Consequences of poor-quality installation of windows and doors
Improper use of drip cap. The window must be behind the drip cap, otherwise water can get inside through the silicone cracks.
Moisture under the window in the bedroom contributes to the formation of condensation, which destroys the wood of the walls, so be sure to cover it with blueskin or 3M
Incorrect use of screws, the distance between the screws should not exceed 24 inches. In this case, the distance is much greater. One more screw is not enough
Poor-quality window foaming. Cold enters the house through these gaps.
Rotting of the bottom of the window sill can lead to rotting of the studs.
The screws need to be a certain shape because they have to hold the window frame.
