Altering wood sash windows with vinyl windows
We had really removed the old wood sash windows and prepared the opening for the vinyl replacement windows when we left off last week. You need to put the window into the opening to ensure it’s going to fit, then remove it and run a bead of caulk on the face of the outdoors blind stop where the window will rest. Sometimes, when raising the top into position, the window frame will strike the top of the wood frame.
As quickly as you recognize that it’s going to fit, eliminate the new window and set it aside. As soon as again, raise the window into position. Now have your assistant hold the window in position while you raise and reduce the sashes, making particular that the window is square in the opening.
While your assistant holds the window in area, nail your stops back on. Set up the fastest ones if the window has 4 stops. I suggest doing the extremely first window to this point prior to going to the next if you have a number of windows to do.
Wind up the within by caulking the area of the within stop where it satisfies the case, and the point where the stop satisfies the new frame. A quality replacement window will either have a sloped frame to match the slope sill, or it will feature an insert that fits under the new frame to fill the area established by the sloping wood sill. If you buy a lower grade window that does not included anything to fill the area below, you can acquire some wood trim to fill the location, or you can get a flat vinyl trim that links to the face of the bottom of the new frame.
You can buy gadgets to cover your old wood sills with a vinyl wrap extrusion. Next week we are going to start on altering old aluminum windows.
