My vinyl windows squeak when I raise or lower them. The window itself is weather sealed from the frame by three fuzzy gaskets that provide an airtight seal. I’ve tried a silicone lube, WD and a dry, clean approach to no avail. Any ideas?

John T asked:


I have a southern facing window that just gets beat by the sun all summer. I have to seal, prime and paint about every other year. I’d like to replace the sill with vinyl. These are big crank windows. Do they have to be removed before replacing the sill?

I need to be able to dowload or purchase a disc with the images on it to import into sign making software. Vector graphics work the best. I don’t know if anyone has seen the cute stick people families on the back of car windows, but that is what I am looking to do. Not to purchase the stickers, but to get the images so that I can make them myself, as I have a vinyl cutter and do lots of signs and car windows. I have a ton of demand for them, I just don’t have the images. Please help, I have tried all kinds of searches and have only come up with places where I can order the premade stickers.

What is the appropriate manner to attach vinyl double pane windows to a house?

I’ve removed glass and frame from my 1973 single pane aluminum windows. It was nailed to the 2×4’s under the siding. Should I attach the new window to the siding/2×4, or make the opening in the siding larger so it attaches to the 2×4 frame only? It would be more flush outside if I went with the second option. Thanks for your help. I hope you’ve done this before…

Drafty windows. BUT they are new?

nic43201 asked:


2 years ago I bought new windows. They are wood on the inside, and vinyl on the outside. They have the thick insulated glass and needless to say cost me a fortune. Last year they seemed ok. But this year a lot of air is coming through them and I would like to know why. It is now about -5 degrees outside as I am sure you have seen on the news that we in the northwest are in a cold freeze right now. I mentioned this issue to a friend who said to take a flame and hold it in front of the perimeter of the window. I did that and I was amazed at the result. The flame could not even stand up straight, it was constantly at a 90 degree angle all the way around the window. WHY WHY WHY is this happening? Did I get ripped off on windows, or did they not install them correctly?
