Door and window maintenance

Cleaning and maintaining windows can become a real chore when the opening and closing mechanism is complex. At Vaillancourt Doors and Windows, our windows are designed to make life easy for you; regardless of the window type, manoeuvring panels is a breeze! By maintaining your windows on a regular basis, you’ll prolong their life and ensure they remain sparkling and beautiful for many years to come.

Replacing your windows is a major investment in your home. To get the most out of this investment over time, it’s important to keep up when it comes to window maintenance: experts recommend performing maintenance on your windows at least twice a year. Proper maintenance not only ensures that you continue enjoying your beautiful view, it keeps your windows operating properly and extends their useful life.

Under normal conditions, the lifespan of your doors and windows—depending on the materials used—can be upwards of 20 years or even longer. Realistically, the average consumer will therefore purchase new doors and windows once or twice during their lifetime. This makes it important to choose a manufacturer that offers quality products that are durable and energy efficient and come with an appropriate warranty reflecting their long lifespan. Keeping them clean and performing basic maintenance also helps to extend their useful life. Here are four valuable tips covering the tasks we recommend incorporating into your annual routine.
