In Malaysia, many townhouses and apartments enter the renovation phase after years of use, and upgrading doors and windows is often one of the most overlooked but impactful projects. Due to long-term high temperatures, frequent rainfall, and high humidity in the local area, old doors and windows are more prone to aging problems. Timely replacement of suitable doors and windows can significantly improve the living experience.
1、 What situations indicate that doors and windows should be replaced?
If your residence experiences the following situations, it is likely that you need to consider replacing doors and windows:
During the rainy season, there may be water seepage or mold around doors and windows
The door and window switches are not smooth, and the hardware is loose
The indoor environment is noticeably stuffy and the insulation effect is poor
External noise is loud and affects daily life
These issues are very common in old houses in Malaysia, especially in the early residential areas of KL and Johor.
2、 Why is it more suitable to choose aluminum alloy doors and windows for renovating old houses?
Compared to traditional wooden or iron doors, Malaysian aluminum alloy doors and windows have more advantages in renovation projects:
Not afraid of humid environments, not easy to rust
Stable structure, suitable for irregular openings in old houses
Customizable size to reduce demolition and renovation projects
Modern appearance enhances the overall value of the house
Therefore, aluminum alloy doors and windows have become the mainstream choice for renovating old houses in the local area.
3、 Key details to pay attention to when renovating doors and windows
When upgrading doors and windows, it is recommended to focus on the following points:
Whether to conduct on-site measurements instead of producing according to the original size
Is there a waterproof and drainage design for the local rainy season
Do you want to replace all aging hardware and sealing strips
Is it installed by an experienced local team
Professional Malaysian door and window manufacturers will provide a reasonable upgrade plan based on the structure of the old house, rather than simply replacing it.
4、 The advantages of local customization and local installation
Choosing a door and window company that provides local services can make communication, installation, and after-sales more efficient.
In Malaysia, many door and window problems are not caused by product quality, but by inadequate installation details, so local experience is particularly important.
