Leaking Windows

Leaking Windows is commonly observed during the rainy season, noticeable by water overflowing or seeping from the edges of the window into the house, or seeping along cracks on the walls, resulting in damp walls, risk of wall swelling, peeling paint, damaged wallpaper, or rotting wood.

Causes of Water Leakage at Window Edges

• Cracks in the wall, corners of the window frame, or edges of the window, including ceilings and roofs.
• Rain, splashing water, and seepage through cracks in the walls.
• Sealant materials deteriorating or losing quality over time.
• Drainage holes at the window edges blocked by various debris.

Solutions for Water Leakage at Window Edges

• Seal the leaks in the mentioned areas with Beger Sealant, such as Beger PU Seal, which has high flexibility. Attach the cut nozzle of the sealant tube to the caulking gun, then apply the product to fill the joints and cracks, smoothing it out evenly.
• Wipe away excess sealant from the repaired joints with a damp sponge or cloth, leaving it for at least 24 – 48 hours before applying paint according to the system: 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of topcoat.
• It is recommended to use a high moisture-resistant multipurpose primer like Beger Pro Quick Primer B-1900.
