Stopping and restarting creates visible irregularities. Immediately after application, it's smoothed with a silicone spatula or a finger dipped in soapy water to achieve the characteristic uniform concave finish. Masking tape is removed before the silicone starts to cure, within the first 5 minutes. First, the old silicone must be completely removed. New silicone cannot be applied over old silicone; it won't adhere and will peel off within weeks. Removal is done with a special utility knife, scraper, and, in difficult cases, with a specific chemical softener that dissolves the old silicone without damaging the tile.

In winter, when humidity drops and dry westerly winds blow, the wood contracts. The door closes well, but there's a visible gap between the door and the frame, allowing air and noise to pass through. This is the natural cycle of wood and can only be avoided by two things: either replacing it with an MDF or multi-laminate door that doesn't move, or learning to live with it and occasionally adjusting the hinges. This is a very specific pattern in the area. Interior solid wood doors, especially those in blocks from the 80s-90s, swell and contract with seasonal humidity changes. In summer, when humidity and temperature are high, the wood absorbs moisture from the air and expands. The door stops closing properly, rubs against the top or side of the frame, and forcing it closed only damages the hinge. We identify the real cause (humidity, settling, worn hardware) before taking action.

For more modern windows with tilt-and-turn profiles and thermal breaks, the hardware is of better quality but also requires maintenance. Lubricating the hinges and adjusting the locking points every 2-3 years significantly extends their lifespan and prevents air from entering in winter or making them difficult to open. Minimum 24 hours for full curing. Quality neutral silicone dries to the touch in 30 minutes, but internal curing takes 24 hours to be waterproof. We assemble wardrobes, shelving units, beds, desks, and kitchen furniture following the manufacturer's instructions. We level, anchor to the wall when necessary, and remove packaging upon completion.
