Window Replacement Basics

Replacing a window involves several steps, which vary slightly based on the type of window being installed. Nevertheless, the basic process is similar. Here’s a step-by-step guide to replacing an entire existing window, stressing the importance of a good fit, along with comparisons of installing a double-hung window, a bay window, and a sliding window:

Step 1: Measurements and Removal of Old Window

Firstly, it’s essential to measure the old window accurately to ensure a good fit for the new window. Measurements should include width, height, depth and diagonal measurements. Once you have the correct measurements, you can proceed to remove the old window. This involves taking off the interior-exterior trim, unscrewing the window from the existing frame, and carefully removing it to avoid damaging the surrounding wall.

Step 2: Preparing the Window Opening

After the old window is removed, it’s time to prepare the opening for the new window. Clean the area, removing any leftover caulk or insulation, and make sure the sill is level. If necessary, you may need to repair or replace the existing window frame, ensuring it’s square and structurally sound.

Step 3: Installation of the New Window

This step will vary depending on the type of window being installed:

• Double-Hung Windows: These windows have two sashes in a single frame, which slide up and down. To install a double-hung window, set it into the opening from the outside, making sure it’s level. Then, screw it into place, checking again for level and square.

• Bay Windows: These windows project out from the house and usually consist of a picture window with two smaller ones at an angle on either side. Installing a bay window is more complex and may require additional supports due to its size and weight. Once the supports are in place, the window can be lifted into place, secured, and checked for level and square.

• Sliding Windows: These windows slide horizontally on tracks. To install a sliding window, it’s placed in the opening, checked for level, and then screwed into place. Ensure that the window slides operate smoothly in its track after installation.

Step 4: Insulation and Sealing

Next, fill any gaps around the window frame with insulation, and then seal the window with caulk. Insulating and sealing are crucial steps to prevent air and water leaks, contributing to the window’s overall energy efficiency.

Step 5: Finishing Touches

Lastly, replace the interior trim and add any desired finishing touches.

Windows Have Several Parts, Each With Specific Functions:

Frame: The frame is the outer structure of the window and holds the sashes or glass in place. It provides structure and stability.

Sash: This is the part of the window that holds the glass. In a double-hung window, there are two sashes that move up and down.

Glass: This is the transparent part of the window, allowing light into your home. The glass can be single, double, or triple glazed for better insulation.

Muntins: These are the bars that divide the glass into panes. They can be decorative or used to hold separate panes of glass.

Hardware: These are the operational parts of the window, like handles and locks. In sliding windows, this also includes the tracks on which the sashes slide.

Weather Stripping: This material is used to seal the window against air leaks.

Jambs (Side Jambs, Jamb Liners): This is the vertical part of the window frame.

Proper window installation is essential to ensure that the window functions correctly and efficiently. The window must fit perfectly in its opening to prevent air and water leaks, ensure smooth operation, and provide the best energy efficiency. Different types of windows have different installation procedures, and understanding these can help ensure your window is installed correctly.
