- Clean and prepare the opening to receive the new vinyl window frame.
- Insert the new vinyl window, level the frame and secure it in place with anchor screws.
- Make sure the window is plumb and square.
- Apply insulation around the window frame to prevent drafts. Use expanding foam or fiberglass insulation. Then, caulk the exterior and interior of the window to create an airtight seal. Use an exterior-grade caulk for the outside.
- Install new interior and exterior trim or casing to cover any gaps between the window frame and the wall. Nail or screw it in place and ensure it’s flush and level.
- Once the trim is in place, fill any nail holes or gaps with wood putty or caulk. Sand and paint or stain the trim to match your interior and exterior finishes.
- Test the new windows by opening and closing them to ensure they operate smoothly. Inspect the windows for any gaps, leaks, or issues with the seal.
- Clean up the work area, disposing of any debris, old windows, and packaging materials properly.
