This could include living near the ocean, near the water treatment facility or in an area with high pollution levels. This maintenance should be done every two years to keep your uPVC mechanical components in good working order.<br><br>It is crucial to grease the moving parts of your windows in addition to cleaning the uPVC. This will help prevent corrosion and extend the lifespan of your uPVC. You should also place some oil on the hinges which will keep them running smoothly.<br><br>It is also recommended to reseal your uPVC frames and sills after cleaning them. This will ensure the seal is intact, and protect against cold air leaks. If you notice any cracks in the seal, you can apply some silicone to restore it to its original form. This will also stop moisture from leaking in and damaging the uPVC over time.<br></p></section> <footer class="post-footer godo-canvas pt-10"> <aside class="post-shasre text-title flex items-center flex-none md:justify-end "> <span class="share-label text-gray-500 text-sm mr-2">Share:</span> <a href="https://twitter.com/share?text=11%20Strategies%20To%20Refresh%20Your%20UPVC%20Repairs&url=https://degn-brandstrup.thoughtlanes.net/11-strategies-to-refresh-your-upvc-repairs-1714041895/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="godo-tracking" title="Share on Twitter" aria-label="Share on Twitter" data-event-category="Article" data-event-action="Share" data-event-label="Footer - Twitter" data-event-non-interaction="true"> <svg width="30" height="30" class="fill-current"><path fill-rule="evenodd" clip-rule="evenodd" d="M15 27a12 12 0 1 0 0-24 12 12 0 0 0 0 24zm4.95-16.17a2.67 2.67 0 0 0-4.6 1.84c0 .2.03.41.05.62a7.6 7.6 0 0 1-5.49-2.82 3 3 0 0 0-.38 1.34c.02.94.49 1.76 1.2 2.23a2.53 2.53 0 0 1-1.2-.33v.04c0 1.28.92 2.36 2.14 2.62-.23.05-.46.08-.71.1l-.21-.02-.27-.03a2.68 2.68 0 0 0 2.48 1.86A5.64 5.64 0 0 1 9 19.38a7.62 7.62 0 0 0 4.1 1.19c4.9 0 7.58-4.07 7.57-7.58v-.39c.52-.36.97-.83 1.33-1.38-.48.23-1 .37-1.53.43.56-.33.96-.86 1.15-1.48-.5.31-1.07.53-1.67.66z"/></svg> </a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://degn-brandstrup.thoughtlanes.net/11-strategies-to-refresh-your-upvc-repairs-1714041895/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="godo-tracking" title="Share on Facebook" aria-label="Share on Facebook" data-event-category="Article" data-event-action="Share" data-event-label="Footer - Facebook" data-event-non-interaction="true"> <svg width="30" height="30" viewBox="0 0 30 30" class="fill-current"><path fill-rule="evenodd" clip-rule="evenodd" d="M15 27a12 12 0 1 0 0-24 12 12 0 0 0 0 24zm-1.23-6.03V15.6H12v-2.15h1.77v-1.6C13.77 10 14.85 9 16.42 9c.75 0 1.4.06 1.58.08v1.93h-1.09c-.85 0-1.02.43-1.02 1.05v1.38h2.04l-.27 2.15H15.9V21l-2.13-.03z"/></svg> </a> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://degn-brandstrup.thoughtlanes.net/11-strategies-to-refresh-your-upvc-repairs-1714041895/&title=11%20Strategies%20To%20Refresh%20Your%20UPVC%20Repairs" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="godo-trackin" title="Share on Linkedin" aria-label="Share on Linkedin" data-event-category="Article" data-event-action="Linkedin" data-event-label="Footer - Linkedin" data-event-non-interaction="true"> <svg width="30" height="30" class="fill-current"><path fill-rule="evenodd" clip-rule="evenodd" d="M27 15a12 12 0 1 1-24 0 12 12 0 0 1 24 0zm-14.61 5v-7.42h-2.26V20h2.26zm-1.13-8.44c.79 0 1.28-.57 1.28-1.28-.02-.73-.5-1.28-1.26-1.28-.78 0-1.28.55-1.28 1.28 0 .71.49 1.28 1.25 1.28h.01zM15.88 20h-2.5s.04-6.5 0-7.17h2.5v1.02l-.02.02h.02v-.02a2.5 2.5 0 0 1 2.25-1.18c1.64 0 2.87 1.02 2.87 3.22V20h-2.5v-3.83c0-.97-.36-1.62-1.26-1.62-.69 0-1.1.44-1.28.87-.06.15-.08.36-.08.58v4z"/></svg> </a> <a href="whatsapp://send?text=https://degn-brandstrup.thoughtlanes.net/11-strategies-to-refresh-your-upvc-repairs-1714041895/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="godo-tracking button is-black rounded-full text-xs w-6 h-6 md:hidden" aria-label="Share on WhatSapp" data-event-category="Article" data-event-action="Share" data-event-label="Footer - Whatsapp" data-event-non-interaction="true"> <svg class="icon"><use xlink:href="#icon-whatsapp"></use></svg> </a></aside> </footer></article> </main> <footer class="footer-light py-10 lg:pt-16 text-center lg:text-left bg-gray-150"> <div class="mx-auto max-w-extreme px-4"> <div class="flex flex-col lg:flex-row justify-between"> <div class="footer-copy text-sm order-3 mt-8 flex-none lg:text-left lg:order-none lg:mt-0"> © 2025 Thought Lanes.
