If you’ve been exploring your replacement window options, you may have already heard of the different window-installation methods, namely, insert and full-frame window installation. Let your leading window replacement contractor, Renewal by Andersen® of Atlanta, explain what each method means, and which is best for your home.
Insert Vs. Full Frame Window Installation
If your existing window frames are still in good working condition, then insert window installation may be more appropriate. The process for insert window installation only involves replacing the window sash assembly, keeping the window frame, sill and trim intact. This makes the installation process faster, simpler and often cheaper. However, there are some drawbacks. You’ll have to hire a replacement window manufacturer that builds to size or you might sacrifice your windows’ energy efficiency, colorway and general operation due to improper fit.
Full-frame window replacement, on the other hand, involves removing the entire existing window assembly – including the frame – and replacing it with a new one. This is appropriate for window frames that are already beyond repair. Replacement window units are built together, which guarantees a perfect sash-to-frame fit and therefore better energy efficiency. A full-frame window installation also lets the contractor address previously unknown issues with the wall opening that would otherwise have not been revealed if the original frames were in place.
