Window sills, often overlooked, play a key role in the comfort and durability of your home. In addition to providing light and fresh air, they protect your interior from the elements and moisture. At Entretien Pro-Actif, we recommend regular cleaning of window sills to prevent waterproofing problems, limit the accumulation of dirt, and maintain the energy efficiency of your windows.

​

Why clean window sills?

• Prevent water infiltration: dust, leaves, and debris clog gutters and prevent rainwater from draining, promoting leaks and mold.

• Protect joints and materials: dirt contains abrasive particles (sand, dust) that prematurely wear down PVC, wood, or aluminum.

• Optimize thermal insulation: a clean frame ensures better contact with the seal, reducing thermal bridges and energy loss.

• Improve the appearance of your facade: clean windows enhance the appearance of your home and add to its charm.

Consequences of neglect

• Leaks and infiltration: accumulation of standing water leading to mold, deterioration of interior walls, and health risks.

• Premature wear and tear on window frames: abrasive dirt and moisture increase corrosion and deformation of frames.

• Loss of energy efficiency: poorly positioned or dirty seals let cold air in during winter and heat out during summer, increasing your heating and air conditioning bills.

• Deteriorated appearance: tarnished frames and yellowish streaks detract from the appearance of your facade and can reduce the value of your property.

Regular cleaning of window frames is a small step that protects your home, improves your comfort, and reduces your energy costs.
