WHEN TO
CHOOSE EACH METHOD:
.
At Andersen
we believe the sensible
approach to window
replacement should always
include a frame to ensure
weather tightness—as in
insert and full-frame
replacements.
Sash
replacement only is not
recommended. Consider insert
replacement for a
cost-effective solution.
Appropriate
when existing frame is sound
(not rotting), but opening
may not be plumb or square.
Necessary if
existing unit is decayed,
and may be appropriate even when
existing unit is sound (not
rotting), or window opening
is to be enlarged.
