Subject: Bow windows and condensation
Date: 17 Feb 2004 04:33:40 -0800

Greetings all;

We have massive condenstion on both our bow windows.  
Not in any of the bathrooms, not in the kitchen, not on any of the
original awning windows (dating back to the 60's).  The living room
has two windows:  one awning, one bow window.  Condensation affects
ONLY the bow window.

I'm beginning to think that the problem could be due to a defective
installation - or to a poor-quality product.  (We don't know who
installed them, or when.  They were there when we bought the house.)

We have to replace them (the gyproc underneath is beginning to rot). 
Can we have new bow windows put in, or would it be safer to go with
something that does not project out too much from the wall of the
house?

TIA
