want to join upvc f/door with frame to upvc window , do you need a fixing plate or do you screw them togethe?

Question

upvc window + upvc front door joining them together are special fixings req or just screws

Answer 1

Give some thought to strength here. A front door takes a lot of traffic and constant opening and closing the door can put a lot of strain on the windowset. Similarly security might be an issue as it would not be too hard to take a running kick at this door and pull out the window and door as one.

Some units have steel subframes and you can get a steel section to reinforce the frame from lintel to floor. Check this out with your supplier.

Answer 2

you may want to purchase proprietary uPVC cleaners from Betterware and so on, yet motor vehicle polish will do the pastime admirably. If there's a crusty deposit on the uPVC then use T-decrease first, and then end off with a good high quality motor vehicle polish like Autoglym or similar. it is back-breaking artwork, yet curiously good even as executed, and does look after the uPVC from going-off back too quickly.

Answer 3

It depends on the manufacturer.

Some are designed to use a fixing strip others are desined to be fixed to intermediate posts others can be fixed togester. (Use an "H" moulding in between.)
