Hi all

I decided to re silicone the inside of my double glazed window as i
could feel a draught.

I have just noticed that the top of the frame (silicone needs
replacing) pushes outwards by 3-4 mm when i push on it.

This is enough for me to hear the traffic clearer and for a draught to
occur.

I cannot see any fixing screws around the framework and wonder how the
frame is fixed to the brickwork as i need to secure the top.

When i open the window and look into the frame around it, i only see
screws that secure the slides etc. Will these go through to the brick
work?.

Seems a thick one but i honestly never had any need to know until now.

Thanks

Andy

The fixings are normally thru the sides of the frames direct into the
brickwork. Expanding foam and spring clips are also used by some fitters.
