Window master showed what and how to twist to forget about drafts in the house

Before the advent of modern double-glazed windows preparation for winter was something like a Saturday, required the participation of at least 2 people and took at least half a day. Everyone had their own way. Some cooked the kleister on flour or starch and lubricated pieces of paper with them. Others tore sheets into thin strips and soaked them with soap solution. But in any case, the windows were sealed tightly, and only a window could be opened, even if desired. Fortunately, since then, the technology has stepped forward, and adjusting the modes of plastic windows will take you no more than 10 minutes. And how to do it, we will tell in this article.



Adjustment of the modes of plastic windows Check tightness First you need to decide whether it is really something to regulate. This can be done in several ways. If the crevices along the wings are quite large, then the draft in cold time can be felt simply by bringing your hand to the frame.



Otherwise, run along the adjoining line of the window with a lit match. Deflection of the flame indicates the presence of cracks. The windows will need to be adjusted before winter.

It is necessary to configure the windows, with this we have already figured out. But what and where to twist for this? Depending on the design, manufacturer and price category of the double-glazed unit, the adjustment mechanism can be different. As a rule, on each window there are three special eccentrics (top, middle and bottom). Consider their most common types.

1. Round.
   On such hertzes there is usually a mark (dot or star). If she looks towards the apartment, the window is exposed to winter mode. On the street - summer, and up - neutral. You can change the mode using a six-sided key or a suitable screwdriver.
   
   
   
2. Oval.
   In the vertical position, such an eccentric indicates the “summer” regime, horizontal corresponds to the winter regime, diagonally – “neutral”.
   
   
   

Switch modes in winter mode With the help of a six-sided key, turn the eccentric clockwise before turning the strip towards the room. Due to its rotation, the flaps will be pressed against the frame, and cold air will no longer enter the room through the cracks.



After adjusting the first, move to the remaining eccentrics so that the press is uniform throughout the perimeter of the window. Check the closing density with a match, as we described earlier.



If the eccentrics are oval, use the passages or wrench. After that, similarly check for cracks. If you have any questions, check out the detailed video instructions.
