Window and door maintenance: how to keep your property in good shape 

Windows and doors are among the most heavily used components of a property. Regular care and maintenance are essential to maintain their functionality and energy efficiency in the long term. Owners who do not put off minor maintenance work save high repair costs in the long term and preserve the value of their property.

Why regular care is important
Windows and doors are exposed to different stresses on a daily basis - weather influences, temperature fluctuations and mechanical stresses affect materials such as wood, plastic and aluminum. Without regular maintenance, warped frames, leaking seals or damaged fittings can occur, which not only reduces comfort and security, but also drives up heating costs.

What maintenance work is required
The following measures should be carried out at least once a year:

Check and maintain seals: Brittle or damaged seals should be replaced. A silicone-based care product extends the service life.
Oil fittings: Window and door fittings should move smoothly. A drop of oil on hinges and locking points prevents wear.
Clean the frame: Dirt and dust impair functionality. Regular cleaning also protects against material ageing.

When professional maintenance makes sense
In the case of older windows or visible damage, a specialist company should be consulted. Professionals can detect leaks, material fatigue or safety defects at an early stage and prevent major repairs.

Conclusion
Regular maintenance of windows and doors contributes significantly to maintaining the value of a property. Comfort, energy efficiency and security can be guaranteed in the long term at a manageable cost.
