There are many ways in which you carry out an aluminium storm window repair. I will provide you with what has worked for me and others. I have talked but of course you can get differing advice from other experts. I recommend you go through the article to the end before deciding on anything.

The reason why I mention the varying opinions is because I know that not all windows get damaged in the same manner hence not all the repairing information will be the same. For example some may have broken glazing, scratches or cracks and others may have problems with the sash, which causes them to have some sliding problems.

Here are some few ideas you can think about for your aluminium storm window repair.

Are they scratched, cracked or do they have damaged glazing? In this case in order to repair 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 notice that the edges are fastened by metal keys in this case you will need to remove the screws to remove some of the corners – one or maybe two. If you find that they are crimped then an awl could be used to extract the vinyl splints that are used to fasten the glazing.

Once you have completed all that you can then install the new glazing (2mm). Just confirm that you make it smaller than the interior frame measurement in order to enable some contraction and expansion. Just put the glazing vinyl on the glass and then press it into the frame. Then put together the corers. If you are dealing with crimps frames simply lay the glass within the frame and just press the vinyl weather seal so that it locks in to the joint between the frame and glass.
