Helpful Maintenance Tips for Your Home’s Windows
Proper window maintenance not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your living space but also helps to ensure energy-efficiency and longevity. At Liberty Glass, Blinds and Shades, our team provides expert window installation in the greater Tacoma area. And we’d be happy to chat with you about ways to properly maintain your windows. Here’s a look at five window maintenance tips.
Just like any other part of your home, windows require regular cleaning to maintain their clarity and functionality. Dust, dirt, and grime can accumulate on the glass and window frames, impacting the overall appearance. Use a mild glass cleaner and a soft cloth or sponge to wipe away any build-up. Don't forget to clean the window tracks and sills to prevent debris from interfering with the opening and closing mechanisms.
The seal around your windows is crucial for keeping out drafts and moisture. Inspect the caulk and weather stripping regularly, and replace any damaged or deteriorating areas. This simple step can significantly improve energy efficiency by preventing air and water leaks.
Check for signs of rot, mold, or damage to the window frames. Wooden frames, in particular, are susceptible to these issues. If you notice any problems, address them promptly. Repairing or replacing damaged frames can prevent further deterioration and maintain the structural integrity of your windows.
Windows with moving parts, such as sliding or casement windows, benefit from regular lubrication. Use a silicone-based lubricant to keep hinges, tracks, and rollers in good working condition. This not only ensures smooth operation but also helps to reduce wear and tear.
While regular maintenance is crucial, it's also advisable to schedule professional inspections periodically. A trained technician can identify and address issues that may not be immediately apparent, ensuring the long-term performance of your windows.
