If your windows leak every time it rains, it may not just be because of the aging of the doors and windows. The first is that there are design problems in the doors and windows themselves. It turns out that there are many doors and windows on the market that are "substandard". Some doors and windows leak at the joints and openings. Most of them are due to quality problems and lax sealing. In addition, the quality of materials is not up to par, and the service life of strips, glue, hinges, etc. is shortened and prone to aging.
In addition to the quality issues of the product itself, the impact of the wall and installation operations are also important causes of water seepage in doors and windows. If there are cracks in the wall, water will seep into the cavities of the doors and windows, causing leaks. Some masters directly weld the doors and windows with cement during installation, which may cause cracks over time.
Normally, installation involves applying foam glue first and then waterproof glue. Some craftsmen may not apply the waterproof glue properly, or may not apply waterproof glue at all. If the foam glue is exposed to the outside for a long time, it will become powdery after a few months. , leading to water leakage between the wall and the frame.
It usually takes several days to solve these problems, but there is still a risk that these problems will occur after a period of time. If you replace doors and windows, there is a door and window production period. If you install doors and windows, an average family can complete the installation in one day. But replacing doors and windows can completely solve this problem.
