Aluminium Window in recent extension bent wont close - gap at top
Hi Everyone..my first post ...thanks for a great forum...thanks for letting me join.
This window issue has really become evident during the recent bad windy wet weather....the wind was howling through room due to the gaps.
This extension (brick veneer) was built about 8 yrs ago ..the window is an aluminium single glazed, single pane slide unit 2metres by 1.6metres approx
Having looked at it...it appears the frame and brick has shifted to the right (standing inside the house standing towards the window looking out)... the right side of the window is near the right corner of the extension.
Im confused as to whats causing this... I cant see any cracking in the brick work nor in the internal plasterboard...etc... but the difference between the top of the frame and the bottom has to be over an inch... window frame seems plumb at the bottom (vertically) but get to half way and it start going to the right... is this an original construction issue...? just poorly built ...or ? will get some daylight pictures uploaded tomorrow ....
any thoughts about this are most appreciated.
