Identifying Window Frame Damage
Window frames often endure more battering than the windows themselves. It’s important to notice any changes to your window frames to ensure your home is in optimal condition. Damage is not always obvious, like visible chipping paint, so here are a few signs indicating it's time to repair your window frames:
Deteriorating Caulk and Loosening Weatherstripping
Damage isn't always visible as it can hide behind a thin layer of paint and worsen over time due to unnoticed moisture build-up. When it causes the caulk and weather stripping to loosen, it’s time for some repair work. Sunlight can also make the caulk shrink and crack, so it's crucial to consult our professionals before the damage necessitates a full window replacement.
Misshapen Windows and Frames
If you witness any warping or unusual angles in your window frames, there is an issue. The damage might not always be visible externally but is often inherent to the frame. Ignoring such damage can make the caulk ineffective and decrease your window’s lifespan.
Sticking Windows
Windows should operate smoothly. It could indicate a warped frame or moisture-induced swelling if they're sticking or difficult to open and close.
Window Drafts
If you sense hot or cold drafts through windows, the energy efficiency seal is probably damaged. Factors like broken caulk, ill-fitting windows, or other problems could be causing this.
Problematic Rotting Window Frames
Rotten wooden window frames can be a significant issue for homeowners. Wood rot begins to form when moisture is trapped in your window frames. Wood rot can lead to a structural deficiency, increase pests, and cause your window frame to fall apart. Wood rot is often caused by inexperienced contractors installing your windows. Rain and moisture can lead to wood rot if caulking or window flashing isn't installed correctly. It is vital to address rotten wooden window frames to keep your family safe from mold and mildew growth.
