Master Step-by-Step Action Plan
1
Spring Sill & Screen Inspection
Clear drainage weep holes, wash glass, and re-install mesh screens.
2
Summer Track & Roller Care
Apply dry Teflon lubricant to sliding rails and check UV deflection.
3
Autumn Weatherstrip Audit
Perform dollar bill seal compression tests and tighten sash locks.
4
Winter Condensation Control
Lock sashes tightly and maintain indoor humidity between 30% and 40%.
## Maximizing Window Longevity with Seasonal Care
Investing 15 minutes per season in preventative window care preserves airtight seals, prevents sash binding, and keeps lifetime manufacturer warranties fully intact.
### Annual Maintenance Schedule:
- **March / April:** Wash glass with non-ammonia cleaner; inspect exterior caulking for hairline cracks.
- **June / July:** Vacuum sliding tracks; lubricate rollers with dry PTFE spray.
- **September / October:** Inspect sash weatherstripping; replace compressed pile or foam bulbs.
- **December / January:** Keep cam locks engaged to maintain maximum thermal gasket seal.
