The winter mode of PVC windows is easy to set. This can be done by adjusting the seal accordingly. Find an adjustment roller, a characteristic metal pin in the frame of the movable window, which is visible after opening. With its help we can adjust the tightness of the window according to our needs.

To put the windows in winter mode, just tighten the screw on the frame by about 90 degrees. Sometimes it is enough to do this with your fingers or pliers, some models require a special key. When it gets warmer, just unscrew the pin again.

The winter mode on windows is nothing more than pressing the seal harder against the window frame. This means that less fresh air gets into the apartment or house. Each function has advantages and disadvantages, and so do they. Adequate air circulation reduces the risk of allergies.

Adjustment of this accessory, depending on the type, is carried out by turning by hand, with pliers or a screwdriver. In some cases, before turning, the mechanism must be pulled towards itself and only then turned.

The main seasonal adjustment point of window frames is the need to constantly transfer them from “summer” to “winter” and vice versa. With strong “winter” pressure, the rubber seal gradually begins to deteriorate. Often, owners of PVC windows are faced with the need to change this rubber after a few years. This happens precisely because, according to the window manufacturer’s prescription, the sash is not transferred to summer mode with a weakened clamp, but is left like this after winter.

These few tips are essential to reduce your heating costs in winter with full use.
