Ive heard that the corners of vinyl windows can crack or separate, allowing air or water to enter the home. Whats the best way to put vinyl windows together to avoid this problem?
Wood windows are put together using staples, which over time can come loose, or even fall out. Most vinyl and aluminum windows are screwed together and sometimes caulked. The day they leave the factory, most vinyl windows are “perfect”, meaning they are square in their construction, and free from gaps, cracks or other problems. But the real concern is, in what condition will they be in 5 years, 10 years, or even 25 years later. So, it’s recommended that you look for windows with sashes and master frames that are secured in the best way possible, which is Fusion Welding.
