When closed, there's very little overlap between the frame and the window frame lip for the bubble gasket to form a seal on.
I've taken some measurements and about 6mm overlap on the outside and about 5mm on the inside.
When closed I can see daylight on the hinge side. I was going to redrill and move the glazing frame over a bit but I have no 'spare' on the lock side.
Is it acceptable practise to get wider gasket which obviously would be proud of the frames?
The windows originally installed when the house was built 2003/04 had flipper gasket but when I replaced some glazing units, I replaced the gasket with bubble type.
