Introduction
The purpose of this manual is to provide a detailed and comprehensive set of installation instructions for our
residential window and door products.
Non-compliance
Builders and installers who choose not to follow these instructions will take full responsibility for their
installation methods in relation to, but not limited to, the following:
 the ability of the installation to resist all weather elements

 the long-term weather performance of the installation
 the ability of the installation to cope with building movement, both structural and material
 the compatibility of different construction materials including sealants
 the long term durability and integrity of external seals (degradation of seals can occur after lengthy
exposure to the elements and UV rays)
Please Note
 Fixing centres have not been included as these should be engineered on a site-by-site basis and fall
within the builder's scope of works.
 All frame depths have been rounded up to the nearest whole mm, ie. 47.5mm to 48mm and
101.5mm to 102mm.
