Care of metal-plastic windows
Maintenance of the fittings of plastic windows
Timely care of the fittings of PVC plastic windows allows you to increase the service life for many years. This requires lubricating all moving parts with lubricant or oil 2 times a year.
Maintenance of seals on PVC windows
SEALS on PVC windows are installed around the perimeter of the frame and sash. Such rubber seals serve to ensure that the sash fits snugly to the frame, protecting against the penetration of wind and rain. Care for rubber seals on plastic windows includes cleaning the seals from dirt and treating with a special silicone spray or pencil (do not use solvent and aggressive substances).
Maintenance of the handle on PVC windows
REMEMBER: you can not turn the knob with the sash open! With long-term operation of the PVC window, opening and closing the sash, the handle can loosen and cause inconvenience in use. This defect is eliminated by tightening the screws. It is necessary to transfer the handle with a decorative strip to a horizontal position and tighten the screws.
Water drainage from plastic windows
Drainage channels remove excess accumulated moisture. It is necessary to periodically clean these channels from dirt, to ensure that the drainage channels are not clogged.
Care of double-glazed windows
Everyone knows how to properly wash windows – apply a cleaning agent to the glass, then wash the glass with a sponge and drive away all the dirt with a rubber scraper. Starting from above, wipe dry with a cotton towel. Do not wash the window in direct sunlight, because the cleaning agent will begin to evaporate quickly.
