Definitions
- the present invention relates to a roof window refurbishment system, comprising a roof window having a stationary frame with a top frame member, a bottom frame member, and two side frame members defining a central opening, and, placed within the stationary frame, a sash with sash members carrying a pane, in which each frame member of the stationary frame has an inner side facing the central opening, each of said inner sides having an exterior portion and an interior portion, the refurbishment system further comprising a set of capsules adapted to be connected to the frame members of the stationary frame in a mounted condition.
- the invention furthermore relates to a method for refurbishing a roof window.
- the sash and window pane may be obsolete quicker than the stationary frame.
- the stationary frame may also be worn prematurely.
- One problem associated with keeping an old stationary frame is that it may often be damaged due to normal indoor activities throughout the life time of the window.
- the stationary frame of a window is traditionally made from wooden frame members or polyurethane members optionally with a wooden core. Hence, the stationary frame will after some years be worn down and it may be increasingly difficult to keep the stationary frame clean and maintain in a mint condition.
- a refurbishment system of the kind mentioned in the introduction which is furthermore characterised in the set of capsules comprises a top capsule having a closed surface and an exposed surface, adapted to be mounted on the top frame member with the closed surface facing the top frame member and the exposed surface facing the central opening, and has an interior section such that the top capsule covers the interior portion of the inner side of the top frame member in the mounted condition.
- a bottom capsule having a closed surface and an exposed surface, adapted to be mounted on the bottom frame member with the closed surface facing the bottom frame member and the exposed surface facing the central opening, and has an interior section such that the bottom capsule covers the interior portion of the inner side of the bottom frame member in the mounted condition
- two side capsules each having a closed surface and an exposed surface, each adapted to be mounted on respective side frame members with the closed surface facing the respective side frame member and the exposed surface facing the central opening, and each has an interior section such that each side capsule covers the interior portion of the inner side of a respective side frame member in the mounted condition, and that at least one of the capsules has an exterior section adapted for covering at least part of the exterior portion of the frame member and/or a sash member in said mounted condition.
- the set of capsules provides an excellent opportunity to refresh the appearance and cleanability of the stationary frame, and may be provided to either match the finish and colour of the sash, or to provide a contrast thereto. Consumers may be interested in being able to refurbish their window, either by simply refreshing the appearance of scratched or faded frame members, or by also replacing the sash of the old window and keeping the existing frame, now refreshed, thereby prolonging the life time of the window and minimizing the work of the contractor. As the stationary frame of the window is maintained, the frame may function as an installation frame, thus rendering the mounting simple. This applies both when the refurbishment system comprises only the set of capsules, and in the case in which also a replacement sash is provided with the system.
- the advantages are particularly present in roof windows, in which installation takes place in an inclined roof.
- capsule should be understood as an interior cladding adapted to encapsulate and cover an interior portion, i.e. a portion facing the interior of the building, of the roof window.
- the set of capsules of said refurbishment system comprising at least one of the following: a top capsule, a bottom capsule and two side capsules, each of which having a closed surface and an exposed surface, adapted to be mounted on the frame member with the closed surface facing the frame member and the exposed surface facing the central opening, such that the capsule covers the interior portion of the inner side of the frame member in the mounted condition.
- a closed position of the sash means a position in which the plane defined by the stationary frame and plane defined by the sash coincide, that is form an angle of no more than a few degrees with each other.
- an open position of the sash as used herein generally means a position in which the sash is tilted about the pivot hinge axis such that the stationary frame plane and the sash plane no longer coincide.
- the exterior portion and the interior portion of the inner sides of the frame members can be defined by the imaginary plane defined by the surface of the sash which faces the interior when the window is in the installed condition. That is, for a roof window installed in an inclined surface and when the sash is in the closed position, the exterior portion of the frame members will be above this plane and the interior portion of the frame members will be positioned below.
- frame it is to be understood as including referring to a stationary frame carrying a sash.
- stationary frame and frame are used interchangeably.
- to cover is to be understood as extending over a component of the window without necessarily being in contact in order to protect or conceal it its entirety.
- the capsule covers an interior portion of a frame member it should be understood that it may be in contact but should not be limited thereto, as the contour of the capsule does not have to correspond to that of the interior portion of the frame member.
- the capsules are adapted to cover the interior portion of the inner side of the frame members it is possible to provide a complete makeover to an old frame and thereby extending the life time of the stationary frame. Furthermore, as the capsules are not limited to the shape or material of the original frame, they may provide new functionalities to be added to the window by enabling the use of various materials or shapes.
- At least one of the capsules also covers at least a part of the exterior portion of the frame member to which the capsule is to be mounted, such that the capsule forms an interior section adapted for covering the interior portion and an exterior section adapted for covering at least part of the exterior portion.
- the capsule may also cover at least part of the exterior portion of the inner side of the frame member, thereby giving the frame member a cleaner look when the sash is in the open position.
- each capsule of the set of capsules of said refurbishment system covers the interior portion and at least part of the exterior portion.
- the interior section has a thicker profile relative to the exterior section.
- the capsule becomes more durable and will appear more solid to the end user i.e. higher quality in the eyes of the consumer. While this advantage is also sought after in the exterior section, the exterior section cannot be made so thick that the sash of the window cannot fit in the central opening which will have slightly reduced dimensions as a result of mounting the capsules.
- the exterior section comprises a groove, said groove being adapted for holding a seal.
- At least one of the capsules further comprise a first and a second end, wherein the ends are provided with flexible flanges adapted for engaging the frame member to provide a snap lock.
- the process of mounting the capsules on the frame members may be facilitated such that it may be performed by a person with limited expertise.
- the first and the second end may both be positioned in the interior section of the capsule so as the capsule only covers the interior portion of the inner side of the frame member or in another embodiment having one end in the interior section and a second end in the exterior section of the capsule.
- At least one of the capsules are made from at least two separate pieces. This is particularly advantageous in the embodiments in which the capsule or capsules is/are formed to cover an exterior portion of the frame member.
- the length of a frame member may in some cases be relatively long, it may be difficult for a single person to mount a capsule having the same length as the frame member on which it is to be mounted.
- the process of mounting the capsule on the frame member may be made easier for a single person, as the person may mount the capsule in steps.
- At least one of the capsules further comprises an adhesive material arranged on the closed surface.
- At least one of the capsules are adapted to create a hollow cavity between the capsule and the interior portion of a stationary frame member when mounted on said frame member.
- contour of the capsules to differ from the contour of the original frame, such as to provide a more aesthetically pleasing and/or interesting look as the new surface provided by the exposed surface of the capsule may be more modern than the original and optionally may be asymmetrical by providing capsules with exposed surfaces with different contours.
- At least one of the capsules are made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC).
- PVC allows the capsules to be made thin without compromising the durability and structural integrity of the capsule profile.
- the capsule should be thin such that the dimensions of the central opening are not reduced so much, that the sash can no longer fit therein.
- the thin profile also makes the process of mounting the capsules on the frame members easier as the capsules will be lighter and therefore easier to handle.
- Other conceivable materials include stainless steel, aluminium, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and polyethylene (PE).
- system further comprises a corner cover adapted to connect two adjacent capsules at a frame corner, by being mounted on two different frame members so as to give the refurbished window a nice finish and to avoid that dirt may access a corner of the stationary frame, which is difficult to clean.
- the refurbishment system further comprises at least one further component selected from the group comprising a frame part of a pivot hinge, a frame covering, a frame cladding, a top casing, a striking plate and insulation elements.
- the insulation element may be adapted to fit in the hollow cavity between the capsule and the interior portion of a stationary frame member. By providing insulation for the cavity formed between the capsule and the frame, the overall insulation properties may be improved.
- the sash is fixedly connected to the stationary frame in the mounted condition, and wherein the exterior section of at least some capsules of the set of capsules covers the sash member in said mounted condition.
- the sash may thus advantageously be fixated to the frame and both the frame and sash covered by the set of capsules to provide the window with a customer desired seamless finish.
- the set of capsules form a coherent capsule frame, preferably also comprising a groove adapted to receive a screening device.
- the refurbishment system comprises a replacement sash.
- the invention in a second aspect, relates to a method for refurbishing a roof window having a stationary frame and a sash, comprising the steps of: a) providing a refurbishment system according to the first aspect of the invention, b) preparing the roof window for refurbishment, and c) mounting the refurbishment system to the stationary frame.
- the refurbishment is carried out in a number of simple and logical steps so as to allow a person with limited expertise to upgrade the window.
- the method makes the method more cost efficient for the consumer.
- step c) includes the steps of: I) mounting a side capsule on an interior portion of the inner side of the side frame members, II) mounting a capsule on an interior portion of the inner side of the bottom frame member, and III) mounting a capsule on an interior portion of the inner side of the top frame member.
- step a) includes providing a replacement sash
- step b) includes removal of the existing sash
- step b) includes fixedly connecting the sash to the stationary frame, and further comprising a step d) of connecting the exterior section of the set of capsules to the sash.
- step a) includes the provision of at least one further component selected from the group comprising a frame part of a pivot hinge, a frame covering, a frame cladding, a top casing, a striking plate and an insulation element
- step b) includes the respective steps of: removing the striking plate, and/or removing the frame parts of the pivot hinges, and/or removing the top casing, and/or removing sides and bottom frame coverings, and/or removing frame claddings.

- Figs 13 and 14 show two different side capsules 120 for the refurbishment system, wherein the sash 3" is fixedly connected to the stationary frame 2.
- the refurbishment system will comprise two symmetrical side capsules 120 adapted to be mounted on opposite side frame members 100 of the stationary frame 2.
- the side capsule 120 shown in Fig. 13 is similar to the top 320 and bottom capsules 220 shown in Figs 11 and 12 , wherein the closed surface 121 of capsule 120 covers the interior portion of the sash 3" and frame member 100.
- Fig. 14 shows a side capsule 120 of a refurbishment system of another embodiment of the invention.
- the side capsule 120 differs from the one shown in Fig. 13 in that the side capsule 120 comprises a groove 128 formed along the length of the side capsule 120, preferably in parallel with the plane of the pane (not shown).
- the groove 128 is adapted to accommodate the edges of the screening device of a screening arrangement, such as a roller blind.
- the side capsules 120 may follow the contour of the sash 3" and the frame member 120. However, for a seamless finish it is preferred that the capsule does not follow the contours of the exterior portions of the sash and frame member over the entire length of the capsule.
- the method of refurbishing a stationary frame should be simple so a person with limited expertise within the field of window installations can carry out method for refurbishing the window.
- the invention provides both a method for refurbishing a roof window installed in a roof structure and having a stationary frame and an existing sash, in which a step of preparing the roof window for refurbishment is included.
