Lubricate the window’s moving parts routinely: The hinges and locks of old windows might experience unnecessary wear and tear over time, making them difficult to use and stiffer. Apply a lubricant that contains silicone to the moving elements to avoid this from happening. Simply add a very tiny amount of lubricant to the hinges and locks, and then open and close the door a few times to work the oil into the hinges and locks.
Glazing: The glass panes that are fitted within the sash and frame. Double-glazed or triple-glazed windows have two or three layers of glazing, respectively, separated by a vacuum or filled with inert gas to improve thermal insulation.
