• Make sure there isn’t any condensation, as this may be a sign for problems. The earlier you can detect it, the more time you have to fix the issue before it’s too late.
• Waterproof your windows, if you have wood frame windows still, especially if you live in an area where theres rain or snow. The more extreme weather and elements your windows are exposed too, the bigger chances of them being damaged from wear and tear.
