Next summer take a real good look at your other windows to see how this one differs. You can probably "remanufacture" it to make it fit together. It will probably involve sistering a piece onto that upper frame to fill in the gap.Marilynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11981165196778882484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103061776704295860.post-59927819644066848902008-11-24T19:50:00.000-07:002008-11-24T19:50:00.000-07:00I was gonna say the same thing as Alan--shrink-wra...I was gonna say the same thing as Alan--shrink-wrap that entire window, putting the tape on the outside edge of the window trim so the whole thing's encased. That's what I did with my bathroom window, which has no storm window, and so far this year I've used the space heater in the bathroom once--and there's no HVAC in there.Jaynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03564514698418229865noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103061776704295860.post-79370596209356020562008-11-24T10:42:00.000-07:002008-11-24T10:42:00.000-07:00Jennifer,It looks like that window has been rebuil...Jennifer,<BR/><BR/>It looks like that window has been rebuilt at least once. The bottom sash does not share the side detail, as well as being square at the top.<BR/>It looks the same on the top of the window as well.<BR/><BR/>Since you have a storm on the outside, the air is probably coming out of the pully/sash box opening.<BR/><BR/>This is a location for that 3M plastic with foam tape that you shrink with a hair dryer for this year. <BR/>This is a replacement deal for sure. sigh....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2103061776704295860.post-33015255822245393442008-11-24T09:04:00.000-07:002008-11-24T09:04:00.000-07:00B.

It made a solid 10 degree difference in the house. Especially in the breakfast nook that has wrap around windows. But before I did this, I checked the windows and they were blowing in so much cold air that they might as well have been open. I would suggest a storm window, they run about $60 at the home centers. At least until you get your windows refurbed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
