Repairing Rattling Sliding Windows

What happens if you open or close your sliding windows? Do they rattle? Do they sound like stones being thrown on your roof? Do you think twice about opening your windows because of the annoying sound it makes?

If you’ve had it with the annoying struggle that you have to go through just to open or close your sliding windows, do not immediately think that you need to get them replaced.

Many people will mistakenly conclude that window replacement is the answer to their prayers (well, their window fixing prayers to be precise). This error in judgement is the reason why many complain that they spend too much on their sliding windows alone. Take better judgement in looking at what is really the problem regarding your windows; who knows, a simple repair job is just what they need.

What are the causes of rattling sliding windows?

The rattling sound your windows make whenever you open or close them is due to worn out weather felts and/or damaged rollers. Sometimes there is an even more annoying sound that your windows make because parts are damaged (think nails on a chalkboard).

These parts can easily be purchased by going to your local hardware store. However, installing them onto your windows is another story.

How to go about installing window felts and rollers?

If you plan on doing this task as a DIY kind of job, then you should know that you’re going to work your cut out for it. In most cases, you have to take a large portion, or even the whole window out of its frame to install the parts. Not being careful about the process might leave you with errors (and more headaches).

If you do not want to risk botching up the whole ordeal, the better option to take is to acquire professional services. Sliding window repair services, like the guys at Window Revival offer, are a more preferable option when taking on this task as compared to doing it DIY.
