Title: Why Pacific Northwest Rain Is Harder on Your Windows Than You Think
It’s no secret—the Pacific Northwest gets its share of rain. But constant moisture is only part of the challenge.
PNW Window Issues:
- Heavy rainfall seeps into aging seals, causing leaks.
- Persistent humidity fosters mold growth in frames.
- Salt air in coastal areas corrodes hinges and locks.
- Occasional windstorms push water past old seals.
Windows Built for the PNW:
- Advanced weatherproof seals.
- Rot-resistant frames made from fiberglass or vinyl.
- Low-E coatings for sunny summer days.
- Styles that complement craftsman and contemporary designs.
Replacing leaky windows now prevents costly water damage and mold remediation later. Free, no-obligation inspections are available from certified local installers.
