So, it can't have the sort of "integral drainage channel" that's used for metal or PVCu windows and if this is at the bottom of the window, it would be a weatherboard or weather moulding. Also, I've been told to check out Dicobat (which I should have done in the first place), which translates "rejet d'eau" as "weather moulding". But, how can a "weather moulding" be "encastré"? Well, it can if, instead of just being stuck on the bottom edge of the window, it is fitted into a recess specially designed to prevent water from trickling behind it, which is often a problem with plain weatherboards. So, rather than "integral drainage channel", I'd now suggest integral/integrated weather moulding. |

Reference: A picture of what it looks like Reference information: This is what it is. I'm afraid I can't think what it's called in English. Also, as windows in France open inwards and windows in Britain open outwards, the design is liable to be different. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 31 mins (2018-06-26 20:11:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, perhaps this link will work better: https://www.fenetre24.com/rejet-eau-gouttiere.php -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 31 mins (2018-06-26 20:11:45 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- https://www.fenetre24.com/rejet-eau-gouttiere.php -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 hrs (2018-06-27 11:03:16 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- On the other hand, the picture in my reference above might not be what it is. In the question, we are told "« Rejet d’eau encastré » is a feature that is added to the exterior side of a window sash to redirect water away from the window." Problem: if it's "encastré" it would appear to be integral and, therefore, not "a feature that is added to the exterior side of a window sash". Also, is this a sash window or a casement window? (The French have never really gone in for sash windows.) https://goo.gl/images/WCASDU |
