How Do I Install Windows?

Answer:
Replacing your windows can be one of the best ways

to improve the overall environment, as older windows are drafty and usually only have a single pane of glass.

There are many options for new windows, including double pane, triple pain, wood frame, aluminum frames, and plastic frames. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, and we will go over them in a different article.

It is critical to measure the windows properly. Each manufacturer will have a specific way that they want you to measure the window and it is important to follow these instructions, or the window will not fit properly. If the wall is a structural load bearing wall, special steps may need to be taken.

The first step is to remove the old window. First, remove the storm window if there is one, and then remove the inside trim. Then, carefully remove the external trim, being careful to not damage it. After this, remove any shims around the window, and carefully remove the old window by leaning it to the outside. Then, carefully install the new window into the frame. If you measured properly, it should snugly fit. All that is left is to seal up the window and reattach the window trim.
