Marvin Elevate Fiberglass-clad windows - issues with cracks

8 months ago

last modified: 8 months ago

We ordered all new Marvin Elevate Fiberglass-clad windows (19 total) for our home in March - they took months to arrive and once they did we had them installed (new construction windows) about 2 months ago. Our home project also consisted of replacing siding with new stucco, along with these new construction windows. My husband recently noticed cracks on the exterior of 3 of the windows which are all casement windows. See photos. We are extremely frustrated and disappointed. Has anyone had a similar experience or any advice?

Looks like a finish issue as opposed to a true crack. I would get the Marvin rep out to the site to look at the units.

Hope the installer is friendly with Marvin. There is going to be some finger pointing going on...to be certain.

Possible finish issue aside, but isn't there supposed to be an expansion gap between stucco and window?
