What is the service life of window seals ?

The lifespan of window seals can vary and depends on many factors, such as the quality of the material, climatic conditions, how the window is used and regularity of maintenance. Generally speaking, good quality seals can last from several to several years.

In the case of silicone gaskets, the service life can range from 5 to 20 years, depending on the quality of the material and operating conditions. However, they can undergo aging, loss of elasticity and damage from exposure to UV radiation, temperature changes and contact with chemicals.

Rubber gaskets typically have a shorter lifespan compared to silicone gaskets and may require more frequent maintenance or replacement, especially if exposed to extreme weather or aging.

It is important to regularly check the condition of window seals and maintain them to ensure that they are in good condition and effectively insulate the window. If you notice damage or signs of aging, it is recommended that they be repaired or replaced immediately to avoid problems of water leakage, energy loss or deterioration of sound insulation.
