Rotten Window Sash on wood casement window repaired in Fort Lauderdale. Weather Shield is a premium high end brand for hurricane impact windows and doors. The beauty of these products is the design of having the exterior of aluminum with a durable exterior paint. On the interior, you have wood frames and window sash panel surfaces that can be of several wood species and wood finishes. These windows perform very well and last a long time if serviced on a regular basis. This casement window sash shows signs that it was out of adjustment and therefore did not seat against the weather stripping properly. Water that was supposed to weep out an evacuate, was trapped longer that it should have been causing the rotten window sash to decay. The casement hinge was also out of adjustment causing the sash to drag at the bottom on the frame. This could have been noticed and repaired easily before it got to this point. Weather Shield recommends to have our windows and doors serviced at least once a year by a Weather Shield service provider. We removed all the rotten wood and installed new wood that e custom made onsite.

If it is a casement window, it is either out of adjustment or the casement operator needs to be replaced. Either way, we can fix it usually during a service call.
Most likely it is. You can poke around with a ball point pen and see how far it goes into the wood. If it goes in easily, you have rotten wood that should be addressed.
Absolutely not. If the damage is just rotten wood, we can repair it “good as new” and save you a considerable amount of money
