Step-by-Step Process:

1. Assessment of the Existing Window:

• Inspected the old ventilation screen, noting its deteriorated frame and loose mesh that no longer provided adequate protection against pests or debris.

2. Removal of the Old Screen:

• Carefully dismantled the old frame and screen, ensuring no damage was done to the surrounding structure.

• Cleaned the area to remove leaves, dirt, and other debris.

3. Measuring for the New Ventilation Window:

• Took precise measurements of the opening to ensure a snug and secure fit for the new frame.

4. Building the New Ventilation Window:

• Constructed a custom frame using galvanized metal for durability and rust resistance.

• Installed heavy-duty mesh to prevent pest entry while maintaining proper airflow.

5. Installation of the New Frame:

• Secured the new ventilation window in place using screws and supports to ensure it would remain sturdy over time.

• Added wooden blocking for extra stability and a seamless fit.

6. Final Adjustments and Finishing:

• Ensured the mesh was tightly secured and free of gaps.

• Conducted a thorough check to verify proper ventilation and alignment.

Benefits of the New Ventilation Window:

• Improved Protection: The galvanized metal frame and strong mesh keep pests and debris out while allowing proper airflow.

• Enhanced Durability: The use of quality materials ensures the window will withstand the elements for years to come.

• Clean and Professional Appearance: The new window not only functions better but also improves the overall look of the foundation.
