Adjust the plastic windows independently: Setup video tutorials

Despite the ease of use, design of plastic windows from time to time require maintenance: fixing of the mechanisms and regulation fittings. Plastic windowsEven from the most reliable manufacturer, may eventually work properly. In new buildings often this occurs because of the shrinkage of the house, so that the window sash can be loosely fitted to the frame. Furthermore, during a long opening and closing accessories worn and weakened. Knowing the basic rules, you can carry out the adjustment of plastic windows with their hands. On the Web you can find the video adjustment of plastic windows with their hands.

In the operation of plastic windows need to be adjusted

Adjust the plastic windows in the winter with his own hands

With a significant decrease in air temperature outside is necessary to carry out winter adjustment plastic window. Despite their integrity, the winter is possible blowing out cold air due to incorrectly adjusted the design of the mechanism. Professionals are advised not to wait for the onset of severe cold, and configure hardware windows on winter mode in advance.

Useful advice!By translating accessories to the desired mode, carefully review the instructions for adjusting the plastic windows in the winter. Errors in the wrong setting can result in damage to the entire structure of the plastic window.

Correct adjustment of plastic windows increases their service life

Set up the different modes is necessary due to the fact that in the summer to ensure the ventilation flap should be in the position of gapping to the frame. In winter, this ventilation leads to weathering hot air and lower the room temperature. By carrying out self-regulation of plastic windows in the winter, you will ensure a tight clamping of the window sash to the frame, and retain heat in the room.

It should be noted that not all window construction support seasonal adjustment mode. If there are special eccentrics (small metal cylinders) in the end of the window sash, equipped with a hole for Allen key and a groove for a screwdriver, then this design lends itself adjustment.

Correct adjustment of the windows provide a comfortable environment in the room

Configuring hardware windows in winter mode and ensure a tight clamping flaps, you will help to preserve the heat in the room.

Setting winter mode for new plastic windows carry out very carefully, since the fairly tight nip increases the load on the rubber seal, until damage. As for the windows, which are not operated the first year, they already have the seal wear and not so sensitive to the maximum load.

winter-summer mode: independent adjustment of plastic windows

Adjust the plastic window of "winter-summer" with their hands provides temperature control mode in the premises all year round.

With the arrival of the warm season, as soon as the heating in the house turned off, loosen the clamp and spare rubber seal from excessive pressure. During the summer the windows open more often, which in itself is also offloads the rubber seal.

Excessive load on the seal leads to premature wear and tear

Translation of the window construction in the summer mode of operation is carried out in the same manner as in winter, with the only difference that a mark that is available on the video, directed away from the window (on the street). Timely adjustment of the plastic window of "winter-summer" can significantly extend the life of window design.

If you do not switch to summer mode, the seal is too long to be under tension, which could result in loss of tensile strength and the necessary qualities. In this case it is necessary to replace it with a new one.

Replacement seal can be performed independently

To replace the old rubber seal is removed from the slot and insert to a new one using a regular screwdriver. At the same time it should not be much to pull. To seal served as long as possible, it is recommended every six months to process it with a special silicone gel.

Useful advice!When replacing the rubber seal, purchase original material as well as different models of plastic windows have a different shape and stiffness of the sealing rubber. Seal that does not match the profile, does not provide design should clamp.

Many manufacturing companies provide interim regime "Autumn Spring". In this mode, the sash tightly pressed against the frame, but without excessive force.

Point adjustment Plastic windows

Adjusting the clamping of the plastic window sashes

Clamp called the degree of density of the closing window. To control the density level, bring enough to the window, a lit match or candle. If you can see fluctuations of the flame, then at this point there is a gap. To make adjustment of the pressing means may be a plastic window eccentrics arranged at the ends of the perimeter. In order to achieve a snug fit sash cam shift to the right (clockwise) to loosen the clamping density - to the left (counter-clockwise).

To adjust the window suitable hex key

It should be noted that the position of the eccentrics on the perimeter must be identical. Change their position does not need more than 2 mm. This can be done with a wrench or a hexagon. In some types of profiles nip changes due to the latch mechanism located on the window side loops. In this case, if the tongue promoted - are firmly pressed, pushed - weak.

Manual self-adjusting plastic windows

If the window system sags fold or open it rubs against the frame can be made self-adjusting plastic window sash.

Usually sash sag occurs when the window is long enough in the open position or the sudden its opening / closing. If clatter vertical sash top or bottom of the return strap, one can eliminate the imbalance by adjusting plastic window hinges.

It is also possible to move the canopy by the lower window sash above or below. To do this, remove the decorative cap on a loop. There is a hole in which to insert the key. To lift the flaps turn the key clockwise to lower - spinning in the opposite direction.

The repair and adjustment of plastic windows

Some problems of plastic windows, you can correct yourself. This may be a situation when the window opens in two modes: in the airing and are able to "open". In this case, you should install PVC window handle horizontally, close the window and holding the flap, lift the handle up.

It is necessary to turn down the tab so that it is placed vertically, and then inject the handle into position.

In some types of fittings should be found with a spring plate disposed in the handle. This plate is necessary to press the rubber seal and turn the knob to the desired position. All these actions are doing a when the casement is in the upright state, otherwise it may work swivel-hinged lock.

To extend the life of key components of the window mechanism should be periodically lubricated

If the flap handle is opened with a certain force, there may be several reasons. This may be the mechanism of contamination and accessories, dry lubrication or an excessive force of a clamping mechanism.

To clean and lubricate the sash handle, it is removed, cleaned of dust and other dirt, brush by impregnation WD-40 and mounted in place. For convenience grease fitting cover used with the nozzle tube. Use the impregnation is recommended every time it adjusts the window.
