Quality of newly installed wooden sash widows?

[xrysanthos.d]

Hi all, I had my front bay windows (uPVC) replaced with new wooden sash windows but after looking closely at the windows, I am now worried that the quality of the assembly is inferior to what I have paid for. It is a local company that they acknowledged the issue and they are willing to rectify. Could they actually rectify these defects or they will just cover them up and eventually will lead to issues in the future? Any advice on how to handle this will be more than welcome!

Seems like a backward step , unless you like a nice breeze thru your windows .?

Maybe I should have done a better research but I had the impression that if the sealing and the alignment is great there are comparable due to the same glass.

Was it a joinery company or a timber window company?

Looks like however they have made the joint has split the rail. Send the pictures to the MD at the company and ask if he is happy with this because you are not. They have a nice website. I suspect they won't want those pix against their name. Edit your post to remove it for now, and tell them you will post it if they don't rectify. A joint with a gap like that will not last.

@mrrusty how do you even rectify this? If they attempt to sand it and put filler I will be really disappointed. Should they ideally remove them and reassemble it? My carpentry skills are not that great.
