Plastic windows fashionable, reliable, practical and modern. And already nobody doubts their advantages. However the PVC windows, as well as all other types of windows, can also break. And it does not mean at all that it is necessary to get rid of them. Always everything can be repaired. And even independently.
One of the most widespread problems connected with plastic windows is accessories faulty operation. The door will jam, the handle is not turned, the window does not want to be closed. Such problems do not say at all that all window has become useless. There was just failure in accessories. Therefore first of all it is necessary to check its state and to modify problems where it will be required.
Adjustment of the handle
According to the statistics most often the PVC window handle suffers. And here it is necessary to understand in what the reason. So, for example, if the handle has cracked, it should be changed completely. According to the instruction the replacement is made so: turn plate in the basis by 90 degrees. Under it there are screws fixing the handle to frame. Turn off these screws the corresponding screw-driver and take out all handle from shutter. Put another on its place and twirl on screw again. Hide them under the plastic basis, and your window will be as new again. To buy such parts not and it is difficult. They standard are also on sale in any hardware store.
The same method is used and in case you just want to replace the handle, for example, with that that with the lock. You easily can independently make all this, without resorting to the help of professionals.
In case you feel what begins to klinit the handle, i.e. it turns, is not present, it can mean that metal parts lack lubricant. Therefore sort the basis of the handle and apply special lubricant. Besides, it is desirable to use such means and for prevention - you apply it on the lock regularly, and the accessories will work longer and better. However often happens so that strongly jams the handle when opening window or balcony door. And in this case, most likely, the mechanism should be changed completely. Especially if such breakage has occurred before winter. If your handle has jammed irrevocably in one situation, for example, the window is not closed, most likely, the reason is in breakage of the lock. It is necessary to regulate accessories in this situation, proceeding from its look. So, for example, if the Siegenia Aubi brand was used, it is necessary to look for the small sticking-out metal plate with spring around the handle. The window shutter during repair has to be in vertical position. Press this plate closer to sealant and turn the handle. In case you have accessories of other producers, it is necessary to work by the same principle, but not with plate, and with metal uvula.
If blows
In case blows from under sealant, it is necessary to work with clowns. Experts recommend to carry out all works with accessories of plastic window by means of special key. For repair insert key into reciprocal plates on frame or in mobile elements in the form of rollers with opening (depends again on look and the brand of accessories) and turn element in the necessary direction. The closer to sealant, the shutter clip is stronger. For the summer it is recommended to weaken such mode as because of excessive friction sealant will quickly fail.
If you not really well understand terminology and cannot distinguish to descent reciprocal elements from rollers with openings, use the Internet. There experts have posted photos and that for a long time, and other type of parts.
Sometimes the reason of bad pressing of shutter, and as a result of blowing from window, the discrepancy of arrangement of reciprocal parts on frame and adjustable rollers is. If you see that you the reason in it, turn off reciprocal plates, displace them a little below, press and properly fasten. As a result the roller has to come under it. In case you doubt, study the video tutorial for adjustment of plastic windows which is on the Internet. In the same place optimum tightening of all available bolts is shown. To shutters there is also other problem - they sag. The main plus of this situation is that correction will not demand either great efforts, or long time. Everything becomes easily and simply. The loops holding shutter are hidden under special decorative pads. They need to be removed and found adjusting opening. This opening for the screw-driver hexagon or special adjusting key is normal. Look at what tool will approach better, that and use. Tighten up element, close shutter and look whether the defect remains or not. If yes, tighten up a little more. Experts recommend to find time for prevention and to operate windows as it is offered the instruction of the producer. That is it is not necessary to transfer you too sharply and quickly handles from one situation to another. Especially perniciously for accessories switching of handles to and fro in the investigation of mistake. For example, you wanted to open the airing mode, but have overdone and have finished the handle, and immediately have sharply returned it to the airing mode. The mechanism is not in time for you, and blocking results from it. Also do not forget to look after metal components. For this purpose you need special silicone lubricant which you will be able easily to buy in any specialized shop. Well and, of course, if you are not sure of the forces, do not undertake independent repair. Call experts better. Will repair broken completely after you more difficult and more expensive, than to fix initial banal problem.
