The winter mode of PVC windows is easy to set. This can be done by adjusting the seal accordingly. Find an adjustment roller, a characteristic metal pin in the frame of the movable window, which is visible after opening. With its help we can adjust the tightness of the window according to our needs.

To put the windows in winter mode, just tighten the screw on the frame by about 90 degrees. Sometimes it is enough to do this with your fingers or pliers, some models require a special key. When it gets warmer, just unscrew the pin again.

The winter mode on windows is nothing more than pressing the seal harder against the window frame. This means that less fresh air gets into the apartment or house. Each function has advantages and disadvantages, and so do they. Adequate air circulation reduces the risk of allergies.
