WINDOWS
Measure for Replacements
The first step in the process of window replacement is by measuring the
existing window frame to ensure you make the right order. The two measurements
you’ll need are the height and width of the old windows. You get the width by measuring
the distance between the inside of the right jamb to that of the left. Also, you get the
height by measuring the gap between the head jamb and window sill.
Remove Old Sash
Obvious, the old sash must be taken out. In most cases, you have to unscrew
the wooden stops so that you can take out the lower sash. After that, remove the parting
bread so the upper sash can be free. By merely pressing the jamb liners, you can pull
forward the top of the sash. Then drift a side of the sash upward to free it from the jamb
liners.
