Discussion Board Forum for Vinyl Windows

Fenex, Thank you again for the help. I contacted my dealer and he ordered the replacements, no hassle at all. While I was initially disappointed with the issue, the way the dealer (and Schuco) addressed this concern was excellent! It definitely is reassuring to know that they stand behind their prod...

FenEx, Thank you very much for your help. I am going to contact my installation company again regarding the matter. I don't know if they are going to replace the bottom sashes b/c I pushed for that when they were first installed and they wanted to put a bead of silicone to fill the gap. I just check...

Here are some pics of my issues with Schuco Good(left) and bad(right) window side by side, the right definitely looks bad compared to the left. How does this get past quality control? http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b295/pingisik/1_jpg.jpg Larger image click here: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums...

Guy, Thank you for the additional information. I guess I have a problem with at least 10 of my 20+ installed Schuco windows, though my installation company doesn't seem to think so. You say: "These holes are only there as a safety measure in case water penetrates the sash. This is not where the...

buckey 29,

I detailed the problem earlier:

Had some decent rain recently and most of the windows had no problems. A few took water in as I expected with the situation described above. One window had so much water in it that when I opened it there was a huge puddle on the sill and water still was dripping out of the weep hole. I can't say tha...

The old board had some info on them, check it out:

The glass is wet glazed in with silicone, so there is no place for water to get in. the picture on this link provides a visual of my issue (I realize this isn't a schuco window but still gives a good picture) http://www.milgard.com/_img/getting-started/img-care-and-maintenance-weep.gif I took a wat...

Thank you for your responses. Some of the windows have a clear (silicone???) glob in the corners which just might have pushed the vinyl away from the glass. If it is just a cosmetic problem then I won't worry about it. However, on some windows when the installer slid a credit card along the glass an...

I am having Schuco windows put in my home and some are already complete. I have a question for the experts and anyone else that has Schuco windows: When I tilt the window sash in and look at the bottom seam where the glass meets the vinyl, there are gaps in the corners of many of my windows between ...
