Precautions to take when installing windows in the Winter
Replace one window at a time
Weather concerns
Can windows be installed in rainy weather?
In most cases, most installers will opt to reschedule in the event of rainy weather. However, depending on the severity of the rain, some installers may install windows that are already in a covered area to minimize the chance of water coming in.
Not only is it possible for water to get in through the opening for your window, but the window materials can also be damaged in the process. The integrity of materials such as the insulation and caulking can be damaged from the water seeping in.
Also, the sealant won’t properly seal if there’s too much moisture. So, even if your installers do opt to install windows in rainy weather, the process may have to be completed on two separate days.
It’s likely that your installer will already be aware of the predicted weather conditions and may call you in advance to reschedule.
What about windy weather?
Windy weather can be a less intrusive problem than rainy weather, but windy weather can also warrant your replacement window appointment to be postponed.
