Frequent Problems Caused by Poor Window Installation!
When it comes to window replacement or window installation, you want the best fit in terms of aesthetics and energy efficiency. Adding new windows to your home can considerably reduce your heating/cooling costs while also helping increase the resale value of your home. However, window installation should only be done by trusted professionals and experts. Eco Choice Windows guarantees hassle-free installation and service without the problems that can accompany poor window installation.
Here are the frequent problems caused by Poor Window Installation
Draft Problem
If you’re getting new windows installed to reduce the chilly winds that enter your home, the last thing you want is to still feel a draft after the project is complete. New windows should not let in drafts, breezes, or cold winds of any kind. Today’s windows are designed to reduce energy bills by resisting the effects of outside weather elements. If a window is not installed properly, unwanted drafts can come in, defeating the purpose of having an energy-efficient window. If you feel any breeze or draft coming in through the window, contact a professional.
Caulking Issues
At Eco Choice, we always ensure our windows are installed properly. Our experts give proper time and attention to installing your windows, be it bay windows, picture windows, or casement windows. Our professionals patiently install each window to avoid problems such as poor caulking. Caulking is a sealant that helps windows retain their energy efficiency while maintaining a stunning, professional look. Caulking requires patience and is a tedious process that must be done right. Sloppy caulking would ruin the aesthetics of the windows and make them more prone to the elements.
Always call the experts to avoid caulking issues!
Water Damage
Water damage is the source of most problems windows face. From molds, mildews to warping and rotting. If a window is installed incorrectly, even a normal rainfall will affect the window’s quality. You will notice stains in and around the window surroundings caused due to water seepage. The wallpaper will begin to stain and paint will begin to chip and wear off due to the moisture. Call experts immediately if you notice these signs as water damage could eventually lead to structural failure of the window.
Foggy Panes
If your windows are fogging up despite good weather, take it as a sign of a bad window installation job. Foggy windows are a sign that the seal inserted between panes (to keep the gas inside) has been compromised. Due to this the energy efficiency of the windows will go down. Foggy windows are a sure sign of a bad installation and you should contact professionals to take a look at them to fix the damage.
Gaps in the Windows
If you find gaps between the frame and windowsill, you’ll know the window installation has been done improperly. It often results in hasty work when technicians do not take time to take proper measurements of the windows before installing them. Always hire a trusted window installer such as Eco Choice where the work offered is top class by our trained technicians and professionals.
Messy window installation will not only cause operational failures and negatively impact the aesthetics of the home, it will also cost a lot more to fix the damages caused by improper windows. Always trust Eco Choice where we ensure to give every client our time and patience for exceptional service and installation.
