Is this normal behaviour for glass windows, and was I just being a numpty - or could I argue a manufacturing defect with the glass provider?]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=8478&Focus=131846#Comment_131846 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=8478&Focus=131846#Comment_131846 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 10:15:47 +0000 Joiner It isn't normal for a d/g unit to have a piece of black plastic taped over it, so hardly surprising that its behaviour wasn't normal.

That said, it's always worth a punt to get the unit exchanged, depends on how long it's been in there. They may, however, play the standard card and counter-claim that the breakdown was caused by faulty fitting, effectively putting the onus on you to prove otherwise.

Like I said, worth a punt. Nothing to lose. Just don't tell them what you did! ]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=8478&Focus=131848#Comment_131848 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=8478&Focus=131848#Comment_131848 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 10:17:04 +0000 Joiner ]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=8478&Focus=131853#Comment_131853 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=8478&Focus=131853#Comment_131853 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 10:42:58 +0000 stephendv Posted By: Joinerhttp:///forum114/extensions/Vanillacons/smilies/standard/smile.gif" alt="" title="" >It isn't normal for a d/g unit to have a piece of black plastic taped over it, so hardly surprising that its behaviour wasn't normal.

The punk-squat-chiq aesthetic will be all the rage this year
Unfortunately, I've already told them exactly what I did and they (the window company) said they were going to contact the glass company...]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=8478&Focus=131857#Comment_131857 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=8478&Focus=131857#Comment_131857 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 10:50:05 +0000 Joiner

That's a pity. Watch that space then.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=8478&Focus=131891#Comment_131891 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=8478&Focus=131891#Comment_131891 Wed, 25 Jan 2012 13:31:24 +0000 skyewright
In good morning sunshine that was seeing over 70C (the sensor can't read higher than that). The experiment was terminated when it dawned on me that it might not be a good idea to have something that hot against a d/g unit...
