I have bought a house which has old (externally glazed!) upvc double glazed windows in the bays.
Two of the five windows of the bay can open. They have side hinges. There is a large gap (0.5cm - you can see sky through it!) at the top of the opening window on the opposite side to the hinges. The opening window seems to be on an angle to the window frame.
The side of the window with the hinges does not seem to be pulled in 'snuggly' to the window frame when it is shut either.
It is present on both the left and right window (but is much worse on the left).
These obviously cause big noise/draught problems.
Should I be thinking of replacing/adjusting hinges or is it the window frame that is warped?
Thansk for any help
