Is there a national code or other rules for the installation of replacement basement windows? Particularly, I’m interested in knowing if fasteners are required to attach the window frames into the concrete. I had vinyl windows installed by a contractor and they only put a small bead (1/4″) of clear silicone on three of the four faces of the existing metal frame in the concrete. No fasteners were used. Is that legal? I couldn’t find any specific code online. My city inspector was useless as well. All he told me was that as long as they didn’t change the size of the windows, he didn’t care.

We have an opportunity to buy some replacement windows that was originally purchased as vinyl double hung. However, the windows will only work for our application if we turned them 90 degrees and install as slider windows.

For some reason the developer of our condo installed window locks on the ground floor, but not the second. My son already tries to mess around with the windows and my daughter is getting close to the age where I’m shure she’ll start trying.

Our windows are vinyl, which means you can drill or cut into them. Does anyone know of any window locks you can install for vinyl windows?
