What is meant by caring for windows?
1) caring for balcony and window fittings – lubrication, as well as adjusting the mechanical part responsible for opening. This process needs to be carried out from one to two times a year. First you need to apply a lubricant to fittings, and then close the window and twist the handle, giving it different positions, so that the lubricant is evenly distributed around the entire perimeter of the mechanism. It is important to remember that turning the handle is carried out only when the leaps are closed.
2) the seals need to be cleaned and treated with silicone lubricant, but in some cases there is enough warm water in order to simply clean them from excess dirt. Lubrication is needed when it comes to primarily rubber seals, which become rude after a certain service life and therefore leave traces on the sash. Smaka is also used when the seals prevent the sash to the frame.
3) the installed plastic windows must also be checked from the point of view of pollution of the drainage hole (it is located below the frame from its outer side). Different types of dirt and dust are stuffed into this hole. It is necessary to clean this part of the window with a cotton swab, removing the plug.
4) and, finally, proper care is required and the surface of the window itself is required. If you wash it with window products that clean and protect a wooden or plastic surface from dust, soot, soot, atmospheric effects, fingerprints, etc. D., then you will always have beautiful windows and a wonderful clean view of them.
Both independent and professional care work should be preceded by washing windows and is carried out at plus temperatures, without precipitation and strong wind.
Remember that regular care will not only protect your wooden or plastic windows, but also help to extend their service life.
