[0001] The object of the invention is the method of joinery fitting and the set of joinery
fitting elements based on segment elements, applied in energy-efficient and passive
construction industry.
[0002] Recently, a significant increase in prices of thermal energy used to heat homes has
resulted in the increased interest in limiting heat losses resulting from thermal
bridges and tightness of joinery joints; thus, the advancement of windows and balcony
doors beyond the face of the wall shifted into the zone of the external building insulation
and possibly tight connections of window and door frames with the wall are aimed for.
[0003] There is a commonly known method of joinery insulation consisting in that into an
opening in the wall cleaned from dust, grease and other dirt window and/or door frames,
which are previously equipped on the perimeter with fixing anchors, are inserted.
Then windows and/or doors are levelled, their correct fitting position in the wall
openings is determined with wedges placed between the wall and the windows and/or
doors frame, then the anchors are bent in such a way that they adhere to the wall
and screwed, most commonly with wall plugs and fixing screws, and then the gaps created
between the frame and the opening in the wall are filled in 50 to 75% of the volume
of the present gap between the frame and the wall with assembly foam, most commonly
polyurethane foam, which increases its volume and tightly fills the gap between the
frames and the wall. After the foam hardens due to air humidity, the fitting wedges
are removed and the assembly foam is reinjected into the created gaps, and after it
hardens its excess is shaved off, flushing the foam properly with the surfaces between
the frame and the wall.
[0004] The purpose of the invention is to develop a method of joinery fitting and a set
of joinery fitting elements based on segment elements made of rigid EPS in the form
of a mounting beam, a ground beam, an internal window sill base and an external window
sill base joined tightly with the wall, and joined with each other with special locks
and other known elements in form of glues, assembly foams, assembly connectors and
sealing tapes.
