Hello,
Have any of you had problems with Pella windows rotting out on the bottoms? I built my home 8 years ago and currently have 5 casement windows and 3 stationary portions of slider that are rotted out because of exterior water leaks and must be replaced.. My 4′ by 4′ picture window was replaced 2 years ago for the same problem. It appears the cladding came loose on the bottom and let water run into the finger jointed wood that supports the window. You can imagine what happened. These windows come with a 2 year warranty. Pella has offered me a discount for the replacements of the worthless windows. These are not Prolines, these are the best windows Pella offered in 1995. Even the service department says the windows were properly finished on the inside. Please, any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I am sorry I put them in my new home.
Jack
