Project 12793 – Marvin Wood-Clad Sash into Original Jambs – 2004

A modest bungalow.
New Marvin Wood Clad Casements to be installed directly into original jambs.
This installation involved plowing the sash for Whitco Hinges, very similar to the hinges on the original sash.
Jambs for the Casements are kerfed for Silicone compression weatherstripping.
Because the sash are clad in aluminum, the key to this type of installation lies in skilled measurements being taken and ordering the sash correctly, because there is absolutely no trimming the sash down to fit the jambs.
Installing Marvin Tilt-Pacs where the original windows were double-hungs. The Tilt-Pacs come with their own factory applied weatherstripping & balancer systems.
Marvin does now make a complete retro-fit casement package, called the Ultimate Casement Window. Like the double-hungs, they come with Marvin hardware & complete weatherstripping.
Our client was tired of dealing with the maintenance of the original wood windows.
But he did not want to disturb any of the original jambs or trim.
