Renewal by Andersen®: Signs of Poor Window Installation

Proper window installation is a vital aspect in window replacement. If your window contractors in San Francisco did a poor job with the installation, don’t be surprised if you need to shell out more money to get it done right.

With improperly installed windows comes energy loss. This means you may end up having to pay more on your energy bill. Windows that are not properly installed can also be a hassle to maintain and clean as the window sashes might be harder to fully open or close. In addition, replacement windows that are poorly installed can easily break or deteriorate as water can easily seep into cracks and eventually cause damage.

With all these problems directly resulting from poor window installation, you need to check your own windows to see if they were installed right. Watch out for these telltale signs:

• Uncomfortable drafts inside your home on cold days
• Fogging or misting windowpanes
• Gaps between frames, sashes, and openings
• Protruding sills and edges
• Rotting window sills and frames
• Windows that don’t fit well in the opening
• Wrong application of weather stripping and/or sealant

If you see any of these signs, you need to get them fixed immediately before they can cause any more damage inside your home.
