hello,
last spring we had all our windows replaced with new upvc windows. over the last couple of months all of the windows's main frames have bent outwards in each corner, in some cases opening a gap of 3mm (the larger windows are warping more than the smaller ones). I guess that the outside of the window is maybe shrinking in the cold. This has led to some openings not sealing properly on the hinge side, as the top and bottom of the frame are bending out. All the windows are like it to varying degrees, all all sides of the house.
The people of the window company came and had a look, admitted there was a problem, and are sending someone round to fix it. they want to fill the gaps and force the windows to seal but adjustment. is this the correct solution or is there a fundamental problem with the windows?
cheers,
Ivesy.
