If you need to replace the windows in your home or are having a new home built, you don't need to settle for standard double-hung windows in every room. Double-hung refers to windows with two sections, the bottom of which slides up and down to open and close. While these are very functional, they're not your only option. Consider how an update to your home's window styles can make every space look more attractive, add to your comfort in the space and make the home uniquely your own.
Roller windows are designed with movable panels that allow sliding to smoothly open and close your window. The rollers and tracks that allow the movement on the window frame are vulnerable to moisture, dust, debris, and dirt. These elements may accumulate over time adversely affecting its normal operation. Continuous movement of the system may also meet mechanical damages due to its nature of operation. At this stage, the movement is compromised and immediate attention must be given to fix the service track and the rollers.
Dirty tracks can make it hard to pull your sliding doors open and closed, and over time excess dirt can even throw off the alignment of the door. Luckily, cleaning the tracks is pretty easy. Here are some ideas to help you.
Vacuum Loose Dirt
To start with, don't use any cleaners or moisture. Instead, just run the attachment of your vacuum over the door tracks. To optimise the amount of dirt you pick up, use the narrowest attachment for your vacuum and try to get that inside the tracks.
