Hey all,
I am wanting to replace my existing aluminum windows with vinyl replacements/new construction. However, my siding is also aluminum. How would I do this? I was thinking I could pull out the old windows. Then, I would cut off the nail flanges on the new windows. Put the new window in the existing hole, and then, just screw into the studs. Then add j-channels, probably before I put the new window in. The j-channels would be to help divert water from the window.
Is this a way of doing this project?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Holly
