In our previous articles I talked about all the actions necessary to correctly replace your old wood sash windows with energy effective vinyl windows. I told you how to measure for the new windows. Then we discussed the removal of the wood sashes and parting bead. Finally, I told you how to install, seal, and trim the vinyl replacement windows. But, what if these old windows in your residence are created of aluminum rather of wood? Is the method the same? No, it is not the same at all. So, the next couple of articles are going to clarify the differences between replacing wood windows versus aluminum windows.
When discussing the appropriate frame style for replacing the wood sash windows, I explained the difference amongst new construction frames versus replacement frames. When replacing aluminum windows, there is another alternative we have to consider regarding frame style. It is named a "retrofit" frame. Let's go more than each frame kind. Initial, we have the new construction frame with the nailing fin. If you choose to go this route, you have to remove the exterior around each window opening, pull out the nails holding the aluminum window to the studs, nail in the new vinyl window, apply flashing, caulk, and re-install the exterior around every window.(I get tired just talking about it!)In addition to getting a entire lot of labor, you can run into key troubles trying to install the exterior product around each window opening. If your house has stucco, you have to try and match the rest of the stucco. It can be accomplished, but not by you. Even most skilled stucco guys can not get a ideal match. What if you have wood siding? Nicely, you can cut away 2" of the siding about each window to get to the nail fin, then you can apply 1 X two or 1 X three trim around each window. Definitely not as a lot function as the stucco residence, but probably much more operate than the common homeowner cares to tackle. What if each window is surrounded by brick? Let's not even go there! You would have to remove the bricks, then re-set up them all when completed.
Trust me, you do not want to replace your old aluminum windows with new construction vinyl windows. You want to use either the replacement frame like the one utilized to replace the wood sash windows, or one thing named a retrofit frame , that is well-known in the west exactly where stucco is a frequent exterior. Since the procedure for measuring is the identical regardless of the frame style selected, this post will go over the appropriate measuring process, and future articles will explain the difference in the installation method for replacement versus retrofit.
If you look at the portion of the aluminum frame that goes around the window opening into your surrounding walls, you will see three separate "legs" that form two pockets. The outside leg and the center leg type the 1st pocket. Your screen and stationary panel will be in this pocket. The center leg and inside leg form the second pocket, and your sliding panel is in that pocket. Find the "leg" that is the widest on all four sides. When measuring the width, run your tape measure from the widest leg on the left to the widest leg on the proper. This should be the narrowest measurement. Then, subtract three/eight" from that measurement. This is the width of the replacement window. Measure the height the same way. When measuring the height, measure as close to the center of the window as achievable. This is particularly important on windows wider than six feet, simply because the top wood header has a tendency to sag over time, generating the center of the opening the narrowest. You do not need to deduct 3/eight" from the height like you did on the width. 1/four" is fine. These are the dimensions you use when ordering your vinyl window. If you have any picture windows(windows with out a vent panel), there will only be two legs and a single pocket. You still measure the identical way.
Subsequent week I will go over whether your home is a candidate for retrofit frames or replacement frames..
