Common Issues That Lead to Custom Window Repair

Custom windows add unique style, energy efficiency, and architectural appeal to homes and commercial properties. However, due to their non-standard shapes, materials, and features, they require specialized care and may develop issues over time. Below are the most common problems that lead to custom window repairs, along with their causes, affected parts, prevention tips, and solutions.

  • Frame Warping
  • Fogged Glass
  • Difficulty Opening
  • Air Leaks
  • Locking Mechanism Failure
  • Water Leakage

 

Frame Warping or Deterioration

 

Сustom shape frame warping or deterioration

Why does this happen?

Custom windows often feature wood, vinyl, aluminum, or fiberglass frames, which can warp, rot, or corrode due to prolonged exposure to moisture, extreme temperatures, and humidity. Wooden frames are especially prone to rotting if not properly sealed.

 

Most affected parts.

The window frame, sash, and sealant joints are the most vulnerable areas. Warping can cause misalignment, drafts, and difficulty opening and closing the window.

 

How to prevent?

Regularly apply weather-resistant sealants and repaint or refinish wooden frames as needed. For aluminum frames, ensure proper drainage and rust protection.

 

Solution to fix

For minor warping, re-aligning and reinforcing the frame may help. If rot or corrosion has set in, frame repair or full frame replacement may be necessary to maintain the window’s integrity.

 

Broken or Fogged Glass

 

Why does this happen?

Custom windows often use double or triple-pane insulated glass. Over time, moisture can seep in due to failed seals, causing condensation between panes. Accidental impact, severe weather, or temperature fluctuations can also result in cracked or shattered glass.

 

Most affected parts.

The insulated glass unit (IGU) and window seals are the most affected. Fogged glass reduces visibility and insulation, while cracks compromise security and efficiency.

 

How to prevent?

Choose high-quality, well-sealed insulated glass and avoid excessive pressure on window panes. If the home is in an area with extreme temperatures, opt for Low-E or tempered glass for added durability.

 

Solution to fix

If condensation appears inside the panes, replacing the insulated glass unit is necessary. For cracked or shattered glass, a custom glass replacement will restore the window’s appearance and functionality.

 

Difficulty Opening or Closing the Window

 

Why does this happen?

Over time, dirt, rust, and misalignment can cause custom windows to become stiff or hard to operate. If a window has moving parts like hinges, sliding tracks, or cranks, they can wear out or become obstructed.

 

Most affected parts.

The window hinges, tracks, locks, and handle mechanisms are commonly affected. A stuck window may fail to close properly, leading to security risks and insulation problems.

 

How to prevent?

Regularly clean and lubricate hinges, tracks, and locking components to prevent buildup and rust. Avoid forcing a stuck window, as this can worsen the issue.

 

Solution to fix

If the window is stiff but not broken, applying lubrication and adjusting misaligned parts can restore function. If parts are severely worn or damaged, replacing hinges, locks, or tracks may be necessary.

 

Drafts and Air Leaks Around the Window

 

Why does this happen?

Over time, gaskets, weather stripping, and sealant joints can degrade, allowing cold air to enter in winter and warm air to escape in summer. Improper installation may also lead to gaps between the window frame and wall.

 

Most affected parts.

The rubber gaskets, window seals, and weather stripping are the most affected components. Drafty windows increase energy bills and decrease indoor comfort.

 

How to prevent?

Inspect seals and weather stripping regularly and replace them when they harden or crack. Ensure proper window alignment to maintain a tight seal.

 

Solution to fix

Replacing the damaged seals or weather stripping can eliminate drafts. If the window frame is the issue, realigning or resealing the frame will improve insulation and efficiency.

 

Locking Mechanism Failure

 

Why does this happen?

Locks on custom windows can loosen, break, or jam due to frequent use, rust, or misalignment. A faulty lock can compromise security and prevent proper sealing, leading to drafts.

 

Most affected parts.

The locking mechanism, handle, and latch components are the primary points of failure. When a lock malfunctions, the window may not fully close or stay securely shut.

 

How to prevent?

Regularly test and lubricate window locks to ensure smooth operation. Keep an eye out for loose screws or parts and tighten them as needed.

 

Solution to fix

For minor issues, realigning the lock or tightening loose screws may solve the problem. If the lock is damaged or rusted, a full lock replacement is required.

 

Water Leakage and Structural Damage

 

Why does this happen?

Custom windows with unique shapes or large glass panels can be vulnerable to water intrusion if not properly sealed. Heavy rain, poor installation, or aging seals can cause water to seep through gaps, leading to mold, mildew, and wall damage.

 

Most affected parts.

The sealant, caulking, and window frame are the most affected areas. Water damage can also weaken the surrounding structure, requiring more extensive repairs.

 

How to prevent?

Ensure that caulking and sealants are regularly checked and reapplied if needed. Install proper drainage systems around windows to prevent standing water from accumulating.

 

Solution to fix

If water is leaking, replacing the sealant, caulking, and weatherproofing materials will restore water resistance. For severe cases, reinstalling or reframing the window may be necessary.

Handy Tips and Hints for Maintaining Custom Shape Windows

Custom shape windows enhance the architectural appeal of a home with unique designs like arches, circles, trapezoids, and oversized panels. However, their distinct shapes and specialized materials require proper maintenance to ensure longevity, energy efficiency, and smooth functionality. Follow these essential care tips to keep your custom shape windows in top condition.

  1. Regular Cleaning for Clear Views and Longevity

    - Clean window glass and frames at least twice a year using a mild soap and warm water solution.
    - Avoid abrasive cleaners that may scratch the glass or damage the frame finish.
    - For large or high-placed custom windows, consider using an extendable cleaning tool or hiring a professional window cleaning service.

  2. Inspect and Maintain Window Seals & Weather Stripping

    - Custom windows often have specialized seals that can wear down over time, leading to drafts and energy loss.
    - Check weather stripping and rubber gaskets every season, especially before winter and rainy months.
    - Replace deteriorated seals to maintain proper insulation and prevent moisture leaks.

  3. Keep Hardware & Moving Parts Functioning Smoothly

    - If your custom window tilts, turns, or opens, lubricate the hinges, locks, and pivot points with a silicone-based lubricant every 6 months.
    - Avoid oil-based lubricants, as they attract dust and dirt, which can cause stiff operation.
    - Tighten any loose screws in handles, locks, or hinges to ensure proper functionality.

  4. Check for Air Leaks and Drafts

    - Hold a candle or a small piece of paper near the window’s edges—if the flame flickers or the paper moves, there may be air leakage.
    - Drafts can occur due to shrinkage in wooden frames, failed window seals, or misalignment.
    - Reseal gaps with high-quality caulking or weather stripping to prevent energy loss.

  5. Monitor for Condensation and Moisture Issues

    - Custom windows, especially large or fixed-pane designs, can accumulate condensation due to poor ventilation or seal failure.
    - Keep indoor humidity levels controlled with dehumidifiers or proper ventilation.
    If moisture appears between double or triple-pane glass, it indicates a failed seal, requiring glass replacement.

  6. Prevent Wood Frame Damage

    - Apply protective sealants or varnish to wooden frames to prevent rot, moisture absorption, and cracking.
    Inspect for signs of peeling paint or soft wood, which may indicate early stages of decay.
    - If you notice water damage or wood rot, contact a professional restoration service to prevent further deterioration.

  7. Ensure Large or Specialty Glass Panels are Secure

    - Custom-shaped windows with oversized glass panels require extra care to prevent shifting or loosening over time.
    - Check that the frame and glazing are secure, ensuring no movement or gaps between the glass and the frame.
    - If you notice shifting, cracks, or fogging, consider a professional inspection for possible glass repair or replacement.

  8. Maintain Window Screens (If Applicable)

    - If your custom shape window includes a screen, gently remove and clean it with mild soap and water.
    - Avoid pushing or leaning on screens, as irregularly shaped screens can be difficult to replace.
    - If the screen becomes damaged or torn, have a custom screen replacement fitted to ensure proper function.

  9. Schedule Professional Inspections for Hard-to-Reach Windows

    - Many custom-shaped windows are installed in high or hard-to-reach places, making DIY maintenance difficult.
    - Schedule annual professional inspections to check for seal failure, cracks, hardware wear, and frame stability.
    - Timely professional care can prevent expensive repairs or full replacements down the road.
