The Invention relates in general to a Rain Shield that could be Installed with existing Single or Double Hung Windows in any structure, or as an addition to pre-hung or pre-fab Windows.
When a window is left open for any reason and rain occurs, the water from said rain may enter the building creating a moisture problem soaking the window sill and or the ledge, as well as leaking into and in between the walls and damaging drywall including the floor or other like building materials, Thusly causing costly replacements to damaged areas.
This Invention will keep the rain or water from entering said windows therefore eliminating any water damage and or costly repairs while at the same time allowing fresh air to enter the structure.
The present Invention relates to a water damage prevention device that is comprised of plastic or a like substance that is measured to fit most installed or pre-fabricated windows horizontally, whereas one piece maintains two one hundred and eighty degree folds, top and bottom respectfully that serve as a guide for the second piece to slide into therefore being able to retro-fit said invention tightly into the window tract opening upon the window sill from inside, utilizing the guide to slide open or closed as the width deems necessary for a tight fit. Additionally, affixed to either end are flexible hinges to which side arms are attached. The side arms being at an approximate 30 degree angle are then folded ninety degrees outward which are utilized as a brace for the lower window to rest upon that leaves an inward tilted opening to which fresh air can circulate through. Water therefore cannot pass through this barrier.
