How to fix water seepage by the window?

For coastal cities, what are the requirements regarding the water resistance of aluminum alloy windows?
Reply #22009-04-10
In building leaks, leaks around aluminum alloy windows also account for a large proportion. The main reasons for the leakage are as follows: 1. Water accumulation in the cavity of the aluminum frame ;   2. Poor sealing around the aluminum frame ;   3. No drip edge on the window sill ;   4. Water ingress into the exterior wall at the top of the window sill ;   5. The gaps around the glass in the aluminum alloy windows are not properly sealed. The prevention and control measures are as follows: 1. Change the cavity of window frames to solid frames as much as possible, for example, by filling them with foam strips during window manufacturing ;    2. Cavity window frames that have developed leaks can have their cavities filled using grouting ;   3. The perimeter of the window frame must be tightly sealed, with a drip edge at the bottom of the window ;   4. Apply waterproofing to the exterior wall at the top of the window ;   5. The perimeter of the glass is well sealed ;   6. If water accumulates in the window groove, drill holes to drain it; the outside of the window sill should be 1–1.5 centimeters lower than the inside
