5 Common Window Problems and Their Solutions

Your living room is incredibly hot, even though you have recently got your air conditioning unit repaired. While you reconsider calling an HVAC technician to help you out, you get the idea to check your window as well. Broken or displaced windows often cause trouble and don't shut completely. As a result, they leave a significantly large opening that allows the outside air to enter into your home.
Having a window problem is not something to worry about as it can be solved quite easily. Contrary to popular belief, you don't always have to replace your faulty window. Sometimes, a few quick fixes are enough to keep the windows going for a considerable period. In this article, we'll discuss some of the most common window problems and how you can get rid of them.

Common Window Problems and Solutions

1. Faulty Windows


If your windows are not opening, or they remain open even when you try to shut them, you should inspect their sash support system - especially if you have hung windows that slide up and down. Most of the time, a faulty sash support system is the main reason behind all the trouble. All you have to do is to replace this hardware. In the same manner, if you have an awning or casement window, the fault may lie in the worn-out handle that needs immediate replacement.

2. Security


If you have broken or malfunctioning window locks, it indicates that your house security is compromised. This is quite serious and you should get replacement locks and latches. The only thing you have to take care of is that the replacement parts are of the same size as the old ones.

3. Drafty Windows


Worn-down weatherstripping is one of the most common window problems. Because of this, your window fails to prevent rain droplets or other harsh weather elements from entering your home. The easy solution to this problem is to reseal the gaps in your weatherstripping. In most cases, the weatherstripping is carried out along the perimeter of your window sash. So, it is convenient to replace the worn-down patches with new ones, and you can easily carry out this repair work on your own.

4. Foggy or Broken Glass


If the glass in your window frame is broken, you should take it to a hardware store and get it repaired. A broken window glass also poses serious risk as its sharp edges can seriously hurt you. Another glass-related problem is foggy glass. This indicates that the insulated seal is broken and that the insulated glass unit needs repair.

5. Damaged Window Screen


Have you installed a window sunscreen in your house? This component of your window can also cause some problems. Broken window sunscreens need to be repaired in a timely manner. For this, take the screen to the nearest hardware store and get it fixed. If the frame of the window sunscreen is working just fine, use it to fit new mesh in it.

Summary


The timely attention to window problems will help you get rid of the inconvenience caused by the malfunctioning windows.
