Content
Plastic windows are common products that we have known for more than 20 years. It was two dozen years ago that such windows became popular because of their ergonomics, as well as efficiency, which allows you to maintain heat in the house. In this article we will tell you how to adjust plastic windows on your own.
How to adjust plastic yourself?
Unfortunately, with age, the performance of double -glazed windows may worsen. This is due to a change in the angle of inclination of the frame, as well as the wear of accessories. Therefore, in order for the product to serve for a long time, and performs all the functions assigned to it, it is necessary to adjust.
How to adjust plastic yourself:
- The most popular and common breakdown is the loose fit of the design nodes. To fix this breakdown, just open the sash and look at the protruding part. It somehow resembles a screw with several components inside a cylindrical shape.
- There are several designs of such a device, depending on which it is necessary to perform various manipulations. Usually everything looks like a screw, and there is no need to use some additional tooling tools.
- It is necessary to turn this screw to the right or left. To make the fitting more dense, it is necessary to turn in the direction of the arrow of the mechanical watch, this will make the adjustment of the nodes more dense. Usually such a manipulation is carried out for the winter when it is necessary to compact.

Why do you need to adjust plastic windows for the winter?
This position of the eccentric enhances the pressure of the nodes on each other, so it leads to the rapid wear of fittings and double -glazed windows. But this method is regularly used if there is a draft and insufficiently dense fit between the nodes. Thus, the amount of heat that leaves the apartment will be minimized.
Adjusting plastic windows for the winter:
- In spring, reverse manipulation is usually carried out and the eccentric is transferred to the left position. To do this, it must be pulled on yourself and just turn it into the opposite side.
- Thus, you will get a weaker fit. Most often, during the installation, the middle position is chosen, which is universal. Thus, this eccentric will be strictly in the center.
- It is necessary to navigate by the hollow and the mark, which is available on the eccentric to the edge. This is not the only way that allows you to adjust the product.

Plastic windows: Winter-summer adjustment on your own
It happens that the angle of inclination of the frame or sash changes to eliminate the friction between the two parts of the double -glazed window, it is necessary to adjust. To do this, you will need the most ordinary set of tools. This is a hexagon, a screwdriver, as well as ordinary pliers. Almost every man in the house has a similar set.
Plastic windows, adjusting winter-summer yourself:
- Next, it is necessary to work with the upper part of the product. Remove the overlay from the loop, and look at the resulting design. You will see a recess that resembles a hexagon in its section.
- This is the hole in which it is necessary to enter the key and rotate. The rotation is carried out along the hour of the clock if you need to lower the sash and against the direction of the clockwise, if you need to raise it a little.
- If you have no idea which way to twirl, try to experiment. Make a few revolutions at once against the course of the watch and try how the sash began to walk and fit to the frame.
- If the situation is aggravated, conduct manipulations exactly the opposite, and now turn in the opposite direction. Thus, by scrolling these screws can be achieved by changing the angle of inclination. This will lead to a tight fit of the structural elements of the double -glazed window.

Adjustment of plastic windows yourself for the winter: Instruction
If when scrolling this screw, the position of the constructive element does not change, and you cannot eliminateexcessive friction, leave the upper loop alone and proceed to the bottom. To do this, it is necessary to remove the lid from the lower part, find the hole under the hexagonal key.
Adjusting plastic windows yourself for the winter, instructions:
- You also need to enter the tool into the hole and screw it in the directionwatching arrows or against. Try to make several revolutions one way, and see how much the slope has changed.
- If nothing has changed, you can proceed to the implementation of rotation in the opposite direction. Thus, by turning the upper and lower screws, it is possible to adjust the position of the node and level it, in case of distortion.
- In almost the same way, not only windows, but also doors are adjusted. However, in this case, it has several screws, and not one, as in the window. Therefore, the adjustment must be carried out by all eccentrics, and not just one.

Please note that improper use of accessories can lead to breakdown. Thus, you can get a frame of frame, as well as a double -glazed window. To prevent this from happening, work clearly according to the instructions. Indeed, in this product there are several more components that can be adjusted, but they are intended exclusively for masters and adjusters. You should not touch these nodes yourself, because it can lead to the depressurization of the double -glazed window.
In no case do not use other items that are not designed to adjust. We are talking about some knives and screwdrivers. Insert exclusively hexagonal keys into special connectors, since other devices can cause angles licking. Then you will have to replace the fittings, since it will be impossible to adjust its adjustment.

Please note that in no case should you leave the window in the position of the eccentric winter for the whole year. The fact is that too dense fit leads to a deterioration in the state of the seal, it fails, deteriorates and crumbles. Therefore, if you constantly ignore the rules and set the window in the winter position, then very soon you will have to replace sealing gum.
