What is the typical lifespan of a window?
The lifespan of a window can vary based on its material and quality. On average, windows last between 15 and 30 years. Wooden windows may require replacement sooner due to issues like rot or warping, while vinyl or fiberglass windows can last significantly longer when properly maintained.
What Maintenance Is Required for Windows?
Maintaining your windows helps ensure they function properly and last longer. Here’s a breakdown of the key maintenance tasks for windows:
- Clean the Glass: Use a glass cleaner or water-vinegar mixture for both interior and exterior.
- Inspect the Seals: Check for cracks or damage; replace if needed.
- Check for Drafts: Look for drafts around the window frame and reapply weatherstripping or caulking as necessary.
- Lubricate Moving Parts: Apply silicone-based lubricant to tracks and hinges for smooth operation.
- Clean the Tracks and Frames: Remove dirt and debris from tracks and wipe down frames.
- Inspect for Rot and Damage: Check wooden windows for rot and metal windows for rust or corrosion.
- Check Window Locks and Hardware: Ensure locks are functioning and tighten any loose hardware.
- Maintain Window Screens: Repair or replace torn screens and clean them regularly.
- Test for Water Leaks: After rain, check for leaks around the window and address any issues.
By performing these regular maintenance tasks, you can extend the lifespan of your windows and ensure they function efficiently.

How do I clean my Retractable Screen Door Mesh?
Welcome to our guide on how to keep your retractable screen door mesh looking fresh and clean! To start, grab your vacuum cleaner with a soft upholstery brush attachment and gently clean both sides of the screen mesh. Be cautious not to snag or damage the mesh during this process. Once the vacuuming is done, take a retractable screen mesh wet wipe (available for purchase) and carefully wipe down both sides of the mesh to eliminate any remaining dust.
Remember, using any other cloth may leave lint behind. After cleaning, ensure that the mesh is completely dry before retracting it back into the housing. For the best results, we recommend cleaning your screen door on a sunny morning to let it dry thoroughly.
