PVC windows

[Plettan1]

Help me! Does anyone know if we should accept this from craftsmen? Yellow coarse casings together with PVC windows… crying… or is it supposed to be like this?

 

[MrJay]

I would not have accepted it, what did you agree on?

Metal cladding on PVC windows I think works much better, see the clip below.

How did you envision it?
What did it look like before?

The linings are probably just primed and need paint white or whatever you want


Also PVC, all wood is primed and mid-coated to be fully painted next year

Agreed that we should be satisfied, no payment before. Must be a certified carpenter. We are not carpenters, must rely on the craftsman. Difficult to come up with our own suggestions regarding trim when we don't know what options are apparently available. Metal would have been nice! This is terrible...

This is how it looked before…

It is quite clear that you are not satisfied, so they have not lived up to expectations. If you want plåt instead, just demand that it be replaced.

Mmm.. will have to discuss this with the craftsman, we can't live with this.

I don't think I've ever seen a house with a wood facade and windows lined with metal. I installed PVC in the last garage, and it had wood trim and casing.

As already mentioned, what did it look like before they replaced the windows?

I don't think I've ever seen a house with a wooden facade and windows edged with metal. I used PVC in the last garage and it got wooden trimming and lining.

As already mentioned, how did it look before they replaced the windows?

Here you go! You have the picture of how it looked before further up in the thread.

 

[Robert-san01]

You're welcome! The picture of how it looked before is up in the thread.

Is that a wooden facade?

I saw the picture from before and it's quite easy to conclude that it’s not possible to have it without trim between the door and window as they were not built as a single unit from the factory.

 

[MrJay]

Is that a wooden facade?

Answer yes. I think the best would be to have a similar wooden trim outside as inside. Here is a picture from Mockfjärds illustrating that:

There is a trim you can place between the window and door, the trim is like an H.
But you need to have the exact measurements for the stuff.

I know I did that somewhere, then I drilled through the plastic, drove self-tapping sheet metal screws into the metal frame to connect the two.

Wood or metal is a matter of taste. A metal reveal against roughcut mexisten is useless as it creates large holes due to the stone being so uneven. Filling these gaps is difficult with a metal reveal. Additionally, it is incorrectly done where the window meets the door. There should be a window sill with a downward fold. It is not skilled installers who did that installation.

Had solved it between the window and door

But I don't think it looks so bad, white paint and it will probably be okay

Wood or metal is a matter of taste. A metal trim against rough-cut brick is useless as it results in large gaps due to the unevenness of the stone. Filling these gaps is difficult with a metal trim. It is also incorrectly done where the window meets the door. There should be a window sill with a drip edge. The installers who did this montage are not knowledgeable.

I think it looks like they reused the original lining and sill.

I agree that it's completely wrong.
