Window Repairs
Window repairs can help homeowners save money and ensure their comfort. Window replacement may be necessary in the event of severe damage like broken glass or a broken window frame.
Many other issues are fixable to extend the longevity of windows. Some common issues include:
Cracked or broken Panes
Cracked windows could be caused by a lawnmower that throws errant rocks or by the blow of a tree branch by strong winds. This is not only visually awful, but it could cause higher energy bills because the broken pieces allow cold air in to your home. It's fairly simple to repair windows that have broken panes.
Begin by carefully removing glass using gloves and glasses. You may need to use an utility knife to break loose the old glazing compound or putty around the frame's edges. Next, wipe down the glass's surface and the wood of the frame using a soft cloth or paper towel.
Once the area is clean, apply a waterproof silicone caulking on the frame's perimeter. This prevents water from entering through the crack, which can cause further damage to the frame and the glass.
A bad crack in double-paned glass can cause gas to leak between the panes, which can make your windows less insulative. If the crack is so extensive that it threatens the integrity of the window, or if the pane inside is not there it is possible to call an expert.
Thermal stress cracks can also occur when there's an extreme difference in temperature between the inside and outside of your home, which causes the glass to expand or contract. If the cracks are on two sides of a window it is recommended to replace it rather than try to repair it.
Clear tape can be used to seal cracks in windows that are not yet ready for replacement. It also keeps out cold and bugs. You can also cut the length of a nylon stocking to completely cover the crack and glue it with duct tape. This is not an indefinite solution, but it can keep insects and cold air away from your home. If your windows are old and you're starting to notice cracks in the glass It's a good idea to check with your local window manufacturer to determine if replacing the entire window could be the best option for you.
Rotten Wood
Wood rot is a typical problem for windows. It can damage a home's appearance and create a security danger. It is possible to repair damaged wood. You will first need to determine the root of the wood decay. Examine for leaks in the roof and other places that water may get into the wood.
The next step is to get rid of any rotten areas of the window frame. This can be accomplished with a claw hammer, chisel or a rasp. After removing the rotten wood, you'll need replace it with new wood. Pre-treated wood is recommended for this task, since it will resist the onset of rot. If you are not able to replace the rotted timber then you can use wood hardener and filler to repair the damaged area. This kind of product can be found in a lot of hardware stores. To achieve the best results, follow the instructions on the product label.
After you have replaced the decayed areas of the windowsill, it's important to protect the repaired area. Apply a water-resistant sealant the wood. Sikkens for instance, is a great product to apply.
Make use of a two-part epoxy to protect the wood against further damage. It is easy to apply and leaves a nice finish. It is important to follow the instructions on the label. Once the epoxy filler has dried you can sand the wood's surface. It is best to begin with a rough layer of sandpaper, and then progress to a smoother grade.
You don't want to expose the rotted part to more moisture. It is therefore a good idea to cover the area that has been repaired with an oil-based primer that will shield it from moisture. Then, you can apply the waterproof wood sealant.
The W won't open
A window that isn't opening can be caused by a variety of reasons. Wood frames can warp during wet weather, the house might have sunk or someone may have nailed it shut for security reasons. But with some patience and the right tools, most windows that are stuck can be opened.
One of the main reasons for windows that won't open is accumulated gunk or debris on its moving parts. Acme Glass notes that dirt and grime accumulates over time on sliding tracks, hinges and locks. Metal hardware can also rust when it comes into contact with humidity and direct sunlight. Making sure these areas are lubricated with spray grease can help to prevent corrosion and keep your window working well.
The pulleys that raise or lower the window may be loosened, or break. The components may be weakened and obstructed if they are located at least two floors higher than the ground.
If you are having difficulty opening a door, you can use a pry-bar to gently open the window. Put a block in the frame of the window to give the pry bar more leverage. Be careful not to harm the wood or the window. Try using a hairdryer to dry the frame's edges for a few minutes. This will warm the wood, making it easier to move.
Another common issue with windows that don't open is a faulty spring that keeps the window jamb from rising or lowering. You'll need to check your owner's guide for more information depending on who made your windows.
