PVC windows are designed for long-term use, but their actual lifespan strongly depends on proper maintenance. Without regular care, performance issues can appear much sooner than expected.<\/p>\n

1. Regular adjustment<\/strong>
Window mechanisms should be adjusted every 1\u20132 years. This prevents misalignment, reduces wear, and ensures smooth operation.<\/p>\n

2. Seal maintenance<\/strong>
Rubber seals must be cleaned and treated with silicone-based products to maintain elasticity. Damaged seals lead to heat loss and drafts.<\/p>\n

3. Hardware lubrication<\/strong>
Hinges and locking mechanisms require periodic lubrication. Dry hardware wears out faster and may require costly replacement.<\/p>\n

4. Proper ventilation<\/strong>
Airtight PVC windows require controlled ventilation. Without it, condensation forms and negatively affects frames and seals.<\/p>\n

5. Gentle cleaning<\/strong>
Avoid abrasive cleaners and solvents. Use mild detergents and soft cloths to preserve the PVC surface.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/strong>
With minimal but regular maintenance, PVC windows can remain reliable and energy-efficient for more than 10 years.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
