The use of slopes and platbands

Window frames, which are commonly referred to as slopes and architraves, are one of the most important factors in aesthetic terms, because, in fact, they are exactly the part of the window that affects the integrity of your interior design.
So, slopes and platbands can be made of various materials, but wood or plastic is most often used. It is worth noting that plastic slopes and platbands have become the most popular recently, since in addition to their more attractive appearance, they have much more advanced technological performance, which allows them to increase their service life, and it is plastic slopes that resist various corrosion processes several times better. In addition, plastic surfaces, unlike wooden ones, do not need post-treatment, for example, impregnation, etc. As a rule, plastic slopes are initially available in a wide range of colors, which will allow you to choose the tone you need, which will match the overall color palette of your interior. It should be noted right away that only by using plastic slopes and platbands can you achieve a perfectly smooth and at the same time glossy surface in these interior elements.
It is worth noting that the main advantage of plastic slopes, compared with conventional plastered ones, is their constancy, that is, if the plaster in any case shrinks over time, which creates gaps between the frame and the window, then the plastic has a constant thickness without changing or deforming over time. Plastered slopes also tend to crack due to temperature fluctuations or shrinkage of the house, while plastic is designed for temperature changes and is elastic enough not to deform from small physical impacts. An additional thermal insulation layer is often placed under the slopes and platbands, thereby they retain heat much better in the room compared to plastered slopes. As a result, the price of plastic slopes is often significantly lower than the payment for the work required for plastering slopes, especially in cases of partial damage.
In general, it should be noted that the slopes and platbands are used to give the window a finished look and hide some of the visual flaws allowed when installing windows. spinight
