Window warping occurs because of changes in temperature. The increase in heat and humidity will deform the windows and cause them to warp. Why does this happen? In this post, Renewal by Andersen® of Sacramento explains why window warping occurs and how to prevent it.

What Is Window Warping?

Warping is a type of damage that can happen to windows when they’re exposed to extreme changes in temperature and humidity. Warping can cause the window frame to bend or the glass to crack. In severe cases, warped windows may no longer be able to open and close properly. For instance, deformed awnings and casement windows may creak or not even move when operated.
