uPVC Maintenance Guide for Windows & Doors UPVC windows and doors have extremely low maintenance requirements.
However, to protect your installations and achieve optimum performance, there
are maintenance guidelines you can follow.
This month’s blog at Crowther Window Cleaning
offers a guide to uPVC maintenance for your windows and doors. For more
information, don’t hesitate to call us in Yorkshire on 07775 707 512 .
How to Clean uPVC Frames uPVC window frames should be regularly cleaned with warm
water and mild liquid detergent. Abrasive detergents can damage the frames, so
it is recommended to always use non-abrasive. To get the best result, you
should apply this at least twice a month.
Your window frames may also become stained due to smoke,
cooking fumes and oils.
Condensation Condensation is inevitable and wherever there is moisture in
the air, the varying temperatures on the glass surface will cause it. You can
expect windows in kitchens, bathrooms, and bedrooms to be the most affected.
Double glazing will reduce condensation but will not cure
it. You should provide natural ventilation wherever possible by opening a
window or fitting an extractor fan in your kitchen and bathroom.
Hinge Maintenance You should always keep the hinges of your uPVC doors clean.
Use a silicone spray to clean the hinges and check the tightness of the fixing
screws to avoid any damage.
To maintain the best performance for your windows, it is
important to check the pivots, sliding shoe and track. They should always be
kept free from dirt and debris.
Drainage After heavy rainfall, you may find water at the bottom of
your window and door frames. This is normal and you should not worry. If you
have clear drainage holes in the frame’s base, the water will gradually
disappear over time.
