What factors can damage PVC windows

Why have PVC windows been proving their advantage over wooden structures for many years? There are many reasons for this. Let's remember the main ones:

- Plastic windows are very durable structures that can serve you for decades without loss of performance.
- Modern PVC windows are safe and eco-friendly
- They don't rot or rust
- PVC windows are sealed and this is the reason for their most remarkable properties: thermal insulation, sound insulation, protection from the penetration of dust from the outside.

The question is: are such remarkable constructions afraid of something? Are there any factors that can harm them and lead to loss of performance?

There is an opinion that sunlight can damage PVC windows and intense ultraviolet radiation leads to yellowing of plastic. Such a problem can really arise but only if you decide to save on buying plastic windows and contact an unscrupulous manufacturer who saves on the quality of plastic. Modern high-quality PVC is a ultraviolet-resistant material and reliable companies do not save on it.

Windows can be damaged by improper care. In general, this is an absolutely easy-cared system. To care for it, you will need a soap solution and a soft sponge. Harder and more abrasive agents or solvents can damage the protective coating on the surface of the plastic. Therefore, simplicity is the key to success in the care of plastic windows.

Careless handling of new windows can also damage them. Scratches on the plastic surface will spoil the appearance of the structure. Careful handling is also required for accessories, since in case of failure only a specialist can replace it.

It is very important to entrust the installation of windows to a reliable company with competent staff, as improper installation can negate all the wonderful qualities of plastic windows. It is very difficult to correct such flaws in the future.

As a conclusion, we will say that if you order windows from a reliable company and follow the simple rules of their operation, they will serve you for a very long time.
