Just watched your you tube clip, where is the drainage slots on the opening sash, front or back..You may think thats a silly question but you never know. if the drainage is at the back of the sash that is where your problem is..just check strange things happen :)

The Double Glazing forum welcomes useful questions and input from all members of the double glazing community, both people in the trade and homeowners.
However, following the lead of other members of the double glazing community, we have taken the decision to remove this post, as we have been informed that there is on-going legal action, which we do not want to become involved with (please see house rules 5 - Don't Get Us In Trouble)
In addition, due to the legal action, Anglian are unable to reply in a public forum which, in our opinion, distorts the balance of discussion.

ok this may sound silly and i am sure someone will put me right....but..if the sealing gasket is set halfway in the sash how does the frame get any rating but d or e , surely if the air is getting into the frame via the sash to where it meets the first rubber seal this is bypassing the glass. At least with a normal upvc sash where the seal is on the outside of the sash i.e it closes onto the frame it is making a air tight seal. So the first seal on your windows is just a flappy piece of rubber that does not close firmly against anything...no wonder it gets cold on the inside...anyway what do i know , i am sure the designers checked all this XD

Thats exactly what I was thinking, and couple that with water getting in there and frezing up....
Im guessing they somehow get by on u values because they are tested in a box with no wind or rain?
Do the job right the first time!
