Many people assume that windows cannot be installed in the middle of the cold weather months, but don’t be fooled. Here are some of the most common questions (and answers) about cold-weather window installation:
If I install the windows in the winter, will the windows expand during the summer months causing difficult to operate windows? No, thermal expansion is so minor that it is not an issue. Quality manufacturers also will build tolerance into the window to prevent breakage. Companies that know the craft of manufacturing have this knowledge and produce a window that can be installed in any weather–hot or cold.
Will the caulk freeze or not set up? Again, the answer is no. A good installer will use a silicone caulk or paint grade latex caulk not affected by temperature.
Will my house get cold during the installation? Yes and no…it’s all in the technique of the installer. A good installer will prep the window for removal, and the window opening will only be “open” for a few minutes so it should not to disrupt the home’s temperature.
Will the windows be air-tight as a result of a winter installation? Yes, vinyl windows have a product called fin-seal. This seal creates three pliable barriers integrated into a self-supporting air barrier, providing the ultimate air seal. This system creates a lot of room for expansion and contraction, making the installation temperature independent.
