Hello everyone
It’s about a solid house built in 2018/19, in which I have plastic windows.
One of them is a two-sided casement window, which connects at the bottom side to a fixed glazing over the entire length.
So at the bottom there is floor-to-ceiling fixed glazing over about 2m and above that 2 x 1m casement windows.
By chance, I just noticed that the fixed glazing seems to be leaking and as if that wasn’t strange enough,
it is also a very weird spot.
The lower frame consists of two parts, so it has a "plastic seam," a joint, whatever, between both parts.
And moisture is coming out of there and it is also somewhat brownish discolored.
I attached a photo.
Now the actual question?
How can something like this be possible?
It is currently dark outside and raining, so I can’t check if there are drainage caps there. But on fixed glazing rather not, right?
Hope you have a hot tip for me.
It hardly seems that anything beneath the laminate has become damp, but of course I want to fix the cause as quickly as possible...
Regards
Enrico
