Our window installation has been tested in an AAMA

(American architectual manufacturers association) certified laboratory to the following standards: 1. ASTM E-331

2. ASTM 1105

These standardized tests simulate a wind driven rain storm equivalent to 62 miles per hour of wind pushing 8 inches per hour of rain at the openings for a solid hour with no let up. This was done without one single failure (or leak) . We then tested it at 120 mph and 8" rain and again no failure. The truth established in the lab is that the windows themselves will start to leak water through the joints and around the glass before our installation will allow a single drop to penetrate into your walls or window openings!!!

The Glue and Screw Method

This method consist of removing the glass and pulling the frame and nailing fins of the old window out from behind the existing siding. You then install the new fin-less window into the existing opening by screwing it from the inside and caulking it on the outside. The benefits of this type of installation is that you do not disturb the existing siding or interior trim, so no wood trim is needed. The only materials needed are screws and caulking. This installation is very common in the window industry because it is quick and easy, average installation time 30 minutes per window.

2FL'S Installation Method

Common Installation Method

The Nail On or Cut Out Method

This method consists of cutting around the perimeter of the window, removing the existing window, cutting back the interior liners, installing self adhering membrane, installing the new window with nail fins, then installing trim around the window. This installation currently is considered to be the best way to install replacement windows without replacing the current siding. The benefits of this installation is that the nailing fin is utilized and will divert water from the opening. The down fall is that it does not integrate to the existing building envelope, requires exterior wood trim, and is more expensive than the glue and screw method. Average installation time 1 hr. per window.

Warning

The first two installations compromise the building envelopes WRB (Weather Resistant Barrier) because when the old window is removed the building paper that is over the nail fins is either cut or torn. The stucco fin installation does not disturb the WRB but because of the exterior fin creates a channel for water to track into the home because head flashing cannot be used. These installations rely on the caulking bead and any voids in it would be cause for water and air penetration at the windows and siding creating rot and mold

The Stucco Fin method

This method consist of removing the glass and leaving the frame of the old window in the opening. You then install the new stucco fin window into the existing opening by screwing it from the inside and caulking it on the outside. The downfall is the window will rest on the existing liners so the window will be much smaller then the old window and a large amount of frame width will be seen from the outside because of the stucco fin. The benefits of this type of installation is that you do not disturb the existing siding or interior trim, so no wood trim is needed. The only materials needed are screws and caulking. This installation is very common in the window industry because it is quick and easy, average installation time 30 minutes per window.
