Care & Maintenance

FINISHING: Follow the instructions in the painting section. Aluminum-clad products do not require additional exterior finishing but should be cleaned periodically to remove airborne pollutants and contaminants. Following these guidelines will help ensure your investment is properly protected.
CLEANING GLASS — FULL OPENING SASH: All Ply Gem casements allow you to wash the exterior glass surface from the inside of the home. Open the window to its full open position — this enables you to reach both interior and exterior surfaces from inside. For large windows, a squeegee may be required to reach the outside edge.
LUBRICATION: The hardware will occasionally require lubrication. Apply a light coating of silicone or similar lubricant on the track and pivot points annually to ensure free and easy operation. Avoid petroleum-based lubricants such as oil or petroleum jelly — they stay wet and attract more dirt. Areas with harsh environments (coastal, or high levels of dust, dirt, or sand) will need cleaning and lubrication more often.
OPENING AND CLOSING CASEMENT & AWNING WINDOWS: The roto-operators and crank handle must be firmly fastened to the crank mechanism. The set at the base of the operator handle should be completely seated to avoid stripping the locator teeth. Lubricate with light oil. The sash will lock even if not completely closed — shut the sash to a snug position and engage the locks; the locks will pull the sash tighter against the weather-stripping. On casement windows with two locks, always engage the bottom lock before the top lock.
SCREEN REMOVAL: Two types of screens are used — pull-tabs (held in the window by leaf springs) and plungers. To remove pull-tab screens: hold both tabs and pull gently vertically or horizontally, tilt the screen towards you. To remove plunger screens: pull plungers on one side, then gently pull out the plungers on the opposite side and tilt the screen towards you. Note: Screens are for insect protection only and are not meant to provide safety protection for children.
