Window problems don’t just have to be with the structural components such as breakage. Some may be issues to do with other inadequacies, in which case, a replacement is always merited to preserve the integrity and the aesthetics of the window.
Here are some common problems you should expect with your windows in the West Island:
Condensation in the Interior Glass
Condensation on the interior or exterior of your replacement windows, shouldn’t be much of an issue, except when it happens in your double pane units on the inside. The presence of fog between the panes will signify a failure of the seals, and it will not just hamper visibility, but also the aesthetics of the entire window.
Excessive Air Leakage
Of course not every window will be airtight, but the amount of air infiltration inside the room should be unnoticeable. If by any chance you feel a draft when it was supposed to be airtight, then this could signify the presence of gaps or cracks on the window. Resealing would be a good idea, though not a permanent solution.
Bad Daylighting
One of the reasons to install quality windows is to have good amounts of sunlight in your rooms. But with time, age can catch up with the windows and prevent 100% of the sunlight into the house. This is just an indication that the windows are now old, and you should consider replacement windows.
Difficulty in Operations
Good West Island windows should be easy to operate, and should not appear jerky whenever you are opening or closing. If the operation is not smooth, then some components might be experiencing issues. The window should thus be inspected as soon as possible for any cracks or breakages, and should potentially be replaced by a more efficient one.
