I got new uPVC tilt and turns installed and after the bit of rain we had this morning, there's still some water in the sash and frame. Can someone tell me if this is normal or going to be an issue?
Water seems to be collecting inside the sash and when I open the window, the momentum sloshing the water makes it come streaming out the weep hole and onto my floor. It was still dripping steadily by the time I got my phone and opened the camera app for a pic. The window sash is level and pretty big (1200 W x 1800 H) and there's only 2 weep holes, about a third of the way in from each corner. Is this unavoidable?
Water is also gathering in the frame. They've screwed the frame directly into the box, which I assume is normal, but wouldn't water just wick down the screw and eventually rot the window box?
My old windows had a raised lip in the middle to separate the water from the screws and keeps. These Rehau frames seem to have a tiny lip that isn't high enough to keep the water separated.
