HOW TO INSTALL ALUMINIUM WINDOWS
All Installation of windows & Doors are to be conducted in accordance with Australian Standard AS 2047.
The attached EZ Windows Window installation guide covers numerous construction styles and can be used as a guide for window installation.
Suggested installation steps:
- If flashing is required fit the flashing to sill (bottom of window.
- Fit shims on sill plate / slab on meeting stile or mullion centre line and at 450mm maximum centres. Ensure all shims are level.
- Install the window or door frame into the opening using the correct fixings and spacing.
- Fit shims on jambs making sure that the frame is plumb and square, measure frame across diagonals to check for square.
- Fix the frame to structure by nailing through timber reveals. Make sure that the frame is not twisted. Alternative – On solid brick construction fit galvanised M.S. building-in lugs at 450mm maximum centres.
- Ensure that head, sill and/or jamb are not dished or bowed during installation.
- Make sure the sill reveal is fully supported, if necessary use additional shims. Failure to do so may result in problems with sash operation.
- Cement mortar or render droppings can permanently damage aluminium finish. Remove them immediately.
- It is recommended to eave at least 10mm gap between sill brick and frame to allow for possible future building settlement.
- In a brick veneer construction it is recommended that there should be at least a 12mm gap between timber header and aluminium frame.
- Aluminium windows are not designed to support eave linings.
