So, how can you keep your windows and doors in the best shape this spring? Keep reading to find out a few handy tips for ensuring your windows remain clean and high performing for years to come.

Clean your windows inside and out:

We understand that window cleaning may not be your favourite chore, that’s why we’ve create a simple Guide to Cleaning Aluminum and Glass Products for you to follow. Remember that aluminum joinery is low maintenance, not no maintenance. You should use different methods for cleaning based off the specific surface type, which is all clearly explained in our guide. 

Check your windows inside and out:

As part of your spring clean, we suggest a maintenance inspection. Check both the inside and outside of all your window/door frames, sills and tracks to ensure that no debris, dust or dirt is affecting the sliding or opening functionality of your windows. A buildup of debris may also obstruct your windows from sealing properly, potentially allowing the outside air or moisture to enter.

Your windows are exposed to the elements 24/7 and over the winter period you may find that your windows have sustained some general wear and tear. From the outside of your home assess the aluminum and glass for any deterioration or damage. If you find any issue, make sure you get them seen to straight away.

Following this simple regular maintenance program will aid in retaining the appeal and functionality of your windows and doors!
