Common uPVC Window Issues
Yes, uPVC windows are supposed to last longer and require minimal upkeep. However, they are not immune to seasonal wear & tear due to frequent usage. Many homeowners in the UK face the following problems with their uPVC windows:
Faulty or stiff locks and handles
Did you know that uPVC windows often get jammed due to stiff locks or inoperable handles? The accumulation of dirt and muck can lead to these issues. Also, mechanical failures as well as misaligned components may cause these problems. Due to these challenges, you won’t be able to open/close your windows 100%, turning them into an intruder-friendly entryway.
Broken or worn hinges
When the hinges don’t work properly, your windows won’t open/close all the way. So, your room can become drafty after a while. Also, damaged hinges make a potential burglar’s life easier, so you need to repair these hinges right away.
Misted or foggy double glazing
Can you see mist gathering betwixt the two glass panes? This condensation is a sign that the size of the dual-glazed unit isn’t working properly. The accumulation of moisture makes a house less energy-efficient and also impacts visibility. Replacing the sealant will restore the insulation properties of your uPVC windows and bring them back to full working order.
Window that don't close properly
Alignment issues with the window frame can prevent it from closing fully. This problem is caused by environmental factors or when the window is used frequently. Also, when a property begins to settle, the whole shifting of the building may cause windows to become misaligned.
Sudden temperature changes can also make the uPVC your windows are made of expand and contract over time. This thermal expansion, often taking place during heatwaves, makes it hard to properly shut your windows.
Also, damaged sealants make your windows poorly insulated, letting moisture enter the house. You must address these issues with your uPVC windows right away. That’s how you can make your home more energy-efficient and also keep intruders at bay.
Stuck or jammed windows
When window frames are swollen due to the accumulation of paint or damaged by mechanical failures, your uPVC windows will become blocked. So, you won’t be able to open/close them the right way. It’s a major security issue, something you must address.
Draughty windows
If your window fails to close properly, it may be due to a frame that has become misaligned, often as a result of the building settling or wear from regular use. Changes in temperature can also cause uPVC frames to expand and contract, potentially leading to distortion that affects the window’s ability to shut securely, resulting in draughty conditions.
Furthermore, any blockages or damage to the window seals can prevent the window from fitting tightly, allowing moisture and draughts to enter. Addressing these issues promptly will help maintain insulation, enhance security, and ensure the window operates as intended.
