I had some replacement double glazed windows and frames fitted last year by the same builder who built and fitted the windows in our new extension.
The windows in the extension are fine but we're encountering problems with the replacement windows in the original part of the house.
The problem has been there since fitting but since the winds arrived within the last week or so it's been more apparent.
This is the style of window we have
Notice the green arrow? It's pointing towards a gap of around 1 - 2mm in places on the hinged side of the window
The wind seems to be breaking through the outer seal and as the inner seal falls short of the frame it's making all sorts of noises to a degree where both the wife and myself didn't sleep at all last night.
My guess would be that the frames were a very tight fit which caused the edges to twist slightly.
Can any window fitters / makers confirm that it shouldn't be like this?
I called the builder last Monday but he's still yet to come and have a look.
He was FENSA registered if that helps?
Thanks for any advice.
