There are many ways in which you carry out an aluminium storm window repair. I will mention one that has worked for me and others. I have talked but of course you can get other opinions from other experts. I suggest you go through the article to the end before making any decision.
The reason why I mention the varying opinions is because I know that not all windows get damaged the same way hence not all the repairing information will be the same. For example some may have damaged glazing, scratches or cracks and some might have problems with the sash, which makes them to have some sliding problems.
below are some few ideas you can think about for your aluminium storm window repair.
they might be scratched, cracked or do they have damaged glazing? In this case in order to fix the aluminium storm windows you might have to remove the storm sash or the screen. Then remove the glazing, which is usually glass or acrylic plastic.
You may find that the corners are fastened by metal keys in this case you might have to remove the screws to remove some of the corners – one or maybe two. If you discover that they are crimped then an awl could be used to remove the vinyl splints that are used to secure the glazing.
Once you have done all that you can then install the new glazing (2mm). Just make sure that you make it smaller than the inside frame dimension in order to enable some contraction and expansion. Just put the glazing vinyl on the glass and then fit it into the frame. Then assemble the corers. If you are dealing with crimps frames simply lay the glass in the frame and just press the vinyl weather seal so that it locks in to the joint between the frame and glass.
