    Leaking French doors

    I've got some updates from yesterday. A different engineer was sent by the manufacturer, who was much more thorough than the other two. To be honest, he did more in an hour than the other two in a year… Ranting aside, here are the updates: 1) We can't drill additional holes in the middle...

    Leaking French doors

    I did some water tests. First, I poured a reasonable amount of water on the yellowed area. It moved sideways a bit first as expected, but then it quickly found the drain hole, which functions well (photo attached). As long as I only poured water in the yellowed area, everything was fine -- the...

    Leaking French doors

    Photos attached as promised. There are two drain holes in each door. It seems to me that water from these drain holes should drip into the outer part of the fixed profile. I also noticed a little hole underneath the top latches. It looks like a drain hole, allowing potential water in the top...

    UPVC French Doors - Leaking Internally

    Hi David, I'm having the EXACT same problem. Like literally, I am in a flat, on the 3rd floor, south facing with French doors and a Parisian balcony. Except mine is a year old. The leak is exactly in the same place as yours. Rainwater accumulates in the bottom left corner of the door frame...
