Hi all
we have just purchased a house and moved in a couple of months ago. I have noticed a few things with a few of the windows:
- They are ALL side hung
- Some of them "stick" when opening
- Some of them crack/creak when closing them
- Some of them you have to give them a good pull and they shut with a "snap" sound
- Many of them are letting sound in at the corners and edges
- A couple of windows aren't sitting flush against the rubber seal when closed, I can see a slight gap
The rubber seals don't look damaged or crumbly/rotten, so I'm not entirely convinced it's these.
Could it be the hinges?
Any advice or things to look for would be very much appreciated. I've attached pictures of what the hinges and edges typically look like on a few windows.
Thank you in advance!
