Window Cleaning
Do's and Don'ts
There's a right and wrong way to do everything, even when cleaning windows. Here are a few not-so-obvious tips that could help make your window cleaning safer, more efficient and even easier.
Window Maintenance
Winter Screen Protection
Proper maintenance of your windows is essential for ensuring their optimal performance and longevity. One crucial aspect of this maintenance routine is the seasonal removal of window screens, offering a chance to inspect and address potential issues in the Fall and Spring.
Glass Performance
Low-E Coatings
Low-emissivity (low-E or LoE) glass, commonly known as LoE glass, is engineered to reflect radiant heat, significantly improving the thermal efficiency of windows. Emissivity measures how much heat a glass surface transfers through it.

Without the daily commute, we’re noticing the wear and tear: outdated kitchens and bathrooms, worn-out floors, cloudy windows, uninspiring home offices, and a lack of cosy spaces to unwind.
