Liniar Windows Problems
Liniar is a well-known manufacturer that offers window and door systems, among other products. While many consumers have found their products to be reliable and effective, there have been instances of dissatisfaction. This article aims to shed light on some of the issues faced by consumers and provides potential solutions for those experiencing similar problems.
The Problems:
- Dirt Accumulation: A significant issue reported is the accumulation of dirt and grime between the glass and the outer sill of the windows and doors. Despite cleaning efforts by both the installer and representatives from Liniar, the problem persists, with dirt buildup reappearing within short intervals.
- Mediocre Fabrication and Installation: Some consumers have expressed concerns over the quality of the fabrication and installation of Liniar products. The dissatisfaction ranges from noticeable gaps between the spacer bar and the sill to problems in the overall fitting.
- Insufficient Communication: It seems that certain issues, which can be considered as ‘normal’ by the manufacturer, were not communicated to the customers. Customers felt they should have been informed of these potential issues before deciding on Liniar products.
Potential Solutions:
- Regular Cleaning: One suggestion is to regularly clean the accumulated dirt. Using a hose for a thorough wash and then using a thin scraper wrapped in a wet wipe can be effective. This might be a temporary solution, but it can keep the grime at bay.
- Addressing the Algae: The accumulation might not be just dirt; it could also be algae. It’s recommended to remove the glass and clean the gasket with a suitable algae cleaner, which should prevent regrowth.
- Repositioning the Spacer Bar: The spacer bar’s position, which is often below the rubber, could be adjusted to address the dirt visibility issue. Raising the spacer might resolve the problem, though there are concerns about this affecting the unit’s lifespan and aesthetics.
- Seeking Professional Help: If DIY solutions don’t seem to resolve the issue, it’s advised to contact the installers for assistance. Offering your observations and solutions to them might pave the way for a more permanent fix.
- Glazing Tape: Liniar has proposed using glazing tape to address the issue. However, this solution has its limitations. Once the glazing tapes get dirty, they cannot be easily cleaned.
Final Thoughts:
While Liniar offers various products and has its share of satisfied customers, it’s essential to conduct thorough research before deciding on any product. Addressing concerns promptly and ensuring regular maintenance can go a long way in ensuring the longevity and aesthetics of windows and doors.
