Upvc Doors & Windows Sticking In The Hot Weather
Windows and doors sticking in warm weather (Advice From Safestyle Windows)
As with the majority of materials, uPVC expands and contracts slightly in more intense weather conditions. You may find that in extreme warm and cold weather your windows and doors are becoming stiff and not opening and closing properly. uPVC is known to expand in the heat; at 40°C it is possible for uPVC frames to expand by up to 2.4cm. This is a perfectly natural element of the material and absolutely nothing to be concerned about but it can cause temporary problems and difficulty with opening your windows and doors.
When the temperature cools you should find that your windows and doors return back to normal and no permanent damage will be caused. Unfortunately there is not much that can be done except to wait for the uPVC to cool. However if the swelling does become too extreme you can always try to spray it with cold water or use a cold, damp cloth to pat it down (avoiding the glass). This should help to cool the plastic and allow it to return back to a normal temperature quicker. We advise that you never attempt to heat up the uPVC if it is very cold as in extreme cases this may cause it to crack.
If this doesnt work and you still have problems with your upvc door locks then give Derek or Pam of Locksmiths Helsby a call on 07855 867422 we are here for our customers.
