I have Vetter windows and they are rotting. I spoke with a window replacement company and was told to get clear silicone caulking and caulk the outside of the windows aroung the area that the glass meets the aluminum clad. He suspects moisture is getting in under the aluminum clad. He stated the aluminum clad is rolled in Vetter windows. What do people think?

Hello, many company's have (glazing leak) problems. clear silicone work's well (cap-Beading) unless your windows are (soft) if their black with mildew but still solid, silicone cap beading work's well. if their soft, replace sash. Also look at frame parts.

I have Vetter windows in a home that was built in 1998. I have already refinished them once about 5 years ago on the inside. They are now past the point of fixing. Do I have any recourse with this company? I have not contacted them yet. What should I do? Bob Villa said he is working on a claim against Vetter and wanted to hear from homeowners who had them but I can't figure how to reach him directly.

Let me know if you contact Bob Villa.I have vetter windows on a home built in 1994 and the windows are rotting away. This Fall I silcone caulked all windows and hope this will put a hault to the rotting windows. I have had to replace some of the upper sashes.
