NEEDED MATERIALS & TOOLS
MASONRY/BLOCK WALL CONSTRUCTION
Windows can be installed into a rough masonry opening with or
without a buck.
Without A Buck
The window will be attached directly to the concrete/masonry.
With Buck
This installation
assumes that a building
professional has already
properly fastened and
sealed a framework of
studs (often called a
buck) to the concrete/
masonry wall.
If using a precast sill,
the buck will be installed only on the head and jambs.
STUD FRAMED WALL CONSTRUCTION
The window will be
mounted inside of the
rough opening.
