PVC Care

  • Clean PVC with a warm water and mild soap solution, avoiding caustic or abrasive cleaners that may damage the finish and cause deterioration and discoloration.
  • Rinse with clean water after cleaning to remove any remaining soap residue.
  • Clean channels, tracks, and drain holes on sliding windows or doors at least once a year (preferably twice) to prevent excessive wear and tear from dust and dirt accumulation.
  • Lubricate tracks with silicone-based sprays to ensure smooth sliding.

Screen Maintenance

  • Carefully remove screens by pushing towards arrow stickers on the corners to avoid breakage, as improper removal is not covered by warranty.
  • Lay the screen flat and vacuum it or soak it with a mild soapy solution, then wipe it clean with a soft cloth or brush.
  • Avoid damaging the screen mesh or aluminum frame when removing existing screens.

Glass Cleaning

  1. Clean glass with a warm water and mild soap solution or a vinegar-based solution, avoiding ammonia or alcohol-based cleaners.
  2. Use a lint-free cloth and wipe in circular motions for streak-free results.
  3. Wash glass while not in direct sunlight to prevent premature drying of the cleaning solution.
  4. Avoid using scrapers and blades on glass.

Hardware Care

The hardware comes pre-lubricated; if necessary, use petroleum jelly, automotive grease, or lithium grease for optimal performance.

Western Windows completed a two-day installation at my home in September. The Western Windows people were very professional and efficient in their work. In addition, I found them to be proactive trouble shooters and problem solvers. I was very pleased with Western Windows and highly recommend them.

We are so happy with our new windows. This is our second install with Western Windows this year (patio door last spring and windows in our master bedroom this fall).The process from the beginning to the end - top notch. Excellent service and quality of workmanship. Great team- Joe, Darin and crews. I also appreciate the time taken and care in putting the window trim back on and absolutely no mess afterward. I look forward to working with Western Windows for the rest of our window replacements.
