SETTING AND FASTENING THE WINDOW

AWNING/CASEMENT

A. Insert the window and center it in the opening to allow

clearance for shimming.
Note: Use of a suction cup on the glass will assist in

handling the window.

Note: Each existing window frame and wall depth will vary

in different applications; therefore there is not a standard

measurement for the overhang of the window frame to

the exterior or for the distance from the interior face of

the window to interior trim. When performing Steps 4B

thru 4D, installing the frame screws, be sure to keep the

distance consistent all around the window.

Note: On the exterior, there must be

enough room for backer rod and 3/8"

sealant bead.

B. Insert shims between the window and

the opening at the top two anchor

hole locations in the window jambs.

Keep shims back 1/2" from interior face of window.

C. Fasten the window near the top of the opening by

driving 2-1/2" long wood screws through the top two

holes at the jambs and into the opening sides.

D. Plumb and square the window.

Insert shims between the window

frame and the rough opening at the

anchor hole locations in the window

frame. Keep shims back 1/2" from

interior face of window.
Note: Install shims per Shim and

Fastener Guide. DO NOT over shim.

E. Check the interior reveal. Make sure

the measurement from the interior

face of the window to the interior face of

the window to the interior face of the wall is

equal at several points around the window.

F. If additional installation holes are needed;

drill a 3/16" installation hole through both

the interior and exterior walls of the frame.

of sash locks with sash strikes. Check and adjust shims as needed. Remove the
