Wipe down wooden windows regularly with a damp cloth. This helps to remove dust and dirt. Avoid using too much water, as it is likely to encourage rot due to contact with moisture. Wash vinyl and aluminum-framed windows with a mild detergent and soft scrubbing brush. A glass cleaner helps leave your windows sparkling clean. Be sure to clean the window casing and the adjacent wall area as well. This helps to reduce build-up of dirt and debris in the window components, which often contributes to window jams.
Timber and sash case windows should be regularly painted in order to prevent deterioration of the timber and to help improve their appearance – always an added bonus! Ideally, you should re-paint your windows every 3 to 4 years in order to help protect your windows from the elements. Always be sure to clean your windows thoroughly before applying paint. One of the most common problems people encounter with sliding sash windows is that of sticking. Sash windows should glide smoothly up and down. The main reason for sticking is a messy paint job which will literally be sealing the window in place. If you discover paint on the window sills, or even on the window frame itself, simply run a knife or sharp object along the edge to free it. Tip: Strip paint-encrusted hardware by giving it an overnight dip in a warm Crock-Pot filled with sudsy water.

Broken panes (any number of them in a frame) can create a metaphorical hole in your budget, and a literal – in your windows, leaving you with drafts in winter and overheating in summer. Glass tends to break – with that, panes reduce comfort level in your home or workplace. This can happen not only because of wearing and tearing – units do crack under an influence of projectiles, temperature levels jump, misusing or detractors’ activities to name a few. Nowadays, panes of a window can come in different designs, frame materials, and construction specifications. But the main variable is a number of glass units (it influences levels of heat transfer – outside in winter and inside in summer) – you and your master need to account that when replacing them since reinstallation technologies differ too. But the general method of replacing glass panel units includes a deconstruction of a window frame. If there was a special gas in between of panes, it needs to be pumped back after work is done.
