Installation Information
Installation methods used by Centennial Glass (your consultant will suggest the best one for your house)
Full Frame
- Our Standard installation method.
- We will remove the entire window/door, including frame, sash, brickmould, insulation, jamb extensions and interior moulding.
- We will install the new window in the rough opening with new insulation, extensions, interior moulding and exterior finish
Split Frame
- This method works best for clients who want to keep their interior moulding.
- We will remove the entire window/door, including frame, sash, brickmould, insulation but we will keep the current jamb extensions and interior mouldings intact.
- We will install the new window in the rough opening with new insulation and finish the exterior
Insert Frame
- This method works best when dealing with basement windows or windows in an older house.
- We will remove the sashes but keep the frame intact. We will install the new window inside the old frame and re-insulate.
- We will install the new window inside the old window frame with new insulation and finish the exterior.
Insulation:
- We use low expansion foam all around the window and doors from the inside and outside around the frame.
- Foam has the advantage of not only providing good insulation but is also a vapor barrier unlike fiberglass.
- We use fiberglass in bay window skirts or in rare occasions when needed.
Interior Finishing:
- We use MDF flat/colonial casing all around the windows and doors. (occasionally PFJP due to size requirements) & primed finger joint pine Quarter round or Cove (for insert installation)
- We use 2” to 2-¾” for most installations but 3 ½” can also be used depending on the situation.
- The casing is usually primed but not painted
- We recommend painting the moulding within a few days to prevent shrinking
- The casing for special shaped windows (i.e. half-moon) is not primed and will require at least 2 coats of paint.
- The casing will be nailed to the window frame & drywall and cover the insulation.
- Special casing is available upon request. Extra charges will apply.
Exterior Finishing:
Brickmould
- When installing windows with brickmould, we will simply caulk the outside of the window.
- We use Mulco Supra Expert or Tremco #830 caulking to seal the window
- The color of the caulking will match the color of the window not the siding.
Capping
- For windows without brickmould, we will use capping around the window to cover the insulation.
- We use 23 gauge aluminum flashing.
- The color of the aluminum flashing used will be from Gentek selection.
- We use Mulco Supra Expert or Tremco #830 caulking to seal the window.
- The color of the caulking used will be Mulco selection.
