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.

Fastener Guide. DO NOT over shim.

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.
