Special cleaning products are usually sold in those companies that directly install metal-plastic windows in St. Petersburg, or sell them. This product or soap solution is applied to the surface of the frame with a soft cloth and then rinsed off with water. When cleaning the window frame, avoid knocking or scratching it. Double-glazed windows are best cleaned with clean water mixed with a common window cleaner..

Thanks to such measures, the seals will be elastic and have water-repellent properties for a very long time..
