Maintenance of gaskets and water flow out holes

Like all window components, gaskets also require regular maintenance to ensure the quality and long-term use of windows. As the gaskets wear out, the insulation of the windows deteriorates, causing a feeling of cold and noise in the room. The most common cause of wear and tear on window gaskets depends on seasonal changes and water.

Recommendations for maintaining gaskets and water drainage channels:

• It is necessary to clean dust, trash and construction debris, because as a result of them the gaskets may crack and deform.
• Rubber gaskets inserted in the window and door panels should be lubricated with silicone grease minimum twice a year so the gaskets do not crack and stay elastic. Thus, tightness of the window shall be preserved.
• Check condensate drain ducts are located at the bottom section of the frame and bottom of the panel. If they contain trash and mud, clean it, otherwise water can start collecting inside the frame and leak inside the room.
• Check if the gaps between windows are properly closed and insulated. This is important to maintain the appropriate temperature inside your home and reduce energy consumption.
• Periodically inspect whether windows are closing properly and ensure that cold air or moisture does not enter the interior.
