We have timber windows but find that rain is coming in through the bottom of the window, how do we stop the water. The windows are stained from previous leaks, is this a sign of not being treated?

If you are getting staining and leaking through the joints on the timber windows or if the windows have not been stained or painted, water will be absorbed through the end grain of the timber and will leak leaving marks.

You will need to dry the timber and sand back the marked areas and stain or paint the windows.

There are a number of reputable paint/stain suppliers in the market each offering a range of suitable solutions to finishing of joinery products
