I have just had Residence 9 windows installed.
Not sure if the bay is quite right. Should there be silicone here? (Please see pictures).

I can be picky sometimes and I've noticed the cill weld on picture 1 and 3 doesn't line up with the centre flute on the baypole cover moulding, both a mirror image of each other so like the centre section is too narrow or is further forward than the side wings

Thanks for the helpful info. One other question-what gap should there be between the bottom of the frame and the cill-I assume Residence 9 would specify what the gap should be? Is there a minimum and maximum measurement?
 
The gap isn't specified as such but is achieved by an upstand on the cill leaving a uniform gap all the way along assuming the window is sat right down on the cill all the way along
 
Thanks.
Gap is about 0.9cm on all windows.
Photos attached.

Thanks-pleased to see that the gap is acceptable.
I have now inspected the inside of all of the windows. There appears to be a lot of minor damage to frames etc. Pictures attached.
A lot of the UPVC covering the Georgian Bars is badly cut.
I had hoped that R9, sold to me as a premium product, would be better than this.
I will be inspecting outside when the weather improves.

This morning I heard a bang. This is what I found...
I now have no confidence in these windows at all.
Can I get Residence 9 out to perform an inspection of the installation?

Nothing to do with residence. Glass would have been from others.
 
Agree entirely. I was thinking more of the original designers of the R9 window probably being the best people to ask about whether the windows were correctly manufactured and installed.
 
My failed sealed unit has been inspected and replacement authorised.
My windows are glass bonded but the installer claims that they can put a new sealed unit into the existing frame.
Is that right?
 
Can anyone tell me if the fixed casements are adjustable? Some of mine are not flush with the frame.
