How To Ensure Long-Lasting Upvc Profiles?

uPVC windows have become the most sought-after window frames in the market. This is due to their durability, affordability, the sleek look they bring to your windows- no matter what type of window glass is used, and the utility they provide, such as thermal insulation. Another advantage they boast of is easy maintenance. Keeping them clean and shining will not take much time and effort, rather it will just require minimal care on your part. Following these simple steps will help ensure that you extend the life of your window frames significantly.

•It doesn’t take much for window frames to get dirty, with the abundance of dust, cobwebs, insects, raindrops and so on around your house. The area on the frame of the window that is visible when it is closed must be washed every six months from both the inside and the outside, with non-abrasive cloths and liquids. This is important to ensure that the plastic coating of the window is not scratched.

•Ideally, the window cleaner agent would be the most appropriate, but a solution made of a small amount of vinegar added to water can also do the trick. The best way to clean is to spray this mixture gently onto the frame, let the vinegar settle, and then wipe it away with a soft cloth or rag. You can then wipe over the surfaces once again with a wet cloth to take away any remnants.

•The areas that become visible when opened must be brushed and cleaned regularly. Use a vacuum cleaner to clean the small corners. If they are not able to take away the dust, you can try using an old toothbrush, or pipe cleaners. Windows that have drainage holes need to be cleaned regularly to rid them of moisture, especially if they are in the balcony and the weather is humid. 

•Lubricate the hinges regularly to allow smooth opening and closing of the windows, and to ensure that there is no squeaky noise while doing so. Inspect the seals to ensure that there is no problem. Check the screws and other small parts as well to make sure that they are operating smoothly, and see that there is no rust.

•You might need to clean your windows more often during the rainy season, when there is excessive dust or dirt, or other such weather conditions, and depending on how elaborately you want to clean them. But keeping them shining may not only keep them looking tidy, but may also help extend their longevity. 

You may have now understood the reason uPVC frames are so popular with people since they are so easy to maintain and care for. So install uPVC windows in your house, and follow these steps to extend their life.
