|
I live in a mainly South facing house and sleep in the upstairs, front facing bedroom. - When we have strong winds the (double glazed) bay window often makes noises, noises not dissimilar to that of if you were to push the window forward with you hands! - What can I do to reduce / stop the noise? - I notice that the sealing round about the outside of the window is looking a little shabby.. Thanks. |

it could be that the sealant around the window's edge is split, thus causing a phenomenon called 'reeding'. this happens often and is remedied by re-sealing the window with a good quality silicone sealant, i.e. dow corning. |
