Why Your Old Windows Are Rattling

Age and constant weather exposure make your existing windows more susceptible to rattling. But why exactly does this problem occur in your old units, and how do you deal with it?

Why Your Old Windows Are Rattling

Reasons Your Old Windows Rattle

The rattling in your windows is not only an annoyance – it can also indicate an underlying problem with your existing units. One possibility is loose glass, which can only mean the caulking has already deteriorated between the frames and the window opening. Any openings created by the damaged seal around the windows makes it easier for outdoor temperatures to leak inside your home, compromising its thermal comfort and allowing costly energy to leak outside.

Another reason is rot, which is more common in old wooden windows. This happens when the units are exposed to excessive moisture, causing mold to develop and eat away at the frames. Because both glass and framing material are already compromised, your windows may rattle when a forceful gale makes any contact with them. Should you notice rattling in your current windows, make sure to consult a reliable window and door replacement company like Renewal by Andersen® of Southwest Missouri promptly for the necessary solution.

Reviews

"Quality product, quality workmanship. Everyone I interacted with at Renewal by Andersen of SW Missouri had pride in their work from sales to financing to project oversight to installation. It must be a great company to work for because that shows in the professionalism of the staff. Best of all, they want happy customers and go out of their way to make sure that happens. Yes, I love my windows (but I knew I would--it's a great product). Friendly, helpful, easy financing, and yes--they pass costs on to the customer for this, but it meant that I was able to get the windows I wanted and needed for my creaky, lopsided old house. Couldn't be more pleased."

"The company representative who met with me initially was very direct, told me how the process would go, explained about why Anderson windows are of such good quality and how they stand by their products and their workmanship. My 3 windows arrived when they said they would, & the men who installed them were very professional, polite, & efficient. They showed me how the windows work and left the room as tidy as it was before they did the installation."

"We just had our windows done by Renewal. They kept us informed about the progress of manafucture & installed at the approximate date. Good qualtity & if you didn't know that there were screens on the windows you would think they were missing. Very clear view. Great in this hot weather, the house stays cool."
