Instruction manual
1
A plastic window (double-glazed window) with proper installation and care will last about 40 years. Modern windows differ in that they are not whimsical at all. They do not need to be painted, glued for the winter, treated with different solutions that prevent the process of drying out of the tree. But it is still necessary to wash the window at least twice a year when changing seasons. Wet cleaning should not be carried out at low temperatures, as the glass may burst or damage the plastic.

You can wash the accumulated dirt and dust with a normal soap solution or use a special tool for washing double-glazed windows. Do not use abrasive substances, rub the surface with hard brushes and sponges, as the profile (plastic frame) may be damaged. To get rid of small cracks will subsequently be impossible. A soft napkin or cloth is best.

To double-glazed windows pleased the whole family, it is not enough just to wash them a couple of times a year. It is important to monitor the hardware - iron inserts that allow the window to open and close. They should be lubricated from time to time so that they do not rust, do not creak and remain well mobile. Solid oil or machine oil is suitable for lubrication. The handle should be subjected to the same procedure.

Sealers in double-glazed windows play an important role. They protect from blowing and perform the function of noise isolation. They must also be carefully wiped with a special tool during washing, and then thoroughly dried. Manufacturers strongly recommend that buyers do not ignore this event for their own peace of mind.

If the owners just decided to install double-glazed windows, then it is necessary to ensure that during installation the windows are in a protective film, otherwise they can be damaged, scratched, which will entail unnecessary headache and frustration. But after installation, after a couple of days, you need to remove the entire film. If you miss a moment, then it will be more difficult to do this. In place of the film, unsightly sticky traces will remain.

The process of washing double-glazed windows is no different from the same in the case of wooden windows.
