5 Signs That Your Windows Were Not Installed Properly

Installation quality is crucial to your windows’ long-term performance, which makes it just as important a factor when planning on getting new windows. In today’s post, local replacement window company Renewal by Andersen of Kansas City shares signs that your windows are not installed properly.

5 Signs That Your Windows Were Not Installed Properly

Signs That Your Windows Are Not Installed Properly

The following are some of the signs that typically indicate window installation errors.

1. Gaps between sill and frame — Gaps between the window sill and frame indicate improper leveling, and can result in drafts and long-term window operation problems.

2. The windows leak when it rains — Properly-installed windows should form an airtight seal when closed. Rainwater leaking through the windows indicate improper alignment or warped windows.

3. The windows are hard to open and close — Improper installation is one of the few reasons why windows are difficult to open and close. For example, what seems to be faulty hardware on hard-to-crank casement windows, can be corrected with hardware and sash adjustments.

4. Messy and uneven window seals — Properly-applied window seals should be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Applying caulking cleanly and evenly takes training to do properly. Uneven seals can develop leaks over time as the caulk ages.

5. Condensation between glass panes — Condensation on the indoor or outdoor glass surface is normal, but between glass panes it is not. The latter indicates a leak that could be caused by one or more of the following: manufacturing error, damage during delivery, or careless installation.
