The window is cracked, and there is no one to make claims. I'm talking about the unpleasant nuances of DIY window installation.

When you put up windows with your own hands, you save on installation. But at the same time, there are risks of getting other, additional costs ...

Friends, greetings to all! Building a house with your own hands is not only a way to save money for me. Without sincere interest and desire to come to your construction site almost every day, you won't go far.

But there are nuances that I initially did not think about.

✅ Window installation is one of the prime examples.

I installed them almost a year ago, and it didn't pose much of a problem. Of course there were some difficulties, but everything was solvable.

By the way, at the end of the article there will be a detailed video about how I mounted windows with my own hands. Be sure to take a look.

But at the same time, I understood that I was taking on possible risks.

Do not be alarmed, this window did not crack in my house, but in my mother's apartment, where I now live. It goes from the bottom corner to the top.

It happened recently, but, interestingly, it happened three or four years later, after the installation. Although the installation was done by the company, all guarantees have already passed, and there is no one to present ...

But here I started thinking about the windows in my house.

If the glass unit is cracked after several seasons, then this is most likely not an installation error, but a defect in the glass itself.

It turns out that it can also crack a few months after installation. And if you put everything with your own hands, you still cannot prove that this is a factory defect (and you did not violate the installation technology).

✅Thus, if you take on the work yourself, then you also take on all the risks ...

And here is a video about installing my windows:

Friends, as always, I look forward to useful advice from you in the comments. Maybe somehow you can protect yourself from factory defects in my case?
