Maintenance of PVC windows
  • Protective foil profiles must be removed immediately after completion of finishing construction works.
 Very common mistake after the installation of PVC windows is not to remove protective film for months. During this time, it can burn the sun on the outside, thus , its removal is extremely difficult and there is a risk of it remain the windows . Another example is when the room is smoke and protective film is not removed. This leads to a difference in the color of the exposed portion of PVCprofila and the portion covered with foil . Windows explicitly stated that the maximum period for removing the protective film is 3 months . To remove the protective film, DO NOT use sharp tools such as knives, spatulas , needles and other sharp instruments. Soak with lukewarm water sticker and remove it carefully by using a soft cloth to clean the water.
 
  • At least twice a year treat with special grease or oil for sewing machine the opening and closing of PVC windows, so called. hardware. Thus reduces the dry friction and ensure longer life of your windows.
  • After the construction work, check carefully all fitting components for the presence of spray of lime, cement, plaster and similar materials. If there is any such splashing remove them, because they can lead to functional damage due to blockade of the fitting.
  • Check once or twice a year the condition of rubber seals, paying special attention to the seals on the outside that are exposed to direct sunlight.
  • PVC profiles must NOT be treated with abrasives, and grinding equipment.
Their use ensures damage the surface of the windows, which can never be restored to its original appearance. Read carefully all the products you use to clean the windows. Light debris on the surface of the frames can be cleaned with warm water. If heavily soiled, we recommend special cleaners for PVC.

Higher humidity is the cause of condensation on the windows.
