Windows can present a hazard to children. Most jurisdictions have specific codes requiring devices that limit the travel and opening of windows that are "above grade" in order to prevent a child crawling out an open window. (Above grade indicates that the window is high enough that falling from the window would be a safety risk of consequence.) Your Alberta Vinyl Window Designs dealer or contractor can acquire these devices from the factory as required.

A general rule is to allow one dimension of an opening to be limited to a span of less than 4" (100mm) your local building department is the proper source for information on the requirements for your home.

 




IMPORTANT! A SCREEN IS NOT A SAFETY DEVICE. ITS SOLE PURPOSE IS TO PREVENT REASONABLE PENETRATION FROM INSECTS. IT IS NOT DESIGNED FOR NOR INTENDED TO BE USED IN ANY SAFETY CAPACITY WHATSOEVER. IT WILL NOT PREVENT A CHILD FROM FALLING THROUGH THE WINDOW OPENING! USE PROPER WINDOW OPENING RESTRAINTS AND NEVER LEAVE A CHILD UNATTENDED WITH AN OPEN WINDOW LACKING SUCH DEVICES.

1. A mild detergent can be used to clean the vinyl parts. Any good glass cleaner can be used to clean the glass.

2. Follow the instructions for tilting the sashes prior to cleaning the outside of the glass.

3. After years of use, the outside of the window may pick up numerous pollutants. To remove dirt and restore your window use either a mild detergent or products labeled as vinyl cleaners.

IMPORTANT WARNING! DO NOT USE ANY SOLVENT ON A PAINTED EXTERIOR SURFACE OR INTERIOR WOOD GRAIN.

NOTE: Many solvents can dissolve or mar vinyl products. Do not use acetone or any other solvent on vinyl. Contact Alberta Vinyl Window Design Ltd. prior to using any other solvent.

To clean your exterior painted window or the interior wood grain laminate, use a mild soap solution or Windex type glass cleaner. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasives.

4. Your hardware is treated to resist rust. If the hardware seems to operate sluggishly, a 100% silicone spray can be applied to the areas of moving contact to improve ease of operation. We recommend that this should be done on an annual basis or as required. Flushing out any dirt build up inside the window annually will also improve operation of the window.

5. If your window has "cleaning assisted" exterior glass, do not allow metal or harsh abrasives to touch the exterior glass. Do not allow silicone spray to touch the exterior glass.
