In
this age of the internet, there is practically nothing that you cannot do if
you have the interest. With the computer of a thing, you can sit down in the
comfort of your home and get the knowledge to do whatever that you so desired.
The
home is not complete without the window. The designs of the window have been
taken to another level entirely and just anyone can be involved in its
installations provided you are armed with the knowledge of how to install a new
construction window. This is the goal of this tutorial. The steps are easy to
do it yourself steps as you are going to see now:
Step One
With
the prybar as a tool, remove the jam extension as well as the window trim that
holds the old window in place. This is the beginning step and it is very
crucial to the overall success of the exercise.
Step Two
The
next in line of actions is to remove the old window from the jam. Unscrew it
and remove it entirely out of the frame. Windows with multiple window sashes
can be removed more effortlessly by taking it one sash at a time.
Step Three
The
window is now out of the wall in its entirety. Now, inspect the condition of
the window jam. Is it still perfectly in order? In that case, all is well. Is
there any noticeable structural defect? You have to repair and correct that at
this very stage before you proceed to the next line of action.
Step Four
Your
attention should now be shifted to the window stop. This is a piece of wood
that is ripped down and placed on the exterior side of the window jamb. Its
function is to prevent the window from sliding off its radius of rotation. If
this is in order, you can continue with the process. But if there are
noticeable defects in it, then you have to address it because of the important
role it plays in hanging the window in place.
Step Five
By
now, you are gradually and systematically coasting home. What you will do now
is to make an attempt to fix the window making sure that there are no issues
with the fitting. Address all the issues that you noticed at this stage before
you move on. Make sure the window is a perfect fit before you move on to the
next line of action.
Step Six
Now
you have put in a lot of efforts and it is now time to install the window
properly. This is one of the simplest processes if you have gotten it right
going through all the steps itemized above. Run a bead of silicon on the inside
of the window stop and then slide the window into place. Use the screws in the
pack that come with the window to fix the window properly in shape.
Step Seven
Add
insulations to prevent leaks that will lead to the entrance of air or water
through the joints.
Step Eight
You
can now add extension jams and trim molding that will bring the best out of
your home decoration.
Finally
You
can now paint and add the desired finishing touches.
