DIY plastic windows adjustment

If the window skeleton suddenly distorted: sank down or is located unevenly in a horizontal plane, its position will not be difficult to adjust. It is necessary to have a hexagonal key for 4.

Adjustment of the position of the sash down

The position of the sash in the vertical plane is regulated by the lower loop. To raise or lower the sash, open the window, remove the decorative lining from the lower loop. Then we insert the hexagonal key into the adjusting groove, which is located on top. We turn clockwise the sash rises, counterclockwise the sash is lowered.

Adjustment of the position of the sash to the right to the left

The position to the right to the left of the lower part of the sash is regulated using the lower loop. In the same way, remove the decorative pad, insert the key into the adjusting groove, which is located below. We turn clockwise the sash moves to the left, against the clock, moves to the right.

The position to the right to the left of the upper part of the sash is regulated by the element, which is located on the sash itself at the top. To have access to it, we open the sash wide open, on top, on the side closest to the hinges we see the nest in which the element is located. Using the hexagonal key, we turn it out the sash shifts left or right.

Important! You can only regulate the position of the wings in the open state.

Adjustment of the sash on the clip to the frame

Most often, there are no windows in plastic windows, so the only way to refresh the air in the room in winter is to put the sash in the ventilation mode. For too severe frosts, the generated gap can be too large through it blows all the heat. There is a need to reduce it, at least temporarily. Or another problem arises: from under the seal it began to blow very much. In this case, the adjustment and repair of plastic windows may be needed.

Press the upper part of the sash to the frame is regulated by the mechanism on the upper sash. To have access to it, we open the sash in two positions at the same time: openly and ventilation. If a blocker does not allow you to open two positions at once, press its tongue on the handle mechanism. When the sash is open, we see scissors that support the sash on top. There is an adjusting element from above or below, we turn it with a hexagon. The sash will be pulled closer to the frame. Then we return the sash to its original position.

The blowing out of the seal can be eliminated by pressing the sash to the frame. If this did not help, the repair of plastic windows (PVC) will be required. You can adjust the junction with a locking mechanism tRAPF and response plankswhich serve to open and closing the window. When the handle turns, the trunches cling to the response strips. Either one or others are subject to adjustment depending on accessories.

The trousers are on the sash and are round or oval elements. If they have a hexagonal groove, then they are controlled by a key, and if not it is necessary to use the pliers. We scroll the tsapps so that they become closer to the seal. We repeat this procedure for all TRAPFs that are located around the perimeter of the sash. We make sure that the clamp is uniform.

DIY plastic windows repair

Repair and maintenance under the warranty applies to new plastic windows only if the company is provided by the manufacturer or the installer. The average warranty period is 2 years. If the breakdown occurred after this period, you will have to carry out paid repairs. Below is information that will save money and not call the Master for the repair of plastic windows by trifles.

Installation of a new handle and a restriction restriction at the opening

If the handle suddenly broke, cracked or got loose, or you wanted to install an opening limiter or a new handle so that the child could not open the window, it is not necessary to contact special companies. It is enough to buy a new pen in a construction store and replace the old one with a new one yourself.

We turn the decorative plate at the base of the handle by 90. We see two screws, from above and below with which the handle is attached. We unscrew them with a regular screwdriver and take them out. Remove the old pen. We install a new pen and fasten with the same screws. If we want to set the opening limiter, then before installing a new handle, we install the ventilation regulator (comb) in the base of the handle. Then put the pen, fasten and turn the plate back to cover the screws.

As you can see, everything is quite simple. If possible, it is better to do this work on your own, since the prices are the same as for new handles for such a repair of plastic windows. Those. The cost of a new pen \u003d cost of its installation. Why pay more?

The handle jammed in the position openly, the sash of the window does not close: disconnecting the lock

Do not be scared if the handle is jammed in the open position. Most likely, the lock worked. It is installed on most accessories with a good goal so as not to accidentally break the window. When the handle is twisted in a folding position or a rotary-oatmeal, the lock is triggered so that the handle does not turn. But there are times when it works at the wrong time. Most often, this happens if the pen is too quickly transferred from one position to another. To turn off the lock, it is necessary to determine the brand of accessories.

Furniture Aubi: The sash should be in an upright position. If in a rotary-oatmeal, then the lock on the upper loop will also interfere with the rotation of the handle. In the area of \u200b\u200bthe handle we find a metal plate with a spring. We press it to the sealing with your fingers and turn the handle.

Furniture Roto, Gu, Winkhaus, Maco: Under the pen we find a metal tongue, it should stick out at an angle to the frame. We press on the tongue so that it becomes in a position parallel to the sash, and turn the handle.

If this does not work, you need to check whether the lock is in contact with the response mechanism on the frame. There are cases of temperature expansion, then the lock can slip by. To eliminate this, we open the window and find a response element on the frame, for which the lock should cling. Then unscrew the screws fixing it, and put something between the frame and the response element, for example, a plastic lining. So we will achieve that the lock on the sash is applied to the response element on the frame.

The handle turns with difficulty or not to the end: repair of accessories

The cause of malfunctions with a pen may be sagging a sash or dry lubrication in accessories. To begin with, we look visually if there is sagging. If there is, we adjust the sash in an upright position, as described above. If you have not noticed anything like that, then it’s still a lubricant. The fact is that the system of accessories of the plastic window is very complicated. Management, in fact, with the help of a handle alone is provided by a large number of gear ratio. High -quality work is guaranteed by cleanliness and good lubrication. Therefore, we buy either a universal penetrating lubricant or a special lubricant for the fittings of plastic windows and lubricate all the moving elements of accessories. If the pen is still moving badly, then it is worth calling the master.

The sash was opened simultaneously in a turning and folding mode

We do not panic, it is clear that the sash is heavy, but still we convert it into a rotary mode, i.e. We put it vertically, so that the upper loop is pressed.

At the same time, the sash remains open. We transfer the pen to a horizontal position (openly). If the lock does not allow, turn it off, as described above. Then we close the sash and turn the handle down. To check, slowly turn the handles in different positions, everything works well.

Suggling from under the seal: clamping to the frame

First of all, we try to cope on our own, pressing the sash stronger to the frame. To do this, we carry out the instructions for the clutch, as described above. We pay attention to the position of the CAPF and the response planks, whether they correspond to each other.

Perhaps the trunches do not go for the response parts. In this case, it is necessary to rearrange the strips: unscrew the screws fixing them and rearrange it just below. If nothing helped, everything also blows, then the reason is different. Contact the master.

Blowing from the side of the loops, the profile arose: installation of riht plates

If it blows from the side of the loops, you can press the sash in this place to the frame. There is a hole on the lower loop, insert the nozzle into it and turn it.

On the upper loop, the pulling mechanism is on the scissors, as it is regulated above.

If the profile is bent by an arc, there can be several causes of such an ailment. The first low -quality installation: the frame is stretched by anchors, and the average clamp does not work. The second fell or were not installed in the production (marriage) Richthoi plates. They should be installed in the middle of the sash between the double -glazed window and the profile. If you have warranty plastic windows, do not carry out repairs yourself, contact the company, they must eliminate the defect for free. If the warranty period has long passed, then we install these plates ourselves. As a material, we use any plastic that fall, a width of at least the thickness of the double -glazed window.

We take a metal spatula, put it in the joint between the stacking and profiles, we can easily hit and disconnect the stacking staff. Below we see the riht plates installed between the frame and the sash. Close the metal part of the spatula with a plastic stand so as not to damage the double -glazed window. Put the double -glazed window with a 3 5 mm with a spatula. We install the plates and return the double -glazed window to place.

Important! Plastic plates should not rest against the glass part of the double -glazed window, otherwise the glass may crack.

Old plastic windows: repair of accessories

Over time, the window fittings are clogged with dust and dirt and ceases to function normally. And there are times that during the repair of the windows are open, and whitewashing clogs all gear rates with new windows stop working. We'll have to completely sort out the fittings. You can order this work from professionals. A similar repair of plastic windows in Moscow will cost from 1200 rubles. For one sash. And you can try to do it yourself.

Remove the sash from the loops. Remove decorative pads from the upper and lower loop. We knock out the axis from the upper loop: first we hit it on top, and then take out with the below with pliers. Someone second at this time should support the sash, as it is heavy. We take out the sash out of the lower loop and put it on the table. Remove the handle (see above). Along the perimeter of the entire sash, we unscrew all the screws fixing accessories. We take out the mechanism of their special groove. We lay the fittings on the table covered with a film. Rinse the entire mechanism with a brush, dipping it in a bath with washing.

After thorough washing, we dry the mechanism with air. You can use a cycle pump. We buy a special lubricant for the fittings of plastic windows and lubricate all the gearboxes and rubbing parts.

Gently put on the fittings back. We fasten with screws. Install the pen. Lubricate the loops and hang the sash. If everything works well, we have just saved 1200 rubles.

Replacement of the seal on plastic windows

The average service life of the seal is 5 10 years. If you see with the naked eye that he was out of order, worn out, it's time to replace it. First of all, we buy a new one. German will last 10 15 years. Turkish 5 years. When purchasing, we check along the entire length so that there is no marriage.

We take out the old seal and groove. Clean and rinse the groove thoroughly. Lubricate the groove with glue around the perimeter. We put the seal in it slowly and carefully should not allow the cord to stretch or contract.

Replacement of the double -glazed window in a plastic window

Broken double -glazed window is still that trouble. If you are not confident in your abilities, it is better to consult specialists. In any case, we need to order a new double -glazed window.

Remove the old double -glazed window. Using a metal spatula and rubber kiyanka, remove all the staff. We insert the spatula into the joint between the frame and the double -glazed window, slightly hit and remove the stacks. When all the stacks are removed, we take out the double -glazed window together, it is heavy. Gently lay it on the floor. We measure all parameters: height, width, thickness. We communicate the dimensions to the manufacturer and wait for new double -glazed windows.

We install the Richthoi plates at the bottom if the sash is deaf, in the corners with an indent of 10 cm if the sash is opening. We insert a new double -glazed window. We look so that its geometry is correct. If necessary, we put one more pure plates. Then we install stacks. The new window is ready.

Important! Replacing the double -glazed window in a wooden window occurs using another technology using a more serious tool, so do not try to do it yourself.

Within the framework of the article, we examined only those breakdowns that you can try to eliminate yourself. If something more serious happened, or you can’t do it yourself, contact special companies.
