How to Install a Replacement Window Without a Nailing Flange

Getting Started

When it comes to windows, the choices are nearly endless. Let us help you make the right decisions for your project.

Why replace your windows

JELD-WEN research has shown that 67 percent of homeowners need to replace their existing windows. The problem is, when it comes to windows, the choices are nearly endless. If you are replacing your old windows, experiencing drafts through and around the panes or simply want to update the style, this guide will help you make the right decision.

1 Consider your project type

One of the most important factors in choosing new windows is whether or not your replacement window will require a nailing flange - an additional piece that sits flush against the window frame. This will determine your exact window measurements as well as your style options and availability.

New Constructions

New construction includes additions to your home as well as replacing a rotted window frame or in tandem with an exterior siding or trim upgrade. Windows With Nailing Flange are fastened through the nailing flange to the studs from outside of the structure.

Renovation / Replacing

Windows Without Nailing Flange are fastened from the inside of the structure using the existing window frame and there is typically no need to remove or replace existing trim and siding. These are an easy and cost-effective way to upgrade your windows.

When selecting a window style, consider your visual preference, your ventilation requirement, and the location of your windows.

4 Consider your budget

We offer different pricing scales within each of our window lines – from custom to more modest options. With materials, wood is more expensive than vinyl or clad-wood. Whichever you choose, it's important to factor in long term value beyond the initial purchase price. Energy efficiency and a longer warranty can help save on maintenance and replacement costs. Resale value is also a key consideration – beautiful, more efficient windows are a big selling feature.

Wood

Available in a variety of species, such as fir, pine, mahogany, or alder. Characteristics like grain, color, and sap content contribute to its unique appearance.
