Troubleshooting

Window is difficult to open or close

Check for any obstructions around the handle or hinges. Ensure the window frame is not warped. Clean and lubricate the operating mechanism if necessary.

Drafts or air leaks around the window

Inspect the seals and weatherstripping for damage or wear. Ensure the window is properly closed and latched. Check the installation for gaps that may need sealing.

Condensation on the glass

Condensation can occur due to high indoor humidity. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room, possibly by using the window's ventilation flap more frequently. Check that the ThermoTechnology™ insulation is intact.

Water leakage around the window

Verify that the flashing is correctly installed and sealed. Inspect the roofing materials around the window for any damage or blockages in the drainage path. Ensure the window seals are in good condition.
