    Is weatherstrip a standard requirement for wooden windows

    Well with the circumstances you have described it does sound rather tricky to get it perfect. The only other thing would be to post some pics here and get people's thoughts or have another company come out and give you a second opinion.

    How do you measure a curved shower door replacement?
