New aluminium door

[sdf]

Hi

I've just had an aluminium bifold door install and on removing the window packers all 4 panes of glass move and you can feel air coming through. There are 4 metal bars holding each window in place. should there be a gasket between the windows and the metal frames holding them in place or do the panes get siliconed in?

Also, each double glazed unit has a small plastic hole. On the bifolds this hole is at the top of the pane whereas on other windows I've had installed they are at the bottom. Does it matter if the hole is at the top or the bottom of the pane?

Thanks for any help

Where have you removed the packers from, can you post a photo?

If the plastic hole you talk about is inside the cavity of the glass unit then it's likely to be the vent they use to fill the cavity with argon gas or similar, the hole is sealed over afterwards when sealing the unit together, however give it 3 years and all the argon would of leaked out anyway.

As far as I'm aware it makes no difference where the holes are but for aesthetics and professionalism it always looks good to have them uniform
