Second floor windows French mansard style

We have a French mansard roof at the second floor and for 75%. At the rear there is aluminum siding.
We ordered aluminum windows from GIT because we have a bow window from them and for more unity. Our old windows were sliding, which were not installed correctly and it was impossible to remove and wash them. We decided on casement windows to complete our windows works on the facade, and replaced 6 windows.
When we opened some wood was damaged by water, so some isolation was removed and wood replaced and covered in film. Although it did look bad, once opened from the outside it was finally ok. The company have replaced the grooved aluminum as well since we couldn't recuperate the old one.

Although the roof siding is vertical mostly under at least one window the plywood is damaged. My husband and son replaced some damaged shingles, so we can delay works to next year.






The windows look very nice and much nicer than any around in our neighborhood.
