3 rules for windows durability. How, at a cost of 100 rubles a year, double the service life of the window

The window is not fully closed, blown winter or quickly broke down fittings? If every autumn to perform 3 simple steps, you can avoid these problems and more.

timely cleaning

Windows - is, of course, not a woman, but also love kindness, cleanliness and lubrication. Terrible frame in the photo above - the result of years of operation in the micro-ventilation mode. Passing through a narrow slit, outside the dust settles on the frame, fittings seals. Dirt particles are abrasive and cause increased wear. hardware life is shortened significantly. How long have you peeking over the top of the sash?

Twice a year my windows and wipe with a damp cloth frame with fittings around the perimeter. Do not be afraid to go into hardware. If her wipe, nothing terrible will happen.

Grease fittings

Yes, I know that many people have heard about it. But if all observe this simple rule? Several times I have heard this excuse: "Yes figs knows than to smear, even ruin anything."

For lubrication of window accessories suitable engine oil. Better to take the grease with low viscosity (synthetic or semi-synthetics). In DIY stores sold in small bottles with a long spout. Price 15-100 rubles depending on the volume. lubricates:

• Fittings (moving part).
• Hinges (removing the laths).
• The opening mechanism (lifting lever).

In no case do we use sunflower oil. Open the window after such a lubrication is difficult, and accessories die much faster.

Caring for seals

When washing windows wipe not only the outer part of the rubber seals, but also internal. Dirty gum faster "dubeet", and if in frozen mud, we get loose porch. As a consequence - blowing and rapid wear of the mechanisms.

Wipe seals with silicone grease. It gives the rubber elasticity and prevents freezing of the frame and the window seals. The window can be opened in the winter and not be afraid that primerzshy seal broken.

Sale silicone grease in the same hardware store. Sometimes, complete with fittings for oil.
