Wooden Window Replacement With a Vinyl Anlin Window

hi guys tristan at american window concepts and today we are going to replace an old wood sash window with a new vinyl window show you how it's done and we're going to do is undo all the screws here now this window here is a little bit different than most wooden windows there's no wood stops on the inside to remove and this one's just on some little hinges so it's a lot easier even it literally is just going to pull right out of here next thing i'm going to do is just kind of sweep off the opening get all the cobwebs and dirt and stuff out of there keep locking the whole opening next thing you measure the outside the most lowest part of the seal for the bin so we're just gonna go ahead and measure we're gonna go 30 inches so we're going to go out to the window now so here i've got the window ready i just need to mark from the top of the window down to 30 and then i'm going to go ahead and cut that and it'll fit right in that opening i'm just going to draw a line here so i know where to cut this fin at [Music] right now i'm just trying to make sure it's it's all pretty flush around the edge on the opening here we're going to take some jam extender and we'll put across there to that it'll seal that up and it'll all get cocked in and yeah you won't even see this gap that'd be it'll be nice and pretty i just want to give it a little push while you're putting the screw in and you don't want to over tighten your screws because you will kind of torque down the vinyl which is not a good thing and then also when i'm pinning the window i always try to make sure each side is almost equal so now that i have the window in and pinned and the next thing i'm going to do is grab the sash and put it in and make sure the reveals are all straight and lined up before i finalize all the screws so here we have the sash almost good i need to go loosen this screw here a little bit when we check our reveals which which means it's the edge of the stasher that opens to the edge of the window that's one the first spot then the second spot is here in the middle this edge with the bar the stay bar that doesn't move and then the third normally would be take the stop out here and go all the way to the edge and make sure both of the locks are even i'm actually going to end up putting one shim in the center of this window which will make my sash kind of move that way which will correct my reveal there i'm just going to get under it a little bit make space here perfect there we go locks good okay so now that i know that's good then i can pull the sash out and put my screw in the top now that i don't have to mess with the window anymore [Music] put this back in now now that the screws are done i'm going to put caps on the screw holes that way it kind of hits the the screws there makes it cleaner looking now that that's done i'm going to get some trim that's going to go around the three edges that will close off all that gap and just make it look finished to seal it up now we got our trim i'm going to measure the opening the top window opening here this piece cut our trim like this just peel these back and this just just sticks on vinyl the vinyl and then vinyls of wood same thing these just stick on first before we start cleaning and caulking i'm going to put a piece of the jammy extender along the bottom um to close up that gap when we put this on we do not want to cover up the little holes on the corners those are the weep holes if you cover that up then you're gonna have issues down the road if water gets in that frame we're gonna be right below it which is perfect so let's go and stick this on usually i will work from top to bottom and caulking that in and we like to use the wet sponge it just helps keep that coughing pliable until we're ready [Music] and that's pretty much the last step there once it's cocked in you're pretty much done it'll take 24 hours for that caulking to dry fully and then that it is also paintable once it's dry thank you guys for watching that's how you replace the wood stash window with a vinyl window if you found the video helpful go ahead and give it a thumbs up and subscribe and if you guys are in the market for vinyl windows go ahead and go to americanwindowconcepts.com and scroll down to the bottom and request a quote and we will get back to you thank you for watching [Music] you
