CertainTeed Awning Window

Handy Person from North Carolina
I have leaky CertainTeed awning-style windows when the wind blows strongly. The strike? plates at the top of my windows have rusted/crumbled due to ocean air (see picture). As a result, I think, I've noticed that the seal is not tight along the top-middle edges (both inside and outside) of this awning style window. I also think that the bulb-style weather stripping, which fits into a slot, could use replacement.

The windows measure, on the internal seal, ~19.5'' W x 15.5'' H, and on the external seal, ~22.5'' W x 18.5'' H (see picture).

I've tried (unsuccessfully) to replace the weather stripping with adhesive weather stripping. I still get leaks from the top middle of the window.

The dimensions on the internal weather stripping is 3/16 slot with 3/16 bulb.

The dimensions on the external weather stripping is 3/16 slot with 5/16 bulb.

(see pictures)

Please suggest parts for my job and advise how to stop the leaks.

Thanks, Steve

Thanks for posting, Steve. For your internal and external weatherstripping, please take a look at our 58-135, bubble-seal, respectively. Do you think this may work for you?

We are still researching a possible replacement for the strike plate. If at all possible, could you please supply its dimensions?

Paul,

Thanks for the legwork. Yes, those weather stripping parts look perfect.

The strike plate (don't know if that's what you call it) has the following dimensions.

1.5" D
2.5" Outer W
1.5" Inner opening W
7/8" H

The inner opening appears to be there to accommodate a plastic guide block that sits on the underside of the top of the window casing.

Thanks, Steve

Thank you for your patience in this matter. Unfortunately, we have been unable to identify this strike plate. You may want to contact a local hardware store. I apologize for the inconvenience.
