window frame in basement
Hi...
I want to replace the window frame in the basement. My question is if I should use normal wood ( spruce ) or I should use presure treated wood. The frame will come in contact with the foundation. Thanks. ------------------------------------- ##-----------------------------------------------## Delivered via http://www.thestuccocompany.com/ Building Construction and Maintenance Forum Web and RSS access to your favorite newsgroup - alt.home.repair - 324581 messages and counting! ##-----------------------------------------------## |

window frame in basement
altadata had written this in response to
http://www.thestuccocompany.com/main...nt-343076-.htm : Hello all and thanks for the replies. I need to replace because I'm enlarging the windows ( cutting the window opening in the foundation to have larger windows ). So I will have new windows, new window frame. I like the idea of installing the windows against the concrete. Do you have any link to the provider of the vinyl windows? Thanks. ------------------------------------- Ed Pawlowski wrote: "altadata" wrote in message m... Hi... I want to replace the window frame in the basement.

The frame will come in contact with the foundation. Why are you replacing it? (e.g. looks, security, rot, etc?) Does it need to open for access or ventilation? Do you need to be able to see through it? Would glass block with a vent work? |
