Are you tired of having you windows replaced every now and then? With good maintenance, any windows can last longer than it should be. Find out how you can keep your windows longer.

 
Professional Inspection

Having an expert by your side will give you a sense of relief. Hire a professional window installation expert to inspect your windows. The expert can perform a reliable assessment and will let you understand the problem. He/She would be able to pinpoint the areas need to be maintained and at the same time give you some advice on how to properly maintain your windows.

Proper Cleaning

At least once every six months, cleaning your windows is highly recommended for a safer environment. Improper cleaning can cause some permanent damage to the window like scratches on the pane. As much as possible, use cleaning materials which are free of grit and debris. In choosing cleaning solutions or detergents, use only those which specifically state safe for glass cleaning.

Sealing

Gaps that may occur around your window can cause heat to leak out during winter. This can increase your energy bill. Look for cracked or broken panes to avoid this unfortunate situation. Also check the rubber window seals. Over the time, these seals, which hold the glass into the frame, may deteriorate and may cause air and water leaks. Replace them as soon as possible to seal your windows as well as keep the glass in place.

Secured Windows

The most common entry point in burglary are broken windows. If latches and locks of your windows are broken, replaced them with newer or upgraded set of locks to keep your house secured.
Re-painting

For frames, whether its wood or metal, re-painting will help protect the material and will keep its appearance. This should be carefully done in order to prevent the window from getting stuck in case the paint splattered over the moving parts.
