Windows are available in two types .Home owners need to understand this concept first.
The first type is called Re-Placement windows, if you have an existing wood frame window in your home you will be able to simply re move the sashes and order a custom window to fit properly into that frame. This is called a re- placement window there are some exceptions but the bottom line is, you will need to have a good existing window frame that will allow water to properly drain away.
The window is designed to fit the exactly into the width of all old style wood window at about 3 1/8,
And it will install easily between the existing wood stops of the old window frame. Re Design contractors has a full line of quality windows with many additional options for consumers in the south jersey area.
The second type is called a new construction window. This means that the window was installed prior to the siding during the construction of the home .This window will have a nail flange and is installed into the rough framing and also installed behind the vapor barrier of the siding to be sure that no water or air can penetrate the wall of the home providing a tight seal. . Re Design contractors has a full line of quality winnows with many additional options for consumers in the south jersey area.
Many contractors in the south jersey area are installing the replacement windows into homes directly into the framing with no consideration for a tight seal or a flange. This type of installation will not work. The window is just set in the opening and you can see outside between the window and the frame. This crack is just filled with caulk and covered by aluminum wrapping that will leak and cause rotting of your home without the home owner being aware in as little as 2 years.
Re Design contractors knows the installation procedures and has a clear understanding of what needs to be done to do the job right. Don’t be fooled if you have new construction windows now, they should be re placed with new construction windows again.
