Hi all,
Hopefully a fairly simple one!
Had some new Rehau uPVC tilt and turn double glazed windows installed but there appears to be a reasonable draft coming from the hinges.
I've attached photos of both the window from the interior, and a view of the hinges. It appears to me to be the case that the hinge goes over the seal and this is where the draft comes from - right where the hinge comes in to the property.
Below are some pictures; firstly of the internal window, then of where the draft appears to be coming through to the hinge and then of the hinge cover! I also attach a picture showing the side of the window.
Any help would be massively appreciated as the flat gets rather cold (although less cold than single glazing which it replaced!) but still it shouldn't be this drafty!
Thanks,
Kris

And finally the side of the window:
