Vinyl windows are marketed as sturdy windows with a long life span. Even so, they still have their drawbacks, one of which involves their propensity to warping. Renewal by Andersen® of New Jersey explains everything you need to know about this particular window problem.
Vinyl windows warp because of two reasons: mishandling of windows and excessive heat. As outdoor temperatures rise during the summer, the framing material on the outside part of your window starts to heat up. Combine this with the tightening of windows that are closed shut, and you end up with a soft and malleable vinyl. The pressure from the locking mechanisms causes the frames to bend inward. Later on, when outdoor temperatures start dropping, the vinyl cools down and hardens. You’ll soon notice that the affected frames bow in the middle, creating unsightly gaps. And they will stay that way.
Window repairs may suffice, but they are temporary fixes, which means you’ll likely have to replace your warped windows eventually.
