Neglecting to take window and door maintenance seriously is unadvised as you need these openings to operate smoothly and cope with seasonal transitions.
Part of the attraction of Permaframe’s window and door products is how easy they are to maintain, with the small amount of upkeep they do need prolonging their energy efficiency, security and performance standards.
Learn how to practice the art of window and door maintenance with us for designs that benefit you season in, season out.
A Seasonal Maintenance Programme
The different seasons throw up various challenges for windows and doors to tolerate. Keep up a maintenance pattern that you carry out each month, mid-season or end-of-season.
Summer and winter are the two toughest seasons they’ll endure, with spring and autumn largely focused on steps for prevention and preparation.
Close monitoring of windows and doors in 1 to 3-month intervals will suffice to identify issues and resolve them.
Spotting The Usual Problem Signs
Problems are less likely to emerge if you regularly check windows and doors.
The appearance of window condensation points to a lack of ventilation or a seal failure. When sliding tracks clog up or a door sticks as you try to open it, that’s more of an operational snag, with frame, finish and glass damage being indicative of significant material issues.
Hardware, Locks And Moving Parts
Each autumn, lubricate door hinges so they don’t stiffen and keep sliding tracks free of dirt and debris for seamless movement.
Any door sweeps to block cold air might need upgrading after winter wear and check on locks and handles in winter in case they become a safety risk or lessen performance.
Spring is a common time for window screens to also be upgraded.
Do You Repair Or Replace?
Inspect components with regularity if your windows and doors are quite old and you don’t want to be left with an expensive repair bill.
You mustn’t delay replacing worn or damaged seals and problems relating to alignment or sliding track impediments are often repairable.
Tired handles and locks are best replaced to preserve function and safety.
Maintenance is the key to quality window and door performance, longevity and more, plus it reduces the likelihood of repairs being needed.
