Change of window and door openings

When changing the internal layout of the house, sometimes there is a need to patch up or expand the window and door openings, as well as to arrange a new one. If a bearing wall to seal the opening, the thickness of the seams do minimal shrinkage to a new clutch was as small as possible. Lead to the laying of cement mortar. For bond strength in the old wall of hollow groove. When extending the vaulted doorway to prop up major vault jumper, and then select a brick for the new device toe. They are spread on cement mortar of high quality bricks. When the clutch foot hard, expand opening up to the required size. To penetrate into the room more light, you can instead of two small windows to make one great. To do this, with adjacent openings taken out a window box. The existing bridge stake and wedging. Mezhduokonny pier to unload the level of overlap, the beam resting on struts or braces. Then on both sides of the wall is placed steel beams-lining for the new bridge. From the outside walls are cut holes for the support beams and up to half the thickness of the walls cut the grooves in which are laid the new bridge. Then wedging a gap between the jumpers and the wall. After that do the same on the inside wall. Assort mezhduokonny pier, remove props and skew rack, are buried in a wall socket for props and set a new window frame. When remodeling homes often have to arrange new openings. Harder to make arches. If the width of the aperture not exceeding 1.0 m, the future vault jumper imps on the wall and choose bricks from the total space required for the arch. Very carefully cut off the clutch at his support base. It should be smooth. Under the arch arrange a template from the wet sand, covered with roofing paper. Then vault on the basis of support to the castle. The gaps between the arch and the upper clutch fitted close up to form the bricks for the mortar or concrete fill. Then disassemble the clutch to the opening under the arch and align its slopes. Much easier to arrange apertures with straight jumpers. If a narrow doorway, laying over it does not need propping up. As the bridge over the window opening, you can use reinforced concrete beams and steel rolling profiles. Straight jumpers installed in a specially carved into the walls of the grooves, first one and then the other side. Then the jumper firmly connect with the brickwork of the upper part of the wall and choose the aperture. If the old masonry firm, you can just pull up and align the side walls. When bad old clutch dismantled bricks for construction of new embankments. They are laid on cement mortar, tie with the old masonry. After that, choose a place under the support beams, cut notches and set the jumpers. In the thick walls of the bridge is no less than three reinforced concrete beams. On each side of the wall set on a ravine, while the inner is inserted between the bottom.
