While enjoying our new windows, we often don’t think about the fact that Bauline windows also need care and preparation for winter. Yes, of course, much less care than for wooden ones, but still needed. The design of Bauline windows requires regular cleaning (once every six months) of accumulated dirt, lubricating and adjusting the fittings. The question of preparing Bauline windows for winter arises with the onset of cold weather, but a zealous owner will think about how to adjust Bauline windows for the winter much earlier. After all, prepare the sleigh in the summer and the cart in the winter. Proper preparation of Bauline windows for winter is not difficult, but it is very important and you can most likely handle it yourself. And if you prefer that we do it, we will be happy to help you! Just call and a specialist will prepare your Bauline windows for winter professionally.
So how can you properly prepare Bauline windows for winter yourself?
First, think about what bothered you last winter? How are things going with Bauline windows now? Do they open well? Were there any puddles on the windowsill during heavy rain? 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 the windows, significantly increases the service life of the Bauline window mechanisms. The question arises: how to properly wash a Bauline window so that it does not get damaged? You can safely wash the Bauline window with ordinary soapy water and a soft sponge. We soap the glass (double glazing), the Bauline window profile, the slopes, the 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 Bauline windows, but more on that below.
Bauline profiles
For extrusion, the German manufacturer uses a mixture of PVC with a balanced composition, due to which the surface of the plastic has a silky surface that is pleasant to the touch.
The Baulain profile tolerates frost well, and windows assembled from it can last 40-60 years in the Russian climate. To ensure the resistance of PVC systems to external influences, Bauline technologists selected harmless stabilizers. Profiles made using innovative EcoLogic technology become stronger, do not emit harmful substances even with sudden temperature changes, and retain their original properties for decades.
More than 94% of the whiteness of Bauline windows is provided by Extraweiss technology, based on the use of special additives. Additional components not only give the plastic a dazzling snow-white color, but also help maintain its original saturation. Thanks to another HochGlanz technology, the profiles have a glossy surface on which dust does not accumulate. This facilitates the process of caring for windows and allows you to preserve their aesthetic appeal for a long time. HochGlanz prevents deposits of resins and chemical compounds from forming on the outside of the profile, which is especially important when using windows in large cities.
In addition to all the listed advantages, structures made from Bauline profile systems have important operational advantages:
- high sealing density of sealing contours;
- elegant design;
- stability of shapes;
- high level of heat saving;
- reliability of welds;
- anti-burglary protection.
Bauline is a profile whose main characteristics exceed the requirements of GOST. Thanks to this, the windows have a sufficient margin of safety. To assemble them, the manufacturer offers 4 series of systems with different numbers of cameras and different mounting depths. At the request of clients, profiles are laminated with decorative films that have a service life of 20-25 years. It is also possible to paint in 200 colors according to the RAL scale. This coating on the surface of profiles can last up to 40 years.
Cleaning dirt and lubricating Bauline window fittings
Start insulating your windows for the winter by inspecting the Bauline 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 Bauline. Lubrication points for the Bauline window are marked with special markings. How to lubricate a Bauline 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 Bauline window mechanism. After this, rotate the fittings in different modes several times to distribute the lubricant. Wipe off excess oil from the Bauline window.
Methods for adjusting the pressure of the Bauline window sash 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 Bauline 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.
Feedback on Bauline profile
To choose the perfect Bauline profile, reviews should be used as additional recommendations.
You should not rely solely on the opinions of customers, because they can use windows in completely different conditions. It is most rational to select 2-3 models using reviews, study their parameters and make the final choice with the assistance of a specialist. Evgeniy Likhov (programmer):
“I without haste chose a profile for making windows, studying the websites of German manufacturers.
I looked at the specifications and compared prices. The products of the Baulain brand seemed most suitable to me - the profile, official website and information support from German manufacturers were at the highest level. The brand owners made sure that customers received a full range of services. After consultations, the Bauline 70 system was chosen, which was ideal for our climatic conditions.” Lada Zakharova (entrepreneur):
“To glaze the cottage, I wanted to buy modern windows that would retain heat well and blend with the facade. My favorite models were the Bauline 80 profile, which was specially created for energy-efficient homes. The windows made from it turned out to be super-warm and fit perfectly both into the interior of the rooms and into the façade of our house.” Image source: Bauline official website
Adjusting the Bauline window sash 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 Bauline 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 Bauline window does not close tightly from the bottom, then the bottom hinge needs to be adjusted. 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 Bauline window is open. There is a second adjustment screw on the bottom hinge to lower and raise the sash vertically. If you turn it clockwise, the Bauline window sash will rise. If it's counterclockwise, it will go down.
Comparison table of parameters
In order for windows to be guaranteed to cope with the functions assigned to them, it is recommended to choose a profile “with a reserve” for assembly. That is, its thermal characteristics should be slightly higher than the optimal values. This will allow the windows to successfully withstand periods of the lowest temperatures and cope with strong winds and noise.
| Profile system brand | Installation depth (mm) / Number of chambers | Maximum glass thickness (mm) | Heat transfer resistance coefficient with reinforcing liners (W/m²×°C) | Number of seal circuits |
| Bauline 60 | 58 / 3 | 32 | 0,78 | 2 |
| Bauline 70 | 70 / 5 | 40 | 0,85 | 2 |
| Bauline 70 4×4 | 70 / 4 | 44 | 0,85 | 2 |
| Bauline 80 | 82 / 5 | 50 | 0,94 | 3 |
Sealant for windows Bauline (bauline)
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 Bauline windows is there?
Tips on how to choose a seal for Bauline windows (Bauline)
Open the Bauline 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 Bauline window seal needs to be replaced. Otherwise, in winter, Bauline will blow from this window.
Sealing the seams of a Bauline 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 Bauline windows.
How can I seal the street seams of a Bauline 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 a Bauline window?
- silicone sealant
- acrylic sealant
— cosmofen (liquid plastic)
The described problems with Bauline windows can occur 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 Bauline windows and teach owners how to use Bauline windows.
The end of summer, the beginning of autumn is the time to prepare Bauline windows for winter. If you take care of insulating Bauline windows in advance, you will definitely not freeze at home in winter!
