Ask your QuestionHi all, Just wondering if you could advise me on a gap in my window where the hinge is. I have a brown uPVC window but it seems to be
letting in a draught. If you sit at the right angle you can see daylight coming through. This is the space between the window opening and the frame,
is this something that can be tightened and re-aligned or does the window opening need replacing? Thanks in advance.
"You’ll need an Alan key to adjust the window frame to pull it back in. You can do this by removing the plastic caps on the top or under side of the hinges."

"You may need new hinges, this will pull the sash In tighter."

the keeps on the jamb can be adjusted slightly on the actual opener theres a small 4mm hole on the bit that moves up and down this rotates in an oval shape so half a turn should bring the sash closer to the frame
hope this helps"
"It’s depends which side the gap is. If the gap coming from hinge side you must replace new hinge if the gap coming from the other side you need to adjust sash by glass."
