I acquired a UPVC double glazed window that I'm ready to install. I'm curio us to note that there is no drain hole in the frame's exterior, so any wate r that gets into the frame could only exit through the fram-fixing screw ho les. This looks like a no-no to me. Shouldn't every UPVC frame have a drain hole visible at the bottom of the outside, to allow water/moisture to drai n to the outside of the building?
TIA JD

Some do, some don't have apparent holes. I think they depend on water getting out at the screw holes for locks and hinges.

Hmmm... That could explain it - thanks!
