Window Care

Following these recommendations will assist in keeping your Eco Sash Windows looking fresh and maintaining their working efficiency for years to come.

Cleaning frames and sashes - Never use anything abrasive on uPVC or Wood as this will scratch the surface and trap dirt. Wash frames with a mild solution of washing up liquid and water. With stubborn marks, lightly rub with a non-abrasive creamcleaner.

Glass - Any proprietary glass cleaner is suitable.

Locks and Hinges - Spray silicon based lubricants into all locks and onto any metal to metal surfaces around your doors and windows twice a year, wiping away any excess. Using WD40 attracts dirt and sticks so avoid using it.

Doors and windows - To ensure a draught free unit, keep the door in a locked position when closed. This will achieve a tight seal on the gaskets. Most of our locking systems are adjustable.

Friction Stays - Treat the same as Locks and Hinges. There is a pressure plate that is adjustable by a slot head screw to allowyou to adjust the friction of your sash operation. NEVER over-tighten this as it will affect the smooth operation of the sash.

Drainage - After heavy rainfall you may find water lying in the bottom of your window or door frame. This is no cause for concern as it will drain away through the holes in the base. Check twice a year that these holes have not become blocked. If found to be so, clean out and check they are clear by pouring a small amount of water through them.

Lead work - As new lead work is exposed to rain an oxidation process will develop a white or mottled staining on the lead. As this process is completed (usually within a fewmonths), the lead shall become dark grey in colour and no longer stain. To clean away the ´bloom´, wipe with a damp cloth.
