In Malaysia, doors and windows are exposed to high temperatures, humidity, rain, and dust for a long time. Without proper maintenance, even the best doors and windows will age prematurely. In fact, as long as you master the correct maintenance methods for doors and windows, you can significantly extend their service life and reduce maintenance costs.
1、 Why do Malaysian doors and windows require regular maintenance?
Compared to countries with distinct seasons, Malaysia’s doors and windows are more likely to encounter:
