How To Change The Window Stops Inside?

This article provides step-by-step instructions on how to install window stops on Andersen® 200 Series and 400 Series casement windows. The author explains how to clean and sand the window frame thoroughly, measure the height of the window frame, cut four pieces of stop molding, and two sections of parting bead to the desired length. If the window panes are loose or rattling when moved, it may be time to replace the glazing stop to ensure their security.

For the interior wood stops on the Andersen® 400 Series Casement window, follow the instructions provided in the YouTube® video and written instructions. The inside window stop molding is an integral part of a solid 1 inch square jamb extension, not a single strip nailed to the vertical jambs. The author also provides step-by-step instructions for replacing an interior window sill, using a utility knife to cut the caulk between the window sill and the trim.

In summary, replacing window stops is an easy home repair project that requires only a few hours and basic tools. This article is part of a series on how to replace windows and provides step-by-step instructions for installing window inserts or pocket windows from the exterior of a house.
