installing Windows

Installing windows is a process that needs to be done with care and accuracy. The windows are usually easily damaged and fragile and cost quiet a lot of money so they must be taken care of.
There are different ways windows are installed, such as installing them to a timber frame or to brickwork in a building. Before you start work you should have a plan of what windows are to be installed, as well as that you should have all your tools ready and in good working order ready to be used.
Before any installation goes forwad, you must prepare the area were you will be working. Ensure your timbers/brick work is clean from debris, rubble and stray nails. This will help ensure a clean fast process. Ensure you clean the floor space around you as well because you want to avoid any personal inuries.
Once your area is prepared to be worked on, you can get your tool belt on and get your window ready. It helps if you have another person to help with this process.
The window opening should be made to suit 30mm larger than the window in length and width. So when you sit your window on the sill, you can place packer/s to lift the window up to a level postion. The window style should also be made to pertrude 10mm of the fame if being placed in to suit 10mm plaster.
Then you can pre-drill your widow style, drilling holes in the side so the frame can be fixed to the frame or brickwork. If required use a straight edge or string line to straighten your frame. Never place packers under the top of the window as this can get pressure and cause the window to crack.
Once you have completed the task competently, you can start to clean your area and pack away your tools. When packing away your tools you must ensure everything is packed away neatly, safely and in its appropriate place. Also free any tools of any debris or unwanted material that may cause damage or faults with your equipment. Once your tools are packed away you can start cleaning the site. This means removing any rubbish and unwanted materials and putting it in the bin, then sweep up so the job looks presentable to the client.
