Understanding Full Frame Window Replacement

During full frame window replacement, the existing window sashes, window stops, trim, casing, sill, and frame are removed. Often the rough opening is made visible during a full frame window replacement. When the new window is installed, the new window with nail fin is sealed and attached to the wall, then the exterior trim and new window are installed.


Full frame window replacement is as close to getting new construction windows as you can get. Once the replacement is finished, you'll have completely new windows.


You may be a good candidate for full frame replacement windows if:



  • There is rot in your window frame
  • You would like to change the size or shape of your window
  • Your window is no longer square

Match Your Existing Casings & Leave No Unfinished Wood

It’s common for new windows not to match your old jambs and casings. Woodland Pre-Finishing services can match your jambs and casing to your new windows. Woodland’s services avoid the problem of unfinished surfaces on the sash by disassembling all components before finishing. We remove all the factory hardware to stain all edges of the sashes and then reassemble the hardware onto the window after it’s fully dried and cured. Unlike the competition, which is not going to the extreme prepping Woodland goes through.

Advantages of Full Frame Window Replacement

There are many benefits of full frame window replacement including:

Larger viewing area for more natural light and more glass

Superior weather tightness, like new construction windows

Update the curb appeal of your home, with architectural interest
