Hello:
Have just had a few Andersen Series 400 double hung tilt-wash Woodwright replacement windows installed.
As far as I could tell by watching, the Contractor "seemed" to do a quite good job installing them. Lots of care caulking, etc.
However, there is still a breeze coming thru on all of them, somewhere, around them.
Just about impossible to tell exactly from where, though.
Was wondering:
- have any of you folks had similar problems like this ?
- e.g., might it be due to the fact that there is a distinct gap where the bottom window fits into its frame (I'm not sure of the exact terminology), undoubtedly to allow the window to easily tilt without scraping. All the windows like this that I've seen at HD also have this gap.
However, there seems to be a good "baffle" and some kind of labyrinth vinyl weatherstripping behind the gap.
Am asking, as I'd sure like to learn what might be the problem, any similar history of this kind of thing happening, etc., prior to calling the contractor back and making a big fuss.
Any thoughts on would be most appreciated.
Thanks, Bob
