1.Clean the Glass:

To keep your double glazed windows sparkling and clear, clean the glass surfaces regularly. Use a soft cloth or sponge with a mild detergent mixed in warm water. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can scratch the glass

2. Clean the Frames:

The frames of your double glazed windows also require attention. Use a non-abrasive cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the frames, removing any dirt or grime. This helps maintain the aesthetic appeal of your windows and prevents the build-up of materials that could potentially damage the frame over time.

Inspecting Seals and Gaskets

1. Check the Seals: 

Periodically inspect the seals around your windows to ensure they remain intact. Well-maintained seals are crucial for energy efficiency and preventing drafts.

2. Examine the Gaskets:

Gaskets around the windows ensure a tight fit and prevent air leakage. Over time, gaskets can wear out or become damaged. Regularly check for signs of wear and replace them if necessary to maintain the insulating properties of your windows.

Proper Ventilation and Condensation Control

1. Manage Condensation:

Double glazed windows are designed to reduce condensation, but under certain conditions, it can still occur. Use ventilation fans in areas prone to high humidity, such as kitchens and bathrooms, to minimise condensation. If you do notice condensation between the panes, it might indicate a problem with the seal, and we recommend reaching out to us for an assessment.

2. Ensure Adequate Ventilation:

Good ventilation is essential to prevent moisture build-up and maintain indoor air quality. Open your windows regularly to allow fresh air to circulate, which helps prevent mould and mildew growth.

Conclusion

Proper maintenance of your double glazed windows ensures they continue to provide excellent insulation, energy efficiency, and noise reduction for years to come. By following these tips you can maximise the lifespan and benefits of your windows.
