mismeasured Marvin window replacements?
I ordered an expensive stack of double hung tilt-pack Marvin windows to replace my leaky aging windows. These were measured by the local supplier and one size was found to fit most of the windows on my first floor. This weekend I tried installing the windows and found that they appeared to be slightly too large - both the vinyl jamb liner was too long for the frame and the top and bottom sash pairs were made too big. I only did one room and was able to get around the jamb liner being too large by carving out a little of the top of the window frame in an invisible area but the windows themselves are still slightly too large and the locking mechanisms don't line up. Anyone had this problem and know what my options are for going back to the supplier? It seems the vinyl jamb liner and top sash could be cut to fix the problem but I don't think I should have to do it. |
