Six Ways to Make your Windows Last Longer

Are your windows looking a bit worse for wear? Fear not, friend! With a few easy steps, you can make those babies last longer than a marathon runner on a sugar high.

Window Cleanliness

First things first, let’s talk cleanliness. Nobody wants to look out of dirty windows, am I right? Replacement windows are an investment, so it’s worthwhile to do your best to maintain the windows you have. So, make sure to clean your windows and frames regularly. Keep those tracks free from dust and debris for optimal functioning.

Avoid Water Damage

Avoid water damage by ensuring all outside sprinklers and hoses are pointed away from windows, and glean your gutters regularly.

Window Recaulk

But what about those pesky leaks that can pop up when it rains? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Re-caulk those bad boys ASAP to prevent further damage. Check your windows regularly for signs of mold, rot, and condensation, and replace any worn weather stripping or broken hardware right away.

Replace Window Seals

And let’s not forget about the seals. Cracked or worn seals can lead to greater wear and tear on the frame and higher energy bills. So, replace those seals like it’s going out of style!

Avoid Water Damage

Avoid water damage by ensuring all outside sprinklers and hoses are pointed away from windows, and glean your gutters regularly.

Repaint

A little paint goes a long way, too. Repaint those windows every 3-5 years to keep them looking fresh and protected from the elements. And speaking of elements, make sure to avoid water damage by pointing all outside sprinklers and hoses away from windows and clearing out those gutters.
