Hello everyone,

we moved into our new house in January of this year. In the living-dining area, we have large two-leaf windows. One of these windows does not close properly in the area shown in the attached drawing. You can feel a distinct draft, and when our children play outside, you can clearly hear them. When I press the window against the frame, the voices are much less audible.

The corresponding measurements, etc., are also shown in the drawing.

The other two windows close properly, so I wanted to ask how or what I need to adjust to make this window close properly as well?

Thank you very much in advance.

Regards

Moved in January? I would contact the developer/tradesman (depending on how you built) directly - to fix the defect...

Hello,

I can only agree with Cascada - to have the executing craftsman check the adjustment.

As a layman, I would guess that in the marked area one of the locking pins is not functioning correctly.

Have you already checked with the door open whether all the locking pins move?

Regards,

Dirk

Hello,


You should not fiddle with the handles; adjustment screws etc. under any circumstances. Call the window manufacturer or, if you have commissioned a general contractor with the house construction, then contact them and request an on-site appointment or further adjustment of the affected window sash.

It reads like a simple adjustment matter. BUT - not every window can be adjusted equally at all points of the frame; the question is even whether you have the appropriate "key". In this respect, and also because the window trade is still under warranty, a professional should handle it.

Best regards from the Rhineland
