Proper Maintenance of PVC or Aluminum Windows and Doors, and Sliding Systems

Proper maintenance of PVC or aluminum windows and doors, as well as sliding systems, is crucial for ensuring optimal functionality and extending their lifespan, and should be performed regularly. Below, we present VEFASISTEM’s recommended methods for keeping the windows and doors in your home in good condition:

Maintenance of PVC Windows and Doors:

  1. Regular cleaning: Use warm water and mild detergent to clean both the frames and the exterior and interior surfaces of PVC windows and doors. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges that could damage the surface.
  2. Seal inspection: Periodically check the seals around the windows and doors for tightness and condition. Replace any damaged seals to maintain thermal and sound insulation.
  3. UV protection: Apply a special UV protection agent to prevent discoloration and damage to PVC profiles caused by prolonged sun exposure.
  4. Debris removal: Regularly clean the drainage channels of the windows to ensure efficient rainwater drainage and prevent the buildup of dirt and debris.

Maintenance of Aluminum Windows and Doors:

  1. Gentle cleaning: Use water and mild detergent to gently clean the exterior and interior surfaces of aluminum windows and doors. Avoid abrasive cleaning products that can damage the paint or anodizing.
  2. Corrosion inspection: Regularly inspect aluminum surfaces for signs of corrosion. Apply an additional protective layer if necessary to prevent oxidation and damage.
  3. Lubricating mechanisms: Apply silicone-based lubricant to the opening and closing mechanisms to ensure smooth operation and extend the lifespan of the components.

Maintenance of Sliding Systems:

  1. Cleaning tracks and rollers: Clean the tracks and rollers of sliding systems to remove dirt and debris that may affect the smooth operation of the doors or windows.
  2. Periodic adjustment: Check and adjust the sliding system periodically to ensure smooth and effortless opening and closing. Make sure the doors or windows move easily along the tracks.
  3. Lubricating components: Apply lubricant to the rollers and mechanisms of the sliding systems to reduce friction and extend the lifespan of the components.
