How to refurbish window cladding on an old house

The cladding on windows in older homes is used to reinforce and decorate the windows.Over time, these cladding may wear out or corrode and need to be refurbished. Here are some steps to refurbish the window cladding on an old house:

1. Clean and prepare the surface: first, clean the surface with a brush and water. If there is old paint, you need to remove them. Scrape off any loose, blistered or rotted wood, then sand the surface with sandpaper.

2. Repair broken parts: If you find rotted wood or broken edges on your windows, they need to be repaired. Use wood filler or wood glue to repair cracked or dented sections.

3. Paint the window cladding: Pick the right color to paint the cladding to make the previously rotted part look like new. You may need to apply primer before applying the paint.

4. Update the detail parts on the edging: check the detail parts on the edging, if any part needs to be replaced, then you'd better find some spare parts that match the existing details to be replaced.

Summary: With the above steps, you can easily refurbish the window cladding in your old house. The appearance of the refurbished windows will look neater and brighter from the detail part. Window cladding is not only a part of the appearance of your home, but also an important part of reinforcing your windows. A successful refurbishment can extend the life of your windows.
