Polyvinylchloride known as PVC is a thermoplastic product manufactured from salt and petroleum. PVC used in the form of powder is one of the plastic types that are durable and commonly used.

The most important problem for the living spaces located at the high streets, where there is a high level of noise, is the noise pollution. A good level of sound insulation is vital for a peaceful life in your home. There are there main aspects of the sound insulation for windows: the right profile, the right selection of glazing and, the right installation thereof.

Warranty from Pimapen applies only to the products from Pimapen purchased from a Pimapen authorized point of sales. All the materials are under the scope of a 2-year warranty for problems other than those caused by a user error.

The linear meter is a unit of length that is used to calculate the length of a two dimensional material. The unit of measurement “linear meter” is used to calculate the total length of the main PVC profiles used in the window and door systems from Pimapen.

The linear meter is the basic unit of measurement and assessment that may be used in the production of PVC windows and the calculation of the prices thereof. However, this calculation using the linear meter as the unit of measurement does not include the categories of sills, accessories, glazing, marble, labor and installation.

What does the definition of Linear Meter cover for PVC Windows?

• Main profiles (frame profiles, casement profiles, central profiles)
• Support sheets inside the main profiles
• Connectors (screws, central profile connection wedges, pullers)
• Glazing beads
• Gaskets

All the materials within the scope of the linear meter must be used due to the production technique of the PVC window. The quantity and shape as well as all the functions of these materials are identified in a way as to deliver the requested performance according to the project and, the PVC window systems could successfully pass the respective tests only if they employ all these features. Accordingly, no manufacturer of PVC windows may make any change to these materials and identified standards, which could negatively affect the performance.

And the functions outside the above-mentioned scopes are shaped in line with the requirements of the end consumer. While the price for a window from Pimapen is calculated, each of all these extra function demands is analyzed and evaluated accordingly. At this point, a good PVC manufacturer is expected to warn and inform the customer of any such requirement that is contrary to the technique so that the maximum level of benefit and satisfaction could be delivered from the products purchased. This makes it possible to create a more efficient and accurate system.

You are free to choose a color in harmony with the structure of the building without harming the look of the building for the exterior surface of the window and, in harmony with the architecture of your home for the interior surface of the window.

It is important for the safety to choose a tempered or laminated glazing with the product you may choose out of the product range from Pimapen. You are recommended to prefer a double opening system called open-safe for the kid’s rooms to enhance safety.

The product group called Infinity Lifting & Sliding is a system that could be used for a measurement class of 20 mm without a sill.

There is no gasket between frame and casement of a wooden window. Due to the structure of the window, the hot air that contains water vapor in excess goes out and, the cold and moisture-free air goes in. The coldest place in a room where a single glazing wooden window is located is the glazing surface, which is first the place where the vapor would condensate.

In case of a PVC window from Pimapen, there are rubber gaskets between the frame and casement, which offers the insulation of heat, air, water and noise. These gaskets reduce the possibility that the moisture is expelled outside by means of an air flow. The condensation would take place on the window and wall joint and the wall surface, not on the glazing surface. In order to avoid such condensation, it would be sufficient to open the two opposing casements of the window from Pimapen to ventilate the space at least two times a day. It is an advantage from the Pimapen window systems that the ventilation takes place under the control of the user and at any time as may be requested by the user.

TO PREVENT PERSPIRATION

• The water vapor caused by cooking in the kitchen should be removed by means of a range hood and flue.
• The bathroom and toilet should be ventilated after usage by means of the window from Pimapen.
• In order to prevent the moisture from being spread to the other parts of the house, the doors of the kitchen and bathroom should be kept closed.
• Each room of the house should be of 18-200C and, the wall surface temperature should be increased by means of heat insulation, if necessary.
• Do not dry out the clothes inside the house and, if you have to do it, then keep the window open and the door closed in the bathroom.
• Make sure that the rooms are of the same temperature. Keep the room doors open to ensure that the heat is spread evenly.
• Prefer room heaters or central radiators since heaters such as gas stoves and catalytic heaters cause excessive amount of water vapor.
• Never place teapots, laundry etc. on the stove and radiators.
• Increase the ventilation time if there is a lot of flowers and an aquarium in the house.
• During the cleaning of windows and floors with a damp cloth, ventilate the house until they are dried out.
• Do not paint the walls and ceilings of the house with oil painting and, prefer plastic based wallpaper or plastic plaint instead.

IN CASE OF EXCESSIVE PERSPIRATION

• Increase the room temperature to 220C or more so that the building elements and articles are dried.
• Open all the casements of the windows from Pimapen in the house so that the moisture from the heated articles would go out.

Repeat these two steps until all the building elements and articles in the house are fully dried out.

Use moisture absorbers available at construction markets if it is not possible to ventilate the place on a daily basis.

There is a maximum amount of water that could be within the air inside a house during the minimum and maximum temperatures.

The less the air temperature is, the less the water vapor it could contain is.

The rate of humidity is also an important factor for perspiration. If there is an excessive amount of water vapor inside the air, then there would be perspiration when the air touches a surface with a temperature that is lower than the temperature in the room (such as glass).

Keep the moisture percentage in the room low, which is an important factor to prevent perspiration.

According to the respective scientific data, the moisture values of a room at a temperature of 18-20°C:

The most important source of moisture in a building is the variety of the living functions. Cooking, laundry, clothes drying, wiping the floor, wiping the windows, water heating, ironing, watering the flowers etc. are the sources of moisture.

Gas fuels generally used in the houses cause a significant amount of water vapor during the burning. People start to feel uncomfortable when the carbon dioxide in the air hits 0.1%. A person turns 4% of the air value breathed in into carbon dioxide. How much a house should be ventilated is calculated considering this fact.

The phenomenon called moisture (humidity) is the water inside the air in the form of vapor. A certain amount of the water in the air condensate as the form of vapor resulting in perspiration. The amount of water that could be kept in the air under certain temperatures is called the saturation point.

Protection and Cleaning of Windows During the Construction:

Do not work with heat source tools (e.g. welding machines etc.) near the windows. These may irreparable damages around the windows and on the glazing.

Clean the channels that drain out water from the windows by means of the spike end of a vacuum cleaner and then a damp cloth after the construction works have been completed. Make sure that the water discharge hole is not obstructed. Clean these parts from time to time in order to keep them open, which will ensure that you get a better performance. Remove the profile protection bands and the manufacturer’s stickers on the glazing at this time.

The first cleaning for the windows should be carried out with a plenty of water. Otherwise, dust and sand grains stick thereon would cause scratches on the surface!

The protection bands on the windows must be removed once the windows have been properly installed. Keep the protection bands until the construction works have been completed in order to ensure that the window surfaces are not harmed if the construction works are in progress in the building (plastering, painting etc.). These bands may be strongly attached to the window surface if they are exposed to the sun rays for an extended period of time. In such case, use a tool blowing hot air (a hair dryer etc.) on the protection band for about 1 minute in a distance of 10-15 cm away and, pull and remove the band before it gets cold again.

Do not expose the protection bands to the sun rays for an extended period of time.

Periodic Cleaning of Windows:

When cleaning the windows;

• Do not use solvents such as acetone, methylene, chlorite, thinner, gas oil, gasoline, diesel oil etc., powder or liquid detergents containing solid particles, wire wools, sandpaper, which could result in scratches!

Avoid the metal equipment (espagnolette, locking parts etc.) being in touch with water and soap during the cleaning and, dry immediately if they are in touch.

Cleaning the Glazing:

• Use hot water and a clean piece of cloth to get the best result. You may add some detergent to the water if the glazing is excessively contaminated.
• Special cleaning instructions apply to the double glazing with special coating on the external surface (e.g. sun protection glazing). Ask for help from your dealer if you need these instructions.
• Caution: Avoid using abrasive maintenance and polishing materials during the use of the glazing. Likewise, remember not to use scratching tools and razor blades since this could result in scratches on the surface.
• It is possible to install double glazing instead of single glazing only changing the glazing beads.
• You may use a ventilation profile on your joinery by means of changing the glazing.

VENTILATION PROFILE:

These are the vent-holes that could be used on all the series for constant air flow. Use the sliding cover moving left or right to turn it on or off accordingly.

A ventilation profile is specifically recommended for such locations, where there is an intense level of vapor, contaminated air and moisture.

RIGHT VENTILATION OF THE SPACE

Condensation on the interior side of the glazing is the indication that there is no sufficient level of ventilation!

Regular ventilation of the rooms prevents the increase of the humidity rate and, thus the negative effects thereof.

Ventilate your house at certain intervals. The best way for ventilation is to make sure that the air takes a full flow within the room.  (Air draught)

The best method is a 10-minute ventilation by means of keeping the opposite windows open.

• A ventilation time of about 5 to 10 minutes would be sufficient to replace the used, moist air with the clean, cold yet less moist one. The air gets warm to the room temperature immediately after the windows are closed. Any ventilation for a longer period of time cause the internal walls to get colder unnecessarily and, is not considered economic in terms of energy technique.
• Ventilate your room for 2 or 3 times during the day depending on your usage.
• Open the window casement all the way during the ventilation.
• Make sure that only the clean air outside is used during the ventilation and, the moist air should never be circulated in the other rooms of the house.
• Follow the above-mentioned instructions for ventilation during rainy weather.
• It is easier to identify the right ventilation term during the cold seasons.

Any Door and Window accessory is exposed to normal wear and tear as a result of daily usage thereof. Any weather change according to the seasonal conditions cause constant expansions on the building materials. This, of course, affects the joinery and the functions of the joiner as the case may be. Due to these reasons, the window accessories are designed in a way so that they could be fixed with a few adjustments.

Accessories Lubrication:
Just like for any mechanical part, the moving parts of the window accessories should be lubricated with a thin lubricating oil or greased with a solid oil (grease) so that they easily move and maintain their functions for an extended period of times.

Adjustment of the Window Handle:
The bolts on the window handle could come loose in time since it is constantly used and exposed to force. To tighten these bolts, slightly lift the handle chuck cover and turn at 90 degree, and tighten the bolds with the help of a screwdriver.

Window Gaskets:

Clean the black and gray gaskets on the window with soft soap on a regular basis will increase the level of softness and brightness and, facilitate the operation of the casements. In addition, you should check to see if the gaskets are out of the sockets and, manually put them in place in order to maintain the functionally thereof. Do not use pointed and sharp materials to put the gaskets in their places again, otherwise the gaskets might get damaged.
