Inspect for Leaks and Drafts

Even after installation, you should inspect your windows for any leaks or drafts. Small gaps can lead to energy loss, so seal them up with caulk when necessary to maintain efficiency.

Lubricate Moving Parts

If your windows have sliders or hinges, apply silicone-based lubricant to keep them working smoothly. This prevents unnecessary wear and tear on the mechanisms.
