Is it necessary to have steel / metal framing in a replacement vinyl window? We're getting ready to replace our existing aluminum windows. Two different company's have told us that it is better to have a vinyl replacement window which has a steel framing in the structure so the vinyl can't buckle over time (i.e. Polybau and Window World). Is it really necessary to have this metal framing in the structure or does it depending on the size of the window? We have one very large window, 120" width x 60" height which I would find this to be very important in the long run. If it is recommended, can anyone recommend other brands with great NFRC ratings that have metal framing in the vinyl windows structure besides the two I have already listed? I am in Northern California, so please keep in mind available brands. Thanks much! One thing I failed to mention, I am not referring to the spacer between the panes of glass, but the actual vinyl framing. Thanks again. Can someone tell me why it isn't important if you say no?
What is the best way to measure for a replacement window? I'm about to order some replacement vinyl windows and am not sure where to measure to assure the most accurate measurements. I have a brick house and was told to measure from brick to brick around the window on the outside of the house. Is this the best way? I am also aware that many times, when an order is placed, the windows will come slightly smaller. Please respond only if you have successfully measured and replaced a window. Thanks. I'm ordering my windows from Home Depot, and not from one of their sales reps (those are twice as much money). They don't come out and do measurements. They only advise on how to measure, a method I've tried in the past and was not happy with my too-small window--What good is an insulated window when there is all kinds of air passing all around it? Yeah, we caulked...a lot, but there is so much white showing around the border of the window I think it looks funny from the outside up against my brick. I just don't want my windows to come too small. A little small to make it plumb and play it safe is no big deal though. But an inch? I hired a handyman to install my windows. He just measured from drywall to drywall on the inside of the house--not very accurate, but adequate for estimates on windows . Another handyman told me to measure from brick to brick on the outside. Is that the opening? I would just tear out a window to measure the opening, but it's too cold to have an open window.

Window Replacement Process and Terminology? I'm working on a short story and I was hoping some experts can clarify the process of window replacement. In the story, the main character will be watching workers on a lift carry a sheet of reflective glass for an apartment window. First off, is there a technical name for those lifts they ride to install a window from the exterior? Secondly, how do they fix glass into the frame from the outside? Do the workers themselves have a specific title? Any additional details would be appreciated. Thank you so much.
How do I measure for a window replacement that was installed from the outside? My windows were installed from the outside and the siding was installed over it. I have already replaced one window, but my measurements were wrong making the window too small. I had to frame out the window to make it fit. Of course, after the window was in, I installed trim around the outside window to hide where I cut the siding away. It looks nice, but I don't want to frame all the other windows. All the instructions on the Internet are for windows with sashes or windows installed from the inside. Thanks for any guidance anyone might provide! Do I measure flange to flange or just measure what I see from the outside? Am I making this too complicated? It took so much longer with the first window because I had to frame out the window as the ordered window was too small.

Which replacement window style looks best for my house? I am having the windows in my home replaced. The options I have are all-vinyl (white, beige or brown) or aluminum on the outside, with a choice of paint-grade or stain-grade wood inside. The windows I am replacing are all wood-frame. I'd pretty much settled on the white vinly (easy to coordinate and less expensive) except that much of my interior decor, including the trim around the windows on the main level is stained OAK. I'm wondering if that would look cheesy - the white vinyl window next to the stained oak interior trim. Thoughts? Has anyone tried this or seen this at all? Thanks in advance!

Adding a window - replacement vs new? We're adding a window in a master bedroom (remodel) Our contractor recommended going with a replacement window versus new.
