I am trying to make head-tails of replacement vinyl windows. From what I gather, there are windows that cover the existing aluminum frames if you go that route. Doesnt that leave a rather big ledge or frame all the way around in the sill before it actually gets to the glass cutting down on the actual size of the previous window? I dont want to pull any siding off to put in new construction.
I am wondering if you can pull/rip the old aluminum frames out and just add a pocket window and screw them into the sides of the frame to mount thus giving the same window size. That is where I'm at at not finding an answer to. Also if that was an option is there a problem with sealing them up? Anyone know if anyone manufactures double hung pocket windows?
Thanks!, hope someone will have the answers
