Part 4: How to Care For Your Anderson Jalousie Windows
This Anderson Jalousie Window has been engineered with the finest materials available to give you years of faithful service. Jalousies do require some maintenance for maximum performance.

What to do if:Louvers work hard – unfasted operator, use a small brush or a liquid detergent and water, and wash out dust and dirt from behind metal clips. Spray on a silicone lubricant, work louvers with flipping action until they work free and easy.Check for bent ciips – one bent clip can keep all louvers from closing. Check frames for distortion. If frames are bowed, it is necessary to loosen frame screws and plumb both jambs.If louvers do not close completely – To make louvers close tighter, loosen screw attaching draw bar and operator and slide square piece on operator link down 1/8″. Re-tighten screw. Repeat this step until operator “snaps” louvers into a locked position.If louvers will not stay in a open position – tighten hex nut on back side of chrome lever of operator.This article was published on Friday 30 March, 2012.
