There is a need of maintaining PVC windows and doors clean and dry to avoid
problems such as sticking, corrosion or even rotting. Frequent washing will not
only prolong the lifespan of your windows and composite doors but also ensure
that your house receives ample lighting. It is advisable of you to clean PVC
doors and windows at least two or three times a year and ensure that you
lubricate the moving parts regularly; this is how you can go about it.
Clean with mild detergent. To ensure that you remove all the dirt and sticky
grime, use a warm soap solution and detergent to give your windows and doors a
sparkling new shine. If they are extremely dirty you can opt to use a cream
cleaner but never use abrasive materials including scouring pads, ammonia
products or washing up liquid since they can easily damage the glass or even
degrade the weather seals.
Remove debris in the door frame. Thoroughly clean up the door frame removing
any build up grit and debris to keep them functioning appropriately. The same
case applies to window tracks. Ensure you remove all dead insects, cob webs and
any other materials. For hard built up dirt, you can opt to use a vacuum
cleaner.
Check out all hinges and locking points. Too see to it that your doors and
windows are safe and secure, remove any dirt in the locks or hinges and any
materials that could hinder their movement. A light application lubricant will
help sliding doors and windows moving freely.
When it comes to repairing your windows, go for double glazing insulation
since it reduces heat loss through the window thus improving thermal comfort in
your house. It also reduces external noise and amount of condensation building
up in cold weather.
Homeowners looking forward to see to it that their uPVC doors and windows
last long and serve a welcoming sign to any guest, they have to ensure that they
regularly clean and repair them.

Check your window manufacturer's warranty information carefully before you begin the installation. The greatest problem with trying to apply additional insulation or air-sealant to a window application is over-application. Too much insulation, stuffed into a cavity, the use of any kind of expanding foam, etc can lead to windows that bind and do not operate properly. Done correctly, outside air stays out, inside air stays in, and the window operates effortlessly. residential window replacement
