Good morning friends, I have a question for you. We started building three years ago and have now been living in our brick masonry house for one and a half years.
Everything is actually fine, but we are noticing slight moisture forming on the left and right sides of our 4m (13 feet) lift-and-slide door... However, we can’t figure out what is causing it! It’s not a pipe leak, we have already checked that.
Do you have any ideas? If you need more information, just ask.
Thanks in advance.

Every window must have drainage holes that allow water to drain from the gap between the sash and the frame to the outside. These openings are usually milled into the front part of the frame and covered with caps available in various colors.
There is also the option to drain water through openings drilled in the lower part of the frame—so-called concealed drainage—which works well in combination with an external metal or aluminum window sill with an extended drip edge. This sill is screwed behind the drainage openings with a 5-chamber sill connection.
I have often seen that this is not done correctly.
