As the proud owner of plastic windows, you should still take the time to maintain their dazzling appearance. There are several secrets that allow PVC windows to shine and delight the eye at any time of the year.

7 secrets of proper care for plastic windows


Secret number 1
Wipe the glass with a special protective agent once every six months

Urban dirt and soot forces windows to be washed about every two weeks, especially in the summer. The rest of the time it is necessary to regularly clean the surface with a damp cloth from the inside. Use any detergents that do not contain chlorine, alcohol additives, gasoline.

Stained-glass plastic windows require special care. Do not use rough or sharp sponges when cleaning.

It is enough to apply a special protective agent for the PVC profile every six months. Typically, manufacturers recommend a number of such tools.

Secret number 2
Wash rubber seals in spring and autumn

Excess moisture in the rubber inserts of plastic windows is not needed. Therefore, they are advised to wash them twice a year with a soft cloth. Do not use solvent.

Secret number 3
Treat rubber seals with products containing glycerin and silicone

Talcum, silicone oil help increase the elasticity of the sealant. This affects insulation performance.

Secret number 4
Lubricate plastic window hardware with oil once a year.

Both automobile oil and solid oil are suitable. Make sure that no foreign objects get into the moving mechanisms of the window.
The pen requires special attention. With frequent opening, the fasteners may become loose, it is necessary to tighten the screws.

Secret number 5
Clean the mosquito net for the winter

It is better to wash the net with soapy water and store in a dry place. In winter, it does not function, but only darkens the window.

Secret number 6
Clean drain holes regularly

The design of the PVC window can deteriorate if water and dirt accumulate in it.

Secret number 7
Do not leave the plastic window open for long

Mobile mechanisms of a double-glazed window are deformed if they are constantly under weight. The window will become difficult to open and close.

Remember the elementary rules - you can not put hot objects on the windowsill, you can not strike at the structure, allow scratches, it is better to close the hot batteries.

Good care for plastic windows is the key to their durability and beautiful appearance.

    Tips are good! I envy those who manage to wash windows every 2 weeks! )))
    My 5 cents:
    No. 5 The grid works in the winter, if it can get cigarette butts from above.
    No. 7 Worst case, if the window is open 90 degrees, i.e. perpendicularly. At the same time, the maximum load on the structure.If you open or open wide - loads will not be so critical. But slotted “winter” airing will not affect at all, the main thing is that there should be no icing.

    We changed the wooden windows in the apartment to plastic back in 2011. So with proper care for them - everything is just fine! Now we think that it is time to change the windows in the country.
