Maintenance of Replacement Windows Check the
exterior caulking of your replacement at least
once annually. If necessary, re-caulk area where
needed. Pay particular attention to the tops and
bottoms of the windows or anywhere that water is
likely to accumulate. Glass Rite recommends using
a high quality silicone caulking.

Normal Replacement Window Maintenance If you
have a replacement window inside the shower area,
be sure and use a curtain to keep water from
hitting the window it may cause insulated glass
to fail prematurely. Replacement windows are
designed to get wet on the outside not on the

either from the inside of the house or the

inter-changeable. To put the screen back in your

center of the window. Compress the tension
springs by pressing the screen frame opposite the
pull tabs and use the pull tabs to get the corner
of the screen into the window, repeat for the
other corner.
