Windows are a no-maintenance product. True or False?
A window is still like anything else you own; there is still a certain amount of maintenance required to keep that product in tip-top shape. Whether it be a clad window or vinyl window, on the exterior skin there is a seam between the window product and the exterior surface, [which is] typically the easiest point for caulking to break down. So there should be a maintenance schedule to continually clean up the old caulk and re-caulk the window to the structure so there won’t be any water penetration.
