Five misunderstandings about door and window maintenance: How many of them have you encountered?

In daily life, doors and windows are important elements of home safety and comfort, and their maintenance and care are often neglected. Especially in the process of renewing old windows, people often fall into some misunderstandings. Today, let's talk about the five misunderstandings about door and window maintenance, and see how many of them have you encountered?

1. Misunderstanding 1: Aluminum alloy doors and windows do not require maintenance

Many people believe that aluminum alloy doors and windows have strong corrosion resistance, so they do not need maintenance. In fact, although aluminum alloy doors and windows have good corrosion resistance, they will still be affected by pollutants, ultraviolet rays and other factors in the air during long-term use, resulting in surface oxidation and discoloration. Therefore, aluminum alloy doors and windows also need to be cleaned and maintained regularly.

2. Misunderstanding 2: Door and window replacement is to replace windows

Some friends think that door and window maintenance is to replace windows, which is actually a one-sided understanding. Door and window maintenance includes inspection and maintenance of door and window frames, glass, hardware accessories and other aspects. When replacing windows, you should not only pay attention to the windows themselves, but also check whether the door and window frames are firm and whether the sealing performance is good.

3. Myth 3: Using detergent can thoroughly clean doors and windows

Many people think that as long as they wipe doors and windows with detergent, they can be thoroughly cleaned. In fact, detergents can only remove dirt on the surface of doors and windows. For the oxide layer, sealant and other parts of aluminum alloy doors and windows, detergents cannot completely remove them. The correct approach is to wipe with detergent first, then rinse with clean water, and finally wipe dry with a clean rag.

4. Myth 4: Ignore the maintenance of door and window hardware accessories

Door and window hardware accessories are an important part of doors and windows, and they are related to the service life and safety of doors and windows. However, in actual use, many friends often ignore the maintenance of hardware accessories. The correct approach is to regularly check the wear of hardware accessories, replace damaged parts in time, and add lubricating oil to the rotating parts to ensure the normal use of doors and windows.

5. Myth 5: Door and window seal strips do not need to be replaced

Door and window seal strips are key components to ensure the sealing performance of doors and windows, which are related to the insulation, heat insulation and sound insulation of the home. However, many people think that the seal strip does not need to be replaced, which is actually a misunderstanding. During use, the sealing strip will be affected by factors such as light and ultraviolet rays, which will cause aging and cracking. When the sealing strip is found to be aging, it should be replaced in time to ensure the sealing performance of the doors and windows.
