HOW TO INSTALL
REPLACEMENT
WINDOWS
Prepare the Frame for Installation
Prepare the frame for install by removing any drive in, old caulk y, or nails.
Scrape off all the blistered and loose paint and patch any cracks or holes with grade
wood putty. Smooth the jambs, prime, and then you can paint the surfaces.
Install the Replacement Window
Place the window into the frame to be sure it will perfectly fit and then
remove it. Put a bead of caulk along the windowsill and inside the edge of the outside
window stops. Work from inside the room, start by placing the insert replacement
bottom onto the sill, then direct to the opening. Ensure the window fit tight against the
blind stops or exterior casings.
Caulk and Paint
From outside the window, measure the gap between the casing and frame.
The window usually comes with an insert to cover the hole or sloped frame to fit the sill
slope. If neither is available, fill the space using a piece of wood. Caulk the joint
between the insert and structure, and then you can prime and paint the interior of the
window frame and sash.
