Re: STC question

Thank you!

HomeSealed, how long might it be before I notice the casements sagging? Is that called "sash drag?"
I looked it up and it sounds like something a handyman could fix.

Thanks!

STC question

Hi. My window configuration is two windows with a fixed picture window between them.

It occurs to me that if the STC of the side windows is different from that of the picture window...
will the overall STC be the lower of the two numbers?

Thank you!
