Maintenance Guide

Keeping your Legacy windows looking and working their best is easy with a little regular care. A few simple steps like these will help your Legacy windows stay beautiful and functional for years to come.

uPVC Profiles

Keep your uPVC frames clean by wiping them down with warm soapy water and a soft cloth. How often you clean them depends on where you live but aim for at least once every six months. Avoid abrasive cleaners or rough materials, as these can damage the surface.

Woodgrain Finish

Woodgrain finishes should be cleaned gently using warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Clean regularly, especially if your windows are exposed to windy conditions, sunlight or pollution, and avoid harsh chemicals to help maintain the colour and texture.

Glass Units

Clean glass as needed using warm soapy water or a standard glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Regular cleaning keeps your view clear and helps you spot any issues early.

Ancillaries

Handles and locks should be wiped down monthly with warm soapy water. Avoid strong or specialist cleaners, as these can affect the finish over time.

Operating Mechanisms

Open and close your windows every few months to keep them moving freely. Lubricate moving parts around twice a year and keep channels clear of dust, dirt and debris.

Avoid Condensation

To reduce condensation, keep air moving around your home. Use the trickle vents (if applicable), open windows regularly, and run extractor fans in kitchens and bathrooms. Try to keep indoor temperatures steady and avoid drying clothes indoors where possible.

The Easy Clean Facility

Cleaning your Legacy Sash Windows couldn’t be easier. Watch this short video to see how the easy clean tilt facility lets you tilt your windows inwards for quick and simple cleaning of both sides.

1. Unlock & release

Fully open the sash and locate the tilt latches at the top of the window. Release both latches at the same time.

2. Tilt the sash inward

Gently pull the top of the sash towards you. The window will safely tilt inwards, giving you easy access to the outside glass.

3. Clean & return to position

Clean the glass using warm soapy water and a soft cloth. Once finished, push the sash back into place and securely re-engage the latches.
