Westeck windows and patio doors are built to last, but a little care goes a long way in keeping them beautiful and working smoothly.
Glass Care
To clean the glass, use a soft cloth or sponge with warm water and a mild soap. Dish soap is a cost-effective choice for outdoor window cleaning because it’s gentle on glass and can effectively cut through dirt and grime. Avoid any harsh chemicals or abrasive pads, they can scratch the surface or damage coatings.
For best results, clean on a cloudy day to prevent streaks from sunlight drying the cleaner too fast. Wipe in a circular motion, then finish with a dry microfiber cloth for a clear, polished look.
Frame Maintenance
Westeck frames are made from high-quality materials like vinyl, aluminum, wood, and composites. Each type needs slightly different care:
- PVC & Aluminum: Wash with warm soapy water (using a mild dish soap) and rinse well. These materials resist fading and corrosion, but regular cleaning helps maintain their finish.
- Do not use scrapers or razor blades to remove stubborn deposits or labels.
- Do not use abrasive cleaning solutions.
- Do not allow splashed materials such as paint, stucco, mortar, or drywall putty/Gyproc dust to dry or remain on the window frame, seals, or glass surface.
Tracks & Hardware
Vacuum or brush out dirt from sliding door tracks. Lubricate moving parts with silicone-based spray—never use oil-based products, which attract dust. Check locks and handles for tightness and smooth operation.
Seasonal Tips
In fall and spring, inspect weatherstripping and caulking. Replace any worn seals to keep drafts out and energy bills down. During winter, gently remove ice buildup—never force windows open if frozen shut.
