Neglecting the proper maintenance needed on your windows can greatly affect their lifespan. These poor habits can stack up and cost you thousands of dollars for replacement windows. Get to know some of the worst habits to avoid.
Maybe you do not mind much about the windows when you wash your home. When you clean the siding of your home, you have to be careful when cleaning near the windows, especially when using a power washer or a high-pressure hose. Even muriatic acid found in some cleaning solutions can easily damage a window’s seal. This can eventually lead to a window’s fogginess between the glass and affected energy efficiency.
If you have a habit of not locking the windows of your home, then your windows company will remind you that just closing them allows the moisture to transfer between indoors and outdoors. This can eventually lead to molds and rot. It is best to make a habit of locking them instead to avoid window damage and prolong its lifespan.
Any cracked glass in the windows of your home is a potential accident for anyone within its proximity. With its strength compromised, this results in air leakage and decreased energy efficiency. The broken glass is also a potential hazard that can harm anyone who’s not careful. To avoid having to pay more on your monthly utility bill, make sure to replace your damaged windows as soon as possible.
