Hi all,
Here is something else I noticed recently that is a bit strange with our windows. We've noticed water both pooling on the bottom section of the window frame (external) and also as you open the awning sash water dripping from the corners.
Anyhow after looking more closely at these window's specifications, I think I may have found the issue. But I want to see first see if anyone else can spot it.....and if the setup in terms of seals etc on our windows is a problem or not?
I think these windows actually have a few issues, and from the next few images I can see possibly 2-3 problems? Keen to get some feedback if anyone has ideas or general comments?
So here is a vertical profile of the window specs. Drainage slots are shaded blue and I have also highlighted the frame rubber seal, that the awning sash closes onto.Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅
This is an external photo of the bottom right corner of one of the awning sash's.Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ This image is one of our windows. This is taken inside, and you can see the gaps that we typically have on the outside rubber seal b/w the frame and glass.Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅
This is pic of the rubber seal on the window frame that the sash clamps down on when you wind it in closed.Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅
This next image is NOT one of our windows. It is the same type but from the showroom of a different fabricator (same window system manufacturer though).
This is looking external, from beneath the awning sash with it slightly opened. The arrows indicate the seals and also below that you can see a drainage slot.Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ This image is of the same 'sample' window from a different fabricator. This is looking from inside, as the lower left corner of the awning sash with it opened slightly. Red arrows point to a rubber seal. Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅
