Regular cleaning with a damp cloth and some window cleaning products will help to keep them looking brand-new whilst ensuring any corrosion or uncleanliness is kept to a minimum.
Check the Seals
Over time Seals can break down due to a number of factors. From Weather to changes in temperature to general wear and tear your seal can go through a lot and therefore checking them often is very important as a broken or worn-down seal can lead to moisture damage, drafts and a loss of energy which can cause your bills to increase. If you notice that your seals have started to deteriorate it is vital that you reseal them as soon as possible in order to mitigate any problems that could arise.
