Replacement Windows and Water Management If you look at all vinyl window types (double hungs, sliders, casements, picture windows, etc.) only the “hung” units (double hung and single hungs) are designed with sills. These are called “weep holes” as they allow water to weep out of the frame of the window.Click to see full answer. In respect to this, do all windows have weep holes?Most horizontal sliding windows have weep holes, as do most single or double hung windows. Weep holes on sliding windows can be seen in the sill track. They are under both the sliding and operating sash, as well as the screen. Care is necessary to assure access to weep holes is kept clear.Additionally, do aluminum windows have weep holes? Won’t the little holes let cold air in, just when you thought replacing your wood or aluminum windows would get rid of drafts? Don’t cry. These are your window’s weep holes, and they are strategically placed to drain water out of your window while preventing airflow into your home. People also ask, should window weep holes be covered? No Wind or Water Weep holes in vinyl windows are designed to keep both water and wind out. Manufacturers install small flaps covering the weep holes, which open out to let water exit and close so wind can’t come through the window.How do you keep bugs out of weep holes?Corrugated plastics and steel wool pieces are also used to deter pests. While this may work short term, it is not a permanent solution. Corrugated plastic leaves spaces large enough for small insects, like termites, or determined insects, like roaches, to pass through the weep.
