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.

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.
Connecting the posts are the horizontal rails. These parts provide structure and maintain the integrity of the fence. Wrought iron fences typically consist of two horizontal rails—top and bottom. The top rail is often wider than the bottom, providing a finished look and added stability. Rails can also be designed with intricate patterns, seamlessly blending function with artistic expression.

It is worth mentioning that aluminium window joinery has not always been so popular. Until recently, it was regarded as cold joinery, and there was a lot of truth in that. Therefore, whilst aluminium was used in warehouses, offices and shops, it was not used in single-family homes. Nowadays, the situation is quite different – of course, aluminium does not feel as ‘warm’ as wood and, when the frame comes into contact with a warm hand, it will feel cooler than, say, pine. This is all due to the fact that aluminium does not have as much ability to absorb heat. However, we should add that in reality its temperature will often be the same as that of the aforementioned wood.
In terms of wrought iron gate construction, U-frames or gate frames are the ‘backbones’ of gates and the metal frame pieces that go down the side and across the bottom of a gate.
