Sooner or later, the time comes to make changes to the interior; perhaps there is a need to replace the doors if they are absolutely not suitable for the chosen new style. And then the question arises of how to install an interior door yourself in order to save a round sum on calling a specialist. Carrying out this event is quite accessible to anyone who knows how to work with construction tools, has carpentry skills and knows step-by-step instructions for carrying out the work.
Not a single residential building can do without. If wooden box, in which the old door is installed is in good condition, then only the door leaf and facing panels (platbands) can be changed. This process is much easier to complete than completely replacing the door frame along with the leaf. However, even such a large-scale alteration, with the replacement of the box, is quite doable.
Tools for work
To carry out any carpentry work, you must have the following tools on hand:
- Planer for leveling end surfaces. You may need a manual one, for small, delicate work, and an electric one, if the fit is extensive enough.
- Carpenter's square - the longer, the more accurate the markings will be.
- Construction level, plumb.
- Screwdriver with a set of attachments (bits).
- An extended screwdriver - you may need both a straight blade and a curved one, so it’s better to have a set.
- One type of saw can be a hand saw or an electric circular saw.
- Tape measure, pencil.
- A miter box for correct cutting of corners when fitting wooden parts.

- Electric drill.
In addition to tools, you will need auxiliary materials and consumables:
- Wooden wedges for door frame spacers.
- Stain and varnish, primer and paint.
- Self-tapping screws, dowels and anchor fasteners.
- Polyurethane foam.
Door drawing
It is recommended that before starting work, draw up a drawing on which you must accurately indicate all the dimensions taken from the opening, door frame and door leaf. This scheme will help you quickly complete work without being distracted by measuring each part during the installation process.
![](https://i1.wp.com/stroyday.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%D0%A1%D1%85%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%B0-%D0%B4%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B8-%D1%81%D0%BE-%D0%B2%D1%81%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%B8-%D1%8D%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%B5%D0%BD%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%B8.jpg)
To obtain an accurate picture, it is necessary to measure the height and width of the installed old door, and the thickness interior doors usually standard and is 40 mm. Modern doors sometimes they are slightly different from older models, and in this case it will be necessary to adjust the door leaf or change the entire door block.
Whatever decision is made - to replace the entire block or just the door leaf, you still need to start by removing the old door from its hinges.
Replacement of door leaf only
Removing the door leaf
Hinges installed on an interior door may have different designs, which means the door can be removed in different ways. However, all methods are not difficult.
As you know, door hinges consist of two parts, one of which is attached to the door, and the second to the door jamb. In some models, the axial rod is permanently fixed inside the element, which is mounted on the vertical post of the jamb, and in another part, installed on the door leaf, there is a hole where the rod should go. When removing a door hung on such hinges, you need to install a pry bar under its lower edge and apply a little force to lift the door. It is best if there is a second worker who will support the door in an upright position and then help remove it completely.
![](https://i2.wp.com/stroyday.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%D0%A1%D0%BD%D1%8F%D1%82%D0%B8%D0%B5-%D0%B4%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B8-%D1%81-%D0%BF%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8C.jpg)
Another type of canopy in which the axle rod is inserted from the top and passes through both parts of the hinge. In order to dismantle a door hung on such hinges, it is enough to pull out the rods installed in them, which have a kind of mushroom-shaped cap on top. Place a reliable wide screwdriver under it, and, tapping its handle, pull the pin out of the loop. You need to start the process from the bottom hinge to avoid the door tipping over, which with its weight can easily tear out part of the hinge installed on the jamb, damaging its surface. This is especially undesirable if the door frame is in good condition and will be used for a new door.
After dismantling the door from the opening, it is necessary to remove the hinges, handles, and locks.
Fitting a new door
If only the door leaf is replaced, the new door will have to be adjusted to fit the existing opening, based on the dimensions of the old one. It needs to be removed exact dimensions and transfer them to a new canvas.
![](https://i2.wp.com/stroyday.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%D0%A1%D1%85%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%B0-%D1%83%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BA%D0%B0.jpg)
You can do it another way - new door laid on a flat surface, and the old dismantled canvas is placed on top of it. The canvases are leveled along the top and along the vertical edge of the door on the side where the handle will be installed. If the new canvas is larger in size than the old one, it will need to be adjusted. Using a pencil, lines are drawn on it, along which an excess fragment is sawed off from the new canvas.
![](https://i0.wp.com/stroyday.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%D0%A0%D0%B0%D0%B7%D0%BC%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%BA%D0%B0-%D0%B4%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B8-%D0%B4%D0%BB%D1%8F-%D1%80%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%BF%D0%B8%D0%BB%D0%B0.jpg)
It must be remembered that for an interior door there is a gap of 5 mm between the leaf and the jamb on all sides, and at the bottom you can leave a slightly larger distance - 10 ÷ 12 mm.
Next, the excess part is cut off from the new canvas. The cut must be perfectly even and smooth, and this can only be done with a sharp and precise tool, which can be a hand circular saw. The cut is made using a special ruler, which is designed for use with just such a cutting tool.
![](https://i1.wp.com/stroyday.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%D0%9E%D1%82%D0%BF%D0%B8%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5-%D0%B4%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B8.jpg)
The saw is set to the required cutting height (usually with a cut of 45 mm) and the door is sawed off exactly according to the markings. If there is no special guide ruler, then you can carefully cut it with a circular saw without it, leaving an allowance of about 1 ÷ 2 mm - this will be necessary in order to then fine-tune the blade with an electric planer.
Installing hinges
When it is adjusted to size, you need to mark the places where the hinges will be attached. To carry out this process accurately, you need to put the old door on the new leaf and very accurately align them with each other. At the end of the new door, mark the areas where the hinges will be installed, focusing on the old door leaf.
![](https://i0.wp.com/stroyday.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%D0%A0%D0%B0%D0%B7%D0%BC%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%BA%D0%B0-%D0%BF%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8C.jpg)
In this case, marking the location of the loops is first done with a pencil, and then construction knife. The lines from the knife turn out clear, and it will be easy to make a selection along them when cutting out the recesses necessary for installing the hinges.
![](https://i2.wp.com/stroyday.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%D0%A3%D1%81%D1%82%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B9%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B2%D0%BE-%D1%83%D0%B3%D0%BB%D1%83%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B9.jpg)
Next, the door leaf is placed on its end, so that the side on which the hinges will be inserted is on top. Using a chisel (chisel), mark the depth of the future groove. The tool is placed on the lines marked with a knife, and it is hit from above with a hammer, observing the depth to which the cutting edge goes into the wood - it should go deeper by 2 ÷ 4 mm, depending on the thickness of the metal of the hinges (this can be measured in advance with a ruler or caliper) .
It is recommended to split the area designated for sampling into several fragments for ease of wood extraction. Next, the chisel is installed at a slight angle to the end of the door, with the beveled part down. and, hitting it with a hammer, the extra layer of wood is knocked out, forming the necessary recess.
![](https://i2.wp.com/stroyday.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%D0%A3%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BA%D0%B0-%D0%BF%D0%B5%D1%82%D0%B5%D0%BB%D1%8C.jpg)
The next step is to install hinges in the prepared recesses. They must be installed so that the plane of the metal plate is flush with the surface of the door end. If the metal of the hinge rises above the surface, then the recess needs to be deepened a little. If by chance the recess turns out to be somewhat larger than necessary, then a piece of thick cardboard can be placed under the loop.
When it has been achieved that the loop has entered the recess intended for it, like a “glove”, straight through its holes with a thin drill with a drill sockets into which it will be convenient to screw self-tapping screws. Next, the hinges are tightly screwed to the door, and then the canvas is fitted into the door frame opening. This fitting will show the presence of gaps and their size, as well as how accurately, without distortions, the canvas fits into the doorway.
If available hand router, then you can very carefully select the grooves for the hinges (and for the lock) using it.

Installing a Lock or Door Latch
- When the hinges fit well, you can move on to making holes for the handle.
- Location The castle is also marked by an old door. It is very important to measure the exact distance from the edge of the door to drill the hole. If it is not performed accurately, and because of this it has to be moved, then the appearance of the door may be hopelessly spoiled.
- If a new lock is installed, its kit often includes a special stencil through which the size and exact relative position all holes, but for control it is still necessary to take measurements.
- If an old lock is used for a new door, then all parameters can be taken from the old door.
- On the end side of the door, where the latch will come out, a hole is drilled using a chisel drill (“feather”), and on the main plane of the door this is usually done with a hole saw of the appropriate diameter.
![](https://i1.wp.com/stroyday.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%D0%9E%D1%82%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%80%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B8%D1%8F-%D0%B4%D0%BB%D1%8F-%D0%B7%D0%B0%D0%BC%D0%BA%D0%B0.jpg)
- After drilling the holes, the door leaf, if necessary, is decorated in the chosen method - this can be painting or staining followed by varnishing.
- When the paint (varnish) has dried and the place for installing the lock elements is ready, first installed and the internal mechanism with a latch is screwed on, and then the handles are mounted and secured.

Installing the door in its original place
To make it easier to put into place, you need to lift it from the floor to the required height and install a board (or several boards) of appropriate thickness under it.
![](https://i0.wp.com/stroyday.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%D1%83%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BA%D0%B0-%D0%B4%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B8-%D0%BD%D0%B0-%D0%BC%D0%B5%D1%81%D1%82%D0%BE.jpg)
- Then, the loops must be carefully aligned with each other and the lubricated rods must be carefully inserted into them, first in top loop, then to the bottom. The rods can, if necessary, be lightly tapped from above with a hammer
- If a different type of hinge is used, the door will be hung slightly differently. It is best to do this together, since at the same time you need to get the rods of that part of the hinges that are installed on the frame into the holes located on the “reciprocal” halves, screwed to the door leaf.

Complete door replacement - including door frame
If during overhaul apartment, it turned out that it was necessary to replace not only the door, but also the door frame, which means that we need to start dismantling the old door set. This task can be even less difficult than replacing only the door leaf, since the purchased new door usually already fits perfectly into its frame.
![](https://i1.wp.com/stroyday.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%D0%A3%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BA%D0%B0-%D0%B4%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B91.jpg)
There are certain standards according to which interior doors, single or double leaf, are produced. True, no one has canceled the possibility of individually ordering doors for openings of a different size or shape.

Removing the old door and frame
Dismantling the old kit is carried out as follows:
![](https://i0.wp.com/stroyday.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%D0%94%D0%B5%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%BD%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%B6-%D0%B4%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B9-%D0%BA%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%BA%D0%B8.jpg)
- As in the first case, the door leaf is removed from the hinges.
- Next, the platbands are removed as carefully as possible.
- The last thing to dismantle is the box. To make it easier to remove the frame bars, a through cut is made approximately in the middle of one of the sides. In this case, the box structure loses tension, loses its specified dimensions, becomes deformed, and can be easily dismantled in parts.
- Provided that the box needs to be preserved in its entirety, using a chisel and a hammer, the installed wedges are knocked out of the gaps between the wall and the jamb. At the same time, the thrust stress is also weakened. If the jamb bars are secured to the wall with nails (anchors, etc.), then you should try to carefully pull them out, and if that doesn’t work, saw them with a hacksaw blade or in another way, thereby freeing the frame.
- The box is carefully loosened using a pry bar and removed from the opening.
- After dismantling the box, the opening must be cleaned of old mounting foam, if present, of dust and dirt accumulated during the operation of the door.
Manufacturing and installation of the box
When starting to assemble the box, you first need to install hinges on one of its sides; this process is carried out simultaneously with installing them on the door leaf. The hinges are attached in the same way as in the first case, which was described above. After this, they begin assembling the door frame.
![](https://i1.wp.com/stroyday.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%D0%A3%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%BA%D0%B0-%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%BC%D0%BF%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BA%D1%82%D0%B0.jpg)
The joints of the box elements may have different connections- straight with one beam overlaying another, or end-to-end at an angle of 45 degrees.
![](https://i2.wp.com/stroyday.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%D0%A1%D0%B1%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BA%D0%B0-%D0%BA%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%BA%D0%B8.jpg)
The box is assembled according to the measurements taken, which can, for example, be taken from an old kit. Using a square to control the straightness of the corners, the elements of the box are set, marks are made if corners of 45 degrees will be cut. Then, using a miter box, the corners are sawed off, after which the box is laid out on the floor and knocked together with nails or fastened with self-tapping screws.
![](https://i0.wp.com/stroyday.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%D0%A1%D0%B1%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BA%D0%B0-%D0%BA%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%BA%D0%B81.jpg)

If the elements of the box are connected to the lining at a right angle, then they can also be knocked down with nails or twisted with self-tapping screws.
In both the first and second cases, the connection must be made very carefully, since the nails may inadvertently come out in a completely undesirable place.
When the box is assembled, the hinges are screwed to it and to the door, and the lock is installed, you can go in two ways. So, you can put the door on its hinges right away, and then install it together with the frame in the doorway. Another option is to install the frame first and then hang the door.
Video: Door installation step by step, with all the details
- If the first option is chosen, then the door must be locked with a key so that it does not open. Then carefully, without distortions, install the entire set in pr first, level it using a level both vertically in the longitudinal and transverse planes, and horizontally, carefully driving wooden wedges into the gaps between the wall and the frame to secure it.
![](https://i2.wp.com/stroyday.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%D0%A0%D0%B0%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BB%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5-%D0%B4%D0%B2%D0%B5%D1%80%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B9-%D0%BA%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%BA%D0%B8.jpg)
Then, you need to secure the box to the wall using anchors, drilling for them through holes in several places, two on each side.
Holes are drilled “under hide"so that the screw heads are recessed into the wood of the box. Then they can be disguised with special decorative covers, matching them to the color of the wood, or covered with a composition made from wood glue and sawdust.
![](https://i2.wp.com/stroyday.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%D0%97%D0%B0%D0%BF%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B53.jpg)
The resulting gaps must be filled with polyurethane foam, wait until the polyurethane foam expands and completely dries, after which excess composition, which protrudes from the gaps, you will need to carefully cut it off.
- In the second case, only a new box is fixed into the opening, it is also leveled, fastened with wedges and anchor elements, but at the same time it must be wedged with a wooden beam in the center - so that vertical racks did not bend in an arc in one direction or another.
Then, the gaps are also filled with polyurethane foam and left until the composition has completely hardened. After this, the door is installed on the hinges on the frame.
Now all that remains is to carry out the final step - install the platbands.
![](https://i2.wp.com/stroyday.ru/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/%D0%9D%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%BA-2.jpg)
The connection of the platbands at the corners of the door can also be of two types - end-to-end (used very rarely) or at an angle of 45 degrees. Correct angle on cladding panels It is also cut out using a miter box, and they fit exactly together.

It should be noted that you can save yourself from unnecessary problems with fitting the frame and the door to it, ordering the entire set as an assembly, that is, with hinges and a lock already installed, as well as a leaf fixed in the door jamb. Before making a purchase, you need to take exact measurements from the old set, and from them you can make individual order or purchase a ready-made model. The kit usually includes platbands of the required height and with correctly fitted connections.

Almost every novice master wants to learn how to install a plastic window himself. The advantages of such windows include not only operational characteristics, but also ease of installation. These designs are completed with fasteners and additional parts, so even a novice craftsman can install the windows with his own hands. However, in order to do everything correctly, you should take into account the existing nuances. First of all, it is worth noting that it is very difficult to complete the work alone, so it is recommended to hire an assistant.
Items that will be needed to complete the installation plastic windows:
- screwdriver;
- pliers;
- polyurethane foam;
- self-tapping screws;
- anchor;
- building level;
- plumb line;
- slopes;
- windowsill;
- low tides
Before purchasing windows, you will need to take measurements of the opening, taking into account the design. It can be with or without a quarter. Quarter openings are typical for foam block construction. It is worth knowing that such designs significantly reduce heat loss.
In an opening without a quarter, it will be necessary to order windows whose length is 5 cm less than the length of the window opening. The width should be 3 cm less than the corresponding opening indicator. 1.5 cm gaps should be provided along the contour, which will need to be sealed with foam in the future. You will need to leave 3.5 cm at the bottom for the window sill.
Windows with quarter and without quarter
Windows must be ordered by adding 3 cm to the width. The length remains the same. Insulation tapes It will be necessary to apply it not to the plastic frame, but to the place of contact of the quarters with the PVC window. The frame should be pressed against the quarters.
In an opening without a quarter as protective and decorative elements that can prevent the influence of external factors on technical properties polyurethane foam, external and internal slopes will be used.
It should be borne in mind that the larger the gap, the greater the consumption of expensive foam. If you want to save money, gaps larger than 4 cm can be partially filled with polystyrene foam or bricks. Gaps from 1 to 4 cm are filled exclusively with foam.
In most cases, windows are not placed in the middle of the opening, but retreating 1/3 deep from the outer base.
However, those who want to mount the window themselves can use options with an offset in the direction they need. This must be taken into account when purchasing a window sill and related accessories. You will need to add approximately 5 cm to the width, which will be calculated based on the placement of the windows.
Existing frame fixation methods
The technology for installing windows will depend on the material from which the walls of the structure are built, as well as on the dimensions of the windows. Based on these factors, you need to choose a method of fixing the elements.
You can secure the structures as follows:
- Fixation with dowels, which are inserted into the wall through prepared holes in the profile.
- Plates with teeth that will need to be pressed into the profile. The elements are not mounted into the wall, but installed sideways and fixed with screws. When installation is complete, foam it assembly seams and install slopes under which the anchor plates can be hidden. The space between the plane of the opening and the slope must be filled with foam. To reduce the consumption of foam, part of which will be used for additional leveling, a recess can be made under the plate.
The first method is considered the most reliable. It is used in most cases to install heavy window designs. If the fastening is through, the window will resist various impact loads that may arise, for example, when using windows with sashes that open in several directions. Anchors that pass through the frame will allow you to adjust the structure vertically and horizontally.
Fixing the frame when installing a window
For people who are interested in independently installing small plastic windows with double-glazed windows, the method of fixing them with anchor plates is suitable.
For installation of plates in an opening made of concrete or brick, it is recommended to prepare small recesses so that there is no need to apply an extra layer for leveling before installing the slopes.
In some cases, masters use both methods. The anchors are immersed in the walls through the side parts of the frame and the base of the structure, and top part fixed with plates. Instead of anchors, galvanized self-tapping screws are sometimes used.
Preparing the window and opening
The opening must be cleared of dust, debris and paint residues. If plastic windows are installed in an existing opening, then top layer need to be cut down. The foam will need to adhere firmly to this layer.
The gaps between the frame and the opening can be filled exclusively with foam.
To prepare the window, you need to do the following:
- We release the frame from the sash. To do this, you need to remove the pin, which is mounted in the upper loop. Next, you need to carefully pick it up at the bottom. The element must be lifted and removed from the lower loop. Double-glazed windows must be removed from blind windows. To do this, you will need to first remove the longitudinal and then the transverse beads. To remove glazing beads, you need to insert a knife or spatula into the gap, and then slowly move it away. It is worth noting that small window can be installed even without dismantling the sashes.
- The glass unit must be leaned against the wall at an angle, then placed on a flat base, which is covered with cardboard. It is not allowed to install the window flat, as cracks may appear due to the impact of stones.
- The protective film must be removed from the outer base of the frame. This will be much more difficult to do in the future, so it is recommended to remove it at this stage.
- Finally, you need to place a place for mounting fasteners. The recommended installation step for these devices is 40 cm. If you plan to use mounting plates, they will need to be attached to the frame in advance with self-tapping screws. Holes must be made for anchors or self-tapping screws, and the drill should be placed with outside frames
Window structure after installation
Sequence of actions for installing windows
The frame will need to be inserted into the opening. First you need to lay plastic corners or small bars around the perimeter. These elements will be needed to ensure technological clearance. The blades need to be moved slightly so that it is possible to clearly align the frame horizontally and vertically with equal slots. It is recommended to check the location building level. The blades must be placed close to the fixation point with screws or anchors.
Speaking about how to install plastic windows, it is worth knowing that installation can be done in several ways. Therefore, at this stage there will be differences. The sequence of actions will be as follows:
- It is necessary to screw into the opening of a wooden house through the recesses in the frame self-tapping screw. IN in this case There is no need to screw the fastener all the way.
- On foam concrete or brick walls Points must be marked through the recesses in the frame, then remove the frame and drill holes with a drill that matches the material. Then we put the frame in place and install the fastening element.
- There is no need to perform any complex actions when installing on anchor plates. They will need to be bent so that they adjoin the place that is intended for their fastening.
- The final fixation is carried out after checking the horizontal and vertical lines with a plumb line. There is no need to tighten the elements too much, as the frame may bend. Screwing should be completed when the head is level with the frame.
- Parts that have been removed will need to be returned to their original location. reverse order, and then check the functionality of the product.
- The gaps need to be filled construction foam. The seams are covered with protective tape. On the outside, the insulation tape must be recessed.
- You need to fill the gap under the drain with foam.
- At the next stage, the window sill is installed. The plastic structure will need to be inserted a few centimeters under the clover.
Plastic window
We will not touch here on the question of which window is better: plastic or wooden. If you are interested in the question of how to insert a plastic window yourself, then you have already made your choice. Let's consider just some aspects of installing a plastic window. So, to insert such a window, you must first assemble the necessary tool. This will significantly simplify the installation process itself, save your time, ensure the quality of work and, importantly, save the nerves of your neighbors (if you live in apartment building). So, you will need:
- hand saw for wood;
- nail puller, level and tape measure, metal scissors.
In addition, the following available tools are needed: sharp knife, hammer, durable garbage bags, broom and dustpan, water sprayer, can of foam. The work must be done in pairs with an assistant. Its role comes down mainly to supporting and fixing the window at the right time.
Before proceeding directly to installing a new window, it is necessary to dismantle the old one. There are two options here: keep it intact for some reason or immediately send the old window to the trash. In the first case, dismantling may take a whole day, in the second 20-25 minutes. Let's consider the second option.
We start by removing the sashes from the frame hinges. To do this, we pry them up from below with a nail puller, carefully remove them and place them on the floor. If you have a three-leaf window, then hand saw We saw through the middle pillar of the frame from below and, applying force in the lower part, we tear it out from above in a barbaric way. Then, using the same nail puller, we disassemble the window frame. The window sashes can be taken somewhere far away, but put what’s left of the frame nearby, it will be useful to us later.
Clear the opening from unnecessary sagging
The next step is to clean the window opening from any remaining cement, clay, old plaster, and so on. This is done using a hammer drill with a chisel inserted into it. It is worth noting that all actions must be carried out carefully so that the fragments from this process do not fall out, especially if the work is not carried out on the first floor. You can't do without an assistant here. After completing this work, remove all debris so that it does not bother you in the future.
To begin installing a new window, first remove the opening sashes from it, clean the outer part of the protective film (don’t forget!), prepare a drill for a 6 mm hammer drill, plastic dowels and self-tapping screws also 6 mm in diameter. Why 6 mm? Because usually the brackets with which the window is attached to the opening have holes for this size. If this value is different, then the fasteners must be selected accordingly. You will also need wooden inserts that can be cut from the remains of the frame. Their length should correspond to the width of the window. The remaining dimensions of the inserts in width and height can be limited to 20-25 mm.
With an assistant, being careful, we lift the window and insert it into the window opening, we lay our wooden parts (tabs) under the bottom of the frame in the amount of 4 pieces per evenly spaced from each other.
Bookmark lining
While your companion is holding the window, you use a level to set the vertical and horizontal positions. Having achieved correct location, bend the window brackets tightly to the opening with a hammer. Then, using a hammer drill with a 6 mm drill, we make recesses in window opening and inserts plastic dowels there. When all the brackets are in place, use a screwdriver to finally secure the new window. Next, as the experts say, you need to foam the gaps between the window and the window opening. This is done using polyurethane foam.
This operation is not as simple as it seems at first glance. But after a few tries you will master it. The only thing you need to take into account is not to release too much foam at once and start from the inside, as it were, and not splash it outside the gaps. Do not forget to wet the surface with a water spray before “foaming”.
Well finishing touch– low tide installation. It's not difficult. First, we try on the ebb in length. If its size exceeds the size of the window, cut off the excess using metal scissors. Next, using a screwdriver, we attach it to our wooden tabs. There is no need to drill holes in the ebb, since its thickness is small and a self-tapping screw can easily handle this.
That's all. The window is in place, we insert the sashes, put decorative caps on the hinges and enjoy the work done. In addition to moral satisfaction, you can use the money you save to buy yourself the necessary thing or sit in a cozy cafe. Having experience in installing plastic windows, you can easily install similar windows on the balcony and help relatives or a friend in this matter.
If you want to install plastic windows, but this price is not entirely pleasant for you, then you can save money by installing the windows yourself.
If you decide to start installing windows yourself, then you cannot do without criticism from outside, saying that this is the work of specialists, and what if you do something wrong and we will suffer from the cold all winter. Don't listen to anyone and get down to business!
The Internet is simply overflowing with information on how to insert windows and what tools will be needed during installation, so collect all the necessary tools (hammer, mounting level, drill, mounting gun, foam, fasteners). Decide on the date when you will install the windows and do the preparatory work in advance.
The preparatory work consists of: removing the windows from their hinges; if there are blind parts, then remove the glass and make holes around the entire perimeter of the frame for fastening the windows with anchors.
Have fun destroying old windows! Then clean the window opening from dirt. And now, finally, everything is ready for installation.
Ta-da-dam!... Drum roll! The time has come to insert the window. You need to insert it into the opening level (be sure to place the windows on a support profile, it must be included in the package), secure the entire structure with wooden spacers. When you secure the window, use a hammer drill to cut into the wall through the previously made holes, insert the anchors and stretch them.
Then wet the entire window opening with water and cover the frame with foam. 20 minutes after this, when the foam has dried, install the flashing on the screws and pour a little foam under the window sill. After installing it, place some weight on it to avoid uneven fastening.
Now install double-glazed windows and hang the sashes. Close the window and let the foam dry completely. Do not touch it for 24 hours so that the window is firmly attached.
The windows are ready! And wipe the nose of everyone who said that this is the job of professional installers.
Pain of various types in the spine, whether radiating to various parts of the body or not, raises numerous questions and concerns for those suffering from it. Back pain between the shoulder blades is a common occurrence, and its causes can be very different.
Description
Severe pain in the back between the shoulder blades when inhaling, raising your arms up, stiffness of movement in the upper part of the spine after sleep, burning in the chest area - these and some other signs should not be ignored, since the symptoms can be very serious signals for the development of dangerous diseases .
Most patients report discomfort in the upper spine in several cases:
- During pregnancy (especially in the third trimester).
- After sleep.
- When inhaling or exhaling.
- After hard physical labor.
- After being in an uncomfortable position for a long time.
At the same time, the nature of back pain can be completely different and it depends on what causes the pain and burning sensation.
Nature of pain:
- Aching;
- Sharp pain (with shooting);
- Severe pain or tolerable.
Usually, aching back pain is accompanied by a burning sensation in a certain place of the spine, usually at one point; there is a desire to knead, apply pressure, in order to finally remove the annoying sensation. Sharp pain in the back is accompanied by lumbago when inhaling and exhaling, turning the torso and head.
Causes of pain between the shoulder blades
Questions about why the top of the spine hurts, what are the causes of back pain, what to do if the back hurts between the shoulder blades, and how to treat are the most frequently asked questions to traumatologists.
So, let’s look at the question of why the top of the spine hurts, namely between the shoulder blades.
- Sedentary lifestyle, staying in one position for a long time.
- Neuralgia, that is, pinching of the nerve roots of the spine, occurs under certain conditions: “blown”, turned sharply.
- Curvature of the spine (scoliosis).
- Previous back injuries, vertebral displacement.
- Cardiological, neurological, urological and other diseases.
- Osteochondrosis and other diseases of the spine.
- Intervertebral hernia.
- Kyphosis and kyphoscoliosis of the spine.
- Spondyloarthrosis and glenohumeral periarthrosis.
- Various infectious diseases.
- Pleurisy, pneumonia, bronchitis.
Additional symptoms for pain between the shoulder blades
In addition, each specific cause of pain in the spine is accompanied by additional symptoms indicating that this fact is the cause of the pain in the upper back.
Additional symptoms may include the following:
- Crunching in the vertebrae of the thoracic spine;
- Spread of pain (radiation to the arm, leg, neck, etc.);
- Numbness;
- Shortness of breath;
- Arrhythmia;
- Wheezing in the chest;
- High blood pressure;
- High temperature;
- Pain in internal organs;
- Shortness of breath and difficulty breathing;
- Hemoptysis;
- Convulsions;
- Difficulty urinating;
- Pain in the chest.
Diagnostics
Since the causes of pain in the back can be very different, it is difficult to give answers to the questions of why the upper spine hurts, what to do, and what treatment should be.
Diagnosis of diseases consists of several stages:
- Examination by a doctor who conducts a survey, examines and prescribes tests.
- Taking tests, which may include blood tests, urine tests, sputum tests, X-rays, fluorography, ultrasound, echoEG, ECG and a number of others.
Back pain between the shoulder blades during pregnancy
If your back hurts between your shoulder blades during pregnancy, then, as a rule, this phenomenon is temporary and is associated with the following factors:
- Weight increases and, accordingly, pressure and load on all parts of the spinal column;
- The center of gravity shifts due to the rapidly expanding uterus;
- The load on all muscle groups, including the back muscles, increases.
More details
In such cases, there is no need to start treatment, since after the end of pregnancy all unpleasant symptoms in the back area should go away.
A pregnant woman can be advised to:
- Get as much rest as possible.
- Wear comfortable shoes and clothing.
- Wear a prenatal (and after childbirth - postpartum) bandage.
- Perform a daily set of exercises aimed at relaxing the back muscles.
- Distribute physical activity evenly.
- Get enough sleep.
- Dress for the weather.
- Spend more time outdoors.
- Avoid sudden movements, drafts.
- Eat right.
- Use orthopedic mattresses and pillows.
If all of the above did not help and your back still continues to hurt, then you should consult a doctor. Moreover, pregnancy is not the time when you can do anything on your own.
Treatment of back pain between the shoulder blades
After the test results are received, the doctor (and you will probably see a therapist first) determines based on them which highly specialized doctor to send you to (urologist, cardiologist, infectious disease specialist, endocrinologist, traumatologist, etc.). Only on the basis of the examination results obtained, a diagnosis is made and treatment is prescribed.
Treatment depends on what exactly caused the back pain. Of course, by all means they will try to solve the problem in a conservative way, resorting to drug treatment, massage, physiotherapy. However, there are a number of diagnoses, the treatment of which consists only of surgical intervention. If the cause of pain in the spine is an infectious process, then a long course of antibiotics is prescribed.
For orthopedic and rheumatological problems resulting in back pain, after diagnosis, treatment is prescribed, consisting of several long stages and aimed at:
- Relieving back pain;
- Removing the inflammatory process in the vertebrae and tissues;
- Eliminating the cause of back pain;
- Consolidation of the result;
- Carrying out a set of preventive measures to prevent recurrence of pain in the back and shoulder blades.
- Lifestyle changes (eating in accordance with a therapeutic diet, drinking plenty of fluids, physical activity, daily routine).
Treatment of back pain between the shoulder blades due to musculoskeletal problems
Painkillers for back and joint pain in various dosage forms ah, used to relieve pain:
- Injections;
- Pills;
- Ointments;
- Plasters (Baralgin, Capsicam, Fastum-gel, Bystrum gel, Voltaren, pepper patch).
Many of these drugs, in addition to pain relief, also have a warming effect, which has a beneficial effect on the affected area of the back: mobility improves, blood flow increases, and the feeling of stiffness and numbness after sleep decreases.
The inflammatory process occurring in muscles, vertebrae and tissues is stopped through a course of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, or NSAIDs. In the acute course of the disease, several dosage forms of one drug may be prescribed simultaneously, for example, it is possible to simultaneously administer injections (injections) and use ointments, gels, or use tablets and patches. It is not uncommon for a 10-14 day course of injections to continue a long course of taking tablets of the same drug. The most popular non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs prescribed for pain between the shoulder blades, caused by diseases of the joints and spinal column, are considered:
- Diclofenac.
- Indomethacin.
- Ortofen.
- And there are more of them expensive analogues(Ketoprofen, Voltaren).
The causes of pain in the back and shoulder blades are eliminated with the help of drugs that restore nutrition and metabolic processes in tissues and vertebrae. For this purpose, corticosteroids and chondroprotectors are prescribed. Chondroprotectors are a substance similar in composition to the structure of tissue and intervertebral fluid; vaccines with this substance (most often the composition includes hyaluronic acid) are injected into the joint or spine. Corticosteroids, which are based on hormones, help improve metabolism, thereby eliminating the causes of disorders in the spine and shoulder girdle.
The result obtained is fixed:
- Therapeutic gymnastics;
- Swimming;
- Physiotherapy;
- Therapeutic massage;
- Courses of vitamins and minerals;
- Preventive courses of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs during exacerbation seasons (spring and autumn).
During the treatment process, you should not ignore the therapeutic diet, which includes avoiding spicy, salty, smoked, starchy and sweet foods, alcohol and tobacco. Eating large amounts of raw or steamed vegetables, drinking plenty of fluids, fresh fruits and berries can not only replenish missing vitamins and minerals, but also reduce weight, the excess of which puts unwanted additional stress on the spine and joints.
A timely implementation of all these procedures will make it possible to achieve great success in treatment.
Conclusion
Thus, pain between the shoulder blades is far from a harmless phenomenon; the causes of its occurrence can be very serious and can lead to death or disability. Therefore, you should not put off going to the doctor and treatment.

Why pain in the spine occurred and what to do, what treatment to prescribe, can only be determined by experienced specialists. Treatment depends on the diagnosis; solutions to non-orthopedic diagnoses can be either conservative or surgical.
Treatment for orthopedic problems consists of taking NSAIDs and procedures that eliminate the causes that led to pain between the shoulder blades and back and consolidate the result.
Pain in the spine between the shoulder blades that occurs in a pregnant woman is a natural phenomenon in her position, although seeing a doctor in this situation is mandatory.
To summarize, we can say one thing: when wondering why your back hurts between the shoulder blades, look for an answer from qualified specialists who will help you understand the problem, eliminate the cause and prescribe effective treatment.

Spinal surgery to install metal structures
Spinal column injuries are not uncommon these days. Both older people and very young people have various kinds of problems with the spine. Modern medicine has long been armed with effective methods for treating fractures and injuries of the spine. One of the methods is an operation to install a metal structure directly on the bones of the spine. This is practiced in case of damage to the spinal column.
- Why can the spinal column become damaged?
- In what cases is an operation to install a metal structure necessary?
- Classification of metal structures
- Rehabilitation Tips
- Contraindications to removal of the structure
Today we will tell you how such a device can shorten the period of rehabilitation after injuries and how wearing it affects a person’s everyday life.
Why can the spinal column become damaged?
Eat large number reasons that can cause back injury. As a rule, this happens when there is excessive impact on one or another part of the spine. Among the common reasons:
- falling from a great height;
- impacts during collapse;
- car accident.
The most fragile parts of the spine are most susceptible to injury:
- lumbar;
- cervical.
This can lead to death or lifelong immobilization. But to understand the nature of spinal injuries, you need to know their classification.
The nature of the damage is as follows:
- mild bruises that do not require surgery because they do not leave behind severe clinical manifestations;
- injuries that occur as a result of degenerative processes of the intervertebral discs or ligaments. Requires surgery - the damaged structure is restored or changed;
- fractures of vertebral bodies, arches or processes;
- fractures or dislocations;
- dislocations and subluxations.
In what cases is an operation to install a metal structure necessary?
The cervical and lumbar spine are exposed to the following pathological processes during injuries:
- reduction in the diameter of the spinal canal;
- changes in the ligamentous apparatus and intervertebral disc of a degenerative-dystrophic nature;
- intervertebral hernia.
In these cases, prosthetic surgery is prescribed. The patient is fitted with special plates that stabilize the specified part of the spine and immobilize the part or segment.
This treatment method is widely used for various spinal injuries. Such an operation minimizes the rehabilitation period; the patient can soon return to his usual lifestyle.
Classification of metal structures
Thanks to modern technologies metal structures, used for operations of this kind, may have different sizes and shapes. They are classified as follows:
- when installing structures inside the bone canal (intramedullary osteosynthesis), solid or hollow rods are used, as well as intramedullary rods, both with and without locking;
- extramedullary osteosynthesis (installation of structures on bone) uses staples, screws and plates.
Compared to previous years, rehabilitation after such operations is quite fast.
Rehabilitation after surgery and its features
With any injury, the body needs to recover and this time greatly depends on many different factors.
Surgeries on the spine are among the most complex and traumatic, because it protects another important organ – the spinal cord. The rehabilitation period after spinal injuries can range from 2-3 days (hernia surgery) to several years (paresis, organ paralysis or spinal cord injuries).
And the wider the area of fixation of the vertebral bodies, the longer the rehabilitation period will be, including bed rest. During these operations, the dynamics of the body's recovery are monitored using x-rays, pictures are taken every week. During the same period, the specialist engages in physical therapy with the patient, speeding up the recovery period. In addition to physical education, the patient is prescribed physiotherapeutic procedures and massage of the limbs. Soon the person will be able to get out of bed and start walking. If your back hurts after surgery, you should tell your doctor. There is probably a need to change the method of pain relief.
To ease the patient’s condition after the operation and learn to walk with metal structures (fusion time is on average 3-4 months), he needs to wear a special medical corset. You will need to wear it for about a year, and the process of adaptation to a foreign design can last up to 2 years.
The measures already listed for the rehabilitation of the spine improve blood circulation and develop ligaments and joints:
- do exercises every day physical therapy. They help not only to restore the former functions of the back, but also to strengthen the muscles, and this, in turn, helps to significantly ease the load on the vertebrae by wearing a muscle corset;
- Massage your back regularly. This procedure will increase blood flow to the area of injury, and the more blood circulates in this area, the faster the spine will recover;
- quite popular and relatively old method rehabilitation is physical therapy. This method works through natural factors such as laser, ultrasound, cold, heat and magnets. This treatment helps improve blood microcirculation, develops the body’s regenerative abilities and has a beneficial effect in every possible way;
- Reflexology is a controversial method of spinal rehabilitation after surgery. It involves influencing certain points on the body and allows you to tone the muscles and increase blood flow.
It is very important to remember to take care of your sutures after surgery. If hygiene is not observed, the suture material will become an entry point for infection. This can provoke inflammatory changes and rejection of the installed material will begin. In such cases, deaths cannot be excluded. If the suture material becomes infected, the patient is prescribed a minor operation; in this case, the old material should be removed, the wound should be re-treated and sutured.
Why are metal structures sometimes removed?
The reasons why metal structures must be removed can be absolute or relative.
TO absolute reasons include the following:
![](https://i0.wp.com/dieta.lechenie-sustavy.ru/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/pokazaniya-k-provedeniyu-operatsii-2.jpg)
There are fewer relative reasons for implant removal:
- psychological factor or desire of the patient. Not everyone can calmly relate to the presence of a foreign body in the body;
- physical discomfort when the structure prevents you from doing certain actions or wearing clothes.
Contraindications to removal of the structure
If the patient asks the doctor to remove the structure, he must weigh the pros and cons of repeated surgery. The contraindications in this case are:
![](https://i0.wp.com/dieta.lechenie-sustavy.ru/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/iskrivlenie-pozvonochnika6-2.jpg)
After a period of rehabilitation, the restoration of lost functions begins, and in severe cases they can be restored at least partially. But remember that if the affected area is re-injured, it can cause more serious complications that will take longer to treat.
The older a person gets, the more joint problems he has. Perhaps the first places to feel pain are the knees. In their entire lives they experience one of the most high loads except for the spine. Although, for the sake of fairness, it is worth noting that in many ways, a person’s lifestyle also plays a decisive role. For example, athletes also often suffer from joint soreness. But in any case, everyone is interested in if they hurt knee joints How can you treat them?
What causes the problem and how can you deal with it?
Knee pain never just happens, it needs a trigger. Depending on what caused the discomfort, the treatment method will be selected. Therefore, in every case when the knee joints hurt, the patient needs to undergo diagnostics to clarify the situation.
Problems with the knee joints may arise from the following types:
- Osteoarthritis. This disease entails the destruction of cartilage tissue in the joint. In addition to the knees, it can also affect the feet, hips and hands. On initial stages During such attacks, the pain occurs with low intensity, and the pain appears from time to time, but gradually it becomes stronger, and the patient may notice that during such attacks a clicking crunch appears in the knee joints. The problem is treated with painkillers, massage, physiotherapy, swimming and a set of special gymnastic exercises.
- Rheumatoid arthritis. With this disease, in addition to pain in the knee joint, swelling and redness occur in the area of the affected joints, while they lose their mobility, making it difficult for a person to move.
