Re: Stucco flange on siding--installation help please

I think I didn't explain well enough. The front windows were installed in the same way. They just had the wood trim butted up against the edges of the aluminum frames.

Re: Help installing new OKNA windows.

And just to clarify for myself, I want the tensioner screws to be extended so they are making contact with the jambs? So basically their purpose is almost like another screw?

I am always suspect of a company that produces 3 lines of garbage and one good line.

Re: Installation of fixed double pane glass in a PVC frame

IMO, your best bet will be replacement. Anything else is nothing more than a band-aid.

Re: Dow Great Stuff foam or backer rod/caulk?

I just caulk between the Tyvek flap and the window frame? In other words, the caulk bead seal will be on the interior side of the window, briding the Tyvek flap to the frame, as opposed to back up against the back side of the nail fin flange where foam would seal.

Re: Simonton, Ply Gem or Alside

I figured it was a smart choice to upgrade for $500.
