Installing some JELD-WEN V 2500 SERIES flush fin windows with built in trim for super easy installation with T1-11 siding.

Flush Fin:
For Replacement or Retrofit. Our flush fin option allows our windows to be installed from the exterior of a home into an existing window frame; the fin covers the old window frame. No need to cut back stucco or siding, refinish interior trim or replace blinds and window coverings. This provides a clean, energy efficient result.

Was looking for a simple review of the V2500 series. This hit the mark...well done thank you.

[michellelaclair]

I didnt see what you did to secure and 'line up'the window at the end as your hands were out of view

Can I remove the window shims after the foam dries up. I want to foam where the shims where then replace the screws.

[echtigren]

This was a Fantastic video and very educational. you did a great job explaining all the steps thoroughly and wanted to say thank you for that!
Had a question, I'm doing a DIY project on my back room and will be installing this same model window. My window measures 71.5-in x 47.5-in x 2.9065-in. Would I rough frame my window a 1/4 inch larger than that measurement, or would I rough frame in exactly 71.5 x 47.5? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Nice video,
According to Jeld-Wen the V 2500 Flush Fin Windows come with a 1 5/8" and 2 1/2" fin.
You say 2" built-in trim? Please confirm, thanks

I'm replacing windows in my house, do I need to remove all the sheetrock around the inside of the opening or can I install the same way leaving the sheet rock and trim the inside?

[loneranger]

Do you need the wood shims at the bottom of the window it it's a retrofit window ? I already have the casing and trim from the old window. The old window is the original window, it slides left to right.

[elizabethbetty]

I had picture windows, retrofit style with flush fin style installed on my stucco exterior. The stucco wall is flat surface so why are the bottoms of the vinyl fins not flush fat against the stucco wall? When I stand below the window and look up, I can see a gap. Is that supposed to be that way? Plus why did installer not caulk the bottoms? I was told they do not caulk the bottoms because it’s a retrofit window.

[SayQuesitoPhotobooth]

I installed a window it fit perfect inside the frame, but i dont know why the window that slides does not stay on its place it will come off.

[KeenLaF]

HI what color did you paint your siding here?

[vLife]

Are these windows always installed over the siding? so to replace siding you must take out the windows?

[satxpress]

Can you remove the window shims after the foam is dry?

[soldragon]

What do recommend for the siding that over laps. Do you have a video for that type of window & trim? Thanks in advance!

[garrisonjones]

Who in the hell made up that rule or recomendation? These windows work fine on any surface regardless of the siding you may have.

[brittanyc]

I cannot find this window anywhere!!! Help, please!

Silicone is not the best choice for this application, many better sealants available such as Dap 3.0.
