Key notes to installing window
 First of all, use a prybar to remove the window trim from the old window and jamb the extension.
The jam extension is only a piece of wood rubbed and fastened to the jamb window to carry it to
the wall.
 Inspect the conditions of the window jamb with the window outside the wall, this is to ensure that
there is no structural crack on the window. For an ancient window, it is not unusual to leak, rot
the jamb out. If there are errors, the damaged regions of the jamb must be replaced or repaired
before you move forward. You will also have to assess your rough opening to ensure your fresh
window is fitted. The rough front should be 1/4 "to 3/8" wider than the exterior side of the
window.
 Install window stop -The window stop is a piece of wood ribbed to the outside of the window
jamb. The stop feature is to avoid slipping the window out of the window. It prevents the window
moving literally. The initial stop is most probable still in use, but if it is damaged, you may also
have to repair or replace it.
key points required for the vapour permeable sarking or a waterproof membrane
 Position the membranes against outside the frames. When
positioned as a wall or roof sark, these membranes decrease the danger of condensation forming
within the house and the structure.
 Use vapor permeable coatings
 Use permeable membranes with low resistance of up to 0.5 MNs/g
