Measure for the New Window
It is important to have accurate measurements for every window in your
metal building. Accurate
measurements ensure that your windows fit properly for maximum energy
savings and ease of installation.
Take all measurements from inside your metal building.
Inside View of Existing Window
Be sure to measure all the way to the jambs on the left and right.
Measuring only to the stops would cause your new windows to be too
narrow.
To find the width, measure from the inside of the jamb on one side of
the window to the inside of the jamb on the other side of the window.
Measure at the bottom, middle and top of the window. Use the narrowest
measurement for the width of your replacement window.
To find the height, measure from the top of the sill to the bottom of
the window's head jamb. Measure at the left, middle and right of the
window. Use the shortest measurement for the height of your replacement
window.
Using the smallest measurements ensures that the replacement window will
fit inside the existing window frame.
Remove the Old Window Sashes
Since the replacement windows fit inside the existing window frame, you
only have to remove the sashes, parting bead and inside stop from the
existing window. To make the project easier and safer, install your new
windows from inside your metal building.
Remove the inside stop pieces from the window. Take care when removing
these pieces; you will reuse them when installing the new windows.
Remove the inside sash. If the old window uses weights, cut the sash
cords or chains. Let the weights fall to the bottom of their wells and
simply leave them there.
Slide the outside sash to the bottom of the window. Remove and discard
the parting beads. Remove the outside sash in the same manner as the
inside sash. Do not remove the exterior stop from the window jambs.
These stops will retain the replacement window when you install it.
Clean the window jambs and sill thoroughly. If the old window had
weights, either drive the pulleys into the frame or remove them
entirely. Fill any holes in the jambs or sill with caulk.
Many manufacturers produce Double Hungs, Horizontal Sliders,
Casements, Picture Windows, Awnings, Hoppers, Bay Windows, Bow Windows,
Garden Windows, and Sliding Patio Doors.
