The most common window breakages
1. Window hardware breakages
– Window crank operators: A window crank is a mechanism that is used in window systems to open and close them. It usually consists of a crank and other elements that convert the rotary movement of the handle into linear movement of the window sash. Breakage of this mechanism negatively affects the functionality of the window (prevents normal opening/closing). Loose fitting of the sash leads to heat leakage, which increases heating costs. In addition, improperly closed windows become vulnerable to burglary or poor weather.
– Window balances: Window balances are mechanisms that are used in window systems, especially vertically opening windows. They help to balance the weight of the sash, making it easier to open and close. Faulty balances make the window difficult to open. If the balances are not functioning properly, it puts additional stress on other window mechanisms, increasing the risk of breakage.
– Window accessories: Window handles, hinges, locks, etc. are all window accessories. In addition to deteriorating the appearance of the window, the breakage of accessories leads to improper operation of the window, increases the load on the mechanisms and causes the risk of their further breakage.
2. Rotten wood window
– Rotten window frame: Damaged frame worsens the appearance of the building, in addition, the strength of the window deteriorates, cracks and breaks in the frame lead to heat leakage, moisture penetration, which causes mold growth and wood rot. All these problems negatively affect the window structure and the health of the homeowners.
– Window brick molding and exterior boards: Damage to these elements leads to moisture intrusion, further wood rot and mold development. If brick molding and exterior boards are not properly secured, they can crack and collapse, posing a danger to homeowners and their property.
– Rotten window sash: A rotten window sash is a common issue, especially in older wooden windows. A rotten sash compromises the window’s strength, making it more likely to fail. Addressing rot early can prevent it from spreading to other parts of the window or surrounding structure, saving money on more extensive repairs.
– Rotten window sill: Wooden sills are especially susceptible to rot due to moisture exposure. This can weaken the structure and lead to further damage. Cracks can develop in the sill due to temperature fluctuations, settling of the building, or poor installation. This can allow water infiltration. If a sill is not installed correctly, it may not fit securely against the window frame, leading to drafts and water leaks. Insects can infest wooden sills, causing significant damage over time.
3. Foggy glass, scratches and cracks on the glass
– Glass fogging: This is caused by a failure of the sealing of the insulating glass unit, which allows moisture to condense between the panes. We talk more about this problem in the article «Window Glass Condensation: When is it Time to Replace?».
– Scratches and cracks on the window glass: Scratches and cracks on window glass can significantly impact both aesthetics and functionality. The cause can be mechanical damage, temperature changes, poor quality glass (we work with a proven glass company and provide 20-year warranty on the thermal seal, 10-year warranty on woodwork). Cracks can lead to air leaks, reducing the energy efficiency of the window and increasing heating and cooling costs. Large cracks can compromise the structural integrity of the glass, posing a risk of breakage and injury.
