How to Prepare Windows for Winter?

To ensure the longevity of your windows and doors, it is necessary to perform the following tasks at least twice a year (preferably in spring and autumn):

• Use a dry, non-fluffy cloth to wipe away dust, debris, and construction residues from the hardware.
• Check if the hinges of casement windows and doors are securely fastened and tighten the screws if they are loose.
• Window sealing: Inspect the tightness of the windows and ensure there are no gaps or spaces between the frame and the glass.
• Tighten window handles if their bases have become loose.
• Lubricate the tongue of door locks and the hinges, extending them beforehand.
• Examine the condensation drain spaces located at the bottom of the frame and door bottoms.
• Apply silicone grease to the rubber seals in windows and door frames at least twice a year to prevent cracking and maintain elasticity.
• Gradually increase the temperature of heating devices when the heating season begins, rather than doing so abruptly.
• Keep heating devices at least 30 cm away from the glass surface. If the glass is tempered, the distance should be no less than 15 cm to avoid thermal shock.
• Ensure that the temperature of heating devices near the glass does not exceed 65°C.
• Ventilation is crucial. Despite the winter cold, regularly ventilate the rooms to maintain air quality.
