How to properly install energy efficient double-hung windows
In short: This video demonstrates the professional process of replacing windows to improve home efficiency. Learn the essential steps for framing, flashing, and securing new double-hung units to ensure a weather-tight fit.
The installation process begins with structural preparation, including installing a new header to support the new framing. Once the rough openings are framed, the exterior wall must be properly flashed around the window to prevent water infiltration.
To ensure a secure and watertight seal, the window bottoms are caulked as the unit is centered. Finally, the windows are tacked, measured, and nailed into their permanent position.
