Best Strategies for Caring for Your Bay and Bow Windows
How can you care for your bay and bow windows in Ottawa? Depending on the material, they should last between 20 and 50 years when you use the following tips.
Provide Regular Cleanings With Soap and Water
Clean the windows at least twice annually, or more frequently if you notice dirt and fingerprints. You can usually obtain super-clear glass with a mild soap and warm water. For more stubborn stains, consider adding some vinegar to the water.
Prevent Condensation With Ample Ventilation
Condensation can wreak havoc on your windows, making them more vulnerable to warping and mould growth. While weatherstripping and caulk should prevent most issues, their quality diminishes over time. Running ceiling fans or installing a whole-home dehumidifier enhances protection.
Keep Nearby Vegetation Trimmed
Branches can scratch the glass when trees or bushes grow too close to your windows. It also increases the likelihood that they can shatter the window in high winds. Keep the canopy at bay with annual trimming.
