Poor installation is among the most common causes of issues related to windows – a window that is not installed as it should be will get damaged prematurely, it will hinder the thermic comfort of the room and it will also increase energy bills. Here are some signs that indicate improper mounting:
- Gaps between the windowsill and the wall – properly installed windows fit into their gap perfectly. If you can see any gap between the window and the wall around, it is a clear sign that your window technician did not use the correct measurements;
- Draftiness – modern windows use multiple panes to prevent any exchange of air between the room and the outdoor environment when the window is closed. If you see your curtains moving when the window is not open or if you feel a draft whenever you pass by your closed window, the issue indicates poor implementation;
- Excessive moisture between the panes or around your window – improperly installed windows fail to seal the opening on the wall as they should, allowing moisture from outside to enter your home. Excessively damp air, mold and mildew in your room or excessive fogging between your glass panes are signs that your window has not been installed correctly and you should have a window replacement Denver professional out to inspect.
