What you need to know about Windows living on the Washington Coast
Living on the Washington coast means dealing with wet weather, salty air, and cool temperatures. Choosing the right windows can help keep your home warm, lower your energy bills, and protect against the elements. Let’s break down what makes a window energy-efficient, and what to look for when shopping.
Windows That Stand Up to Coastal Weather
Living by the coast means enjoying stunning views and staying close to nature. But it also means dealing with salt air, strong winds, and constant moisture. In places like the Pacific Northwest, choosing windows that can withstand these elements isn’t just a design decision, it’s a structural imperative.
Caring for Your Westeck Windows & Patio Doors
To clean the glass, use a soft cloth or sponge with warm water and a mild soap. Dish soap is a cost-effective choice for outdoor window cleaning because it’s gentle on glass and can effectively cut through dirt and grime. Avoid any harsh chemicals or abrasive pads, they can scratch the surface or damage coatings.
For best results, clean on a cloudy day to prevent streaks from sunlight drying the cleaner too fast. Wipe in a circular motion, then finish with a dry microfiber cloth for a clear, polished look.
