Revealing the Window Installation Mistakes

We are listing 6 mistakes in this blog. Stick around till the end and explore them all.

Improper Planning of Window Installation

Proper planning of the window installation is as important as the process; for instance, if you are choosing wooden windows, it is best to get them installed after screening and plastering inside the house. If external insulation of walls is planned, it’s best to get them installed earlier. In the design stage, you also need to determine whether to get external roller blinds installed or not. 

Failing to Prepare Window Openings

Incorrectly preparing or failing to prepare window openings is a common mistake and can be detected soon. Correct measurements before installing windows can help avoid this problem. The process should start by leveling the surface so it does not have cracks, gaps, or spots, and is flat. You should especially pay attention to the bottom edge where the window will rest.

Incorrect Measurements

Another mistake is taking incorrect measurements of the frame, which results in installing windows that are larger or smaller than the frame. Measurements should be taken before the external wall is plastered and after the frame’s edges and foundation are levelled. If you take the measurement before the surface is aligned, this can result in changes in dimensions. In this situation, even a single millimeter can make a significant difference and affect window installation.

Installing Windows on a Dirty Surface 

Careless teams often place windows over a dirty surface. This dust and dirt can prevent windows from being clean enough. Foam spread on the surface will also not adhere to it, leading to tiny leaks. Cold air can infiltrate your house through these leaks, which can affect your home’s ventilation. So, it’s crucial to carefully clean the surface before installing the windows.
