WINDOW WIDTH:
Overall Window Width = Internal Sub-Frame Width - 10mm
FOR A MECHANICALLY JOINTED SUB-FRAME:
MITRE CUT – Sub-Frame Cill Section Overall Width =
Opening Width + 120mm
SQUARE CUT – Sub-Frame Cill Section
Overall Width = Opening Width

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. |
