How To Install a Vinyl Picture Window

While the process of installing a vinyl picture window may seem daunting, there is actually a relatively simple installation approach

Step 1: Measure the window you want to install. This will help you determine the length and width of your material

Step 2: Purchase your material from an installer or local home improvement store. Most vinyl windows are available in sizes ranging from 8 feet to 10 feet wide and 12 feet long

Step 3: Measure your window frame to ensure it will fit inside your desired opening. The frame should be able to support the weight of the material

Step 4: Cut out your window to fit inside your frame using a utility knife or scissors. Do not cut through any drywall, studs or other framing members that are supporting other parts of your house! If necessary, measure and cut additional pieces to completely surround the opening so they all fit together properly when installed

Step 5: Install one piece at a time, starting with one edge first and working toward the middle of your vinyl window until all pieces are in place and secure with screws or nails (if necessary). Place each piece where it will not interfere with another part of your house as you work northward toward you last leaning piece for support before placing
