Aluminum Window Frames are exposed to sunlight, rain, storms, and other environmental factors. Over time, the window frame may deteriorate, leading to leaks when it rains.

Recently, many areas have been experiencing heavy rainfall, with strong winds and rain together. During heavy rainfall, many homes face the problem of water seeping through the window frame, allowing water to flow into the house. The issue of water seepage around window frames can arise from several causes. For example, rainwater may directly hit the window frame, which does not seal tightly against the cement, creating gaps where water can seep in. Additionally, some window frames may lack awnings or protective trims, allowing water to flow from the upper walls. Water seepage can also occur if the window frame is poorly installed, leaving gaps through which water can enter. If the frame is made of wood, it may shrink over time.

So, let’s look at an easy DIY solution to fix window frame water leakage. One method is to apply silicone sealant. Start by cleaning the window frame or the area around the window. Then, apply the silicone to seal the gaps where the water is leaking. When choosing silicone, select a color that matches the window frame or the color of your house. Make sure to apply the silicone on the outside of the house. Remember, do not use acrylic sealant as it is not as durable as silicone. Silicone can withstand heat better and is more resistant to vibrations and changes in temperature. Also, opt for silicone specifically designed for sealing joints, as it is more moisture-resistant than other materials. For even better durability, you can choose sealant designed for use on windows. This way, you can use the silicone to seal other areas in your home as well.
