leaking conservatory

hi there,
I have just finished building a lean to conservatory that is built on a steel base cladded in p5 grade chipboard and with all this rain we have been having i have noticed water leaking in at the bottom of some of the window units they are full hight glazed units which i bolted as per instructions throught the units,cill and into the steel base.
Please could you suggest why this might be happening and how to solve it?
Thanks dazz

I am not 100% sure how the steel bases work but have you got some kind of water proof membrane seperating the frame from the floor?I am thinking that if not bolted tightly the water may settle on membrane and run through bottom of frame?have you contacted your supplier?

Hmm it's hard to tell. I would assume that the edge of the window would most likely be the week spot. Perhaps it is not fitted flush?
