How does the window handle turn? With or without effort? As expected, does the handle go all the way down? Or not? As they say: cleanliness is the key to health! In our case, regular removal of accumulated dirt and lubrication, plus timely adjustment (adjustment) of windows, significantly increases the service life of ACCADO window mechanisms. The question arises: how to properly wash an ACCADO window so that it does not get damaged? You can safely wash the ACCADO window with ordinary soapy water and a soft sponge. We soap the glass (glazed unit), ACCADO window profile (akkado), slopes, window sill, and then wipe it dry with a soft cloth. Check the drainage channels (they are at the bottom of the window frame), maybe they need to be cleaned? It is also important to know how to adjust ACCADO windows, but more on that below.

Checking the tightness of the ACCADO (akkado) window (how to check where the air is blowing from the ACCADO (akkado) window?)

If in summer the problem of blowing through ACCADO windows (Akkado) worries us little, then in winter we don’t want to freeze at home. So, three ways to detect window blowing ACCADO (accado). We check the windows for blowing, look for where the air is blowing from the window ACCADO (akkado).

The first way to check the tightness of an ACCADO window : using a sheet of paper, half an A4 is enough. We open the window sash slightly and expose half of the sheet to the street, close the sash, and lower the handle all the way down. Important! The sheet of paper should not fall on the locks that are installed on the window frame, otherwise it will simply be bitten and the experiment will be carried out incorrectly. We pull out the sheet. Three options: the sheet flies out with a whistle, the sheet comes out with difficulty, it feels like the sheet is about to tear. Important! Thus, the entire perimeter of the window sash is checked. If in most places of such a check the sheet comes out freely (flies out with a whistle), the seal needs to be replaced. If the sheet comes out with difficulty in most places of inspection, the problem of window tightness can be solved by adjusting and lubricating the window. If the sheet is about to tear in most places of inspection, you do not need to do anything with the ACCADO window. You won't be able to blow ACCADO from this window!

The second way to check the tightness of an ACCADO window : using a soap solution. Do you remember how you were looking for a hole in a bicycle tube?))) We make a soap solution. Apply ACCADO around the perimeter of the window. Where the bubbles appear is where it blows.

The third way to check the tightness of an ACCADO window : using a candle flame. Carefully move a burning candle around the perimeter of the window. Where the flame fluctuates, from there it blows from the window ACCADO (akkado).

Cleaning dirt and lubricating ACCADO window fittings

Start insulating your windows for the winter by inspecting the ACCADO window fittings. Remove dirt, especially from the top of the window sash. All folds must be cleaned of deposits and dirt, especially cement and plaster residues. Direct exposure of the fittings to moisture and contact with cleaning agents should be avoided. Then lubricate the window fittings with ACCADO. The ACCADO window lubrication points are marked with special markings. How to lubricate ACCADO window? The most common ones are WD-40, machine oil, grease. Do not under any circumstances lubricate with sunflower oil or olive oil or anything else! Edible oils dry quickly into a sticky substance that will break the ACCADO window mechanism. After this, rotate the fittings in different modes several times to distribute the lubricant. Wipe off excess oil from ACCADO window.

Methods for adjusting the pressure of the ACCADO window sash (akkado) to the frame

There are many manufacturers of window fittings, and each of them has its own way of adjusting the pressure of the window sash, but there are also some general principles on how to tighten ACCADO windows. Open the window sash. At the end of the sash, find the eccentric pins. Most often they can be adjusted using a hex or star wrench. Usually, there is a mark on the trunnion - a small strip. By default, it is set up - neutral position. By turning the trunnions to the left or right, you can strengthen or weaken the pressure of the window sash to the frame, i.e. change the winter-summer mode yourself.

Accessories for plastic windows

It is likely that you have already repeatedly heard about various breakdowns of metal-plastic windows: a broken handle, drafts, loose sash closure, windows leaking water, etc. Yes, such problems can arise, but their root, as a rule, is not in the window structure itself, but in the fittings. Therefore, we want to give you some recommendations on how to choose window fittings.

Market leaders and second-rate products

As in any segment, there are both manufacturers of truly first-class fittings, as well as less reliable ones. At the moment there are several manufacturers and products that we can safely recommend:

• Vorne fittings;• GU fittings;• MASO fittings;• Roto fittings;• Siegenia fittings.

These manufacturers have proven themselves to be truly reliable and responsible. Although in some cases their products are more expensive than their analogues, this is fully justified by their quality and durability. There are also budget fittings for windows - Fornax, Internika or Akado. Yes, its cost is lower, but the opening cycles are 2 times less, and the quality often leaves much to be desired, since there are a lot of fakes on the market. It is necessary to understand that the wrong choice and excessive savings entail a number of negative consequences:

• The windows are blowing; • Condensation forms on the glass; • Handles break quickly; • Frequent window adjustments are required; • The window does not close tightly, etc.

Adjusting the ACCADO window sash (accado) vertically and horizontally

A shift in the window sash or a slight bevel can be removed by horizontal adjustment. The position of the window sash is adjusted using the upper and lower fastening loops. This can usually be done using a hex wrench. The adjusting screw in the bottom hinge allows you to adjust the window sash from the outside and inside. If you turn the key to the right, the ACCADO window sash rises. If you turn it to the left, the angle of the window sash lowers. Also, the top hinge is adjusted when the window sash is open. You need to move the window sash back and forth no more than 2 mm. If the ACCADO window does not close tightly from the bottom, then you need to adjust the bottom hinge. If you need to press or move the window sash towards (away from) the lower hinge, then adjust the position of the sash when the window is open ACCADO. There is a second adjustment screw on the bottom hinge to lower and raise the sash vertically. If you turn it clockwise, the ACCADO window sash will rise. If it's counterclockwise, it will go down.

Sealing for windows ACCADO (akkado)

The most popular window seals: Rehau, KBE, Shlegel Q-Lon

In most window designs, two perimeter seals are installed. The first sealing circuit is installed on the window frame - the frame seal. The second contour of the seal is placed on the window sash - the narthex seal. Premium windows have three perimeter seals.

What kind of sealant for ACCADO (akkado) windows is there?

Tips on how to choose a window seal ACCADO (akkado)

Open the ACCADO window. Use a damp cloth to clean the seal from visible dirt. Examine it carefully. On all contours, the seal must be elastic, without visible cracks or tears, and lie flat in the groove without any bumps. Pay attention to the corners. If everything is in order, then lubricate it with silicone grease. If not, then the ACCADO window seal needs to be replaced. Otherwise, in winter ACCADO will blow from this window.

What are window fittings?

Fittings are all the mechanisms that provide fastening and mobility of window elements: hinges, locking mechanisms, scissors.

The fittings are responsible for several things in the functioning of the window mechanism:

1. Safety. Anti-burglary fittings save the room from unauthorized entry. And child locks allow you to protect children by preventing them from opening a window on their own or crawling through the crack of an open window.
2. Tightness. Good fittings should press the window sashes tightly to prevent drafts.
3. Ventilation. Swivel and tilt-and-turn mechanisms allow you to ventilate the room.
4. Convenience and ease of use. Properly selected fittings ensure smooth operation when opening and closing the window.

How to choose window fittings?

The quality of window fittings depends primarily on the steel used. The denser and more hardened the material, the longer the window will last.

It is also worth paying attention to the country in which the accessories are produced. Traditionally, preference is given to European countries.

The VegaAvangard company uses fittings from three manufacturers: Accado (economy class), Internika (standard) and Roto (premium class).

Accado fittings

The Turkish manufacturer Accado talks about the following advantages of this fittings:

1. All surfaces of the parts are alkaline galvanized with a thickness of 12 microns.
2. The hinges of sliding systems are made of aluminum alloy.
3. The smooth operation of the mechanism is ensured by recesses in the metal sheets and the double locking function.
4. The design includes a lock that protects the window from unwanted closures.

There are also disadvantages to using this hardware:

1. The manufacturer provides a warranty of only 12 years (this is a relatively short service life of the window).
2. The fittings do not withstand low temperatures well. The lower the temperature, the faster the service life of the window decreases.

Internika fittings

The production of the TBM subsidiary is located in Slovenia. The name of the company is not so widely known, since it has only existed since 2010.

Among the advantages it should be noted:

1. The lightness of the fittings, which is achieved thanks to the perforation of the moving parts. In addition, this protects against additional mechanical damage.
2. Rotating locking pins ensure maximum sash seal.
3. The fittings are covered with a special anti-corrosion coating SilBear. The manufacturer claims that the material can withstand 480 hours in salt fog before the first rust appears. GOST requires only 240.

You can't do without disadvantages:

1. Low brand prevalence. If you still choose this fitting, it will not be easy to find a company that works with Internik.
2. Small selection of colors and designs.

Roto fittings

German Roto fittings are of higher quality and have a longer service life.

The manufacturer notes:

1. Thanks to the modular system, assembling Roto fittings is much easier and faster.
2. The surface is covered with galvanization, chrome and a special protective varnish, which significantly increases the service life of the window. This way the fittings are less susceptible to corrosion and mechanical damage.
3. The standard equipment package from the German manufacturer already includes an anti-burglary mechanism.
4. The company presents a wide selection of fittings designs: handle linings, a wide palette of colors.

There are few disadvantages, but they still exist:

1. Roto fittings are known for their good quality and durability, which is why you can often run into fakes.
2. Colored handles and hinges may fade over time, and gold or silver plating may wear off. This does not affect functionality, and the pads can always be replaced by the manufacturer.

Premium fittings will always be priced above average. But experience shows that it is better not to skimp on such durable things as windows.

Sealing the seams of an ACCADO window with thermal insulation materials

In case of improper installation, sealing the seams with thermal insulation materials may be the only solution. Sealing installation seams and joints with special heat-insulating materials is one of the most effective ways to insulate ACCADO windows.

How can I seal the street seams of an ACCADO window?

- polyurethane foam, which must be plastered or covered with strips

- mineral wool, which must be covered with strips

- polystyrene foam, which must be covered with strips

— liquid rubber (STIZ)

How can I seal the internal joining seams of an ACCADO window?

- silicone sealant

- acrylic sealant

— cosmofen (liquid plastic)

The described problems with ACCADO (akkado) windows can appear due to poor-quality installation of a metal-plastic structure or during a long service life - longer than 10 years. During installation, installers had to familiarize themselves with the design properties of ACCADO windows and teach owners how to use ACCADO windows.

The end of summer, the beginning of autumn is the time to prepare ACCADO windows for winter. If you take care of ACCADO window insulation in advance, you will definitely not freeze at home in winter!
