Adjust the windows winter summer
The transition system is not associated with the quality of the material used for the production of windows, but with the presence of a certain kind of finished products in finished products. Quite often, accessories with a low cost are made with a limited number of additional functions, in this regard, manufacturing companies do not complement it by regulators that make it possible to make seasonal adjustments.
Based on the fact that the street temperature in winter and summer is significantly suggested that seasonal requirements for window frames are also not the same. In winter, the priority is the task of maximum safety of heat in the room, protecting it from frosty street air, in summer the tasks are greatly simplified. The task of the summer regime is to prevent the penetration of dust, fine debris, dirt and street warmth.
The translation of the plastic window from summer to winter mode and vice versa - the process is not complicated, but requiring special accuracy. In cases where the owner of the housing is not sure of his awareness and opportunities in resolving this issue, the best option is to contact a specialist or company engaged in the installation of a window frame.
Winter adjustment of plastic windows yourself
To establish the winter mode on plastic windows, the window should initially inspect and make sure that it contains the necessary mounts that allow the transition from summer to winter or vice versa. Visually, the owner must find holes near the eccentric in the form of a star or hexagon. Only after the detection of the latter can the transition be started.
Step -by -step recommendations when switching to a winter window:
- first of all, it is necessary to count the existing amounts of eccentrics; The windows made by different firms may vary; All eccentrics are subject to translation;
- at the next stage of the translation, pliers or key will be needed; With their help, the eccentric should be scrolled to the position when the seal is pressed as much as possible; In most options for plastic windows proposed in specialized stores, scrolling eccentric should be done clockwise;
- the final step is a test that will help (especially beginners in this matter) to make sure that the work performed is correctly done; The check is as follows: a sheet of ordinary paper is clamped between the sash and the frame, then the window closes with the handle; Now you need to pull the leaf towards yourself: if it stretches freely, then the transition to the winter is completely wrong or not completely and the plastic window is still in summer mode; If the sheet could not be pulled out, the transition is committed correctly and the window is ready for wintering.
You can see how the adjustment is done by watching the video:
Experts argue that even if there are necessary fasteners for the transition of the modes, the transition itself is not necessary at all. The seal, after the transition to the winter, wears out faster and becomes unusable. Therefore, it makes no sense to keep the window in winter mode all year round. But on the other hand, the window in summer mode in winter can pass cold air.
Information about the presence of the possibility of transition between modes should be recognized from the sales assistant before the purchase in the store.
