uPVC sash window maintenance guide

Your new uPVC sash windows are helping to make your home more thermally efficient and secure whilst giving your home a touch of elegance. If you want to continue enjoying these benefits, follow these easy steps for sash window maintenance.

Gentle cleaning

Never use anything too harsh or abrasive on uPVC sashes. This could damage the frames and cause them to trap dirt. Soapy water, such as washing up liquid, should be fine, but if there are some stubborn marks, use something a little more substantial (like Cif cleaning product).

Glass cleaning

To keep your windows looking fresh, clean with any glass cleaner now and then, helping to avoid smears and smudges. This will also help to keep your living spaces seem more spacious by maintaining their natural influx of light without a handprint or bit of dirt getting in the way.

Keep an eye on sliding mechanisms

Try to keep dirt away from the sections of the sliding track – if these build up, they may affect the ease with which the windows can be opened.

Lubricate any moving parts

To keep your locking mechanisms, flush sash handles or other moving parts working efficiently, ensure they are kept lubricated (twice a year will keep them working well). Avoid excessive oil on any parts, especially with cylinder locks, as they are already heavily greased.

Keep condensation at bay

Although our high quality windows significantly reduce the likelihood, any window is susceptible to condensation. To avoid it, try to open your windows briefly as much as possible.
