Information Regarding Condensation Issue: Condensation has formed on the inside surface of glass. The primary cause of condensation is excess moisture in the air. It shows up on the glass in windows and doors because these surfaces are relatively cool compared to the warm, moist air. Indoor moisture comes from humans, animals and plants. Humidity is created in homes through various activities such as cooking, showering, the clothes dryer and many other day-to-day activities. Since homes today are quite airtight, the moisture caused by these activities becomes trapped inside. Once there is a build-up of moisture in the home, it will deposit itself on objects that are at the same temperature or cooler than the air. Therefore excessive humidity becomes condensation on the room-side glass surface of your window. To reduce humidity in the winter months, try turning the humidifier on your furnace down or off. All gas appliances, the clothes dryer and exhaust fans should be vented to the outside. When showering or cooking turn on a fan or open a window slightly to allow excess moisture to escape. The table below shows the suggested level of relative humidity for inside the home for varying outside temperatures.
Guidelines for adjusting Patio Door Screens There are four spring loaded screen rollers on each screen door, they are located along the top rail at both ends and along the bottom rail at both ends. These rollers can be adjusted up or down with a #2 Philips screwdriver. Issue: Patio Door Screen doesn’t operate smoothly. Check aluminum sill runner and clean away any mortar, caulking, dirt or other debris. Check to see that screen rollers are actually riding on aluminum runner. If screen rollers are not riding on aluminum runner, use a flat head screwdriver or putty knife to gently lift each roller onto aluminum runner. Issue: Patio Door Screen doesn’t close properly. Bring screen door to closed position and look to see where the gap is between the screen door and patio door frame. If there is a gap at the top, adjust the bottom screen roller that is closest to the locking position, by turning the screw clockwise you will raise the screen roller up into the frame of the screen. This will have the effect of lowering the screen door at that point and will remove the gap. If there is a gap at the bottom, adjust the bottom screen roller that is furthest away from the locking position, by turning the screw counterclockwise you will raise the screen roller up into the frame of the screen. This will have the effect of lowering the door at that point and will remove the gap. Issue: Patio Door Screen will not lock. Note: Only attempt to adjust screen door lock after you are satisfied that screen door is operating smoothly and sealing properly. Push thumb latch down located on screen door handle all the way down to its resting position. On the edge of the screen door you will notice a metal catch, using a pencil, mark on the face of the screen door where the top edge of that metal catch is. Bring screen door to the closed position and using a pencil, mark on the face of the screen door where the bottom edge of the screen keeper is. Top edge of metal catch should clear the bottom edge of the screen keeper by 1/8” If the top of the metal catch does not clear the bottom of the screen keeper loosen the two screws on the screen keeper and slide the keeper up or down until the 1/8” clearance is achieved. Tighten screws. Patio door screen should now lock. © 2010 Pollard Windows All Rights Reserved. |
