window match your order. Remove every furniture
or any other ornaments from the surrounding areas
of the window.

Remove the openers using a screwdriver. Remove
all opening sashes. If the old window is a
glass window, carefully crack and remove the
glass from the inside. Use a knife if necessary
to cut through the plaster seal around the window

vertical frames. Apply nail bar, this will
