ᐅ Adhesive has oozed out between the window panes – is this a defect?

As I said, I don’t have a DSLR with me on the construction site... the wood is white stained on the inside to match the roof structure. I almost wished it was a bit darker so you could tell from a distance that it’s wood. So I’ll let that slide (-;

How exactly can I tell if the seal has been compromised? And how long do you think it takes for the gas to escape—can you notice it right away or only after a few years?

No, it’s not in the floor plan thread and it won’t be, I don’t want to have discussions about floor plans or be told, as above, that I should have done it differently... because if I had known that beforehand, I would have done it that way.

It’s funny, for example, the windows in the utility rooms, like storage rooms, are made of PVC and nobody asked about that... and thanks for the tip above, maybe I just didn’t think of it myself beforehand?

HilfeHilfe seems to be the only one who doesn’t have any problems during construction.

For us everything is going well; we just have occasional questions about this and that. The only thing that didn’t work out was the cooperation with the carpenter.

No, I had some defects here and there too, but kept things in perspective. There are aesthetic defects and serious ones. If you see leftover glue on a small corner under a magnifying glass, that’s just cosmetic. By the way, I also have wood/aluminum windows.

You have to ask yourself why certain materials were used in certain places, for example, PVC windows. I find that a bit odd aesthetically.

You need to ask yourself why certain materials were used—for example, plastic windows. I personally find that visually odd.

What do you mean by “visually odd”?

Well, if it’s just cosmetic, that’s fine by me...

But how am I supposed to know if what Elefant pointed out might actually happen? As you noticed, I’m an early childhood educator, not a window specialist.

There are houses whose floor plans we only know from the foundation slab – and that only in the state before the addition of the so-called "living room," which is basically an above-ground extension without a basement 🙂

Just asking questions and then not showing what you made of it is not very well received :-(

It’s really more about the lighting than the camera model itself. You don’t need a Hasselblad for this. It’s just that with colored snow in partial shade, it doesn’t help much if the megapixels are low.

Hopefully, you can see more in real life than in the photo.

Aperture size times pi times a rough estimate times a full moon – I am not a physicist ;-)

It doesn’t stink, it doesn’t sizzle. You notice it when the humidity condenses. That’s the moment.

Ah, so the garage is considered a living space (occupied by the car)? The distinction will probably be included in the scope of work description.

I’m giving back a little by contributing to threads with questions I have experience with... that should be enough...

Quick update: The window installer has now replaced the pane without any major issues. I don’t think he would have done it if it hadn’t been a defect. So everything is fine now. I was very satisfied with him!
