| I considering replacing some of my old windows. I've been looking at the Zap kit from Jeld-Wen. It seems to me if the existing window frame is square, then these kits install faster and give more glass space than a pocket insert. Am I missing something? Is there an advantage to pocket insert replacements versus the sash kits? Thanks. |

| Sash kits are more subject to air leakage and are more sensitive to proper installation. |

| Sash kits also use older technology (vinyl jambs etc.) You will generally get a nicer window with the insert. The drawback as you said in your post is you lose glass area but the post by wow is right on. Good luck! |
