UPVC Window Cill End Caps

[ptaylor]

Just wondering of someone could give me a bit of advice. I have noticed that a couple of the end cap on my UPVC windows have not been fitted. I know that they are supposed to be fitted before you put the cill in. Is there anything i can do about this now they are in? Can i buy the 150mm ones and cut down to size?

Also on one of the windows at the bottom corner (not locking side) it has developed a small draft, is there anyhting i can do to sort this out?


Any help would be really appreciated

you will have to find out what profile the window are or the cill. and yes you can cut them and fit them after.

open the window and look at the locking system, you will probaly see where the lugs that lock into the frame are, they should have a allen key slot , twist and you will see its offset , turn until it goes more towards the house and you should find the window is a bit stiffer to lock.

Here comes another daft question, how can i find out the profile mate?

Thanks for the advice

Its possible its printed on the edge of the profile, open a window and have a good scout round around the outside of the opener or the inside of the frame, there will be serial numbers, the date and time the profile was extruded and maybe a name.

If not you may need to just google 'upvc cill end caps' and get ones that are close to yours
