Installation, adjustment of plastic windows. Features of adjusting plastic windows of different types. Adjusting the top loop

A plastic window, even the highest quality and correctly installed, requires periodic maintenance. It can last for several years without any problem, but over time, friction can be felt when opening or closing. The second problem is that it blows out from under the seal, and the third is that the handle turns with effort. All these breakdowns are not difficult and can be easily eliminated and it is not at all necessary to call a wizard: adjusting plastic windows yourself is a matter of minutes. All that is needed is to tighten or loosen a few screws. The main thing is to know where and how. More on this further in photo and video format.

Winter and summer mode

Most often, adjustment of plastic windows for the new season is required: in winter, complete tightness is desirable, and in summer you can fresh air let in. This is achieved by adjusting the sash hold-down density. It's easy to do it yourself. When you figure it out, you will be surprised how elementary everything is ...

The window sash is pressed against the frame with pins. These are such movable metal protrusions on the side surface of the sash. When the handle is turned, they go behind the counter metal plates installed on the frame. In order to be able to adjust the tightness of the sash and frame, they have an eccentric - or made themselves oval, or there is an off-center adjustment in the center of the round boss. By changing the position of the pins (see photo), you change the degree of pressure, that is, you eliminate the draft from under the sash.

As you can see, the shapes of the locking tabs can be different. To adjust them can be used different tools... If your window has such eccentrics as in the figure on the left - oval-shaped protrusions - they change their position using pliers: clamp it and turn it in the right direction.

If the lug is round as shown on the left, it can have a slot for a screwdriver or hex wrench. Having examined them, you can easily understand which tool you need: a regular screwdriver or a hexagon # 4. Insert the key or screwdriver into the slot and also turn it into the desired position.

Expose all the protrusions to the same position. Please note that they are located not only on one side of the sash - the outer, but also on the inner side (at least one, but there is), and can also be at the top and bottom. Here you put all the available locking lugs in the same position, otherwise the frame will warp and blow from under it.

When adjusting the fittings of plastic windows, remember that a weak pressure corresponds to the summer mode of closing plastic windows, standard or strong - to the winter one. If you carry out maintenance work in the winter, first set the standard position and check if there is blowing. Immediately squeeze the rubber bands on new ones PVC windows do not advise. In this position, installed around the perimeter rubber compressor strongly pressed. Because of this, over time, it loses its elasticity. A normal seal is guaranteed for 15 years, but still ... If the pressure is set to the maximum one immediately, the rubber will deteriorate faster. As a result, once again setting the winter position on plastic windows, you will find that it is still blowing from under the sash, and the elastic is all in cracks. This means it's time to change the seal. This is also not very difficult, but it takes more time, and rubber still needs to be bought.

So: the winter and summer position of plastic windows is set by changing the position of the locking protrusions - pins. Everything is described in detail in the video below. After watching, adjusting plastic windows on your own will finally cease to be a problem.

How to adjust the window so that it doesn't blow

Sometimes, plastic windows even after the pins are moved to the position of strong pressure, they are not airtight - blowing from under the sash and replacing the elastic does nothing. This usually happens when the house shrinks. In this case, they say that the window is sagging. When this happens, contact between the locking tab and the striker plate is lost. When turning the handle, the protrusion-pin should go behind the plate, pressing the flap. If this does not happen and drafts arise, the heat is blown out of the room.

Where are the trunnions (lugs) usually located

When the plastic window sags, the adjustment is different: you need to move the sash groaning so that those protrusions that do not reach the plates catch on them.

First you need to decide which of the trunnions do not reach the striker plates. This is done mechanically. First, inspect the sash, remember where there are protrusions. Close the window. Grasp the sash frame at the pivot points and pull it towards you.

If there is contact, the frame remains stationary; if not, it moves. So you check in what places there is no contact and determine in which direction you need to move the sash. This is done by adjusting the bottom and top hinges.

Bottom hinge adjustment

If the PVC window does not close somewhere below, we will move the sash using the lower hinge. There are two adjustments here: one in the horizontal plane - moves closer to the hinge or further from it, and the second - in the vertical one - raises or lowers the sash by a couple of millimeters.

To move the lower part of the sash closer or further to the hinge, it is opened. In the lower part of the song there is an adjustment hole for a hex key (sometimes - for an "asterisk").

A hexagon is inserted into it, by turning it clockwise, the lower corner approaches the loop, against it, it moves away. After moving the sash slightly, try to close / open it. Once the result is achieved, stop. If the resource is twisted all the way, but there is no result, return everything to its original position: this is not the adjustment.

This screw can be used to correct the situation if, when closing the window, the sash touches the frame at the bottom. By bringing it a little closer to the hinge, you will eliminate this malfunction.

There is a second adjusting screw on the lower hinge. To get to it, you need to put the sash on ventilation and remove the decorative cover. It can be removed easily, you need to pull the lower edge towards you a little (by 1-2 mm) and pull it up. After removing the protective cap, you will see a recess in the upper part. A 4 mm hexagon is inserted into it. By turning it clockwise, the sash rises slightly, and against it, it drops.

It is described in detail how to remove the decorative overlay on the hinge, how and how to adjust the lower hinge on the PVC window in the next video.

Adjusting the top loop

If the upper corner does not close on the plastic window, you need to move it... To do this, open the window at least 90 °. Less is possible, but it will be inconvenient to work. There is a hinge on the sash at the top. It differs in design from the lower one, but it also has a hole for a hexagon.

The adjustment screw is on the side. Rotating it, we move the flap further from the hinge (if the pins farthest from the hinge do not close) or closer to the hinge. One moment - a gap of several millimeters should remain between the sash and the hinge: it is necessary for the swing-out mechanism to enter there. Therefore, turning the key half a turn, check how the window opens / closes.

Sometimes this adjustment does not help either. Then it takes press the upper corner against the frame. For this there is another screw - on the rotary folding mechanism... To have access to this screw, you will have to open the window in two positions at once. To do this, the sash is opened, the blocker is pressed. It usually comes in two designs - in the form of a locking loop or a tongue (see the photo below).

The blocker is retracted to the stop, holding it, turning the handle for airing, pulling the upper edge of the sash slightly towards itself, open the turning mechanism. A device that keeps the sash open. One of the plates has a protrusion for the same hex key. By turning it, you can adjust the tightness of the upper corner of the sash. It is necessary if the upper corner of the plastic window does not close.

You can see how to adjust the plastic windows yourself again in the video. Explanations on the case, available without further ado.

Plastic window does not close

Sometimes the geometry of the window opening changes so much that even by moving the sash to the maximum, we do not get the desired result: the plastic window does not close. What to do in this case? If there is an adjustment on the counterpart, as in option a and b in the photo, try to get by with a little blood - twist it here. The principle is the same: insert the hex wrench and rotate it clockwise, pushing it to the maximum.

If a few millimeters are missing, not in depth, but sideways, then will have to be installed under the counterpart of the lining. They are cut from a piece of white plastic. The maximum thickness is 3-4 mm. First, by unscrewing the screws, the stops are removed. Two gaskets are cut out: one is installed from the bottom, the other from the side. As a result, the stop moves 3 mm into the sash.

They are installed first on the desired place of the lining, on them there is a stop, which is screwed on with a self-tapping screw. The protruding pieces of plastic are cut off sharp knife... Check if the window is closed or not.

If this does not help, there is another way: move the sash frame. It is quite elastic and can be moved about 5 mm. The procedure is as follows:

If you look closely, you can see that the frame is slightly curved. The main thing is that the window should now close. In 99% of cases, this is enough. If you are unlucky, and all these tricks did not work, you need to remove the slopes and also bend the frame.

You can watch all the steps described above in the video.

Adjusting and replacing handles

A fairly common problem: the handle is difficult to turn. If the problem is not eliminated in time, due to the excessive efforts applied, it breaks down, leaving a short stump, which you will definitely not be able to do anything.

First, how to make the handle close easily again. The locking mechanisms must first be cleaned and lubricated. First, the accumulated dust and dirt are removed, wiped dry, then all moving parts are lubricated. You need to use clean oils, free of alkalis and acids. The best way- machine oil, any analog or modern remedy from a spray can.

Having lubricated all rubbing and moving parts, open / close the sash several times, turn it on its hinges. Everything should move smoothly, without jerking.

If there are problems now, most likely in the process of adjusting or changing the geometry of the window, the blocker has shifted. It should fit easily into the mating part and fit snugly against the frame. Then the handle turns easily. Move the flap and try again.

Now how to change the handle. The fasteners on which it is held are hidden under a decorative strip. If you look closely, you will see that there is a thin cap. Grab it with your fingers or pry it off with your nails, pull it slightly towards you and turn it to one side. Two bolts open. They are unscrewed, the handle is removed, a new one is put in its place.

We've covered some of the most common problems and how to fix them. Now, not only the adjustment of plastic windows is not a problem for you, you can make minor repairs yourself. You can also conduct yourself service maintenance(grease once a year).

It is not enough to install a PVC window block in the opening. It still needs to be properly adjusted so that the flaps close tightly and without problems. Also, periodic adjustment of the window must then be done independently or with the help of masters in the spring and autumn, in order to transfer it to summer or winter mode work. Moreover, this setting should be treated with full attention. This is necessary not only for the sake of getting rid of drafts, but also to increase the service life of the translucent structure.

How to adjust plastic windows

A plastic window, even in a rational installation, requires maintenance from time to time. The window can serve you for a couple of three years without any particular complaints, but over time, friction may occur at the moments of opening. Problem number 2 - prying out of the sealing gum, and the third - the handle is turned with serious effort.

All of the above breakdowns are not difficult and are eliminated quite simply without the need to call a master: adjusting plastic windows on your own is not difficult and time is not costly. You only need to tighten or, on the contrary, loosen a couple of screw connections. The main thing is to know how this operation is done correctly. Actually, we will talk about this further.

The most demanded operation is the seasonal adjustment of plastic windows: in winter, complete tightness is required, in turn, in summer, you want a greater influx of fresh air mass. This can be achieved by adjusting the fittings of the clamping plane of the plastic window sash.

This operation is quite simple. When you study, be surprised in reality that everything is elementary ...

Adjustment of fittings of plastic windows

The sash of the frame is pressed by the trunnions. These are a kind of metal protrusions on the side of the welding surface. At the moment of turning the handle, they pass over the metal counter plates mounted on the frame. For the possibility of tight adjustment of the fit of the frame and sash, they have an eccentric - either they themselves are made in the form of an oval, or there is an offset adjustment in the center of the protrusion. By changing the location of the trunnions, you can change the downforce, in other words, eliminate the draft from the sash.

Adjustment of casement clamps in plastic windows

From practice, it can be concluded that the shapes of the locking projections can vary significantly. For the planned adjustment of plastic windows, various kinds of tools are used. If you have oval-shaped windows, their position is changed with the help of pliers: they should be clamped and turned to the side.

If the protrusion of the locking device is round, as shown in the left image, it is quite possible to make a slot for a hexagon in it. Having made a detailed examination of them, you will be able to understand which tools are needed for you: a standard screwdriver or a 4 hexagon socket.

The eccentric is turned with pliers or a hexagon

Regularly adjusting the window fittings, do not forget that the weak pressure mechanism- corresponds to the warm season, standard or enhanced - to the winter. If preventive work is carried out in the winter season, first you need to translate window structure to the standard position and check if there is blowing. Simultaneously analyze the condition of the rubber bands on the PVC windows. In winter, the rubber seal mounted around the perimeter is pressed down and, moreover, strongly. Stretching can degrade elasticity over time. The factory warranty for the optimal type of seal is 15 years. But, despite this, if you set the pressure to the maximum, the rubber will wear out much faster. Conclusion from the above information: the position of PVC windows for the winter-summer periods is set by adjusting the position of the locking pins.

We adjust the plastic window from blowing

It happens that PVC windows, after moving the trunnions into the stage of powerful pressure, become not airtight - they begin to blow out of the sashes and it is absolutely useless to change the gum. This can happen when households shrink. In this case, the usual subsidence is observed. At that moment, there is a loss of contact between the locking tabs and the plate. When you turn the window opening handle, the protrusion-pin goes behind the plate, thereby pressing the entire sash. If all this does not happen and drafts are observed, the heat is gradually blown out of the room.

Adjustment of pvc windows

When PVC windows sink, the adjustment is slightly different: first, we move the sash in one groan so that the projections that do not reach the plates for them eventually catch on.

To begin with, decide which pins do not reach the locking plates. This is done mechanically... First, we recommend that you inspect the sash, clearly remember where the protrusions are present. The window should be closed. Grasp the base of the sash frame at the place where the pins are mounted and pull it towards you.

If contact is present, the frame will be stationary, if this does not happen, everything should be moved. So gradually it is checked where there is no contact and plan in which side the sash should be moved. This is done by adjusting the lower and upper hinges.

Adjustment of plastic windows: adjustment of the lower hinges

If the PVC window is difficult to close in the lower area, the sash should be moved using the hinge located at the bottom. There are two adjustments here: one is carried out along the so-called horizon - it moves closer to the loops or at a distance from it, and the second, respectively - in the vertical one - lowers or raises the sash by a few millimeters.

To move the lower sash of the internal compartment closer or further to the loop itself, it is slightly opened. In the lower part of the song there is a hole for a hexagon (less often - for an "asterisk").

Adjustment of the bottom hinge in a PVC window or door

A hexagon is installed in the window, after which, by turning it clockwise, the lower corner approaches the hinge, against - it moves away. Having moved the sash, you need to try to close / open it. Stop immediately after achieving the desired result. If the resource is twisted all the way, and there is no result at all, return everything to the standard position: this adjustment is not correct.

With this screw, you can slightly correct the current state of affairs if, when overlapping the window sashes, the frame at the bottom touches. By bringing it a little closer to the loop, you completely eliminate this malfunction.

On the hinge located at the bottom there is a second screw required for adjustment. To get to it easier, you should set the sash in the position for ventilation, and then dismantle the cover. It is removed by simple actions, you need to pull the edge in your direction by about 1-2 mm and pull it up. Having removed the cap, you can see a recess at the top. 4 mm is installed in it. Hexagon. By turning it clockwise, the sash goes up, against - it lowers.

Adjustment of plastic windows: adjustment of the hinge of the upper location

If you cannot cover the upper corner on plastic windows, you should move it a little... To do this, open the window at least 90 degrees. Of course, less is possible, but it will all be very inconvenient to function. There is a hinge on the top sash. Purely structurally, it differs in that it is located at the bottom; it also has a chip for a hexagon.

Adjusting the plastic window - top hinge

Adjust the upper PVC window hinge

The adjusting screw is located on the side of the structure. Making a rotational movement, we move the sash away from the hinge (if the distant pins from the hinge location do not close) or are located closer to the hinges. One aspect - a gap of a couple of millimeters should remain between the hinge and the sash: it is needed so that the swing-out mechanism can enter there. Based on this, by turning the key by 0.5 amplitude, check how the window functions.

Reading time ≈ 4 minutes

Replacing double-glazed windows is one of the primary stages of repair. However, the installation of plastic windows involves mandatory follow-up maintenance, such as self-adjustment plastic windows for the winter or do-it-yourself minor repairs of plastic windows. There are not many possible breakages of plastic windows, and the repair methods are quite simple.

Adjusting the pressure of plastic windows

Most often, adjusting plastic windows involves adjusting the pressure of plastic windows, namely, winter-summer adjustment. It is clear that in winter time the clamping of the window sashes should be stronger in order to avoid drafts, and in the summer it is better to loosen the clamp.

First you need to make sure that the adjustment of the plastic windows is necessary. To do this, you can use a lit closed window a match or a lighter - if there is a draft, the flame will hesitate or even go out. So you determine the pressure density... If adjusting the pressure of the plastic window is necessary, you will have to do some simple manipulations.

When opening a window pay attention to its butt... There you will find three eccentrics that regulate the pressure of the plastic window, they are also called pins. Using a hexagon, the eccentrics can be turned by video it is shown how to do it correctly.

For a tighter hold turn them a few millimeters to the left to loosen the hold- to the right. The work is very simple, and you can easily adjust the plastic windows yourself. The main thing is to make sure that the pressure density is uniform, and for this, the eccentrics must be set equally.

It is worth paying attention to significant nuance of adjusting the pressure of plastic windows- make the minimum adjustment the first time, as sealing gum on the sash shrink and wear out over time, which means that the adjustment will have to be carried out again. If you immediately press down hard on the sash, the rubber bands will dry out faster, and after that no adjustment will help and you will have to change the sealing tape.

This is also not difficult. The old gum is simply removed, and the new one is installed in a special groove. The only thing you need to be careful with is not to stretch it too much, otherwise it will let air through.

Adjusting the handle of the plastic window

You may be in a situation where window handle broke and the window does not close. This is just one of the most common options for repairing plastic windows with your own hands.

Firstly, you will need to purchase a new handle - they are sold in any construction market and any manufacturer sells components for plastic windows. Second, you need to take off decorative panel covering the handle fasteners to the window. To do this, simply turn it in any direction, and then simply unscrew the screws holding old pen, and screw a new one with them.

Adjustment of fittings of plastic windows

If the window does not close due to the handle does not turn, you can also repair a plastic window yourself. The problem in this case is that the handle was locked by the handle rotation lock when the window was open. Such blockers are installed by almost all manufacturers of plastic windows, in order to avoid breakage of the handles themselves. In this case, the adjustment of the plastic window fittings is quite simple.

Please note what is written on the constipation itself. If there is an inscription AUBI, then you need to direct the sash vertically, and then press on the metal plate with a spring and turn the handle to the desired position.

If the constipation says GU, ROTO or other letters, you need to adjust the metal tongue right under the handle - push it down and turn it parallel to the gasket.

Anti-burglary fittings: key handles, child locks, specialized built-in fittings.

The handle with a lock (key) blocks all the main actions with the window after closing. With the help of the lock, further opening / closing can be excluded. Assorted handles - white, brown, domestic metal, as well as Roto, Schuco (Germany), etc.

The child lock is installed on the bottom of the sash. Allows you to close / open it for ventilation, but excludes opening. In the presence of white and brown sets from the manufacturer - FAB & FIX (Great Britain);

Fittings with three degrees of protection(WK1, WK2, WK3). The Roto NT set is already equipped with the basic level (WK1), contains a mushroom pin in the swing-out mechanism, which engages the strike plate when closed. The bar keeps the opening of the sash from physical shocks - by foot, hand, shoulder. Higher protection classes (WK2 and WK3) imply protection against drilling, burglary, and the use of improvised tools (screwdrivers, pliers, wedges) by intruders.

Glass replacement for safe wearing additional functions- reinforced, triplex. Reinforced glass remains in the frame even if broken. The same process is observed in the event of a fire. The glass will crack from the increase in temperature, but will not crumble, preventing the penetration of new air currents. A distinctive internal grill also prevents unauthorized entry.

Triplex - laminated glass will also protect the house from fragments during mechanical stress (blow with a stone, crowbar). The inner polymer layer will prevent the glass from scattering into fragments.

Installation mosquito nets on the one hand, it protects your home from annoying insects, pieces of dirt, fluff, pollen. On the other hand, it keeps your pets (cats, small dogs) from falling out of the window. We offer all types of nets: anti-pollen, anti-cat, ordinary cloth.
