Common uPVC Window Problems
While uPVC windows are designed for longevity and low maintenance, they can still develop issues over time due to wear and tear, harsh weather conditions and accidental damage. Some of the most common problems homeowners face with their uPVC windows are:
Faulty or stiff locks and handles
One of the most common problems with uPVC windows is stiff, broken, or locks and handles which are malfunctioning. These are often caused by dirt build-up, misalignment or internal component wear. A faulty lock or handle will not only makes it difficult to open and close your window, but can also prove to be a serious security risk which burglars will exploit.
Broken or worn hinges
Damaged or worn hinges can lead to a host of issues including windows that won’t open or close properly causing unwanted drafts. Uneven opening can make the window difficult to operate smoothly and reduce your security, as poorly aligned hinges can make the window easier for burglars to force open.
Misted or foggy double glazing
If you notice condensation between the glass panes, this usually means that the seal on the double-glazed unit has failed, allowing moisture to enter. This not only reduces visibility but also significantly impacts energy efficiency, as the insulating properties of the window are deminished.
Window not closing properly
If your window does not shut fully, it can be because the frame is misaligned, which usually happens over a period of time, often due to the structure of a new property settling, external environmental factors or simply through repeated use.
Warping occurs on uPVC windows due to fluctuations in temperature, particular in extreme weather conditions where the uPVC material is prone to expand and contract, leading to difficulty in closing the window.
Another common issue found with uPVC windows is damaged seals which can prevent secure closure, allowing for moisture and drafts to enter your home. Addressing these issues promptly will ensure improved functionality, better insulation and improved security for your property.
Stuck or jammed windows
uPVC windows can often become jammed due to swollen frames, paint buildup, or damaged internal components. This can make it difficult to open or close them properly, causing not only frustration but more importantly, security concerns.
Draughty windows
If your window does not close properly, it is likely to be due to a misaligned frame, which can shift over time as the building settles or simply through regular use. Temperature fluctuations can also cause uPVC to expand and contract, leading to warping that affects the window’s ability to close securely.
Additionally, obstructed or damaged seals may prevent a tight fit, allowing moisture and drafts to enter. Fixing these issues quickly will help to maintain insulation, improve your security, and ensures the window functions correctly.
