The Home Depot Of Canada - Farley Windows
Sell Leaky Windows

After a recent purchase and installation of replacement Farley Windows from The Home Depot of Canada, I have learned the windows allow water to leak into the house. If water leaks air may leak, too. The Home Depot of Canada has said they are looking into this matter but nothing has happened after several months. Farley Windows, the manufacturer of these windows, seems to be content that it's OK for their new windows to leak water due to the poor design of the window drainage. I know Farley Windows of Alexandria, ON manufactures these windows sold by Home Depot Canada and by many other dealers as well.By going on the Internet, I hope to learn if others have had the same experience, and how I may be able to deal with this situation effectively. I have put my questions to both the seller and the manufacturer but neither has answered my questions. I post my question for those who are in the process of buying replacement windows so that they may be able to protect themselves by raising these questions upfront:
Question to The Home Depot (the seller)

2- Why there is no Farley Windows labels on these windows?
3- Are these windows made in Canada?

5- How different are these windows from other slider vinyl basement windows (SVBW) made by Farley Windows and shown on their web sites?
6- What is the status of warranty on these windows?
7- Are the warranties same as other SVBW Farley Windows?
8- Do these windows carry the National Fenestration Ratings Council certificate as well as certifications from the AAMA and Energy Star?
9- Have these windows been tested with standardized tests by CSA or other credible testing organizations and found to be leak-free windows? Water? Air?
10- Did you obtain the window performance data before offering these windows for sale?
11- Can you provide me with a copy of the Window Performance Data? Please explain in detail.
12- Has The Home Depot conducted a simple water test on any of the remaining stock windows since the matter was brought to your stores attention earlier in September?
