Common uPVC window failures to watch out to control damage

Even though uPVC windows are low on maintenance, failures may occur. Ignoring them will escalate the problem and impact the operating systems adversely. What are the common problems with uPVC windows, and why do they need immediate fixing?

VEKA is a manufacturing company which corrects different uPVC windows problems and failures. This post describes the problems and how they are fixed.

The most common issues with uPVC window failures are mentioned below.

• Wrong material selection for making the windows. When a cheap vendor is chosen for the job, he may use raw materials at a low cost. The glass size is likely to change in extreme temperatures. A repair specialist can only fix this issue, which can be costly.
• No material is perfect, and periodically even uPVC can create issues. Getting them restored is the best decision you can make. Otherwise, you will have to replace the window or door, compromising security and privacy.
• The metal parts get wobbly or fall off with frequent usage. In places like schools, hospitals or public areas, the daily footprint is larger compared to offices or homes. Constant pulling leads to problems. A quick fix is required to correct it so that the entire structure does not fall apart.
• When people move in a hurry, they do not shut doors properly. Slamming weakens it, or some parts may fall off. This problem needs to be solved immediately before more damage is done.

Need for efficient fixtures

Many glass buildings are an integral part of urban spaces in India. The glass contributes to elegance and also protection when it is double-glazed. As new technology is used, the pitfalls are difficult to be fixed. They require specialists to handle the core drawbacks. The handles or locks may require replacement. Damaged seals, moisture or misty glass panes create a mess as well.

In areas where the sunlight is strong, ultraviolet rays enter the rooms. Homes in coastal regions have the problem of salty air entering from the windows. If drained holes at the bottom of the frames are blocked, they cause dampness. Watch out for wetness which puts a strain on energy efficiency.

Water vapour enters windows that are more than 15 years old. However, if it occurs in a new window, then it is a red flag. Professionals need to check the problem. It could be due to the low quality of the glass or a bad installation. Keep monitoring the systems to curtail repair or losses.
