There are many ways in which you can do 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 differing opinions from other experts. I recommend you read the article to the end before making any decision.
The reason why I point out the differing opinions is because I know that not all windows get damaged in the same manner hence not all the repairing information will be standard. 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 consider for your aluminium storm window repair.
they might be scratched, cracked or do they have broken glazing? In this case in order to fix the aluminium storm windows you will 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 edges are fastened by metal keys in this case you will need to remove the screws to take out some of the corners – one or maybe two. If you find that they are crimped then an awl can be used to extract the vinyl splints that are used to fasten the glazing.
Once you have done all that you can then fit the new glazing (2mm). Just confirm that you make it smaller than the inside frame dimension in order to enable some expansion and contraction. Just put the glazing vinyl on the glass and then press it into the frame. Then assemble the corers. If you are dealing with crimps frames just 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.
