Topic: Window Resealing after an Earthquake Posted: 29.Jun.2018 at 04:00 |
Since it's Friday, let's talk about something besides Autodesk technology. In 2015 we replaced all of the windows in our home. In addition to reducing our energy costs, the circular window in our family room leaked, and we wanted to remedy that. We have been very happy with our new windows. At the end of 2017, our energy costs were 51% of what they once were. So imagine our surprise when my wife recently cleaned the windows, and she discovered that that same window had a leak. When I inspected the window I saw: We know the window was not in that condition when the installers completed the job in 2015. In fact, here's a picture from 2016: The trim used to be fully contiguous and completely sealed. So what happened? Our best guess is: As far as earthquake damage goes, this is a trivial matter and is easily fixable.
The problem has been corrected, but it is sobering to know that even the smallest of earthquakes has enough force to jostle a house such that the window framing can become misshapen. Resealing is alive in the lab. Go to the original post... |
