Old wooden windows add character and charm to any home but require proper care to maintain their beauty and functionality. Argo Window Repair provides expert tips for preserving your wooden windows.

Regular Cleaning

• Gentle Cleaning: Use a soft brush and mild detergent to clean the frames without damaging the wood.
• Glass Care: Wipe the glass with a mixture of vinegar and water for a streak-free finish.

Inspection and Maintenance

• Check for Damage: Regularly inspect for signs of rot, damage, or wear. Pay special attention to areas where water or moisture might accumulate.
• Sealant and Paint: Ensure that any cracked or peeling paint is addressed promptly to protect the wood from the elements. Use a high-quality exterior paint or sealant suitable for wood.

Weatherproofing

• Weather Stripping: Install or replace weather stripping around the windows to prevent drafts and improve energy efficiency.
• Caulking: Apply caulk around the window frames to seal any gaps, further preventing air and water infiltration.

Repairing Damage

• Minor Repairs: Small areas of rot can be treated with wood filler or epoxy. Sand the area smooth before repainting or sealing.
• Professional Help: For more significant damage or if the window is not functioning correctly, consult with professionals like Argo Window Repair for restoration or repair.

Enhancing Longevity

• Regular Lubrication: Hinges and locks should be lubricated annually to ensure smooth operation.
• Professional Inspection: Consider having your windows inspected by professionals every few years to assess their condition and address any issues proactively.
