What should you pay attention to                      
 

Therefore, the following points must be paid attention to during installation from Chimgreen- upvc windows and doors company:

1. All screws that should be fastened must be tightened during installation to prevent loosening or falling off, affecting the use and safety of doors and windows:

2. If the gap between the door and window frame and the opening of the wall is not filled tightly with Styrofoam, air will enter and water will seep;

3. The last process of installation is to clean and sanitize, and it is also a link that is easily overlooked. After the doors and windows are in place in the hole until the completion of Anyuan, the construction period is relatively long, especially in the cross-operation with the civil construction department, it is difficult to avoid the cement mortar and other building materials in the grooves of the plastic door and window profiles, or pollution. All these pollutants on the surface of PVC profiles, if not cleaned up in time, will be scratched, affecting the opening and closing of doors and windows or even damage;

4. If you don't take the installation quality self-inspection seriously and just go through the motions, you will not be able to find quality problems, you will not be satisfied with users, and you will gain a good social reputation. For example, the quality of the welding seam was not carefully checked during the installation process, and cracked products were installed for the user, which affected the interests and caused the user to be dissatisfied; he did not check whether the drainage holes were unblocked, and the drainage holes had been blocked by cement mortar, and the user did not wait until it rained. The water can’t flow out when I find out; I don’t check whether the installation of the accessories is complete. When the sandstorm comes and the user finds that the house is full of dirt, they know that the windproof block is not installed; , It turned out to be the fault of the cement mortar block, and it was the reason of not careful cleaning after installation.

5. As a building component product, plastic doors and windows must meet the building's physical performance standards and various functional requirements. Although the safety of use has not been proposed separately, the general knowledge of the door and window manufacturing industry knows that doors and windows are in dynamic load and under the action of static load, it should have sufficient strength. As a specific product, doors and windows must not only ensure the function of use but also ensure the safety of use. Safety, the first is determined by the design and manufacturing process, and the second is determined by the installation process, especially the installation, that is, the final check before the product is delivered for use. In the construction of doors and windows, there have been many cases of falling sashes, which have caused a shock to society. We must learn a lesson to ensure the installation quality and safety and reliability.
