Good morning everyone!
I recently decided to do replacement windows in my home. I did use Home Depot for measurements and I used those measurements to order replacement windows. On the width of the windows I am noticing they have no gap between them and the old windows frame for insulation. I don’t necessarily like the idea of relying on caulk on the blind stops to the window frame (even though I did use high grade OSI stuff). Anyone have any suggestions for insulation when these windows don’t even leave 1/8” for a spray foam straw or packed insulation? Or am I being to paranoid about caulk failure? I want these things air tight as possible. Any help or suggestions is appreciated!
Thanks,
