Installing replacement windows requires good measurements,
most importantly. How to measure for replacement window is a
science. You measure the width and then you measure the height.
Miscalculating these numbers can cost you valuable time and energy so measure
very carefully. You measure from the inside and measure the bottom, middle,
and top.
Next, remove the old window and begin the replacement window
installation process. First remove the stops with the tool of your
choice. Some people keep them so they can use them for the replacement
windows. Then remove the parting beads (if any) and the sash.
Finally, it is time to begin installing the replacement
windows. Use the detailed installation instructions that came with your
windows! Clean the frame, caulk the frame, and install your window. Make
sure it is flush and tap in the shims. Most people don’t tap them in all
the way because they may need to be removed later. Screw in the mounting
screws at the bottom and top, close any gaps by moving the header up, test the
window, and apply the final caulking.
Your installed replacement windows will be beautiful and
energy efficient. Taking only a few hours, it produces long lasting
results. A relatively easy job, installing replacement window is a great way to
improve a room and add value to your home.
