Re: Old Aluminum Sliders

Thanks for the reply! I was under the impression that the flush fin would sit on the exterior and just caulk around the edges? What is the trim brake for?

Re: Old Aluminum Sliders

So something like a retrofit window would be best then?

Re: Old Aluminum Sliders

I don't want to disturb the siding. I would just like replacement windows but not sure if I should leave the aluminum frame in or not. I am finding conflicting info online

Old Aluminum Sliders

Hello, I am trying to figure out how to replace my old Aluminum slider windows with vinyl. I found plenty of people showing how to do it on stucco but I have asbestos shingle siding. I was wanting to remove the aluminum frame and start from there. I'm not sure which fin to use to get the best result...
