Instructions for repair of plastic windows with their hands on all occasions

from any window manufacturer have not been purchased, no matter what their upscale master did not set, but time passes and certain defects appear as nothing eternal does not exist.Is it always should immediately begin the search for specialists or some of the "failure" can be resolved on their own?That's about it and will talk.

Consider the most common cases of the repair of plastic windows when it makes no sense to call the master, and pay for his services - this can be done by hand.Moreover, divide them into two categories, which the only difference is that in one case it is necessary to buy something, and the other - no.

Replacement seal

Any RTI reacts to thermal effects and eventually "dry."As a result - the cracks and violation of window sealing.How to Repair?

algorithm of actions:

• dismantling of the old seal;
• cleaning grooves on the material balances;
• treatment with their respective adhesive composition;
• install a new seal.

operations are simple, but there is a feature - the material is quite elastic.Therefore, when laying the grooves it is necessary to place freely, without pulling.Otherwise, it will shrink when the temperature deformation and tightness will be compromised.A similar material is used for insulation of windows on the Swedish technology.

Replacement handle

fasteners located at its base and covered with a decorative plate.It is enough to deploy it at right angles, and open access to the screws.Then just - loosen - change handle - lock.

On sale there are special ogranichiteli- "comb", which do not give the child the possibility to open the sash on their own.They are installed in the base of the arms, which are then mounted in place.You can buy a kit and ready-made - a pen-lock.

Replacement glass

This is an extreme case, since it is necessary to try very much to break it.Buy will have only one - the new "glass".It can be ordered according to the available sizes.

repair algorithm:

• Fast dismantling glazing beads.It would take a small hammer and trowel;
• removal of "glass";
• attaching plates (adjusting) for glazing the bottom of the frame.For opening flaps - no closer than 100 mm to the corners;
• installation of glass and its alignment with the help of the same plate;
• fixing shtapikami.

knob hard to turn

Pre-need to make sure there is no sagging sash.If handled properly, it will have to do all the grease "mechanisms".On sale there are special formulations specifically for plastic windows.How to apply - is written on the packaging.Lubricants are subject to all the moving elements of the window.

«Sag» sash

Over time, there is some distortion of the window sash, which is natural, given the weight of the glass.The adjusting member is disposed on the lower loop.It is necessary to remove her patch, slightly open the window and use the hex key to align horizontally.The principle is simple: the key is twisted to raise the flap edge to lower - unscrewed (counter-clockwise rotation).

Loose pressing of the frame to the rack

As a result - a small draft.Since the flap "folds" in 2 positions, it opens and - to "ventilation" and "fully open".To achieve this, it is necessary to put pressure on the lock (its "tongue" is located on the handle).

adjustment screw located at the top of the frame.It is necessary to tighten.

If only slightly blowing in the seal area, then this deficiency can be eliminated in this way.The technique differs only some features that depend on the brand of hardware.

For «WINKHAUS»

adjustment is made eccentric.It should be slightly weakened (with pliers or your fingers), and then shift in the right direction.

For «ROTO»

With hexagon.

For «GU», «AUBI» and some other

Rotate video - counterclockwise.It has a label.Than it is closer to the frame, the more will clamp.

WINKHAUS

ROTO

GU, AUBI

When blowing in the area of ​​the loop need to use regulations and tighter squeeze sash to the frame.It helps lining and additional plates.

Valve closes barely

It so happens that it rests on the stand cut the window frame.Practically the same bias.Sash need a little shift in the horizontal plane.The only difference is which part of the frame.Adjusting elements are arranged in the respective loops - to get access to them, the flap is fully opened.Other ways to adjust the plastic windows are described here.

to lower

To top

Sometimes the reason is that all the "mechanisms" of elementary clogged with dust.It is necessary to remove the box and put on a horizontal surface.Dismantling is dislodging from the upper hinge axis, after which the flap should be lifted and removed from the unit.Then it turns away all fasteners and remove the mechanism.It is only necessary to remember (or write) the procedure for disassembly as is necessary to gather in the reverse order.

Planters nests are cleaned, and all metal parts are subject to washing and lubrication.

jammed handle

As a rule, only one reason - load lock.repair algorithm is dependent on the brand of hardware.For the majority of plastic windows is enough to press the plate or put in parallel end flaps, and then turn the handle freely.

Useful tips

• Even at the stage of installation of plastic windows must ask the master installers that may be needed in case of self-repair.Pro key, spatula and a screwdriver has been said, but there are consumables (for example, means «WD-40").Since windows are mounted for a long period, it is advisable to prepare in advance the necessary repair kit.
• When buying seal need to look at the country of manufacture.More quality considered, German windows, they are at least 10 years (how to choose a window - see).But Turkish products - on the strength of 5. In addition, it is necessary to stretch the entire length and make sure there are no defects (cracks, partial breaks, and so on).Buy "just so", the wiring, it is not necessary.
