Twice-yearly care keeps awning windows smooth, ventilated, secure, and long-lasting—even in light rain. Contact a specialist for persistent issues or adjustments.
Use mild detergent/water or glass cleaner + soft cloth. Open outward for easy access to both sides. 1–2 times yearly (more if dusty/coastal).
Brush or vacuum debris from hinges, crank arms, operator mechanism, and bottom channels.
Apply silicone-based lubricant to hinges, crank, operator arms, and pivot points every 6–12 months (or when stiff). Wipe excess.
Inspect weatherstripping/gaskets for cracks or wear; clean gently, replace if damaged to prevent drafts/leaks.
Ensure smooth outward opening/closing and secure locking. Avoid forcing if stiff—call a pro for adjustment.
Keep bottom sill drainage slots/holes free to prevent water pooling.
Remove detachable screens; rinse with water, brush gently, dry, and reinstall.
