Changing doors and windows in Malaysia may seem simple, but there are actually many hidden pitfalls. Many homeowners only discover water leakage, loud noise, inability to move, and even inability to find after-sales service after installation is completed. Here are the 7 most common door and window pitfalls. Understanding them in advance can help you save a lot of unnecessary money.
1、 Only consider the price, not the configuration
The same “aluminum alloy doors and windows” may have completely different configurations:
Profile thickness
Glass type
hardware system
Low prices often mean shrinkage.

high humidity

Common errors include:
Install sliding windows in air-conditioned rooms
Small space with large open window

Selection is more important than brand.
5、 Hardware system ignored
