Problem category
Observable air movement, surface-temperature, room-comfort, and sunlight concerns that may involve the window, installation perimeter, shading, or other parts of the home.

A draft near a window can come from the operable sash, weather seals, perimeter between the unit and opening, adjacent trim, or another air path. Observe when and where it occurs, then ask for an assessment that separates a limited repair from broader replacement scope.

Discomfort near a window can involve surface temperature, solar heat gain, air leakage, shading, room air movement, or other building and equipment factors. Compare the timing and location first; product ratings alone do not diagnose the home.
ExplorePlanning
Fading can involve ultraviolet exposure, visible light, heat, material sensitivity, and exposure time. Window coatings and other controls may reduce parts of that exposure, but no window should be described as providing absolute fade protection.
