Install a 400 Series Woodwright Double-Hung Full-Frame Window

Ten-part video series offers step-by-step instructions on how to install an Andersen 400 Series Woodwright Double-Hung Full-Frame Replacement Window

Assessment
Part 1: Follow an Andersen contractor as he performs a replacement window assessment and estimate using Andersen Full-Frame Woodwright Double-Hung windows. This window was chosen to maintain the original aesthetics of the Dutch colonial style home.
Measurement
Part 2: Measure the existing windows to determine the exact rough opening size. This will help you specify the right replacement window size. Because you may not always have the option of removing existing trim, we'll show you how to measure windows accurately while leaving the existing trim intact.
Strategy
Part 3: Develop your replacement window strategy that will best achieve your client's goals, taking into account appearance, water management and maintenance needs.
Preparation
Part 4: Prepare your work area, including setting up scaffolding over exterior landscaping and using drop cloths to minimize clean up inside.
Tear Out
Part 5: Remove existing windows, starting outside and moving to the interior, while preserving existing trim that will be reused.
Rough Opening Prep
Part 6: Inspect and prepare the rough opening for the new replacement window units.
Water Management
Part 7: Each project's individual characteristics will determine what water management technique is best for that project. In this video, learn how to install flashing and create an angled sill before installing the windows themselves.
Installation
Part 8: Install the new insert window frames, taking care to measure frequently so you can make adjustments as needed.
Exterior Trim
Part 9: Install the window exterior trim to recreate the original Dutch Colonial look.
Interior Trim
Part 10: Install the interior trim around the windows, using new extension jambs. Then, carefully fill all nail holes and perform a full clean up to ensure your clients will be pleased with the new windows and your installation process.
