A pocket replacement window is definitely perfect for this application. • The storm window is taken out in addition to the top bottom sash of the existing window. Precisely what you are left with is the original wood window frame along with the interior and exterior trim still in tack. • The pocket replacement window is at that point placed in that frame or pocket . • Is a pocket replacement window better than a full replacement window? • No. The only real distinction between a pocket replacement window and full replacement window as far the construction on the physical window is that one has a nailing flange (new construction window) and one does not (pocket replacement window). A common pocket replacement window is 3 1/4 deep. • This is the dimension of the space in between the blind stop and the interior stop on an existing wood double hung window. • Exactly what are the advantages/pros of pocket replacement windows? • Price of the window-- Pocket replacement windows cost less than new construction windows. This is not a big difference whenever comparing the exact same window, but, it is a little lower. It's one lesser step in the manufacturing procedure. • Cost of the installation-- Okay this is exactly where the LARGE savings are vs. full replacement windows. On a pocket replacement window generally you just have to take out the interior stops to get the new window in and then re-install the exact same stops, caulk them in and you are done. On full replacement windows the entire frame on the existing window is brought out also including interior exterior trim. So you have the added cost of new interior and exterior trim. Plus repainting the new trim, potentially some siding patching and/or wall touch up. The expense is in most cases double if not more. • Job completion time-- Two installers can easily install 10 to 15 double hung pocket replacement windows in one day. That very same amount of full replacement windows might take two installers about 5 days.
