Using the Z-bar method where the old frame is left intact (the silver JUMP-frame), how do you create a weather tight seal between the old builders window frame and be outside perimeter of the Milgard white vinyl frame?
I have a question. What if the window being replaced is a SINGLE-PANE slider with aluminum frame, but I want the replacement window to be a Milgard fiberglass frame single-hung style. The outside of my house is white stucco with medium gray trim. Would I still leave in the aluminum frame of the old slider even though the new window will be double paned?
On your Z bar window installation method you did not show whether you used foam or any other sort of insulating material and/or caulking. Also noticed screw heads on the side rails how did you cover those up? Would appreciate feedback on this
What would happen if you have the old 1952 wooden windows frames ? There is no metal. The windows just slide up and down wood on wood. Perhaps there was some type of string/rope inside to hold it up or down or move it. I just use a dowel to keep the window at the height that I want it.
Rookies, didn't even check to see if the existing opening was level. Early in the video he mentions how most existing frames have water damage, it's a shame to see expensive windows with poor installation.
6:10 do you inject insulating foam in those gaps? Looks like a source of poor insulation around the entire window.

Caulk, and to be honest the windows industry and code regulations are full of it. Caulk, problem solved.

Nice work. What are you using to cut the aluminum frame? Multitool? Sawzall?
I like to plunge with a multi, and use the recip saw to cut it out from the slot I just made
Thank you!
Seems needed caulking first because you install the z-bar window.
That’s a Styleline window correct?

Great video. Can I ask you what do you do on the outside just caulking ? Also does this work for arch windows
Thanks! We did caulking on the outside. Depending on the window application, we may also do a z-flashing. This method does work for arch windows.
