Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Installation of the Crystal LH and RH Side Hung Fixed Centre Agate and White Clear Triple Glazed Window is made straightforward with the included components. Ensure the opening is correctly measured, accounting for the overall dimensions which include the PVC cill. Use the provided glazing packers to ensure the unit is plumb and level within the frame. Secure the window according to standard building practices for your region, paying close attention to the locking mechanism and any expansion gaps.
Compatibility:
This window is designed for standard wall openings. The PVCu construction is compatible with most building materials. Note that the handing (LH/RH) is determined when viewed from the exterior. Always confirm the correct handing for your specific installation point.
Care:
To maintain the appearance and functionality of your window:
- Frame Cleaning: Wipe the PVCu frame regularly with a soft, damp cloth and mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the surface.
- Glass Cleaning: Clean the glass using a standard glass cleaner and a lint-free cloth or squeegee. For the triple glazed unit, focus on the exterior and interior surfaces.
- Hardware Maintenance: Periodically check the espag locking mechanism and hinges. Lubricate moving parts with a silicone-based lubricant if they become stiff. Ensure the trickle vents are clear of debris.
- Gasket Check: Inspect the window seals (gaskets) for any signs of wear or damage. Replace if they appear cracked or have lost their elasticity to maintain weatherproofing.
