#Seirra pacific balance lock windows

Sierra Pacific has been out a bunch of times to adjust the casement window closures but many of the windows still have gaps. As far as the sharp and exposed aluminum edges, that’s just how they are designed. Of course the installers don’t say anything about the scratches and there is no touch up paint available. The screens had some little scratches when they were unboxed and sharp edges. There is no further adjustment to close the window tighter. It would be a major undertaking to replace the trim and then refinish. The gap in the photo is 5mm and varies along the height of the window. We aren’t noticing air leaks anymore after SP adjusted but the windows still don’t close tight due to wood warpage/shrinking and the way the window trim is designed/built. There is a gap between the window and the trim. Some of the casement windows don’t close tightly. The casement window construction of the Sierra Pacific Aspen II windows makes us wonder if they will stand the test of time. There might be a slight tint on the north side against the wooden blinds but I don't notice a tint against the white cellular shades and looking out I don't see a noticeable green tint (see the mountains). I have attached some photos from the inside out and outside in with different window coverings (including white).

Getting back to you since we have moved in and the Sierra Pacific Low-e 272 glass.
