If you suspect window rot within your commercial window system, you must hire a professional contractor to repair commercial window rot, jammed sashes, or any broken window parts. Not all rot can be fixed or removed, especially if it has been there for a long time. In this case, a new window will need to be installed. It is important to find moisture accumulation and water leaks under window frames early on to prevent extensive rot and mold growth within your commercial window systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can I Fix Jammed Window Sashes Myself?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a problematic window that seems to jam when you try to open or close it, try rubbing a white candle on the bottom and the sides of the window. This will allow the frame to slide effortlessly through the window channels. If window sashes are painted shut, simply use a sash saw to cut through the paint. One pass-through should do the trick.

Most often, the old caulk is removed and replaced with fresh caulk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Commercial general contractors usually insist on doing this kind of window repair project when the humidity levels are low, and the outdoor temperature is above 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Also, installing screen and storm windows can increase a commercial property\u2019s insulation, plus it is much cheaper than replacing an entire commercial window system.
