Replacing old wooden windows with plastic structures improves the safety of heat in the house and increases the soundproofing quality of the building. But install windows from plastic - this means that only half of an important thing is made.

Requirements for efficient operation of windows

The lack of proper care is the cause of various deformation processes. This leads to the loss of the initial attractive appearance of the windows.

There are a number of requirements that must be observed when using plastic windows. In particular, it is:

• the humidity of the room should not exceed 45-50%;
• exhaust ventilation;
• the optimal windowsill width with radiator heating (it provides normal air circulation).

Care rules

Compliance with the rules of care for plastic windows will not allow premature aging of the design. These include:

• periodic ventilation of the rooms;
• caring for the frame, handle and window seals;
• maintenance of fittings design;
• exercise of drainage.

The need for periodic ventilation is caused by the features of the structure of the windows. A characteristic phenomenon for them is a high density of all elements. When the windows are closed, they skip the small amount of air. As a result, condensate is accumulated in wet rooms, which settles on the glass. It will be enough for the opening of the windows twice a day for 15 minutes.

of plastic windows Care provides clean them from dirt. To wash the frame it is possible to use ordinary soapy water. But more effective solution would be the acquisition of special equipment. Do not wash the plastic frame detergents, which include solvents, acids and other abrasives.

In operation, window frames should not exposed to high temperatures (laying hot griddle or iron) and mechanical stress (place heavy items). On the hardware windows must not be exposed to paint, and other foreign objects in the implementation of finishing.

New windows are purified by conventional means, intended for window washing. It does not follow:

• use the grind and powder cleaning agents;
• remove dirt using sharp objects.

Before application of a detergent is necessary to check a small portion of its action on the window surface.

Often, some designs are vulnerable point pen. Since they are loosening over time. Resolve this problem, you can:

• lying decorative strip;
• it is installed in a horizontal position;
• carried tightening screws.

Care of plastic windows seals involves cleaning them. Sealers help to increase the heat-and sound-insulating properties. To extend the operational lifetime of the seals must be twice a year to resort to them:

• cleaning of dirt by a conventional soap solution;
• treated with a special oil or glycerin.

After 5-7 years, when the seals cracks, they change into new products.

Particular attention should be paid to care for furniture construction window. Her normal work is based on these basic principles:

• the slight movement of the flaps;
• fastening parts;
• their damage and wear.

Opening the flap is easy to check the progress of accessories. If it is difficult, lubricate or adjust elements fittings. Adjustments can be performed on several axes. They are intended to prevent sagging fittings.

Adjustment fitting is screwed into the eccentrics:

• locking journals;
• hinges;
• mounting plate.

This work is Allen. That in the future no problems with the closing of the valves, the choice must be made on the window frames up to 1 m in width and with light flaps.

Ensuring reliable fastening of fittings is a pledge of not only the correct operation of the plastic window, but also the safety of its use. In order to avoid this problem, it is necessary to carry out a regular inspection of screws that are pulled up elements of fittings. When detecting the fastening of screws, they pull up or change to new fasteners.

Sub-quality care for the plastic window or long period of operation can lead to various damage and subsequent wear of the main elements of the fittings. In this case, you will have to replace such parts.

It is worth noting that the adjustment and replacement of the elements of the fittings, including the removal and installation of the sash, is recommended to be carried out with the involvement of specialists. If the adjustment works are incorrect, the plastic window can be disposed of landfill.

There are a number of requirements for the exercise of lubrication and operation of accessories. The main ones are:

• use of machine oil or solidol;
• processing of the lubricant of each moving node;
• application of lubricant in small quantities (2-3 drops);
• the use of funds that will not damage the anti-corrosion coating of the accessories;
• the elimination of detergents, which consist of aggressive compounds;
• preventing the load on the sash window in a vertical position;
• preventing mechanical contact with sash;
• closing the window with strong wind gusts;
• preventing the laying of foreign objects into the space between the sash and the frame.

An integral part of ensuring the correct care of plastic windows is an effective moisture removal. For this, they are equipped with drainage channels that are located below the frame. They are visible when the window sash opens. Periodic Cleaning of Channels from Sora and Mud will increase the service life of window structures.

Finally, a few words about the departure means of plastic windows of manufacturers. For washing a profile from polyvinyl chloride, the same degreasing compositions are used as for washing dishes:

• Fairy;
• PRILL;
