Discussion Board Forum for Vinyl Windows

And two more, just for good measure.

And here are some after pics...

I thought I should close out this thread with a finished product. It was a massive project, but I'm happy to say it is FINALLY done. I've posted some before/after pics. Thanks again to all the experts here, especially WoW and HomeSealed, for your input. Couldn't have done it without you guys... and ...

Thanks, guys. I'm actually excited to get started now! Just need warmer weather. And a bit more time...

Just wanted to extend public thanks to both WoW and HomeSealed for so patiently answering my installation questions via email. You guys are absolutely the best!!! If anything goes wrong with install at this point, I clearly only have myself to blame. Thanks again, guys!

Ha! No kidding.

Eric,

I've just sent them via email. Thanks on the gun. Will let you know when it arrives.

Thanks again for all the help here. I'm going to stop promising that my next question will be the last. I have the windows in my garage now, and I'm starting to think more carefully about how to do the installation. (I know, this is completely backwards.) I will have to remove the aluminum frames, a...

Thanks, guys. I'll start with 1.5 inches and work my way out from there. Eric, I'm starting to see the wisdom for your installation method (i.e. new construction windows with a nail flange). I've been reading about compression and sealants, and it seems the best way to create compression is screws s...

Okay. Hopefully this will be the final question. The new windows are set to be delivered in a couple of days, but I won't begin work until May or so. As I've said, the existing windows have aluminum frames and appear to have been built by the (now defunct) Linford Brothers company. I'm assuming they...

Thanks, Eric. I've sent a message again. Thanks too for giving me the title of my first ever country, fugitive-from-the-law song in your earlier post. "Get a gun and don't look back." I love it!

WoW (and others), I was out of town and just got back a couple of days ago, so I just now managed to send the message through your company. Since I think it might be of use to others I thought I'd also ask here on the forum how many cans of foam are typically needed per window. Most of mine are repl...

Thanks, guys. A gun it is then. WoW, I will indeed email you to find out more about purchasing. Erm... how do I do that? Should I submit a request form on your company's website?

Thanks, WoW. I think I'll pop off one of the windows and then decide on the best course of action. I know I said I had one more question, but if you don't mind I'd like to ask one more one more question. I saw the comments on the other topic about expanding foam. I've used the GS foam and it's not e...

Thanks again for the response. If I could trouble you with one more question, what is the minimum width for the stucco flange you would feel comfortable with? I had said that the cut back on the siding appeared to be 3/4 around the current windows but this was an estimate. I don't think I'll know fo...
