Cavi-Mate EPS Window installation
Window Manufacture
Manufacture the PVC-U window to conventional standards and check overall sizes remembering that the working cavity between the inside of the sub-frame and the outside of the window is 5mm ±2mm per side.

When satisfied that window sizes are correct, screw the jamb clip to the outer frame jamb 150-250mm from each corner and a maximum pitch of 600mm. There should be a minimum 2 clips per jamb member positioned on the outer
frame as shown below:

NOTE: Attention is required when handling the jamb clip – as the serrated edges can be sharp. It is recommended that suitable gloves are used when installing this component.

Sizes and Tolerances
To achieve trouble free window installation it is essential that the sub-frame is manufactured to within the tolerances specified below, that the corners are jointed square and that misalignment of the sub-frame is kept to a minimum both during manufacture and during construction on site. Cavi-Mate EPS has been designed on an installed space between window and sub-frame of 5mm ±2mm per side, and so attention to detail is important. Remember the tolerance of±2mm has to be shared between the sub-frame actual sizes and the window actual size.
