🏠✨ Window Maintenance & Safety Tips for NZ Homeowners ✨🏠

Keep your windows in top shape and ensure your home is safe with these essential tips:

1️⃣ Regular Cleaning: Clean windows inside and out twice a year. Don’t forget tracks and frames to ensure smooth operation.

2️⃣ Check Weatherstripping: Replace if you find cracks or gaps to keep your home draft-free and energy-efficient.

3️⃣ Inspect Caulking: Seal out water and air by fixing any caulk cracks around the frame.

4️⃣ Lubricate Moving Parts: Use silicone spray on hinges and tracks for easy window operation.

5️⃣ Address Condensation: Broken seals might need a pro fix if you spot excess condensation.

Safety First:

🔒 Install Window Guards: A must-have in homes with little ones, on upper floors to prevent falls.

🔐 Use Opening Restrictors: Limit how wide windows can open, enhancing child safety.

🚫 Smart Furniture Placement: Keep climbable items away from windows to protect curious kids.

🛠️ Maintain Window Screens: Fix or replace damaged screens to keep them secure.

🚪 Plan Emergency Escapes: Ensure everyone knows how to use windows in an emergency.

When to Replace Windows:

Vinyl: 20-40 years
Wood: 15-30 years
Aluminium: 20-30 years
Consider replacement for drafts, difficulty operating, fogging, or decay. 🏡

Could windows cause a home to fail an inspection? Yes! Look out for major cracks, drafts, decay, or faulty hardware. 🕵️‍♂️
