Replacing Aluminum Windows Stucco House

I have bought two vinyl windows to replace the two aluminum windows in my bathroom.

Replacing aluminum windows stucco house. In stucco homes with aluminum windows it is often necessary to cut away the original flange to preserve the stucco. Continue to break the stucco at the areas that border the window. When you need to replace windows in a stucco home you likely won t need to damage the stucco in order to remove the old window and insert the new one as the new replacement window will fit within. The reason is to replace plain glass with obscured glass.

Use a cold chisel and the hammer to break the stucco into. Consider the nature of your exterior finish the kind of windows you have how a window replacement will affect the look of your finish. The new windows are not replacement type but are new construction. My house is of stucco construction all my interior sheetrock is removed and nominally the old and new windows are the same size.

Aluminum windows have a nail fin that requires stucco to be removed for the window to be taken out. Break the stucco along the cuts with a workshop hammer or framing hammer.
