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.

The issue is directly related to the bedroom window. As soon as the sun rises, the noise starts. I understand that materials expand and contract, but being that loud does not seem normal to me. For that reason, we have been trying to find the cause with the installer for a year now. Screws in, screws out, silicone applied, and so on. Unfortunately, nothing has changed. After coming across forums during my research where this problem is not uncommon, I was hoping for a practical suggestion to finally put an end to this madness.

It seems to be really bad for you. It bothered me a lot too, but by now I don’t even notice it anymore. I don’t want to justify it, but that’s just how it is.
I’m also fed up with the window installer who doesn’t know what he’s doing and keeps trying new things that don’t make any difference.

Nice-Nofret4 Feb 2021 18:02All materials respond to temperature and humidity; when they behave differently, you get a kind of 'compensating creak' – we have that too. When windows are fitted quite tightly, the effect is more pronounced.
In older houses, no one was surprised that a house would occasionally make noises.

That's true.
I have also completely renovated an old house, but I have to say that it would be helpful if the window manufacturer mentioned the possibility of this happening. That way, I can still consider other materials, such as wood.
Then you don't have to be upset later on; there is some truth to it, right?

Adnil26024 Feb 2021 18:10It is true that materials expand and contract. But it can’t be so loud that it disrupts your sleep... There must be a way to minimize it somehow... If this noise level is normal for this type of windows, I wonder who manufactures them and who would willingly have them installed. A prior warning would certainly have been fair.
