Common issues include thermal bridges, poor sealing between the wall and the frame, and incorrectly applied insulation foam. These problems become especially noticeable during cold weather.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4264\" data-end=\"4549\"><strong data-start=\"4264\" data-end=\"4287\">Unadjusted hardware<\/strong><br data-start=\"4287\" data-end=\"4290\" \/>New windows require professional adjustment after installation. If the sash does not press tightly against the frame, cold air can enter the room. Many people are unaware that windows have seasonal adjustment settings designed to improve insulation in winter.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4551\" data-end=\"4799\"><strong data-start=\"4551\" data-end=\"4587\">Wrong glass unit for the climate<\/strong><br data-start=\"4587\" data-end=\"4590\" \/>Sometimes the issue lies in the choice of glazing. A glass unit with insufficient thermal performance may not be suitable for Estonia\u2019s cold winters, leading to heat loss even if the window is technically new.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4801\" data-end=\"4978\"><strong data-start=\"4801\" data-end=\"4838\">Damaged or poorly installed seals<\/strong><br data-start=\"4838\" data-end=\"4841\" \/>Seals can be damaged during transport or installed incorrectly.
