Good morning everyone,

a quick question for the home builders with more experience.

Our house is basically finished, only the defect rectification on the windows is still outstanding.

One defect, about which I am still undecided with the window fitter, concerns the peeling paint on the corners of the window sashes (I have attached a picture for this).

Our windows are foiled and the edges of the profiles are welded and colored.
Due to the rubber seal on the window frame, the coloring is peeling off in the corners.

The window frames are made directly by the window fitter himself. According to him, this is not a defect, but rather normal deviations in the production process which can be fixed with a paint marker, and that this procedure has been agreed with the company Weka.

I asked my window fitter if this (if these are deviations in the normal production process) is basically the same problem with all window fitters. His answer was that there are production-specific deviations in their company.

Do you know such problems? And is this an actual defect? Or am I just being too picky?

Best regards
Crimson

And that's why you make a post? Kindly ask if the window maker would graciously order the paint pen for you for free and that's that.

P.S. Good morning

Sorry, that got a bit overlooked.

He is giving me the touch-up pen for free, that was also a given on his part.
I'm only concerned about whether it will hold permanently. The windows have been installed since summer 2018 and were not regularly opened during the construction phase (meaning: the paint cannot have come off due to frequent movements).
If you have to touch up all 4 corners of the windows every six months because the paint is coming off, that is more than annoying.

a bit naive... of course something like that can fade sometimes. So if you see it, touch it up.

like whether you'll see every scratch everywhere in 2 years

normal wear and tear to me
