  • Warranties and service for windows

    Las garantías de ventanas en España constan de tres componentes: el marco, el cristal, los herrajes y la instalación. Sin embargo, el 60% de las reclamaciones se rechazan por uso indebido o falta de mantenimiento. La garantía no cubre arañazos, daños mecánicos, desgaste de las juntas ni condensación en la superficie exterior del cristal. Analizaremos qué cubre realmente la garantía, cómo mantener las ventanas correctamente y qué hacer si la empresa instaladora se niega a cumplir con sus obligaciones de garantía.
