step.
  • Drill, the diameter of which will not exceed 4 millimeters. With it, the holes needed in the place where the riveting compounds of parts will be created.
  • Metal hacksaw.
  • Emery paper, and small, and medium. It is needed to eliminate burrs who are inevitably formed during the work.
  • The riveting machine (manual) and the hammer, preferably rubber. Through these tools, the billets will be carried out.

Subtleties of the process of manufacturing platbands from tin

Before you start creating carved platforms on the windows, you should make and install high-quality window slopes. It is necessary to remove the correct sizes and in order to make carved platbands on the windows with your own hands. Drawings can tell how to do it right. This is done taking into account the protruding edges of the slopes that go on the walls. After all sizes are removed, it is worth calculating the characteristics of future platbands. The standard width of this product is approximately 30 centimeters.

Next, you need to choose any smooth wallpaper roll to make carved platbands on the windows with your own hands (patterns naturally). When the pattern is selected, you will need to prepare three "patterns". One of them will be longer, it is needed for lateral symmetrical parts, the second and third, respectively, is shorter, for the top and bottom of the window.

Creating a template

Cut-off bands need to be folded twice, and so that when drawing a sketch, the pattern center corresponded to the sequel. This manipulation will save time and reduce the likelihood of errors when creating a template.

The fact is that during the cutting pattern, both half of the template will be created, in other words, this will create perfectly smooth and right carved platbands on the windows with their own hands. The patterns of patterns will be used not as often as with a separate drawing of each part of the workpiece.

Workplace and materials

To create an ideal workplace for further work, you need to move together two tables whose height will be the same. Between the tables need to leave a gap that will be about 8 centimeters. This distance is necessary for the operation of the electric jigsaw. For the manufacture of platbands, a metal of two colors will be required. This combination is the easiest option. If you wish, you can change this parameter.

Patch upper color, for example, choose white. It is on it that the patterns will be cut. As a second layer, you can choose the material of any color, since it will not be seen anyway, since it is used exclusively as a lining under the outer layer of the product, which is called carved platbands on the windows. We make templates with your own hands, recall again.

Creating a shet iron

It is necessary to take a sheet of flat iron and cut it with strips to create platbands the desired width. It should be flipped by the face down the blanks of the upper invoice, as well as make a coup on the opposite direction after fixing the template using the clips. After that, the openwork pattern is translated.

After the drawing is displayed, you will need an electric door with a drill with a diameter of 8 millimeters. You need to drill through holes and start drinking the pen with a saw and a jigsaw. Next, you need to put the iron strip on the table, and it is important that it is clearly in the center of the table. This will make it possible to clearly and smoothly cut the drawing without prejudice to the overall picture.

Creating a lower billet

After the upper part was cut, you can go to the next action that is responsible for creating the bottom, which will serve as a background. To do this, you also need to cut the material on the strips with the necessary characteristics of the width and length. At the same time, it is not necessary to forget that the details will be edging, that is, the width of this pattern should exceed the indicators of external blanks. An ideal option in this case will increase the width of about five centimeters. Back to produce a leaf coup - so that the front side is located on top. Next, you need to put the top blank of the platband on this item, which is located face down and encourage an external kant along the edge of the drawing, taking into account the return, and then you can start cutting the item.

Completing work with workpieces

After both blanks were prepared, you need to remove the protective film from them and impose them on each other. After that, the details should be fixed with the help of the clips. Next, one or more holes with a diameter of four millimeters should be done. Using a riveting manual machine, you need to make a checkout of parts, thereby preventing their discrepancy. By carrying out this action, you can begin to drill and kill the entire design.

All - the product is fully prepared for use. You can proceed to the next step - to install carved platbands on the windows with your own hands. We made templates for them earlier.

Installation of casualin

In order to carry out the installation of platbands, first you need to find a staircase or a ladder, which can be reached by windows. To carry out the installation of products on the wooden wall, you will need:

  • A hammer.
  • Small nails whose length does not exceed six centimeters.
  • Syringe mounting.
  • Liquid silicone for mounting. At the same time, it must correspond to the color of the platband or be in generally colorless. It will need to smear the emerged cracks.
  • A small artistic brush, as well as paint, corresponding to the color of the product, with the help of these tools will be painted with nails hats, so that they do not spin the type of platbands.

To carry out the installation of platbands on the wall, which consists of a stone, will be required:

  • Electric drill.
  • Drill with a diameter of 4 millimeters with a winning tip.
  • Corks for screws. If they are not available, you can independently ascend wooden and score them into the holes.
  • Mounting syringe.
  • Liquid mounted silicone, the color of which either will coincide with the color of the product, or it will be transparent to not spoil the appearance of the design.
  • Little artistic brush, as well as paint corresponding to the color of the product. With the help of these tools, the painting of nails hats will be carried out so that they do not spin the type of product, which is called "carved platbands on the windows." Templates, with your own hands made, you can postpone until the next case.

The final stage of work

It is necessary to adjust the platbands close to the edges of the windows of the windows that perform and consolidate them to the wall. After that, it is necessary to eliminate all the gaps and irregularities using silicone. After bringing the product to an aesthetic type of work, you can safely be considered completed.

Based on the information given above, it is immediately seen that it is quite realistic to create carved platbands on the windows with your own hands. Templates are simple or complex - you can find or also to do it yourself. Therefore, using even minimal skills and fantasy, it is quite possible to improve the appearance of the building, without spending a lot of money and time.

Printing is an important component for any window. Often they are associated with beautiful carved products serving purely for decorative purposes. But not always they have a catchy look, and they are much more functions. This is a universal element that is necessary to protect windows and improve their insulation qualities. Therefore, their installation is recommended in almost any wooden house.

What do you need platbands

The platband decorates the window and makes it much more colorful. But initially his appointment was protective. The platbands are used as an external element of the window frame, which not only protects it from damage, but also closes the mounting gap between the frame and the wall of the house.

This approach provides:

  • Reduced heat loss;
  • Elimination of through holes;
  • Protection against dust and noise;
  • Protection against moisture.

Interesting ! Previously, platbands were used and as charms. Because of this, they were given a colorful and non-standard appearance.

Although these advantages are not so significant in concrete and brick structures, they are extremely important for wooden houses. Over time, wood can be soaked and deformed, which leads to the occurrence of slots between the frame and the rest of the design. The platbands allow you to slow down this process, as well as reduce the harm from already existing holes.

Types of mines

For houses use a lot of types of platbands. Often they differ in the material used, since they are similar to them. The main classification of platbands is in the installation method and notes two types of platbands:

  1. Overhead;
  2. Telescopic.

The invoice is considered the most common, being an old type. It is installed by a simple method on top of the window frame, thereby overlapping the access of the sun and the sediments to the junction. Installation of this species is very simple and does not require much effort.

Telescopic platband is more modern. Its fastener does not require additional elements like screws or nails, because it is placed in the slot between the wall and the frame. Through this, it is reliably fixed throughout the perimeter.

Priority to use the telescopic module. It is more convenient, because more reliably covers the slot and prevents its deformation. However, its installation is complicated by the fact that it is necessary to completely remove the window for it, which is not always possible in wooden houses. In such cases, it is easier and more efficient to use a false platband.

Materials of cylinders

Materials for platbands may be different. Often, wood is used for these tasks, which is recommended for wooden structures. But here are allowed several options, among which:

  • Wood;
  • Plastic;

A tree is a practical and natural version that is suitable for any facilities. Thanks to his versatility, he can give any ornament and style, and the use of the same type will allow it to be perfectly supplemented.

Tip! For better alignment, it is recommended to make platbands from the same wood as the construction. But if the texture is the same, then the color can be changed by special compositions.

It is often chosen precisely because of a variety in the decor, because other materials require special processing on machines and rarely have similar adorning elements.

Although wood is reliable and durable, she has its drawbacks. Among them is a vulnerability to moisture and high temperatures. In addition, frosts on it also act negatively, destroying and deforming the structure.

Plastic in this plan is much more convenient. It is practical and reliable, and extensive opportunities in production allow you to give it any texture, including woody. But at the same time, it is not deformed from moisture and temperature drop, and its lifetime is much more. Another advantage of plastic lies in the fact that it has the elements of fasteners in advance, which makes it possible not to spoil the appearance of casual frames with nails or screws.

Perhaps the only lack of plastic is his artificiality. Many owners do not want to complement their home with artificial materials and reduce its environmental friendliness. Here can help the third option.

MDF is plates made from woodworking waste. They are natural, but at the same time are impregnated with special compositions, which significantly increases the life of the material and protects it from the impact of external factors. Often such platbands are laminized, which increases their life and reliability. The only drawback of such elements is relatively low strength compared to plastic and wood.

What material to take - the choice is purely individual. Each of them has its advantages, but the shortcomings are also available.

What wood is better

If the choice fell on wooden platbands, then it is important to mark the selection of wood species. In fact, almost all options will be suitable for this task, because they do not need to transfer any load. But here there are nuances.

The optimal option for platbands is oak or beech. This is a durable breed that is capable of serving a long time and not deform from moisture or heat. But the problem is that it is extremely difficult to work with it. Alone to cut patterns on such a material is extremely difficult, and not every wizard will take it.

Tip! The exit from this situation is special milling machines, the pattern on which is loaded in advance to the program.

If you need a softer and inexpensive breed, you can choose a liquip. It's easy to work with it, but without careful processing it will quickly collapse. It is necessary to use high-quality antiseptics and some coating, which may worsen its appearance.

An intermediate option for such a task is birch or pine. It is quite durable grade that requires only basic care. But at the same time it will be easy to work with it.

Preparation for mounting

Previously, you must remove all the measurements from the window. It is important to choose the appropriate dimensions so that the contour frame does not look out due to the platband and was securely hidden. Next, preparatory stages are carried out with the material.

If wood is used during the work, then you need to pre-cut blanks of platbands, decorate them at their discretion and process. Plastic and MDF does not require treatment, but for wood, impregnation with protective compositions against moisture is needed, as well as to protect against insects.

Important ! All work is carried out with a dry lumber. If he is poorly succeeded, it is possible to deform after installation, which will spoil all the work.

After measurements and processing, it is important to place the places of joints and fasteners in advance. All holes are previously dried. Cashbits are carefully polished.

It is also important to prepare the place of work. Window joints are carefully isolated, because further access to them will be limited. If some work on isolation or repair are planned, then it is necessary to make them before installation.

You need to pre-select the attachment method. For telescopic platbands, it is not required, but there are several options for the invoices. Among them are the most popular are:

  1. Nails;
  2. Deaf spike;
  3. Through spike.

The first option is the most simple, but spoils the overall picture and creates an excessive load on the material when installing. Therefore, the spikes are more convenient. The deaf spike implies the installation of small spikes on the windows frame, and small holes are made in the platband. The cross-cutting spike implies the same technology, but the hole in the end-to-end platband.

If the house is built from the cut, then you need to free the place for the platbands. To do this, trim the protruding edges, which can be done at an angle.

Installation of platbands in a wooden house

After all prior procedures, the installation stage begins. To begin with, all components of the platband are connected to each other. To do this, you can use the same spike technologies, nails or glue. But the latter is often used as auxiliary component.

In the process of installation, when using spikes, you need to do the following:

  • Mark the future location of spikes on the frame and platband;
  • Make or purchase spikes for this task;
  • Drill the corresponding holes in pre-marked places;
  • Take a platband on the thorn and fix.

The first stage includes pre-marking of the perimeter, where the fasteners will be placed. It is important to uniformly distribute the load, so they are located on the perimeter of the structure.

After purchasing or making spikes, future holes are drilled under them. This is a simple stage, after which the installation process itself begins. The platband is neatly located so that all spikes get into the holes.

The task is quite simple, it is only important to accurately place the future location of fasteners. It is recommended to use glue during operation to securely fix the design after installation. This will reduce the risk of its fall and improve the isolation of the holes.

It is possible to simplify the process through conventional screws. Although they worsen appearance, their use greatly simplifies installation.

Upon completion of work, it is worth treating the working holes with the composition so that they do not absorb moisture. Then it is only worth watching the condition of the design and care for it as needed.

The whole process is quite simple, it is only important to connect all the elements with high quality and not neglect the preparatory stages of the installation. Due to this, this design will serve for a long time, decorating the house and protecting residents from drafts and moisture.

Which of us, seeing beautiful, old, chopped houses, decorated with intricate thread of openwork casters, with carved, as if the royal crown, rich in the roofs on the roofs, did not admire the fabulous beauty that came to us from the depths of centuries. But see such beauty and admire her, this is one. And make a fabulous palace from your house, the task is not simple.

And the matter is not even that someone has no skills of the artist or there is not enough fantasy in building twisted patterns, snag in the briefness of external wooden elements and structures. Unfortunately, wooden platbands and thread elements retain their primary appearance for many years, only in internal, dry rooms. In an external wet environment, the tree quickly brends, cracking and carries, especially in places of fine thread. The external environment, the sun and rains quickly rest paint coatings, forcing, once again spend money on the paint and every two or three years to repaint everything.

Despite some difficulties that may seem at first glance, do not give up the desire to turn their gray house in teremok. The abundance of materials in building stores allows you to replace the tree to a more durable material. In this master class you will learn how to make carved platbands on the windows with your own hands replacing the tree with flat iron.

Flat iron, or a flat sheet, as it is correctly called by the factory classification, is a thin tin (thickness of 0.40-0.70 mm), which comes from the plant with rolls of 20, 30 and 50 meters. Standard factory width sheet in rolls 1 meter 25 centimeters. Flat iron is painted in different colors, from white to black chocolate. All iron sheets are covered with protective film protecting them from scratches during transportation.

Materials and tools

For the manufacture of carved platbands, we will need:

  • flat sheet of tin iron standard 1 meter-width of 25 centimeters;
  • wallpaper roll for making platband pattern patterns;
  • clippers for fixing patterns during the translation of the drawings and for subsequent fixation of the finished parts of each other;
  • connecting brackets size 3-4 millimeters;
  • simple pencil;
  • eraser;
  • line;
  • 8 millimeters drill for drilling holes under the electric bison, in the places of cut parts of the upper patch platband;
  • the drill is a small 3-4 millimeter for drilling holes in the places of the riveting connection of parts;
  • electric jigsaw;
  • saw on metal with small teeth;
  • small and medium sandpaper for grinding burrs on the back of the details;
  • close-up manual machine and rubber hammer for richtovka blanks.

The process of manufacturing carved platbands

Getting started to make window platbands, you must make it in advance and set the slopes on the windows. One of the options is the slopes of white iron.

After we produce and install the slopes, remove the exact size from the window. Considering the edges of the edge of slopes. When the size is removed, calculated the width and the length of the platbands. Standard width 30-35 centimeters, window length plus platband width.

After removing all the sizes make templates for platbands from any smooth wallpaper roll. By selecting a pattern of a pattern, we prepare two templates. One long side and one short to the bottom and top of the window. We fold the cut out of the paper strip twice and draw a sketch so that the center of the pattern is on the place of the bend. When the drawing is cut, it will automatically be ready and the second half of it will automatically, it will turn out the correct level template.

We prepare the workplace, for this we put two tables, the same height, next to each other in length, between the tables, we leave the gap of 7-8 cm between the tables, this is a place for operation with an electric jigsaw. Putnquiries are made of two colors of the metal (the easiest option). The top invoice will be white, on it and cut patterns. The second color of any choice is the background lining under the top carved sheet.

We take a flat iron sheet, cut the strip for platbands of the desired width.

Billets of the upper invoice of the platband turn the face down, and on the opposite direction, securing the paper with the paper with the texture, we translate the openwork drawing of the platband.

When the drawing is ready, we take the electric drill, plan the drill of 8 millimeters and through the edges of the drawing drill through holes under the pink of the jigsaw and start drinking the platband.

Cut the platbands on the windows of iron.

We put the iron strip on the table so that the cut part was in the center of the table, and begin to cut the drawing along the contour.
Cutting the upper part, go to the manufacture of the bottom, the background of the platband. To do this, also cut the iron sheet into the bands of the size we need, taking into account the edging. The width of this sheet should be 4-5 centimeters wider.

I turn over the sheet face up. We put on it face down the finished top blank of the platband. We supply the external Cant on the edge of the drawing 4-5 cm wide and begin to cut.

Prepare both blanks, remove the protective film from them and impose on each other.

Fix them with paper clips and we do 1-2 holes with a drill of 3-4 millimeters. Making a closing manual machine the control hitch so that the details are not separated. After that, drills and rivet the whole design. The platband on the window is ready.

Installation of carved platbands on the window

After the platbands are made begin to mount them on the wall, there will be a staircase or a stepladder.
When installing platbands on the wooden wall, you will need:

  • a hammer;
  • small nails 5-6 centimeters;
  • mounting syringe;
  • mounting liquid silicone (white as color of the platband or colorless) for sludge slots;
  • little artistic brush, and paint in the color of the platband for putting a nail hat.

When installing platbands on stone walls, we will need:

  • electric drill;
  • drill with a diameter of 3-4 millimeters with a winning tip;
  • corks for screws (in the absence of traffic jams, you can adjust and score homemade wooden tubes into the wall hole);
  • syringe and mounting liquid silicone;
  • artistic small brush and paint in color of the platband for smear shirts of screws.

Prints are adjusted close to the edges of the protruding window slopes and are attached to the wall.

Then the mounting silicone is assessed all the slots and uneven places. And the caps of nails or screws with a thin tassel are scorn with paint in color of the platband. Work is ready, carved platbands are installed on the windows.
