INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

REMOVE OLD WINDOW

REPLACEMENT DOUBLE-HUNG & SINGLE-HUNG WINDOWS

1. With a razor blade

knife, score a line

between the inside stop

and casing. Remove

inside moldings or stops

with broad chisel and

save for later use.

BEFORE YOU START:

Read these recommendations, look at the photos carefully and identify all

pieces to be removed or added during installation.

TOOLS YOU MAY NEED:

Broad wood chisel, hammer, utility knife, phillips-head screwdriver,

flat-headed screwdriver, level, safety glasses, gloves, caulking gun, profes-

sional grade exterior caulk, drill, 1/8" drill bit and pliers.

We strongly recommend that you wear protective eyewear and gloves.

BEFORE YOU INSTALL YOUR WINDOW, IT IS

IMPORTANT THAT YOU DO THE FOLLOWING:

1. Measure the window opening to ensure that you purchased the correct

size window.

2. Measure the window itself to ensure that it will fit into the desired

window opening. The window should be approximately 1/4" less than

the opening in width and 1/4" to 3/4" less in height.

2. Cords and weights, or

spring balances can then

be removed so that the

old bottom wood sash

can be removed.

3. Pry out the top and

side parting stops (left

and right). For stops that

are heavily painted or

stuck you can use a

broad chisel to shear off

the part of the stop that

protrudes into the jamb.

4. Once the parting

stops are out, the upper

sash can be removed

from the outer track.

5. If your existing window

has pre-formed aluminum

tracks, there will be no

wood parting stops on the

sides, but there will be

one at the top. Remove

the top parting stop and

the staples which fasten

the pre-formed track to

the opening. Once the

staples are removed,

both sash and the tracks

can be removed.

6. Leave the exterior

blind stop intact. Do not

remove it from the

window frame.
