As you go about your house-care routine, do not overlook window maintenance. It is an important measure that will keep your windows in good condition and extend their longevity. Well-maintained windows enhance the security and appearance of your home. Temperature fluctuations, rain, dust, and debris all take their shots at windows. This contributes to a high amount of wear and tear. Below are some maintenance tips for windows.
One of the most common problems you can find with wooden sliding sash windows in the long term is, as with any outdoors wooden products, an issue with rot. The fungus thrives on wet wood, and the more it wears down the wood, the deeper the moisture can penetrate. As the rot works into the wood, it not only becomes unsightly – most commonly producing peeling paint and blackish blemishes – but also weakens the structural integrity of the wood. Ultimately, rotting wood can cause windows to leak. As long as the rot damage is purely superficial, fixing this issue is no problem. Ensure you clean the area thoroughly with a damp cloth and remove any debris before applying a wood hardener. This wonderful product is a quick drying liquid formulated to strengthen and reinforce rotting or decaying wood. If the damage is more extensive then it is advisable that you have the entire sash window removed in order to chemically strip and sand down the remains so you can reuse the parts you wish to keep.

Doors – as much as windows – is your building’s face (either of the commercial or private estate). They allow entering and exiting from a space, so they must function well – and look good too. Doors with glass (such as patio o French) can definitely make your insides brighter with the sunlight. With clean, right-installed panes they also make an interior of your building appear to be more spacious. But there are problems that present in some properties – such as glass (or a whole unit) breaking. This makes your home or workplace worse in terms of appearance and functionality. We truly believe that doors and windows are an important part of a building. That means owners who do not maintain these units so they work and look good are to be considered careless in terms of property. The main argument for this is decreased effectiveness of those doors – broken or neglected. Door repair is needed when there are some functional or visual defects. Namely, paint cracks and glass breakage.
