Which of the following is NOT a common problem with doors and windows?

  1. Rot

  2. Condensation between panes

  3. Storage space issues

  4. Caulking and flashing problems

The correct answer is: Storage space issues

Storage space issues are not typically associated with doors and windows in terms of their functionality or normal wear and tear. The primary concerns related to doors and windows focus on how they operate, their sealing against environmental factors, and their overall integrity. Rot can occur in wooden doors and window frames due to prolonged exposure to moisture, leading to deterioration. Condensation between panes is a common problem in double-glazed windows, indicating a failure of the seal that can affect thermal performance. Caulking and flashing problems are also prevalent, as improper installation or wear and tear can result in leaks, drafts, and energy inefficiency. By recognizing that storage space issues are unrelated to the structural and functional challenges posed by doors and windows, it becomes clear why this option stands out as the answer to the question.
