The frequency of exterior window inspections and replacements depends on various factors such as the building type, location, age of the windows, and maintenance practices. Generally, exterior windows are inspected at least once a year to identify any issues or damages. However, certain high-rise buildings or commercial properties may have more frequent inspections due to stricter safety regulations or higher maintenance requirements.
Replacement of windows is determined based on factors like the window material, overall condition, energy efficiency, and aesthetic appeal. In residential settings, window replacements may occur every 15-30 years, depending on the quality and maintenance. Commercial buildings with larger windows or extensive use may require replacements every 10-20 years.
It's important to note that these timeframes can vary significantly and should be assessed on a case-by-case basis. Regular maintenance, including cleaning and repairing small damages, can extend the lifespan of windows and reduce the need for frequent replacements.
