Does your window not close properly? You have problems with tangled handles or hinges. When wood attracts moisture, it swells, which over time can lead to problems closing the window. In Sweden, this is a common problem, as humidity levels are constantly changing over the seasons. It is therefore important to maintain the windows so that they do not attract moisture which then spreads to the rest of the building.

Maintaining the condition and function of windows is important for both ventilation and the indoor environment. In a housing association where mandatory ventilation inspections are required, this is particularly important. But homeowners also benefit greatly from this to keep energy costs down and ensure a comfortable indoor environment. Windows have several weak points, especially where the wood is in contact with metal, which can lead to corrosion. Gaps, flakes and cracks in the wood can lead to rot, which eventually destroys the window. Window renovation keeps your house warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer, leading to lower energy costs, increased house value and extended window life. Even if your windows are in poor condition, they can often be saved by repair or renovation, so don’t hesitate to contact us at Dina Hantverkare in GBG to save money on your windows!
