Insert Replacement Windows

Insert (Pocket) Replacement Windows in Buffalo

When your existing frame is still sound and square, an insert window drops a new unit into the old pocket without disturbing the interior or exterior trim. It is faster, less invasive, and less expensive than a full-frame job, while still upgrading you to modern low-E insulated glass. Primalhealthwithjean uses inserts on the many Buffalo homes near Hertel Avenue where the original wood frames are in good shape.

Why Choose an Insert

An insert keeps your original casing and stool intact, which matters in older Parkside and North Park houses where the trim is part of the character. Because we are not opening the wall, the work is cleaner and quicker, and you still get a tight, energy-efficient double-pane unit with argon fill and a warm-edge spacer.

Our Process

We measure the existing frame in three places to find the true opening, since an old frame is rarely perfectly square. We order the insert built to that size, remove the old sashes and hardware, then set the new unit into the pocket, shim it plumb, and seal the perimeter with foam. Most rooms are finished in a single visit, and the original trim stays right where it was.
