During the facade inspection, missing fixing screws were observed at the aluminium window frame. The absence of mechanical fasteners may reduce the structural integrity of the window installation.
Potential Impact:
Reduced fixing strength
Window frame movement
Water ingress
Air infiltration
Increased maintenance costs
Potential safety risk under high wind conditions
Recommendation:
Install the missing screws using the manufacturer's specified fasteners and verify that all window fixings comply with the project specifications. After installation, inspect the window for proper alignment, secure fastening, and effective weather sealing. Conduct a water-tightness test if leakage is suspected.
