Cleaning
Clean surfaces with warm, clean water. Do not use powdered cleaner. After each cleaning, apply a silicone lubricant to track locations to insure smooth operation. Clean glass as needed with vinegar and water, a commercial glass cleaner, or the product recommended by the window manufacturer.
Condensation
Condensation on interior surfaces of the window and frame is the result of high humidity within the home and low outside temperatures. Your family’s lifestyle controls the humidity level within your home. If your home includes a humidifier, closely observe the manufacturer’s directions before its use. Contact your window supplier if there is condensation between panes.
Locks
Acquaint yourself with the operation of window and patio door hardware for maximum security.
Door Tracks
Keep patio door tracks clean for smooth operation and to prevent damage to the doorframe. Use silicone lubricants for smooth operation.
Sticking Windows
If sticking occurs or excessive pressure is required to open or close a window, apply silicone lubricant to the track locations as needed.
Weep Holes
In heavy rain, or high humidity within the home, water may collect in the bottom channel of window frames. Weep holes provide access for water to escape to the outside. Keep the bottom window channels and weep holes free of dirt and debris for proper operation. Make sure to never paint or caulk the weep holes shut.
