? please reply :: rreplacing windows ; on a mobile home ; there is a thin wall compared to a framed house. I have heard that there are mobile home specific windows; I have removed one window and it seems to be the same size as a framed house window. with a 1 1/2 fin.

I wouldn't think it would be any different - you still need to build the surround and sill. How old is the home you're working on?

Dear Shawn,

If you are still interested in replacement of that window, you may visit us at

www.northviewcanada.com

Even if location is not suitable for you, you may check out the characteristics, descriptions and prices for any windows or doors you might be interested in (including custom made and exported from Europe, Germany)

I have seviced hundreds of windows and doors. the sizes are alittle different but you can have a window built to any size you want. make sure you leave a 3/4" insulation gap around the window. The MH WILL move around alot with the change in weather. Also use vynal windows. NOT wood or woodclad!(they are not as flexable. I highly recommend using a double hung versus a single hung or a slidder and absolutly NOT a casment or awning window. If you can find a supplier that gets windows from canda I recommend it.The weather up there is much more severe so they have a higher building standard.(NORTHSTAR makes the BEST vynal window I have ever seen, and they have a good warrenty that they DO stand by.
