Hello everyone,
We are currently building our house and would like to ask for your advice.
Right now, the windows are being installed, and we noticed that the frame sizes on the left and right sides are not the same. On the right side, the depth is 13.5 cm (5.3 inches), while on the left side it is 14.5 cm (5.7 inches). Although everything is level, it makes me a bit concerned why the installer didn’t ensure that both sides have the same depth during installation.
Window installer’s statement: everything is fine, within tolerance.
Architect’s statement: everything is fine.
Please don’t get me wrong—although we are talking about millimeters, I am the one paying for everything and therefore expect everything to be done 100 percent correctly.
So my question is: Is this still acceptable within tolerances, or should I be concerned in the future?
Thank you very much
