Louvered windows or Jalousie windows are excellent for allowing fresh air into rooms while protecting the interiors from sun or rain, but over time they need maintenance and repair. Particularly if their crack handles and mechanisms have rusted or broken. Holoholo Screens' services include jalousie window maintenance and repair for homes and establishments across Oahu.
Oahu Jalousie Window and Louvered Window Repairs
Louvered windows were prevalent in the 1940s but in later years fell out of fashion, this means that many jalousies tend to be old and have experienced wear and tear. They will require tweaking and fixing regularly to keep them operational.
Jalousie maintenance usually involves the following steps:
Checking the Crack Handle
If this component is broken it will need replacement as the handle itself cannot be repaired. These are relatively inexpensive and replacements are easy to find.
Checking the Arm Mechanism
If the window can't open or close smoothly then the arm mechanism metal is probably bent. This can be repaired by unscrewing the screw, removing the bent metal from its place and screwing a new one in.
Checking the Rivet Head
After years of use, rivet heads will succumb to wear and tear. They will have to be drilled out and replaced.
Fixing Window Stops
If the window looks like it is coming out of place then the window stops need fixing. This involves pushing the windows from the outside while it is cranked from the inside. Then the screen should be detached while the window is raised until the stop is visible, which should be returned to its place.
Fixing Rusted Metal Components
If the metal parts of the window have become rusty, sticky and dirty, then oil or lubricant must be applied to them. Spraying lubricant on the dirty spot will make the windows easy to open and close again.
