What to Expect When You Replace Your Windows
If you’re getting ready to replace the windows in your home, you probably have many questions about the process. Which style windows should you choose? Are low-E, double-paned windows the best choice? What frame material is the most energy-efficient?
There are a couple of questions, though, that are often left off the list:
- What does the replacement window installation process involve?
- What happens if your windows aren’t installed properly?
To get the most out of your window replacement investment, be sure to do your research to select the best, most reliable, and skilled installers in the business. There’s absolutely no need to suffer from a bad window installation!
The Cost of Improper Window Installation
New windows are a significant investment, yet too many homes have been marred by the improper installation of replacement windows. When you pay good money to have your windows upgraded or replaced, you rightfully expect the job to be done correctly and efficiently.
When windows are improperly installed, both you and your home can start to feel the effects quite quickly.
- Gaps are the most apparent sign your windows aren’t installed correctly. There should never be a gap between the frame and sill. If there is, the frame is too large for the glass.
- Drafty windows make your home uncomfortable and affect its energy efficiency. Drafts or breezes of any kind have no place in newly installed windows.
- Water damage can lead to wood rot and the growth of mold and mildew.
- Operational failure occurs when your new windows don’t open or close correctly.
- Messy caulking is easy to spot and means the installer didn’t take the time to do it correctly.
- Fog between the panes is a sure sign of a lousy replacement window installation job.
