When replacing a window and/or a slider, there are many details that need to be considered in order to ensure these replacements meet performance and aesthetic requirements. Rana will review these details, highlighting the pitfalls that often occur in the process of their replacement.

Learning Objectives:

• possible changes in the amount of light of the new window/slider;

• the importance of rating - wind/water pressure - and how it affects the performance of the new window/sliders
• the possible changes to the aesthetic of the window/slider; and,
• best practices in installation of new windows/sliders -- property tying the window/slider into the existing weather barrier
