Attached are JELD-WEN’srecommended installation instructions for aluminum windows without anailing fin (including finless, flush fin and flange). Read these instructionsthoroughly before beginning. They are designed to work in most existingapplications, however; existing conditions may require changes to theseinstructions. If changes are needed, they are made at the installer’s risk.For installations other than indicated in these instructions, contact abuilding professional.Newer construction methods have led to an increase in air and watertightness in buildings. This frequently leads to negative air pressureinside the home, which can draw water through very small openings. Ourinstallation method creates an air seal on the interior, integrating thewindow with the rough opening.Important Information & GlossaryNot all window types may be installed into every wall condition in allareas. Consult your local building code official for applicable buildingcodes and regulations. Local building code requirements supersederecommended installation instructions.Note! Installations where the sill is higher than 35 feet above groundlevel, or any product installation into a wall condition not specificallyaddressed in these instructions, must be designed by an architect orstructural engineer.Failure to install windows into square, level, and plumb openings couldresult in denial of warranty claims for operational or performanceproblems.Note to Installer: Provide a copy of these instructions to the buildingowner.
