Gaskets

[Mr Blobby]

In a few places on the large windows glazed on site, the external gaskets are below the beads. 

 

Like this:

 

These little ponds are usually full of dirt and water. 

 

Window fitters here lunchtime to run through my snagging list.

Should i add this to the list and insist the gaskets are properly seated?

 

Fitters are going to be reluctant because it will take a team of weightlifters to lift the glass.

We had this on a large fixed pane. The fitters took out the pane, re did the gaskets, and reglazed.

[Mr Blobby]

Another thing that's weird, is all our internorm fixed pane windows have a gasket between bead and glass, like this

 

 

But one window has no gasket, which doesn't seem to cause any problems but seems a bit odd. Like this...

 

 

I'll ask the window fitter when he arrives if this is by design 🤷

 

Anyone else have this feature?

It should be dry sealed (gasket) or wet sealed (silicone) depending on system. Add to snag list.
