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.

My point
See the previous answer

Notes
Change your mind
Color or material, and the paint job is done

But no
The main thing is it’s sold and installed

We still have older wooden windows in the living room. They sometimes creak with large temperature changes. These are on the east side. One floor above, we have composite windows with a plastic-aluminum frame and an anthracite exterior, and they have never creaked. Based on this, I can’t confirm that the color is the cause.

The wooden windows are double-glazed, while the plastic-aluminum ones are triple-glazed... maybe that also makes a difference.

Up in the attic, the roof structure also tends to creak occasionally in autumn and spring, which is completely normal.
