Depending on materials, components, and use, residential windows have a lifespan of 15 to 30 years. Natural elements and wear and tear can individually, or work together to degrade the parts that make up your window. All can affect one or more window parts, impeding the functionality and longevity of your window.
Drafts & Temperature
A noticeable problem is drafts or cold air coming through your window, even when closed. You may notice an increase in your energy bills as a result, as your furnace now has to put in extra work to keep your home warm. Draft leakage is most often due to an issue with your window’s locks or sash. Whatever the case may be, the Window Hardware Company has virtually every part imaginable to easily replace and solve the draft problem.
Leaks & Condensation
Moisture or condensation between your window panes indicates that your window isn’t functioning properly. Typically, condensation is a sign that your window seal has been compromised. But this issue can also stem from various faulty window parts, so it’s best to speak to a professional to get a proper analysis of the problem.
If you’re having difficulty opening or closing your windows, you may be due for a new handle, crank or window operators and hinges. All parts are susceptible to breaking or loosening over time. Included in our replacement parts for windows are both hinges and operators for awning and casement windows, as well as a variety of aesthetically pleasing handles or cranks that can match any window design or style.
Pests
The emergence of unwanted critters and insects can also signify faulty window parts. A compromised window locking system not only jeopardizes your home security but can result in your window acting as a gateway for uninvited guests.
