One. What should I do if my aluminum alloy window is difficult to open and close?
1、There are foreign objects in the grooves of the aluminum alloy windows.
Use a small hook to remove debris from the window grooves, or use a plastic bag and your hands to clean it, then wipe it clean with a cloth. Make sure to clean one side thoroughly, and then pull the window sash to the other side to clean it completely.
2、The sliding wheels at the bottom of the aluminum alloy windows are damaged.
If the sliding mechanism of the aluminum alloy window is damaged, preventing it from opening and closing, you can hire a professional to replace the sliding mechanism. Alternatively, you can purchase replacement sliding mechanisms at a hardware store, remove the window sash, and install the new mechanisms. Please ensure your safety when performing this operation.
3、Window frames have warped.
If the sliding issue is caused by the deformation of the PVC window frame, there is no solution other than replacing the entire frame. Furthermore, we recommend replacing the window frame with a different material, as PVC windows do not meet current construction design requirements for insulation, thermal insulation, and soundproofing. Installing PVC windows will result in an uncomfortable living environment.
II. How to maintain aluminum alloy windows?
1. Conduct regular inspections.
It is essential to regularly inspect aluminum profiles, especially during and after rainy days. Pay close attention to the joints in the aluminum profile frames. If you notice detachment or deformation at these points, you should immediately replace or repair the joint.
2、Regular cleaning
Regularly clean PVC windows, especially during the rainy season, as this can lead to the accumulation of debris in the window tracks. Therefore, it is essential to regularly clean the tracks to ensure they remain free of particles or dust, preventing the window from sticking or operating smoothly.
3、Application tips
When opening windows, it should be done at the lower middle part of the sliding window, which can improve the lifespan of the window. Also, for hinged windows, do not forcefully push on the glass, as this can easily damage the PVC window.
