During the installation of the aluminum frame glass door, ensuring the verticality and sealing of the door frame is the key to ensuring the normal use of the door body and improving durability and aesthetics. The following introduces specific guarantee methods from multiple links.
The preparation work before installation is the basis for ensuring the verticality and sealing of the door frame. First of all, the door opening should be accurately measured and inspected. The height, width and diagonal length of the opening should be measured with a level and a tape measure to confirm whether the opening is square. The error should be controlled within a reasonable range. If there are problems such as unevenness and excessive size deviation in the opening, corrections should be made in advance. At the same time, carefully check the quality and size of the aluminum frame and glass. The aluminum frame should not be deformed or scratched, and the glass should not be damaged or bubbled. Ensure that the size of each component meets the design requirements. In addition, prepare the auxiliary materials such as sealing strips, sealants, expansion screws, etc. required for installation. The sealing strips should have good elasticity and weather resistance. The sealants should be waterproof, mildew-proof and have strong bonding strength to provide reliable protection for subsequent installation.
During the door frame installation stage, ensuring verticality is the top priority. Place the aluminum frame at the door opening and use a level and a vertical line to calibrate the position. First adjust the level of the aluminum frame to ensure that the bottom of the door frame is at the same level. You can fine-tune it by inserting a gasket at the bottom; then use a vertical line or a laser line projector to check the verticality of the side of the door frame to ensure that the door frame is perpendicular to the ground, and the error is generally no more than 2 mm. In order to fix the door frame, drill holes in appropriate positions and install expansion screws. The number and position of the screws should be reasonably determined according to the size of the door frame and the load-bearing requirements to ensure that the door frame is stable and does not shake. After each screw is installed, check the verticality of the door frame again to avoid deformation of the door frame due to uneven tightening of the screws. Through multiple calibrations and fixation, the door frame can be accurately installed vertically.
The treatment of the joints of the door frame has a significant impact on the sealing and overall stability. The aluminum frame is usually spliced from multiple parts. When splicing, ensure that the interface is tight. Apply an appropriate amount of sealant to the interface, then splice the parts together, and use special connectors to fix them to ensure that there is no gap at the joint. For the gap between the door frame and the wall, fill it with foam glue for preliminary sealing. Foam glue has good filling and elasticity, and can effectively isolate air and moisture. Fill evenly and fully. After the foam glue solidifies, use a utility knife to cut off the excess part to make the surface flat. In addition, sealant is required for secondary sealing at the joints between the door frame and the wall. The sealant should be applied evenly to form a continuous sealing layer to further enhance the sealing and prevent rain, dust, etc. from entering.
During the installation of glass, attention should also be paid to sealing. Before installing the glass on the inside of the aluminum frame, first embed the sealing strip. The sealing strip should completely surround the inside of the aluminum frame, and the interface should be tightly docked to ensure that a good seal is formed between the glass and the aluminum frame after installation. Place the glass smoothly into the aluminum frame, adjust the position of the glass so that the gap around the aluminum frame is uniform, and avoid affecting the sealing and aesthetics due to improper installation of the glass. Then use a bead or buckle strip to fix the glass on the aluminum frame. The bead should be installed firmly to ensure that the glass does not shake. Apply sealant again in the gap between the glass and the bead and aluminum frame to further enhance the sealing effect and prevent water vapor penetration and air circulation.
After the installation is completed, the verticality and sealing of the door frame need to be fully checked. When checking the verticality of the door frame, you can use a level or a vertical line to measure again to see if the door frame remains vertical. If there is any deviation, adjust it in time. For the inspection of sealing, you can observe whether the door gap is uniform, whether there is light transmission, and whether there is air flow when the door is closed, using a paper strip or smoke test method. If there is a gap or air leakage, use sealant to repair it in time. At the same time, perform a door opening and closing test to check whether the door opens and closes smoothly, whether there is any jamming or abnormal sound, and ensure that the door frame and glass are installed firmly and have good sealing.
In order to maintain the verticality and sealing of the aluminum frame glass door for a long time, daily maintenance is indispensable. Clean the door frame and glass regularly to avoid dust and debris accumulation that affects the sealing effect. Check whether the sealing strip is aging, deformed or falling off. If any problems are found, replace it with a new strip in time. For the sealant, if cracking or falling off occurs, clean the old glue in time and reapply it. In addition, avoid hitting or squeezing the door body with force to prevent the deformation of the door frame from affecting the verticality and sealing. Through regular maintenance, the service life of the aluminum frame glass door can be extended and its good performance can be maintained.
With the continuous development of installation technology, some new processes and tools have also provided support for ensuring the verticality and sealing of the door frame of the aluminum frame glass door. For example, the use of a high-precision laser measuring instrument can more accurately detect the verticality of the door frame, and the intelligent glue-spraying equipment can achieve uniform application of sealant and improve the sealing quality. In the future, with the application of new materials and new technologies, the installation process of the aluminum frame glass door will be more perfect, and the verticality and sealing of the door frame will be more reliably guaranteed, bringing users a better user experience.
