Jamb

1.4 Jamb Flash Base The jamb flashing can be installed after installation of the window joinery. Cut the jamb flashing base to match the height of the opening. Fix the flashing in place so that 8-11mm of the top leg is exposed out to the side of the joinery. This will give sufficient surface area for gluing the pre-cut scriber in place,.

Cut the Old Wall Studs

To build a new window frame in an existing wall, first remove the interior wall covering and any insulation to expose the studs. Decide which studs will have to be cut to install the new frame and which can be kept to use again. Take the jamb size and sill height into consideration when planning the placement. We use a 30 inch sill here, but you may want to measure the height of the other windows in your house and set the new one the same. It may be necessary to remove the apron trim to accurately measure the existing sill height.

With exterior walls it's best to leave as much of the existing framing in place as possible to preserve the exterior siding. To accomplish this, choose the studs you will use for the king studs and then cut any others that fall in the center to form the top and bottom cripples.

Measure for the top starting at the finished floor: add the header size + the window jamb height + 30 inches for the sill height and ½inch wiggle room. Mark this point on the studs. For the bottom, measure up 27 inches (30 inches for the new window height - 3 inches for the rough sill) and mark the studs there.

Use a square to draw a straight line on both faces and the exposed edge of the studs. Prop 2x4's under the top plate to support the wall load and use a handsaw to cut as straight as possible, all the way to the exterior siding.

If possible, remove the center portion of the old studs and discard them. If they are still attached to the siding, leave them in place and remove them with the siding in the final step.
