15.02.2025

Windows are an important part of your home that require regular maintenance. Proper care not only preserves their appearance, but also extends their service life. IMZO, a leader in the window and door market in Uzbekistan, shares tips on how to care for plastic and aluminum windows so that they remain in perfect condition for many years.

General care recommendations

Regardless of the type of windows, there are several general rules that will help keep them in excellent condition:

Regular cleaning Dust, dirt, and moisture can negatively affect the appearance and functionality of windows. It is recommended to clean windows at least once a month.
Using the right products For cleaning, use mild detergents that will not damage the surface. Avoid abrasives and aggressive chemicals.
Checking the fittings Regularly check the handles, hinges and other fittings to make sure they are working properly.

Maintenance of plastic windows

IMZO plastic windows are durable and easy to maintain. Here are some tips to help keep them in perfect condition:

Cleaning the profile

Use a soft cloth or sponge soaked in soapy water.
Pay attention to joints and corners where dirt can accumulate.
After cleaning, wipe the profile with a dry cloth to avoid streaks.

Caring for double-glazed windows

To clean glass, use special window products or a solution of water and vinegar (1:1).
Wipe the glass with a soft cloth or microfiber cloth to avoid scratches.

Lubricating fittings

Lubricate moving parts every six months fittings (handles, hinges) with special oil or silicone grease.
This will help prevent squeaking and extend the life of the mechanisms.

Seal maintenance

Rubber seals can lose elasticity over time. Clean them with soapy water and lubricate them with silicone grease once a year.
This will help keep the windows airtight.

Maintenance of aluminum windows

IMZO aluminum windows are durable and resistant to external influences. However, they also require regular maintenance:

Cleaning the profile

Aluminum is resistant to corrosion, but it still needs to be cleaned of dust and dirt.
Use a soft cloth and neutral detergents.
Avoid products containing acids or alkalis, which can damage the surface.

Caring for double-glazed windows

Clean the glass in the same way as in plastic windows: using soft products and a cloth.
Pay attention to the joints between the glass and the profile.

Checking the fasteners

Aluminum windows are often used in complex structures (e.g. sliding systems). Check fasteners and mechanisms regularly to ensure they are secure.

Scratch Protection

Although aluminum is durable, its surface can be scratched. Avoid using hard brushes or abrasives.

Seasonal Maintenance

Summer

Check seals for wear.
Clean drainage holes to avoid water accumulation.

Winter

Make sure windows close tightly to keep the home warm.
Check fittings for freezing (especially in cold climates).
