Troubleshooting

Check for any obstructions in the track or frame. Ensure the locking mechanism is fully disengaged. If the issue persists, the hinges or mechanism may require adjustment or lubrication.

Water leaks around the window frame.

Verify that the edge sealing is intact and properly seated. Ensure the window was installed correctly with appropriate flashing and sealing in the wall opening. Re-seal any gaps between the window frame and the wall if necessary.

Condensation between glass panes.

This indicates a seal failure in the double glazing. The insulated glass unit (IGU) may need to be replaced.
