WHO? does this? In most situations the so-called
replacement windows offered by Home Improvement centers and Window Installation contractors are not the right fit for
your needs. Over the years we have investigated numerous water infiltration issues that resulted from
the originally installed flanged style window being replace with what is commonly termed as a replacement window or a flange-less
window.

WHAT"S the difference? Replacement style
windows do not have an exterior perimeter nailing flange which is needed in order to incorporate your windows into the exterior
building envelopes water shedding capabilities, which is why new construction (or flanged) window were used by the builder
of your structure. The exception would be a brick, stucco or similar facade.

WHY? do they do this? It's simple most of these installers count on your lack of knowledge regarding window
installation. They are called replacement windows after-all right? Installing windows without the flange, which
means you do not need to remove any exterior siding or trim is quick, easy and HIGHLY profitable. Generally you
will be offered a fantastic warranty (such as lifetime) on your new windows with a flashy carefully crafted sales presentation
by a commissioned salesman.
