Wooden Velux windows maintenance

[daisy12345]

Hi all, we have three wooden Velux windows in our loft conversion, which was built around 1999. I noticed that the wooden frames seem to be deteriorating, with white flaky bits and blackened corners. Don't think it was this bad when we moved in about a year ago. Does anyone know if there is a way to properly maintain such wooden window frames please? The windows are opened during the day most of the time (if not raining) to ventilate. Thanks!

If you look in the back pages of the velux brochure you will find maintenance kits for sale or look on Velux.co.uk web site. At 25yrs old I would start to think about getting them replaced.
