Installation Instructions

Getting a job done on-time and under budget is of critical importance for many contractors and builders. Our product installation guides will help you get it right the first time and every time.

All windows must be installed in prepared openings in accordance with AAMA recommendations and the below-listed manufacturers’ recommendations (If shop drawings are required, please refer to approved shop drawings for installation):

  • All vent panels must be closed and locked.
  • Each unit must be installed level, plumb and square with a 1⁄4” clearance on the jambs and the header of the window.
  • Remove wet plaster, mortar, stucco and cement immediately. (Note: windows should only be cleaned with mild soap and water.)
  • Do not set items on the sill.
  • In nail-on applications, a bead of caulking material should be applied to the inside nail-on fin just before installation to insure a watertight seal between the building and the window. In an equal leg window a bead of caulking material should also be applied.
  • Any attachment screws or bolts should be sealed during the process of installation.
  • After installation is complete, building paper and stucco wire (if a stucco application) should overlap the window nail-on flange.
