Dear forum members,
Because of my problem with the new windows, I thought I could reach out to you here.
RAL 7016 on the outside, white on the inside, RAL 7016 aluminum cassette roller shutters, with the rail screwed directly onto the windows.
As soon as the sun comes out, the windows on the south side start to creak, and the same happens in the evening when it gets cold.
The internet is full of people with the same problem; I find posts, some years old, but no solution.
Does anyone here know anything about this issue? It’s truly annoying.
I would appreciate any suggestions for solutions, or reports from those who had the same issue and found a way to fix it.

Avoid temperature fluctuations... use a different color... are you serious or being ironic?
Something that compensates for temperature-related expansion and contraction wasn’t installed properly, but I have no idea what.
What quality are the windows? Could it also be coming from the window sill? Are you serious about your post?? Really? Have you never stood barefoot on dark terrace wood in summer? Dark materials of any kind do expand and contract.
I absolutely mean that seriously! Really!
Of course, dark-colored surfaces do heat up more; I have never denied that. But there are systems designed to compensate for this.
Or do you think any salesperson would say, "You can choose the dark color, but then it’s totally normal for it to crack"?
A bit more self-awareness, please, and refrain from commenting when you genuinely don’t know anything about a topic!
My windows are RAL 7016 and they don’t crack, and I live in Germany, Planet Earth.

Where do you live? Do you get a lot of sunlight?

Adnil26024 Feb 2021 09:28Has the issue with the creaking windows been resolved by now? Unfortunately, we have the same problem, and the window manufacturer claims to have never heard of it. I would be interested to know if it has been fixed and, if so, how.
Hello adnil,
Over time, it has somewhat improved. There is still some creaking at two or three windows when it is really cold and the sun comes out, but maybe you just get used to it over time.
I have talked to many people about this issue, and a lot of them have the same problem.
I had a surveyor visit for a different matter; he is also familiar with windows and told me that there is basically nothing you can do about it. The windows expand and contract, and they must move like that.
Darkening the window surfaces, as some here have suggested, might be helpful but is naturally not feasible. How could it be? The house is fully renovated, so I’m not going to install external roller shutters at this point.
Tell me, what exactly is your problem?
