Pella Replacement Windows Installation Process
Step 1: Measure the openings.
Getting the exact measurement of your window openings is critical to making sure your Pella replacement windows will perform as expected and contribute to the energy efficiency of your home.
Measure the opening vertically and horizontally across three areas: top, middle, and bottom. Get the width by measuring from jamb to jamb. Get the height by measuring from the windowsill’s top to the header’s underside.
With all measurements taken, choose the smallest width and height measurements for the final dimensions. A local window specialist can assist with this step to ensure precise measurements.
Step 2: Remove the old windows.
Your old windows must be removed carefully to prevent the walls of your home from being damaged. It’s also important that old windows be disposed of in a responsible manner, so they will be hauled away by local Pella window replacement contractors at no additional cost.
Step 3: Ensure the new window is weather tight.
Be extra careful in making sure that your Pella replacement windows are uniform, plumb, and level in the openings. Insulation should be installed between your windows and wall.
Also, check that windows are well sealed to your walls to keep water and air from getting into your home.
Step 4: Finish and clean up.
Test to ensure that every new window is working properly. All hardware should be installed.
Depending on your preferred finish, the windows would either be painted or stained. If necessary, replace both the window’s interior and exterior trims and apply desired finish.
Once all the finishing work is done, the Pella installer will clean up and vacuum the work area. They will explain to you how to operate and care for your new Pella replacement windows.
