Installing Old Custom Windows?

boydbuild

What is the process of installing custom windows that are like the ones from the 40s. Double pane glass, rope and pulley? Is it like anderson or replacements. How do you go about doing it?

bump. I have to bid on this job this weekend and ive installed new construction and replacement windows plenty of times but i never installed these types. Do you think it will be like new construction with flanges or ?

neolitic

Back up a minute.
Where did the windows come from?
Where are they going?
Remodel?
Restoration?
New construction?
Details?

No, they will not have flanges.
That's the only question you
have given enough information
to answer.
If they need weight pockets,
they were likely intended for
balloon framed houses, and
if you are asking....you've a lot
of research to do.

Sash weights and thermal
pane glass?
Fishy.

They are being done by a custom window shop to reciprocate the old style, and being installed in old apartment buildings in nyc. So I wanted to know how to install these, like replacement or new construction, how?

Galk them in. Use lots of galk, just like new or replacement Andersons. I also like to galk the casing pack as the project then looks exceptional from my house

Good read, genecarp. In that case boydbuild, galk it.

neolitic

Once you said they would have
sash weights.
Is this true?
You say they are going to go
into an apartment building.
Would this be frame construction?
Brick? Block? Poured concrete?

I never did like playing
20 questions anyway.
