How do I replace the frame when installing a new basement window?


by DoItYourself Staff

A basement window frame some times must be replaced, because of age or damage. Installing a new frame requires that the old one be removed, with the help of a pry bar. Once the old frame has been removed, its measurements must be taken, so that a well-fitting frame can be bought. This will help you avoid mistakes caused by wrong measurements. The area that was occupied by the old frame must be cleaned out well, so that the new frame fits properly. Following the right measurements, use the right caulking and as nails to fit in the frame. With this, you will have your new frame well installed.
