Repair and maintenance

  • Extending the lifespan of windows

    High-quality windows last 40-50 years, but if improperly maintained, they fail after 10-15 years. Replacing windows in a 100 m² home costs €5,000-8,000—this money can be saved by extending the life of existing windows. Regular maintenance at €30 per year adds 15-20 years of service. Proper use, timely replacement of consumables, and protection from aggressive elements transform windows from an expense into a long-term investment. We'll explore how to maximize the lifespan of windows and when replacement is inevitable.

    • Troubleshooting minor window problems

      Whether your window won't close, the handle is stuck, there's drafts coming through the cracks, or there's condensation on the glass, 80% of window problems can be solved on your own in 15-30 minutes without calling a professional. Adjusting the sash with an Allen key, replacing the handle, or tightening the hinges—simple steps can save you €60-150 per service call. We'll explain how to diagnose the problem and quickly fix it yourself, and when professional help is truly needed.

      • Cleaning and lubricating window mechanisms

        Window hardware consists of dozens of moving metal parts that operate every day. Without lubrication, mechanisms wear out 3-4 times faster, handles jam, sashes sag, and creaking and rattling occurs. On the Spanish coast, salty air accelerates corrosion, while in central regions, dust clogs the mechanisms. Proper cleaning and lubrication twice a year takes 15 minutes per window and costs €10 for all the windows in the house. However, it extends the lifespan of the hardware from 10 to 25 years and saves €200-400 per window.

        • Seasonal window maintenance

          Windows in Spain operate in extreme conditions—from 45°C in summer to salty fog in winter on the coast. Without regular maintenance, hardware jams after 3-4 years instead of 15, seals crack, and drafts and condensation occur. Proper seasonal maintenance takes 30 minutes twice a year but extends the lifespan of windows by 10-15 years and saves thousands of euros on repairs. We'll explore what to do in spring and fall to keep your windows looking like new.
