Adjusting Plastic Windows Yourself — Step-by-Step Instructions

Over time, plastic windows start to work worse: a draught appears, the window closes badly, the sash catches the frame. 👉 In such cases, adjusting the PVC window helps. Let's look at how to do it yourself and when it's better to call a master.

🔧 When a window needs adjusting

The main signs:

• a draught from the window;
• the sash has sagged;
• the window doesn't close all the way;
• the handle turns stiffly.

🛠 What you'll need

• a hex key (usually 4 mm);
• a screwdriver;
• a bit of care.

📌 Step-by-step window adjustment

1. Adjusting the pressure. Find the eccentrics on the sash and turn them: towards the seal — stronger pressure (winter); away from the seal — weaker (summer).

2. Adjusting the sash height. There's a screw in the bottom hinge: clockwise raises the sash, anticlockwise lowers it.

3. Horizontal adjustment. This lets you remove a misalignment of the sash.

4. Lubricating the hardware. Be sure to treat the mechanism with machine oil or a special lubricant.
