Window Repairs
Window repairs can help homeowners save money and maintain their comfort. In the event of major damages, like broken glass or a damaged frame, a replacement window may be required.
Other issues can be solved to prolong the life of windows. Some common issues include:
Cracked or Broken Panes
If it's an unintentional rock that was tossed by your lawnmowers or a tree branch blown by high winds, damaged windows are not just visually unappealing, but also can result in higher electric bills since the broken pieces allow cold air into your home. It's relatively easy to repair windows with broken panes.
Start by carefully removing glass with gloves and safety sunglasses. You may need to use a utility knife to break loose the old glazing compound or putty around the frame's edges. Next, use a soft paper towel or cloth to clean the surface of the glass and wood of the frame.
After cleaning the area, apply a silicone caulking that is waterproof to the frame's perimeter. This helps prevent water from getting into the crack, which could cause further damage to both the frame and the glass.
A crack that is severe in double-paned glass can affect the gas between the panes, which can make your windows less efficient in insulating. If the crack is so extensive that it threatens the integrity of the window or if the inner pane is missing, you may need to call an expert.
Cracks in thermal stress can occur when there's a significant difference in temperature between the outside and inside of your home, which causes the glass to expand or contract. If this happens to two portions of a window, it's probably best to simply replace the pane instead of attempting to repair it.
Clear tape can be used to seal cracks in windows that are not yet ready to be replaced. It will also keep out cold and bugs. You can cut the length of a nylon stocking to completely cover the crack, and then attach it using duct tape. This is not a permanent solution, but it's a good way to keep cold air out and insects away from your home. If you notice cracks appearing on your windows that are older it is recommended to contact the local company to determine if replacing the whole window is the best option.
Rotten Wood
Wood rot is one of the most frequent problems that plague windows. It can damage a home's appearance and create a safety risk. However, it is possible to repair wood that has rot. It is first necessary to identify the cause of the wood's decay. This can be accomplished by looking for leaks in the roof, missing gutters or cracked caulking, as well as other areas which allow water to penetrate the wood.
The next step is to remove any rotten areas of the window frame. This can be done using a claw hammer, chisel, or blown rasp. After you have removed the decayed wood, you'll have to replace it with fresh wood. It is recommended to use pre-treated wood for this project since it is more resistant to decay. If you are unable to replace the rotted wood, you can try using wood hardener or filler to repair the damaged area. This kind of product will be available at a majority of hardware stores. To get the best results, make sure you follow the instructions on the product label.
After you have repaired the damaged areas of the window sill, it is important that you protect the area. You can do this by applying a water-resistant wood sealant. Sikkens for instance is a fantastic product to apply.
You can also apply an epoxy filler that is two-part to shield the wood from further damage. This product is easy to apply and leaves a nice finish. However, it is important that you follow the application instructions on the label. After the epoxy filler dries, you can sand down the surface of the wooden. It is recommended to begin with a rough grade of sandpaper, and then progress to a smoother grade.
The last thing you would like to do is make the rotted area even worse by exposed to more water. It is recommended, so, to cover the repaired surface with an oil-based prime which will shield it from moisture. Then, you can apply waterproof wood sealant.
The W won't let you open
A window that won't open could be due to many reasons. The house may have settled, or the wood frames could have warped during rainy weather. There is also the possibility that someone put them in place to protect themselves. However, with a little patience and the right tools, many windows that are locked can be opened.
One of the most frequent reasons for windows that won't open is accumulated debris or gunk on its moving parts. Dirt and grime build up on the sliding tracks, hinges, and locks over time, according to Acme Glass. Metal hardware may also rust if it comes into contact humidity and direct sunlight. Making sure these areas are lubricated with spray grease can help to prevent corrosion and keep your window working correctly.
The pulleys that raise or lower the window can be loosened, or break. These components can lose tension and cause obstruction if they are located two or blown more floors above ground.
If you're having trouble opening a window, try using a pry bar to gently force the window open a little at each time. Put a piece of wood on the frame to give the pry bar more leverage. Also, be careful not to scratch the window or wood. Try using a hairdryer to dry the frame's edges for a few minutes. This will warm the wood, making it easier to move.
A faulty spring can also be the cause of windows that aren't able to raise or lower. Depending on the manufacturer of your windows, you'll be required to refer to your owner's manual for further instructions.
If you've tried cleaning the moving parts of your windows and then lubricating them but they're still unable to open it could be the right time to replace them with new, energy-efficient windows from Homespire Windows and Doors. Don't let the windows in your home go from being functional to unusable. If a window isn't properly closed could make your home vulnerable to water damage and burglary.
