It has been seen and informed million times that, for efficient windows you need proper installation. Even if you buy three pane windows, it won’t function properly unless it’s installed accurately. Poorly installed windows won’t be able to keep the warm air inside. Worse is the leakage problem, yes a badly installed can be a nightmare in rainy seasons.

Poorly installed windows will affect the performance and life of the window. However, if you are planning on replacing old windows with new ones or you have ready done so, here are some tips that will help you in identifying whether your windows are installed poorly or not.

  1. Draftiness:

Due improper installation, the inside pane can catch moist due to poor air infiltration. But this can’t be caught just after installation. It needs time till it gets visible and that might be too late. One thing can be done to find out whether your window is free of draftiness or not.

Hold a matchstick or a lighter closer to the inner opening of the window. If the smoke moves inward that means there are some tiny gaps in between the window frame and case. Hire a professional to fix the problem.

  1. Poor frame:

You might not be able to identify the poor framework because it looks fine apparently. This can be checked by the handles or if the window doesn’t snug properly. This often happens because the installer didn’t measure the size of the window before installing. Another reason can be usage of low quality material.

Fixtures like handle or lose screw can be replaced. But if there is a serious problem, then you might need to call your contractor again to reinstall the windows properly. Make sure the contractor follows the instruction given by the material in the box. The proper measurement of size is important.

  1. Security concerns:

A window works as a safeguard of your house. It works like a camera; you can look through it to see intruders or just a beautiful. Either way it has to be safe and secure. If the windows are installed poorly then your security is at high risk. Maybe the locks are working or maybe the double pane glass isn’t functioning the way it should. This is not less than an invitation to break inside through window.

The least you can do is get a lock for your window in case you don’t have one or it doesn’t work properly. Remember breaking a double pane glass isn’t difficult if the window isn’t fit perfectly.

  1. Energy consumption:

Properly installed windows are energy efficient. They consume less energy, which results in less energy bills. These windows can keep your home cool in summers and warm in winters. But if you find no change at all, this is the sign your windows maybe not functioning properly.

If you find a drastic increase in your energy bill, it’s high time to get your windows fixed or replaced.

  1. No warranty:

Note this; every good material window comes with warranty. Usually contractors give warranty on the installation of new windows; if they don’t give, it is an indication of poor installation. The warranty includes material, labor, and installation. If you have already installed your windows and it needs maintenance or replacement, use your warranty card and get it done.

Protect your windows, if you live in Trenton then hire a professional contractor from a reputable company for installing replacement windows in Trenton Michigan. Don’t do all by yourself. Your windows are beautiful, but they also need to be reliable and secure even if no one is at home.
