- Frame was rotted out and needed to be replaced
- Looking for egress window that cranked out
Our window installers took out the old, rotted frame and did a full frame window installation. We completely removed the rotted frame and replaced it with a new frame.
Before
- Hard to open, air and condensation entering basement through rotted frames
- Moisture, water damage and mold can be a result of the comprimised window frame
This window was difficult to slide open. The rotting frame means air and condensation was most likely entering the basement. This can lead to moisture, water damage and mold. Our window replacement contractors at TightSeal Exteriors & Baths removed the window in the basement for a full frame window replacement.
Most window contractors do not do full frame window replacements. Our team at TightSeal Exteriors & Baths knows every person’s situation is different. For those who are planning to live in the home long-term, or over 5 years, we recommend getting full frame window replacements to address the root of the concern. In this case, doing a pocket install would only put a band-aid over the situation. The rotted frames would still be in the window, causing condensation, moisture and air leaking into your home.
Ask you window replacement contractor about pocket versus full frame window installations. Our window installers at TightSeal Exteriors & Baths knows this is crucial for a successful window replacement. We thoroughly inspect your window frames for water damage, condensation or any other structural damage.
After
- Full frame window install will address the root of the problem- eliminating further moisture, condensation or air
The new window cranks open with ease. The new frame means no more condensation, drafts or moisture leaking into the basement.
The double pane window is great for our Wisconsin climate and will help keep the basement cool in summer, and warm in winter. The liquid injected foam will further prevent the transfer of hot and cold air. This North Prairie home has a lifetime warranty on its new egress window.
