I meant MW windows!

I had contacted MW about the clouding issues (moisture in between the panes)and they readily admitted that the window should be replaced and that it was a warranty issue. They said send the dimensions and they would send a replacement right away. I told them I didn't feel qualified to measure windows and install them myself. I was told that there were no sales reps in the area, but they could recommend an installer in the eastern part of the state.
Deltec picked up on the postings on this site and called me asking what the problem was. I explained, gave them the details of the window from the construction plans, and they said that they would be in contact with MW.
True to their word, a few weeks later, I got a call from MW that a replacementwindow had been shipped and someone would be contacting me to install it. I received a call from their sales rep ( who is in our area), we arranged a Saturday for installation, and on 5/19 the widow wasa replaced in about 30 minutes. Everything fit with the right beading, etc.
Will this window be any better than the one it replaced? I would like to think so, but in any event I have Deltec on my side.

I can tell you firsthand that the replacement panes MW provided me did the same exact thing ... MW Windows are worthless!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have not noticed any problems in 3 years except in winter, the air blows in on the sides where they come together. These vinyl double hung appear not to be leaking water,(how do I know for sure?), however these windows were installed in a icf "concrete" house.
Also how do I find out what the db rating is for wind pressure? thanks for the help. Edistobob

I not sure what a mw window is, I do have a window that is rotting on the bottom! and I have to replace.

MOST CAUSES OF AIR LEAKAGE AT THE POINT WHERE A HUNG WINDOW MEETS IS DUE IS DUE TO THE WINDOW NOT GETTING SHIMMED AT THE CHECK RAIL (THE PLACE WHERE THE BOTTOM SASH MEETS THE TOP SASH) THIS CAUSES THE WINDOW SIDES TO BOW OUT AND CAUSES A GAP BETWEEN THE SASH AND JAMB OF WINDOW UNIT.

I have a 4000 square foot house that has sills rotting on mw windows. The finger joints let go at a year in the house on all my double and triple windows. The windows will not hold paint and the window sills have almost completely rotted away on 7 of 33 windows. I am trying to sell this house and MW will not return calls nor will the warranty department answer their phones. I have had a rep out to the house and they sent me new sashes for 13 windows which to me only admits guilt. Hang in there, maybe we just need to get together and file a class action suit against the manufacturer to get all of our windows replaced with windows of our choice at their expense. My windows are only 6 years old.

My house is 5 years old. I have had occasional leaks in 2 or 3 of my windows. The windows were replaced, but still leak. Now my bedroom windows, 4 of them are leaking, and the rain appears to be pooring from the window sill!
Any suggestions? My neighbor has the same problem with window over foyer.

my wife and i built our house 4 years ago and we have mw windows and doors thru-out and we have been very satisfied with mw windows!

We live in Columbia, SC and have a house that is approximately 14 years old. We purchased the house about 4 years ago, and because of plantation shutters did not notice the rotting MW windows. With the exception of windows on porches that get no rain exposure, virtually all the windows are showing some degree of rotting wood. Unfortunately they are out of warranty, and even if they were, I would not replace them with MW windows.
