Maintaining Doors and Windows
- To ensure proper operation, security, weather resistance and intended use of doors and windows in your home, check the overall integrity and operation twice a year.
- Windows and doors can be affected by a number of elements including minor settlement, wear and tear, expansion and contraction and general weathering.
- Check weather stripping at all windows and entrance doors. Make sure an air tight seal is formed when closed.
- Replace any weather stripping that becomes loose or damaged.
- Check for cracks on walls around the windows and doorways as there is greater expansion and contraction in these areas.
- Repair and seal as needed.
