Condensation on Tilt-Out portion of Vinyl Casement Window

11 years ago

Obviously I have a cracked seal on one of my windows and there is condensation between the glass on the tilt-out portion (lower portion)...the rest of the window (upper portion) is fine. The windows are 10 years old...no idea what make (builder grade). Can I just replace the tilt-out portion of the window, or do I have to replace the whole window itself? Thanks for your input!

Tilt the window in and look along the sides of the sash and the frame to see if there is a manufaccturers label anywhere.

If you can't find a label, take the sash to a local glass shop and have them measure it for a new piece of glass.
