Mike Lamb Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 I'm sure this was asked before but I could not find it. These six year old Marvin windows had a red tag at most of the sashes. Why? I didn't bother to investigate other than noting they were there. Click to Enlarge 22.12 KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Hockstein Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 Maybe this was a way to determine if someone opened the window? The tag would fall when the window was opened. Possibly duirng a radon level test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Raymond Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 That is a shipping tab used to keep the sash in line and prevent tearing of the fragile weatherstriping. The installation instructions clearly state to remove them. BTW, those are Integrity windows, a company owned by one of the Marvin boys. Susan Marvin runs Papa Marvin's wood window company.

I'll Google Integrity. All the glazing was marked Marvin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
