Adjust the plastic windows independently: a guide mode

For plastic windows easy to care for. You can wash, self-regulate, replace parts. That is why they have become so popular. And due to the fact that PVC plastics are durable and resistant to damage. The price range there must exist an acceptable option. Customers can also select the desired pattern and nearly any configuration of the opening mechanism. The windows also provides regulatory function is not summer and winter. Adjusting plastic windows is carried out in several planes. The initial state is lost after multiple opening the valves, however, to return everything in place, you can with just a few movements of the tool. Understand the fitting elements of the power of even inexperienced person. In addition, the hardware can be replaced by a new one. Substitution is also not difficult. The design of the result will last for many years.

The causes of reduced performance insulating glass PVC

The efficiency of the window structure can be reduced in the space below the window sill. In most cases is broken seal. The reason for this phenomenon lies in the sealant, so that a fairly simple replacement with a new, more qualitative. Working capacity is reduced due to the lack of options for the season. In winter, for example, the structure is compacted shift elements closer to each other. Sometimes, the reason lies in the damage of the window opening, or rupture of an assembly seam. Then, the air enters from the slots and is on a slope. Blowing from all four sides of the frame, probably indicates the factory marriage. The deterioration of the valves also has an impact. Long stay heavy canvases in the open position leads to sagging. They are not designed on the additional burden in the form of hangers with clothes. The state of the valves depends on the quality of installation.

It is time to respond to the problem of the friction wings!

When adjustment is necessary plastic windows

You need to adjust the position when changing the valves. And it is done independently. It needs outside help in more complicated situations. For example, when a strong sound with a specific manipulation with the slats. The adjustment is carried out as planned. In addition to the middle position "demi" provides setting for the summer / winter mode design. glass in the summer can quickly fog up on both sides, especially after rains. Therefore, the adjustment is made for the summer. When the house / apartment is not free for several weeks or more, a summer mode will provide better air circulation, especially in the position of the handle "micro-ventilation." Before the winter the temperature drops dramatically and the room gets colder. Then the following correction, which provides more dense adjunction to the box flaps. Moving parts of fittings should be lubricated regularly.
And it can be done using:

• silicone grease;
• machine oil;
• petroleum jelly.

The apparatus arrangements and their features

Different windows mechanisms and their regulation is slightly different. It concerns the number and location of eccentrics. Some models of the journal boxes are placed on the perimeter of the canvas: above, below, on the hinge side. For turning pins at the upper edge is necessary to open the flap, and turning the knob to set the flap as when winding. That is need to carry out a so-called "opening in the rotational position of the window at an angle." As a result, the cam will be available in the scissor mechanism window. In some journals a few notches. On the other they do not exist or there is only one.

Summer-winter position determined by the interval between the edge pins and the seal or the distance to the boundary of the metal fittings. If there is a slight furrow, then the year setting it "looks" straight up or down.

Seasonal adjustment: winter and summer mode

The window construction can be adjusted clamping flaps. window mechanism allows for independent adjustment. Before the start of the warm season box translated into summer mode. This improves ventilation. Before the start of snowfall and frost nip should be strengthened, and the level of contact pressure check badged match. If the wind will leak, the flame kolyhnetsya. Migrating between summer and winter modes is done on the influence of unions. Maximum clamping can be achieved with hexagon № 4. If the pin is smooth, then it moves away first sheet, and then made a turn details. Windows systems from different manufacturers are adjusted differently. Sometimes it is necessary tightening screws, and in some cases - the removal of the sash. At the same manufacturer's hardware windows can be from different manufacturers, so you should read the instructions on adjusting it.

Setting should be planned and carried out in advance, so you do not forget about it all.

Self-adjustment for different faults

Most often:

1. Adjust the clamp.
2. To eliminate bias.
3. Adjust the knob.
4. Adjust the striker plates.
5. Eliminate blowing.

These problems are corrected in most cases independently and without difficulty. Adjustment of the opening sections in the space through the loops and can be eccentric. The tool for the job - a Phillips head screwdriver. With it are governed almost all the mechanisms of the window. The problem with closing the window, too, is solved by adjusting the hinges. The easiest way to adjust and change the handle. Already in appearance handle mechanism and related accessories intuitively how to do it.

Purging can mean density reduction flaps abutting the frame and the structural nature of the problem, for example, air leakage under the sill or slopes. This is a serious defect. The problem with the fittings and seal corrected polyhedron, a screwdriver or manually. But in the case of wear and tear - need new parts.

Adjustment of the horizontal and vertical position using hinges

Sash window load test with a different vector and gradually lose their uniform position. Slight deviations are not a serious problem, because to expose paintings perfectly straight is impossible in principle. Deviation of 1 millimeter to the height of a meter is absolutely acceptable. If an obvious bias or interfere with the functioning of the construction - the necessary adjustments. Produce can be yourself - a tool only need a Phillips head screwdriver. Adjusting the blades on a vertical determines the height of the placement. Horizontal adjustment is provided for raising descended edge due to the movement in the direction of the loop. The need for it arises at regular intervals. The flaps can be adjusted frontally. This is fundamentally important for longer life, because uneven pressing of the frame greatly increases the load on the shutter. Especially, if the contact is less dense at the top.

wings adjustment types:

• vertical;
• horizontal;
• front (including the pressing density).

Reduce the load on the structure with an open flap by using limiter.

upper

Adjusting the upper loop structure is needed if there are problems with closing the top corner. In this case, open the shutter and set it at a right angle to the frame - when a different position would be inconvenient to work. It needs to act on the adjustment hardware. Rotate its Allen, closer to the edge with a loop, or alienate, if not closed long eccentrics. Between the window pane and the loop must always be a gap in a couple of millimeters, not less. The clearance required for the movement swing-out mechanism. Therefore, after each half-turn check opening / closing windows. If this does not fix the problem with the upper corner, then presses it to the box. Follow-up is performed by the screw on the swing-out construction. Access to it is provided by opening windows in the two positions. Before the application of the screw will move the lock.

lower

Initial setting for the subsequent installation of accessories starts from exhibiting sash vertically. In connection with this need with the lower loop. Produced raising and lowering of a few millimeters. Raising the sash on the vertical axis as necessary if there was a draft near the upper or lower edge. You can work both in the open and in the closed window. Thus, to contact with the right screw (above the lower hinge) required to remove a protective cap. PVC window can not close below or have a bias. Then proceed to adjust the horizontal. For movement to / from the first hinge leaf is opened. The lower hinge part there is a hole for adjusting hexagon or an asterisk. Clockwise rotation closer to the web site and raise the loop hanging angle. Counter-clockwise motion carried, if the flap was drawn too close.

Elimination of the frame bevel

The situation regulated in the loop nodes Allen, at least - an instrument with a different profile. Allen key is inserted into the hole of the upper fitting at the open position of the window. Clockwise movement will lift the bottom flaps in a corner opposite the hinge side. Reverse the direction of movement will remove the canvas, resulting in bottom on the far side is lowered. To work with the lower loop is necessary as well. Height adjustment is made on the bottom of the loop. Right movement of the hexagon will raise the flap, and the left - will lower. The bevel appears in the windows with broad frames (greater than 1 meter). They are not only sag under its own weight, but also by the frequent opening and closing. Conduct adjustment should be not less than once every six months. When the window is closed manipulation is allowed to be carried out with the lower loop only.

What if the window is not closed

Difficulties in closing can be prevented, because changing the trajectory and sound at closing will be visible immediately. The causes of the problems are most often: jamming in the locking mechanism (shutter is closed, but not locked), violation of the design density, warp (leaf does not go into the doorway). These deficiencies be corrected without outside help. But the solution to the problem within the windowing system mechanisms - an occupation for professionals. However, the adjustment of the eccentrics and loops / sheds should suffice. The clamp in this case increase, and the distance to the fastening units reduces to a minimum. The handle can be unscrewed and set again. If the problem is serious, and there is suspicion of damage, you should check the status of the hardware. You might also need new fixtures or hardware. If knowledge for replacement and adjustment enough, you can purchase and install yourself is all you need. For the prevention of problems with the closing of the need to control the load on the shutter.

What if the window does not open

Window Handle can jam in the first place due to the operation of the locking mechanism. Locking ensures the safety of the whole structure when the handle is in the "closed" position when the casement open. If the window is closed, and that the lock does not open it by acting on the handle mechanism, you need to perform the adjustment. There are two options. The first step is determined by the type of hardware. This labeling or SI, or AUBI. If this is the first type, you will need to press the tab in the direction of the handle of the seal, then turn to. Note that at this point the canvas window have to stand in a vertical orientation. Another case - marking AUBI. Then next to the lever in vertical flap, press on a metal plate with a spring and move it into the position of "open window".

Adjustment and replacement of pens

The most frequent motives for the adjustment knobs are tight turning and hanging out. In the first situation, you must first make sure you have a sufficient amount of lubricant on the hinges. If visually it is not enough, it is necessary to lubricate the moving parts with a cotton swab. Perhaps the problem is still not resolved - then resorted to adjustment. No matter hanging handle or tight opens actions are performed on a similar scheme. Cloth opens at an angle of 90 ° from the frame. Further, the protective plate is removed. Then twist the adjusting screws with a screwdriver. Weaken the attachment, if the handle is turned slowly and, on the contrary, strengthen, if loose. If nothing has changed, you will need a replacement handle. I have it very easy. The plate is rotated, fixing unscrewed - the handle is removed from the shutter. It will only have to fasten a new pin by inserting it into the hole. Replace the handle can be just one minute.

Wear locking bars

Rods must be checked from time to time. Most often, the window settling them on all sides. If any of the plank looks more worn out, then you may have a rough landing window. To solve the problem, first open the box and remove the plugs from the adjustment of hardware on both loops (on the part of the leaf). Then, using a 4-mm hexagon wrench weaken the fastening bolts. Then adjust the top part of the window. We are working again on the adjustment screw. First of all need to adjust all the segments in the plane of the window "left-right". Only then turn to the screw below the fold and build on the "up and down" axis. At the end of the need to ensure the quality of the adjustment. To do this, close and open the box and check the density and uniformity of entering the frame. These measures should be sufficient to eliminate unnecessary burdens on the individual strips.

Eliminating blowing

To solve the problem can be due to the following types of settings:

• side;
• Pressure Adjustment;
• adjust the downforce flaps.

To stop air infiltration, it is necessary to spend adjustment window mechanisms. Along the edges of the flaps are pin to adjust the abutment wings to the frame and to each other. They are exposed to hex or "star". Contact sealed when turning left and weakened by inverse movements. All unions must be adjusted equally. The first adjustment is carried out adjusting all the mechanisms. At first, it is not necessary to press strongly canvas, because of this new seal will begin to rapidly deteriorate. In some designs, the pressing is carried out plates. Extended tab in the clamping system indicates a strong contact. With regard to the manipulation of the loops, then they are exposed to an Allen key. To enhance the pressing need to turn outwards - to the right, if the hinges are on the right side and to the left if the left.

Regulation clamping of the window sash to the frame

The first step is opening a flap. At the end will be visible to the cylindrical cap (spigot, eccentric) - one or more. On the head are long and short slots, and inside details - opening for the installation key. Short indicates weak nip when turned to the rubber gasket, and a strong, if in reverse. Eccentric slot can be parallel to the edge - so it is located in a factory embodiment. For new windows that provision ensures normal clamp, even in winter. Pin turn with an Allen key number 4. Usually it comes bundled with the window structure. But in some situations, the position can be adjusted manually by pulling the eccentric and scrolling. If necessary, use pliers. Clamp itself is changed by about 2 mm between the maximum and minimum values.

How to replace the gasket

The rubber seal is deformed over time and decreases in volume. Sometimes lost integrity. Standard life is limited to four years. Change shriveled seal is very simple. Gum should catch some sharp tip and pull it out of the slot. A new insert in the recess. At this stage, it is important to keep the elastic properties of the new seal, never stretch it. Gum should fit snugly into the slot, making a characteristic quiet sound. For sealing elements and accessories to care. At least twice a year to apply grease to the rubber band. Seal and fittings should also be cleaned of dirt. Cleaners must be chosen carefully to protect items from strong impact. If self-seal replacement is not successful, there may be a problem with the internal fittings.

Recommendations on how to care for plastic windows

Proper Maintenance of PVC windows, metal-plastic or plastic includes:

• grease;
• the washing up;
• cleaning;
• by parts;
• the replacement of worn parts.

The first point - care by plastic. From this it follows that when washing can not use aggressive cleaning agents and abrasives. It is also necessary to avoid an alcohol and bleach. These precautions will keep not only the material, but also its color. When washing using thin soft cloth and porous sponges. The second aspect - the care of windows. Wash can be a t. H. an alcohol, but without letting them fall on the rubber seal. The next point - supplies. Moving parts are lubricated at least once or twice a year. Lubricants should not contain acid or resin. It may be suitable oil for cars or sewing machines. One more thing - the right care for the seals. Clean and wash them need at least 2-3 times a year. At some point, you may need a replacement seal. Still need to take care of the drainage holes. They clogged by moisture and microparticles. Delete all will be difficult, but you can try to gently vacuum them.

Purification by fitting accumulated dust

Accessories should be cleaned at least twice or three times a year. Firstly, after the winter, and shortly before it. At this time you need to conduct a comprehensive preventive examination and fitting elements of the seal. Another cleaning is recommended in mid or late summer, after the period when the window for a long time remain open into the design gets a lot of dust. Cleaning of parts and washing joints help to avoid repairs, and due to this - to save money. Clean fittings brushes with stiff bristles. Small holes treated with narrow brushes. Details of glass at first wipe with a damp cloth, very carefully where the frame and the sash tighter all adjacent to each other. Dirt that is there, interferes with the normal contact. Pinch rollers and other moving elements are cleaned as carefully. Dust from the depressions is possible to get a vacuum cleaner - easy to thrust and with bristly head.

conclusion

Plastic window - robust design. However, from time to time due to changing the position of the flaps and under the influence of its own weight and imbalance occur jamming. In most cases, correcting the problem can and must be on their own. You will need a minimum of tools and a few tens of minutes of free time. To protect the window from the problems or reduce the frequency of their occurrence to a minimum, it is required only to comply with the recommendations of the instruction manual. The design must not always be in an open position. For more details should be properly looked after. Problem to be replaced. Many times the replacement will not take - supplies to the plastic box there is on the nearest market, and the process is quite simple. Window system should be changed to intervals between warm and cold periods of the year.
