Why is adjustment important?

A specialist adjusting a window — on-site hinge tuning

Windows and doors shift over time — even in a new building. Building settlement, temperature swings and daily use gradually change the position of the hinges and locking mechanisms. The result: gaps, draughts and incomplete closing, often noticed only when it gets cold in winter.

Heat loss is often blamed on the window, but the real cause is inaccurate adjustment. If the sash presses unevenly around the perimeter, the seal does not work properly — and heat escapes. Studies show that up to 30% of heating energy can be lost for this reason.

Equally important is security. A loosely closed window or a balcony door with a sagging hinge is easier to open from outside. Adjustment ensures the lock or handle works with the right resistance and the sash presses along the entire length of the frame.

Finally — condensation and mould. If cold air can get in through the smallest gap, moisture forms on the frame and windowsill. This is the cause of mould in many flats where the windows seem to look fine. To avoid it, regular servicing is enough: cleaning and lubricating the hardware once or twice a year significantly extends the window’s life, while adjustment only needs doing every two to three years — or whenever the first signs appear. This approach protects the window for 10–15 years without major repairs.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know a window needs adjustment?+
If the window closes with difficulty, there is a draught, condensation forms on the glass, or there are rattling sounds — these are clear signs that adjustment is needed. A visible gap between the frame and the sash also indicates inaccurate hinge positioning.
How often should PVC windows be adjusted?+
Adjustment is recommended every 2–3 years — or sooner if the first signs appear: draughts, difficult closing or a visible gap. In addition, cleaning and lubricating the hardware once a year significantly extends the window’s life and reduces the need for adjustment.
Does adjustment help save heat?+
Yes, significantly. Even a small hinge tweak can reduce heat loss by 15–20%, as the window presses tightly against the seal around the whole perimeter. That means lower utility bills and greater comfort at home all year round.
How long does adjusting one window take?+
On average 10–20 minutes per window depending on its condition and type. A flat with 5–6 windows usually takes about 1–1.5 hours including a check. Adjusting wooden windows may take a little longer if lubrication is required.
Is adjusting wooden windows different from PVC?+
Wooden windows use the same hardware as plastic ones, so basic adjustment — tuning the hinges and locking mechanism — is very similar and costs the same. However, if more complex work is needed, such as geometry correction, the construction of a wooden window makes it considerably harder: wood is sensitive to moisture, its dimensions change seasonally, and working on the frame requires extra time and skill. So in such cases adjusting wooden windows is both more expensive and slower than PVC.
Can adjustment be done without a specialist?+
Window adjustment is quite a complex process if you do not know exactly what to do and in what order. Simply turning the hinges at random can have the opposite effect — the window closes even worse or the hardware gets damaged. That is why we recommend leaving adjustment to professionals: it saves time and stress and prevents more expensive repairs in the future.

A technician’s tip

Don’t ignore unusual noises — better to fix them in time

If you hear unusual noises when opening or closing a window or door — squeaking, knocking or friction — do not put off a visit. Such sounds often mean the hardware is already working under extra strain. If the problem is not fixed in time, it can lead to complete hardware failure — a situation where the window or door can no longer be opened or closed. A technician may not be available immediately, and a window or door with a damaged mechanism cannot wait — especially in winter, when every hour of delay means cold indoors. Contact us at the first signs — it is much faster, cheaper and easier than an emergency repair.
