In order to provide comfort and protection from loud sounds in the house, it is possible to install windows with good sound insulation indicators. This will give you the opportunity to relax or work in peace, even if the windows of your house overlook a busy highway, train station, construction site or playground. So when choosing metal-plastic windows or replacing them, among other things, pay attention to their noise insulation characteristics.

If you ordered windows from a trusted supplier, and the installation was carried out by highly qualified specialists, then the situation described in the title rarely occurs. All the rules of care and adjustment are usually told when buying, installing and subsequent maintenance. However, if you have a window sash (or a door leaf) hanging on one hinge, or you need to make extra efforts to close the window — it's worth figuring out what the problem is.

The window sill very often serves us as another surface for storing things or for installing pots with flowers. Therefore, it gets dirty quite often too. The good news is that PVC, of which the window sill board consists, is unpretentious in care. And the main rule of window sill cleaning is that the sooner you remove the contamination, the easier it will be to do it.

The energy efficiency of a window is its basic characteristic. But the level of protection of windows from heat loss is radically different depending on the quality of the assembly, profile, fittings and double-glazed windows.

Not only window structures are produced on the basis of a plastic profile. Metal—plastic doors are also quite popular today - at the same time, high strength, energy efficiency and versatility can be included among their advantages.

Thanks to the thoughtful design of the fittings, the adjustment of plastic windows with your own hands is quite possible. Moreover, it must be carried out periodically — even the heaviest shutters during intensive operation can deform over time, which will lead to problems in opening and closing the plastic window. Another possible problem is a decrease in the density of the sash pressing against the frame, which is also eliminated by adjustment.

The question of whether to choose a glossy or matte window sill for installation in a room often arises. Both glossy and matte models are available on the market — and besides them there are also window sills with intermediate texture options. The differences between them are significant: such window sills look different in the interior, and accumulate pollution in different ways. Therefore, when choosing, you need to take into account not only the appearance of the structure, but also the conditions under which the plastic window sill will be operated, and whether you will be able to provide regular surface care.

In the warm season, mosquito nets are an indispensable accessory for plastic windows. They protect against insects and, in addition, can prevent (or significantly reduce) the ingress of dust and plant pollen into the room.
