When to remove the protective tape?
The special tape that pvc windows are secured with should be removed immediately after the installation of the joinery, or after the completion of masonry work. It is enough then to tick off the tip of the tape and pull with a little force, and the tape will easily peel off from the window frame. The protective tape that will stay longer on the mounted windows is exposed to weather conditions. In particular, the sun’s rays and we may have trouble peeling it off.
How do I remove an old security tape?
What if we didn’t peel off the tape in a timely manner, and now we’re in trouble? Certainly, do not use preparations with corrosive means (bleaches) and scrubbing preparations. Do not use any wires, scratchers or strong dissolving media to remove old tapes. This causes scratches, scratches, and damage to the framework. As well as there may be a matting or discoloration of the window frames. If you have already had a situation that we have a problem with removing the tape, it is better to try a less invasive method, e.g. the use of a steam device. Steam produced under pressure will dissolve the glue and make it easier for us to tear off the fragments of the tape. It’s quite a laborious job. We will wash off the adhesive residues with gentle household cleaning products.
