76 - Window Weeps - Why do they make Pete so sad?
from UnBuild It Podcast Hosted by Unbuild It Podcast
Window weeps are the drainage system for the Insulated Glazing Unit (IGU), protecting the vulnerable seals that sit at the bottom of the IGU. Do all windows have them/need them? Are they meant to handle interior condensation as well as exterior leaks? Should they drain to the face of the frame (visible) or to the bottom of the window frame (hidden)? Pete remains sad, curious, and even a bit disgruntled at how little our industry seems to address, systematically, window weep systems. Pete's Resource: Stay Tuned! Weigh In! We are counting on our listeners to help us learn more about this topic. Be ye builder, architect, window manufacturer, or carpenter--set us straight if you know more than we do about weeps!
