Description

Technical area

The invention relates to a frame for a window or a door with a number of elongated frame sections, at least one of the frame sections having an elongated inner frame element for contact with a filling of the window or door and at least one elongated outer frame element for attachment to a reveal surface of a wall opening for receiving the window or the door, wherein a longitudinal axis of the outer frame element, the inner frame element and the frame section is in each case aligned essentially parallel to the reveal surface and a frame plane, and wherein the outer frame element is perpendicular to a number of adjustment elements along an adjustment axis the reveal surface is mechanically connected to the inner frame element in an adjustable manner via an adjustment section, so that a width of the frame section along the adjustment axis can be adjusted by the adjustment distance from a minimum width to a maximum width.

The invention also relates to a method for installing the frame in a wall opening.

State of the art

When installing a window, the frame is usually inserted into the window opening and using assembly aids such as Mounting pads and / or wedges, aligned and fixed in the opening. This is usually done on the left and right side of the window and is cumbersome, as every change in the wedge in one position always results in a correction in at least two to three other positions, so that the window frame has to be realigned every time in the window opening.

With a conventional replacement of a window, the frame of the new window must be approx. 1.5 cm smaller on each side than the existing, already plastered or wallpapered opening. This is necessary in order to place the window frame in the opening and to create a gap into which the required insulation material can be introduced after installation.

This has the visual disadvantage that this gap is still visible after the window has been installed and either has to be grouted with acrylic or glued or covered with unsightly cover strips. In the new building, windows are plastered right up to the frame after they have been set, so that there is no longer a gap between the frame and the surrounding wall. However, this is far too time-consuming when replacing windows. Up to now, for structural reasons, the lateral gaps have always been visible, which then have to be covered.

After installing a window frame, an insulating material (for example construction foam) is usually placed in the side gaps between the frame and the wall. For the connection to the masonry, a wide cover strip is then glued to the frame, which also covers the gap on the side. In addition, the connection of the cover strip to the masonry must be formed with an acrylic joint.

The pamphlet GB2120713A describes a frame arrangement for a shower door, with which a non-perpendicular alignment of an adjacent wall can be compensated for. The frame assembly includes a fixed frame member attached to a wall and an adjustment assembly. By means of the adjustment arrangement, an adjustable frame element can be shifted relative to the fixed frame element, so that a frame with an adjustable width results.

The pamphlet GB2294285A describes a door or window frame in which the width of one or more of the elongate frame members forming the frame is adjustable. This creates a frame with standard internal dimensions that can be fitted into a wall opening with non-standard dimensions.

The pamphlet GB2212541A discloses another adjustable door or window frame. An inner frame element is connected to an outer frame element via a number of screws in such a way that a width-adjustable frame results. According to GB2212541A the width of the frame is preset before the frame is installed in a wall opening.

However, it is still necessary to align the frames in the wall opening in a complex manner during installation. In order to achieve sufficient thermal insulation, it is also necessary to insert an insulating material around the frame that then also has to be covered in a complex manner in order to obtain an aesthetic appearance.

The thermal insulation of the frame itself is not addressed in the publications mentioned. Due to the adjustability of the frame width, the frames disclosed do not contain any airtight closed chambers like conventional non-adjustable frames made of plastic or metal. Therefore, the frames disclosed are unlikely to provide sufficient thermal insulation in accordance with today's energy saving requirements.

Technical task

The object of the invention is to create a cost-effective frame for a window or a door, particularly for replacing existing windows or doors, which can be installed quickly and easily and which offers high thermal insulation and an attractive appearance. Another object of the invention is to provide a simple and quick installation method for a frame for a window or a door, in particular for replacing existing windows or doors.

Technical solution

The subject matter of the present invention provides a frame according to claim 1 which solves the technical problem. The object is also achieved by a method for installing a frame according to claim 11. Advantageous refinements result from the dependent claims.

Description of the types of execution

A frame according to the invention for a window or a door comprises a number of elongate frame sections. An elongated body within the meaning of the invention is characterized in that it has a longitudinal extension along a longitudinal axis of the body which is substantially greater than any transverse extension of the body in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. For example, the longitudinal extension can be at least five times, in particular at least ten times, as great as the largest transverse extension.

The frame can in particular be a frame for a window, a French door, a house door, a side entrance door, an apartment door or an interior door. Suitable frame materials are, for example, plastic, wood, aluminum, a combination of wood and aluminum, a combination of aluminum and plastic or other combinations of the aforementioned materials.

In the simplest case, the frame sections are straight. For example, especially in the case of a rectangular frame, each side of the frame can be formed by exactly one frame section. Depending on the structural conditions, at least one frame section can be designed to be curved, for example in order to optimally fill a wall opening with at least one curved reveal surface.

At least one of the frame sections comprises an elongated inner frame element for contact with a filling of the window or the door and at least one elongated outer frame element for attachment to a reveal surface of a wall opening for receiving the window or the door. The filling can comprise, for example, a window sash, a window pane or a door leaf.

The frame section preferably comprises exactly one inner frame element and one, two or more outer frame elements. A longitudinal extension of the outer frame element or elements preferably corresponds to the longitudinal extension of the frame section. Due to these configurations, the frame can be constructed in a particularly simple manner.

The at least one frame section is preferably a frame section that is vertically aligned with its longitudinal axis in an installed state of the frame. In particular, two frame sections, which form the right and left sides of a frame in the installed state, for example, can each comprise an outer frame element and an inner frame element. An adjustable width of a frame section is particularly advantageous in the case of a vertically aligned frame spacing, which with generic frames primarily presents a problem with the horizontal alignment of the frame in the wall opening and the closing of gaps to the right and left of the frame.

The frame can comprise at least one frame section aligned horizontally with its longitudinal axis in the installed state, which frame section comprises an outer and an inner frame element, wherein this frame section can form an upper or lower side of the frame in the installed state. As a result, in particular in addition to a gap to the right and / or left of the frame, a gap above the frame can be closed by setting the width of the upper edge section accordingly, and / or the window can be closed by setting the width of the lower frame section accordingly in the case of a non-horizontal parapet, be aligned horizontally.

In the installed state of the frame in the wall opening, a longitudinal axis of the inner frame element, the outer frame element and the frame section are each aligned essentially parallel to the reveal surface and a frame plane. In the context of the invention, a frame plane is a center plane of the frame that lies parallel to a center plane of the window or door in a closed state. In the context of the invention, "essentially parallel" means that no exact parallelism is required, but rather slight deviations from parallelism of, for example, 0, especially when the frame is used to renovate existing buildings whose wall openings often do not have exactly perpendicular or horizontal reveal surfaces , 1 ° to 5 °, in particular 0.5 ° to 2.5 °, are possible.

The outer frame element is mechanically connected to the inner frame element by a number of adjustment elements along an adjustment axis perpendicular to the reveal surface via an adjustment path, so that a width of the frame section can be adjusted along the adjustment axis by the adjustment distance from a minimum width to a maximum width.

By adjusting the width, it is possible to align the frame in the wall opening without additional fasteners or alignment aids and to close gaps between the frame and the wall in the same work step. Furthermore, the frame can be clamped in the wall opening by further enlarging the width when the frame section is already in contact with the reveal surface and thus at least temporarily fastened.

The two frame elements are preferably made of identical material and / or in the same color, so that only a small edge is visible between the frame elements in the installed state.

The outer frame element can be inserted into the inner frame element or vice versa. When the outer frame element is inserted into the inner frame element, i.e. the inner frame element partially encloses the outer frame element, this visible edge is always parallel to an adjacent edge of the window or door, even if the reveal surface is uneven and / or not perpendicular. The outer frame element adapts to the reveal surface without any inclination becoming visible.

The adjusting elements are preferably designed to be so stable and fixed in the inner and outer frame elements so that they can be fixed by fixing or Fixing the frame in the wall opening, e.g. by tightening a frame dowel, cannot be damaged. For a sufficient mechanical stability, the adjusting elements can for example comprise a metal, in particular a steel, in particular consist of it.

The adjustment elements can be thermally conductive, for example if they comprise a metal, or thermally insulating, for example in that they comprise a plastic, in particular consist of it. Thermally insulating adjustment elements have the advantage that they cannot form any thermal bridges between the inner and outer frame elements which could impair the thermal insulation effect of the frame. In order to ensure both high mechanical stability and thermal insulation through the adjustment elements, they can, for example, comprise, in particular consist of, a fiber-reinforced plastic or a ceramic material.

The adjustment elements can, for example, comprise a number of screws which are rotatably mounted in the inner frame element about the adjustment axis and are held in a form-fitting manner along the adjustment axis and which each engage with their thread in a thread in the outer frame element, so that the outer frame element is opposite the inner frame element by turning the screws around the adjustment axis, as with a spindle drive, along the adjustment axis.

A particularly simple and quick adjustment of the width is possible, for example, by turning the screws with the aid of a cordless screwdriver.

The screws are preferably designed with a left-hand thread, so that the width is increased by turning the screws to the right, which enables intuitive operation.

The length of the adjustment path can be adapted, for example, by selecting a thread length of adjustment elements designed as screws, depending on the application, in particular depending on the gap to be expected between the frame and the wall opening.

The frame preferably comprises a number of covers with which the adjusting elements can be covered after the frame has been installed in order to prevent the width from being inadvertently adjusted. If the adjusting elements are designed as screws, their heads can, for example, in the inner Frame element be arranged sunk so that they can be covered with cover caps.

So that the adjusting elements are accessible even with fixed window elements without opening sashes, the adjusting elements can be arranged, for example as screws, under the lateral glazing strips or in the middle of the frame. As is customary in the prior art, the pane can also only be inserted after the frame has been installed, when it is no longer necessary to operate the adjusting elements.

If a plurality of adjusting elements is present, the width of the frame section can thereby be set differently at different positions along the longitudinal axis of the frame section. This makes it possible, for example, to close a gap between the frame section and the reveal surface even if the frame section and the reveal surface are initially not aligned parallel to one another, for example due to a non-perpendicular alignment of the reveal surface.

At least one cavity enclosed by the inner frame element and the outer frame element is preferably enclosed in an airtight manner over the entire adjustment distance of the frame section, that is to say for every adjustable width of the frame section. "Airtight" within the meaning of the invention means that the transport of air into and out of the cavity is slowed down so much that the air trapped in the cavity or another gas trapped therein results in a comparable reduction in heat transport in a transport direction perpendicular to the plane of the frame like the air chambers, this is the effect of conventional hollow-chamber window frames made of plastic. The cavity can, for example, be enclosed in an airtight manner with respect to one another by manufacturing the frame elements, in particular their contact surfaces, with a precise fit.

At least one elastic thermal outer and / or inner insulating means for reducing heat transport in a transport direction running perpendicular to the frame plane can be arranged, in particular preinstalled, on the outer frame element.

Due to the outer and / or inner insulating means and / or the airtight enclosed cavity, the heat insulating effect of the frame is significantly increased compared to previously known, in particular width-adjustable, frames, so that in particular current energy saving requirements can be met. The outer and / or inner insulating means can comprise, for example, an elastic assembly foam, a foam, a silicone, an elastic plastic and / or a rubber.

With commercially available frames that are not adjustable in width, it is relatively easy to achieve adequate thermal insulation, since all that is required is a static internal insulation, in extreme cases just one internal insulation, for example a core made of foamed plastic. In the case of a frame according to the invention, however, it is considerably more complex to achieve adequate thermal insulation, since one or more dynamic internal insulation means are necessary due to the mobility of the components of the frame relative to one another.

The arrangement of an elastic outer and / or inner insulating means on the outer frame element represents a particular challenge, since such an outer and / or inner insulating means can easily be damaged by mechanical loads. Both on an outer surface of the outer frame element facing the reveal surface and on an inner surface of the outer frame element facing the inner frame element, the insulation is exposed to high mechanical stress: on the outer surface due to possible friction along the reveal surface when the frame is inserted and / or by a excessive compression between the outer surface and the soffit surface; on the inner surface by friction and / or compression due to a movement of the outer frame element relative to the inner frame element and / or the adjustment elements.

The outer frame element and / or the inner frame element can comprise at least one thermal decoupling element for reducing heat transport through the respective frame element perpendicular to the frame plane. The decoupling element can, for example, comprise a section of the respective frame element made of a material with low thermal conductivity, for example a plastic or a wood. In particular, the entire frame element can consist of a material with low thermal conductivity.

The adjustment distance preferably corresponds to at least a typical gap between the frame and the reveal surface when installing the frame, the adjustment distance preferably being from 0.5 cm to 5 cm, particularly preferably from 1 cm to 2 cm, most preferably about 1.5 cm . By means of an adjustment distance adapted in this way, gaps that typically occur when the frame is installed can be avoided be completely closed. The adjustment distance is advantageously greater than a maximum deviation of an alignment of the reveal surface from a vertical or horizontal alignment of the reveal surface over the longitudinal extent of the frame section. In this way, such a deviation can be compensated for by setting the width of the frame section accordingly.

The cavity is preferably hermetically sealed at the ends of the frame section, for example by a cover and / or an inner insulating means, in particular a piece of swelling tape. This results in the advantage that the cavity can also be enclosed airtight on all sides if the frame elements are designed to be open at their ends, for example because open frame elements can be produced more easily at their ends, for example by extrusion, than frame elements closed at their ends.

The cavity is preferably sealed by at least one sealing means on a contact surface between the inner frame element and the outer frame element. The sealing means can for example comprise a coating of the contact surface and / or a seal attached to the contact surface, for example a rubber lip. By means of the sealing means, the cavity can be sealed off in an airtight manner despite the mobility of the frame elements relative to one another, without the need for a particularly high degree of accuracy of fit between the frame elements.

The sealing means is preferably arranged in a concealed manner between the frame elements in order to prevent damage to the sealing means by external mechanical effects and not to impair the appearance of the frame.

The at least one elastic thermal outer insulating means can be arranged on an outer surface of the outer frame element facing the reveal surface in the installed state for thermally insulating contact with the reveal surface, in particular along the entire length of the outer frame element along its longitudinal axis.

Preferably, the outer insulation is at least so elastic that it can compensate for typical unevenness of the outer surface and / or the reveal surface, for example with a depth of 0.1 mm to 1 mm, in particular from 1 mm to 3 mm, so that between the outer frame element and the reveal surface one with respect to a heat transport perpendicular to the frame plane insulating connection is created.

The frame can be connected to the soffit in a heat-insulating manner without the need for an additional work step, for example a foaming-up, by means of the outer insulating material, which can comprise, for example, a foam, a silicone, an elastic plastic and / or a rubber, and / or a rubber Gap, would be necessary.

A plurality of outer insulation means, for example a plurality of insulation strips arranged next to one another parallel to the longitudinal axis of the outer frame element and with respect to a direction perpendicular to the frame plane, can be arranged on the outer surface. An additional insulating effect can be achieved by means of air cushions enclosed between the outer insulating means.

Depending on the requirements for the insulation at the installation site of the frame, different external insulation means can be provided in terms of their material, their dimensions and / or their number in order to achieve a different level of insulation. As a result, a uniform frame with different external insulation means can be designed in a modular manner for different requirements.

In particular, the outer insulating means can be detachably connected to the outer frame element, for example by means of a clamp connection, so that the outer insulating means can be exchanged quickly and easily depending on requirements.

The outer insulating means can be liquid-tight and in particular also gas-tight in a transport direction perpendicular to the frame plane. Such an external insulating means, for example made of a closed-cell foam, can for example prevent rainwater or drafts from penetrating through a gap between the frame and the reveal surface into a building in the outer wall of which the frame is installed.

At least one cavity enclosed by the inner frame element and the outer frame element can be filled, in particular completely, by the at least one elastic thermal inner insulating means, the inner insulating means expanding automatically when the width of the frame section is adjusted from the minimum width to the maximum width. In order for the inner insulating means to expand independently, it can, for example, with a minimum width of the frame section in an elastically compressed state Be introduced frame section so that it automatically expands elastically to fill the available space as soon as the width of the frame section is increased.

The at least one cavity can be precisely one cavity or a plurality of cavities which can be connected to one another in a fluid-conducting manner or can be separated from one another.

Due to its elastic property, the inner insulating means, which for example comprise a foam, a silicone, an elastic plastic and / or a rubber, in particular consist of it, can fill the at least one cavity independently of the set width. As a result, in contrast to known frames with adjustable width, good thermal insulation is achieved regardless of the set width, as is necessary in particular due to specifications for energy saving.

The inner insulating means can be fastened, for example glued, to the inner frame element and / or the outer frame element. The inner insulating means is preferably fastened both to the inner frame element and to the outer frame element, as a result of which expansion of the inner insulating means is supported when the width of the frame section is increased. In particular, at least one inner insulating means can be attached to the inner frame element and to the outer frame element.

The frame can have a number of openings in the inner frame element and / or the outer frame element for filling in a thermal insulating fluid for, in particular completely, filling at least one cavity enclosed by the inner frame element and the outer frame element and preferably for filling a gap between the outer frame element and the reveal surface. The insulating fluid, which can be designed, for example, as an assembly foam, in particular as a polyurethane foam, can likewise achieve good thermal insulation regardless of the set width of the frame section. If the gap can also be filled with the cavity at the same time, this has the particular advantage that no additional work step is necessary to fill the gap.

The openings are preferably arranged in a region of the frame section that is upper in the installed state, so that the insulating fluid can fill the at least one cavity supported by gravity.

The frame can comprise a number of ducts in the inner frame element and / or the outer frame element which fluidly adjoin the number of openings for uniform distribution of the insulating fluid in the at least one cavity and preferably in the gap between the outer frame element and the reveal surface. The channels can ensure that a hollow space constructed at an angle, for example by support struts inside the frame elements, can be completely filled with the insulating fluid.

On the outer surface of the outer frame element, a number of retaining elements for holding the outer frame element on the reveal surface and / or for spacing the outer frame element from the reveal surface by a minimum distance necessary for an insulating effect of the outer insulating means can be arranged.

The holding elements, which can for example comprise webs, pins, points and / or claws, can prevent the frame from shifting along the reveal surface during installation, so that installation is simplified.

Furthermore, the holding elements can ensure a minimum distance, for example between 1 mm and 5 mm, between the outer frame element and the reveal surface, so that the outer insulating means is not compressed so much that it is damaged and / or its insulating effect is impaired.

The holding elements can be connected to the outer frame element in one piece, rigidly or detachably. the holding elements can, for example, be inserted and / or suspended and / or clamped onto the outer frame element. Detachably connected retaining elements can be exchanged quickly and easily, for example to modularly adapt a uniform frame to a material and / or a surface quality of the reveal surface and / or to a material and / or a thickness of an outer insulating means on the outer surface.

The outer insulating means can be partially arranged in a recess in the outer surface of the outer frame element. Due to an arrangement partially in a recess, for example in a groove aligned along the longitudinal axis of the outer frame element, the outer insulating means can particularly be reliably attached and protected from excessive compression that could impair the insulation effect.

The frame section can comprise a number of guide devices, preferably comprising guide grooves and guide pins, for guiding the outer frame element on the inner frame element along the adjustment axis. The guide devices prevent the frame elements from tilting relative to one another, in particular if a plurality of adjustment elements are adjusted unevenly, and the frame section is mechanically stabilized, especially if the frame section is set to a width close to its maximum width. For a particularly reliable guidance, a guide pin can be designed, for example, as a mushroom pin.

The guidance can also be ensured by a tight lateral fit of the frame elements in one another, wherein, for example, a number of outer guide sections of one frame element partially surrounds the other frame element.

In particular in the case of a long adjustment distance, for example from 1 cm to 3 cm, the outer frame element can comprise at least one guide projection which is partially enclosed by the inner frame element for guiding the outer frame element along the adjustment axis.

In order to enable the outer frame element to be inclined relative to the inner frame element, for example to compensate for a non-perpendicular reveal surface, the guide can be designed with mechanical play.

In addition to the outer frame element, the frame section can comprise at least one further elongated outer frame element, the outer frame element and the further outer frame element being arranged essentially parallel to one another and next to one another with respect to a direction perpendicular to the frame plane, and the further outer frame element by a number of further ones Adjusting elements along the adjustment axis perpendicular to the reveal surface is mechanically connected to the inner frame element in an adjustable manner independently of the outer frame element.

By means of the further outer frame element, the frame section can also be attached to a reveal surface, which has a step between an inner reveal partial surface and an outer reveal partial surface, on both reveal partial surfaces without a gap are brought up so that no additional filling of a gap is necessary in this case either.

The outer frame element and the further outer frame element are preferably constructed in the same way so that the frame can be produced from as few different individual parts as possible.

The outer frame element can have a greater longitudinal extent along its longitudinal axis than the inner frame element and thereby form at least one overhang over the inner frame element along the longitudinal axis, with at least one further frame section adjoining the frame section at a corner of the frame, a recess for receiving the overhang may include.

At the corners of a frame, the frame sections are usually connected to one another with a miter. So that no gap arises between the frame sections when the width of a frame section adjoining the corner is increased, the outer frame element of the frame section must have a greater longitudinal extent than the inner frame element. The longitudinal extension of the outer frame element should preferably correspond to an overall extension of the frame parallel thereto, so that the outer frame element at the corner is aligned with an outer surface of the adjoining frame section.

The outer frame element preferably forms a protrusion over the inner frame element at both ends, and the two further frame sections adjoining the frame sections at one corner of the frame each have a recess for receiving one protrusion each. This prevents the formation of a gap at both ends of the frame section.

The frame section, in particular the outer frame element and / or the inner frame element, can comprise a number of connectors for fastening a roller shutter rail, for example a number of recesses for clamping the roller shutter rail.

The frame section, in particular the outer frame element and / or the inner frame element, especially if it consists of a plastic, can comprise an integrated, for example U-shaped, metal core, in particular made of steel, for stiffening and improving the burglar protection.

1. a) Einsetzen des Rahmens in die Wandöffnung, wobei zwischen dem Rahmenabschnitt und einer Laibungsfläche der Wandöffnung ein Spalt mit einem Spaltmaß verbleibt, wobei das Spaltmaß kleiner als die Verstellstrecke der Breite des Rahmenabschnitts ist, und
2. b) Anpassen der Breite des zumindest einen Rahmenabschnitts durch die Verstellelemente zur Ausrichtung des Rahmens in der Wandöffnung.

A method according to the invention for installing a frame according to the invention in a wall opening comprises at least the following steps, in particular in the order mentioned:

1. a) inserting the frame into the wall opening, a gap with a gap dimension remaining between the frame section and a reveal surface of the wall opening, the gap dimension being smaller than the adjustment distance of the width of the frame section, and
2. b) Adjusting the width of the at least one frame section by means of the adjustment elements for aligning the frame in the wall opening.

Before insertion, the method can include setting the width of at least one frame section of the frame by means of the adjustment elements to an insertion width below the maximum width of the frame section. However, the frame is preferably delivered to the installation site already adjusted to the minimum width, so that the width does not need to be adjusted prior to insertion for the simplest possible installation.

With the method according to the invention, the width of the at least one frame section can initially be set so small or already set so small on the production side that the frame can be inserted into the wall opening in a simple manner, especially without tilting or jamming.

With the method according to the invention, the frame can be aligned after insertion. This is done by adapting the width of the at least one frame section, wherein in particular the width can be increased to such an extent that the outer frame element of the frame section is supported on the reveal surface. Then the frame can be moved along the adjustment axis in the wall opening by further enlarging the width of the frame section or of an opposite frame section. By adapting the width, the frame can be centered in the wall opening and the gap between the outer frame element and the reveal surface can be closed in a single work step.

If the frame section comprises a plurality of adjustment elements, the outer ones are preferably designed for alignment and fixation without the intermediate adjustment elements interfering with it. For this purpose, the middle adjustment elements can be used subsequently, for example after alignment with the outer adjustment elements, in order to adjust the frame in the To fix wall opening. Alternatively, all adjustment elements can be adjusted one after the other.

The frame section is preferably at least one frame section which is vertical when the frame is installed, in particular two vertical frame sections which preferably form the right side and the left side of a rectangular frame when the frame is installed. As a result, the steps involved in the prior art of centering the frame in the horizontal direction and filling in the gaps to the right and left of the frame can be replaced by the inventive adaptation of the width.

Additionally or alternatively, the at least one frame section can also comprise at least one horizontal frame section. Analogously to the horizontal alignment of the frame, a vertical alignment of the frame and a closing of a gap in the installed state above the frame can be effected by adapting the width of the upper and / or lower frame section.

The method can include increasing the width of the at least one frame section by means of the adjustment elements for frictional fixing of the frame on the reveal surface. If the width is increased further when the outer frame element and an opposing frame section are already in contact with the respective reveal surface, the frame is thereby clamped in the wall opening with a force fit.

The enlargement can in particular take place in the same work step as the adaptation, so that the frame is fixed in a non-positive manner immediately after the adaptation. As a result, the installation can take place particularly quickly and without the risk of the frame moving unintentionally after the adjustment.

For example, in order to protect an external insulating means on an outer surface of the frame from being excessively compressed, enlarging can also be dispensed with.

The method can include fastening the frame in the wall opening by means of positive fastening means, for example screws and / or frame dowels. This fastening can be carried out as usual in the case of previously known frames.

The method preferably comprises applying an adhesive to an outer surface of the outer frame element of the frame section facing the reveal surface in the installed state and / or to the reveal surface, preferably before insertion. With the aid of the one-component or two-component adhesive, for example, the frame can be bonded to the reveal surface so that the frame is held securely in the wall opening, in particular without a form-fitting fastening means. This is particularly advantageous when the wall opening, as is often the case with modern houses, is delimited by filigree hollow-chamber bricks with a high thermal insulation effect, the cavities of which are enclosed by a thin layer of material, for example with a thickness of only 3 cm, in which screws are located or dowels are badly attached.

The adhesive can reduce heat transport perpendicular to the frame plane between the outer frame element and the reveal surface and / or seal a gap between the frame element and the reveal surface in a liquid-tight, in particular gas-tight manner. The adhesive can thus supplement or replace an external insulating means on the external frame element.

In the process, the frame can be fixed in the wall opening in a force-locking and / or material-locking manner. In particular, the method can take place without a material connection of the frame to the reveal surface, as would result in the prior art, for example, by filling a gap between the frame and the reveal surface with assembly foam. Because there is no material connection, the frame can be released from the wall opening again without damaging the frame or the reveal surface by reducing the width of at least one frame section and / or removing the form-fitting fastening means. As a result, the frame can be exchanged for another frame particularly easily and quickly and / or reused at another location.

Preferably, an outer insulating means of the outer frame element or the outer frame element itself of the frame section rests against the reveal surface without a gap after the adaptation. This eliminates the additional work step required in the prior art of filling and / or covering the gap between the frame section and the reveal surface. In particular, no additional cover strips are required that would have to be laboriously cut to length and miter and adapted.

For a visually particularly attractive connection of the frame section to the reveal surface, after adapting the width and, if necessary, increasing the width and fastening the frame, an attachment of a Sealing compound, for example an acrylic seam, take place at an angle between the frame section and the reveal surface.

The method can include filling in a thermal insulation fluid to fill at least one cavity enclosed by the inner frame element and the outer frame element of the frame section and preferably to fill a gap between the outer frame element and the reveal surface through a number of openings in the inner frame element and / or the include outer frame member. The at least one cavity and preferably also the gap can be filled in a thermally insulating manner by the insulating fluid, for example an assembly foam, so that the frame section, in particular if it does not contain any other insulating material, provides a high level of thermal insulation.
