Re: Replacing windows in brick

The "insert" casement requires no more "flashing than the insert DH. The AW insert DH does not have a fin. Andersen doesn't make an "insert" casement window that I can find on their website. What they have is "replacement casement windows without installation flanges&q...

Re: Replacing windows in brick

AW does make a special sized non fin casement. Yes, but they aren't "insert" windows to pop inside your existing frame, as far as I can tell. Those replacement casements are easier to fasten, but you still have to do all the flashing if I'm not mistaken. I ordered insert double hung windo...
