Window frame repair requires understanding different materials and their specific maintenance needs. Gibraltar’s coastal environment presents unique challenges that affect wood, aluminum, and UPVC frames differently, requiring targeted repair approaches.
Wooden frames suffer from moisture damage, rot, and warping in Gibraltar’s humid climate. Small repairs might involve wood filler and repainting, but structural damage requires professional assessment to ensure safety and effectiveness.
Aluminum frames commonly develop corrosion from salt air exposure. Minor scratches can be addressed with specialized compounds, but extensive corrosion often necessitates professional treatment or replacement sections.
UPVC frames generally require minimal maintenance but can suffer from seal failures and mechanical problems. These issues typically need professional attention due to specialized tools and replacement parts required.
Before attempting repairs, assess damage extent carefully. Structural issues, extensive rot, or complex mechanical problems exceed typical DIY capabilities and require professional expertise.
Safety considerations include proper tool usage, lead paint precautions in older homes, and working at height safely. Professional repairs often prove more cost-effective than failed DIY attempts.
