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.

Does anyone know an email address for the Vetter Consumer Service Division?

I would like to know, from those who've experienced rotting, if you tend to keep your curtains or shades drawn most of the time? I see so many gripes about rotting and condensation across so many window lines, that I find it hard to believe it's totally the window's fault. I had condensation on my Marvin wood/clad windows which was causing discoloration of the grilles, and have discovered that I think it was because I kept the blinds shut all the time. I thought I was being more energy conscious, but in doing so, it trapped air between the blind and window and encouraged condensation.
