Mould and More: Most Common Types of Window Damage

Grassmoor Glass Ltd • July 6, 2023

While windows can serve as a good protective barrier against the outside world, they aren’t immune to damage. In fact, they can be just as vulnerable as other parts of your property. Read on to discover the most common types of window damage.

Wood rot or mould

Typically when we envision rot or mould, we picture it along our home’s inner walls or in the basement. However, these growths are common annoyances when it comes to our windows. During storms or long damp spells, cheap wood frames will absorb humidity in the air and trigger the development of harmful organisms. This means that over time, both mould and rot will eat away at the frames and weaken them beyond repair.

Broken window seal

Regardless of how reinforced glass is, it is still prone to chipping under the right amount of force. When this happens, moisture will enter and collect between the panes. This creates substantial problems when it comes to energy efficiency and saving money, as your house will become more cold and airy. It’s worth noting that seals can also be broken when your home shifts on its foundation.

Faulty hardware

Another common type of window damage is malfunctioning hardware. These components allow us to lock our windows and freely adjust how they sit when open, meaning they are essential to how well the window functions. However, these components can become considerably less effective with age and break after several years of consecutive use. Often, these moving parts can rush which makes it much more difficult to move them how you want.

Expanding or shrinking frames

Your windows frames can even shrink or expand depending on your local temperatures. Cold climates will often lead them to contract, while warmth will cause them to get larger. This can prevent your windows from fitting correctly in their slots and create further issues with sealing and moisture. Unfortunately, this particular type of damage can be out of your control. So it’s best to be aware that it can happen so you’re prepared to take the next steps in repairing your windows.

Broken window panes

Window panes can break for many reasons - the most common being extreme weather conditions such as hail and thrown objects such as balls. When something hits a window with force, the glass can shatter and break, causing you to lose energy efficiency and safety, and leaving a potential mess of broken glass.
