Resin or steel putty? if it's steel windows it's putty, dig out and apply some fresh putty.

It sounds like it's those local steel tubing windows with putty and not prefab aluminium/ PVC windows since he said it's cracking. Perhaps he could clarify.

rspann wrote:Yeah, that's steel putty. It will come out easy. Dig out as much as you can clean properly, paint on some rust treatment like red oxide, put on new putty and paint when dry. If you get a good rotary wire wheel and some coarse sand paper those windows will come back like new.
adnj wrote:Standards for hurricane resistant roof structures do not require the use of I beams or welded cleats for certain roof designs. Well designed roofs can be (and are) built using only C-purlins and fasteners for the main structure.
A large, continuous roof with a shallow pitch saves money by using less roof sheathing material but requires a more robust structure to handle the loads.
Higher pitch, discontinuous roof surfaces are more hurricane resistant and have reduced horizontal static loading on the roof spans. They are also more expensive and more difficult to design and build.
Problems with creaking and noise from rain is best handled by an acoustic underlayment or insulated ceiling but not typically installed locally because of cost.

Anyhow, the Small Building Code gives recommendations for what sizes and shape of structural steel you should use for the roof rafters based the frame spacing, beam span and type of roof covering being used.

Got this in hardware yesterday. So i clean out old rust, red oxide prime, then apply putty? Once cured, what’s d preferred paint? Oil or emulsion?

Never use emulsion on metal, it will cause more rust. Use oil, or there are types of latex that are made for metal. You get these at Benjamin Moore Sherwin Williams etc , but they are verrry expensive. I paid around $800 for a gallon. If you put on enough coats of oil paint, especially if rain hits the window, you won't have any problems for years. I just remembered, misra paints has a water based for metals, and it's not as pricey.
