PVC windows have a certain property to break, like any other object. And when they break, the question becomes whether they need repair? Might be better to get new ones?
The most important issue is quality. If the defect lies in the double-glazed window, then it will not be difficult to detect it already in the first year of operation.

Because when replacing a window, the window is dismantled, the defective double-glazed window is replaced and a new window is installed. Do not even try to repair windows on your own. If the cracks are found on the double -glazed window, or between the glasses – condensate, you need to contact professionals. They and only they will be able to indicate the cause of a malfunction of the windows, whether it be a marriage of a supplier, or mechanical damage during installation, operation.

2. Condensate formation on internal glass.Priority is necessary to ventilate the room well. If the condensate is not removed, then the problem is in a poor -quality window installation. The company that installed windows for you could simply take the measurements of the window opening incorrectly and manufacture, respectively, with deviations from the true dimensions. In this case, you need to contact the company that provided you with these services.
