Re: Aluminum Window Question
A lot of the old aluminum windows were 2 1/4" frames. We would also build fixed units with 2 1/4" tube stock for curtain walls.

Re: Aluminum Window Question
Manufactures offer many frame depths...
Traco, who i worked with for 10 years had a 4-5/8" aluminum door tr8300 and a 5-5/8" tr81000(discontinued) and now i think they have a 3-1/4" door the NX830. To answer your question i dont think frame depth has anything to do when the door was made. |

Re: Aluminum Window Question
yes,newer windows will be deeper so you will be losing the sheetrock. you could either re-sheetrock or replace the jamb with pine and paint it.
