Here are a few things that can go wrong if your windows are installed improperly.

Poor Insulation

One of the most noticeable issues that can occur from improper window installation is a drafty interior to your home. A great set of energy-efficient windows can easily help you save hundreds on your bills every year, but if you don’t have them installed properly, you could be throwing away those savings. There may be visible signs of your windows being installed poorly like gapping, poor sealant work, or even uneven windows. If the areas around your windows are excessively cold in the winter or hot in the summer, your installer may not have done the best job.

Foggy Windows

Although all windows will begin to show signs of age after a while, a clear sign of a poor installation is if you see large amounts of fog or mold building up in your windows. Fog in between the panes of your window is a sign that the sealant has begun to break down or has been critically damaged. This can happen from installers being too rough with their tools or not taking the time to properly install sealant.

Water Damage

One of the worst issues that can come from an improperly installed window is water damage. Leaky or poorly installed windows can allow water to pour into your walls without you knowing about it until it is much too late. This water can cause black mold, which is extremely dangerous to inhale and can critically weaken the framing of your walls. Excessive water damage can cost tens of thousands of dollars to repair, so make sure that when you are installing new windows that you are choosing a company that you can trust.
