Needed Materials
Note! JELD-WEN exterior window and door products should be
installed in accordance with JELD-WEN’s recommended installation

installation methods and ashing systems may be utilized at
the installer’s or owner’s discretion and, in such situations the
installation should be done in accordance with the ashing
manufacturer’s instructions. Follow all material manufacturer’s

MATERIALS AND TOOLS
REMOVE PACKAGING AND INSPECT WINDOW
1
Remove Packaging
Remove shipping materials such as corner covers, shipping blocks or pads.
If there is a protective lm on the glass, do not remove it until installation
and construction are complete. Cut off any staple legs exposed on the side
of theframe.
Note! Double-hung windows may have banding on the interior of the
unit. Do not remove until the window is secured in the opening to help
keep the sash in place and the unit square.
Inspect Window
• Cosmetic damage.
• Product squareness (diagonal measurements not more than
1/4"different).
• Correct product (size, color, grid pattern, handing, glazing,
energy-efciency requirements, etc.).
• Drip cap that extends the length of the exterior trim plus 1/8" overhang
on each end (all units require a drip cap); drip cap may or may not be
pre-installed.
• Splits, cracks, holes, missing sections or other damage to the nailing n
longer than 6" and/or within 1/2" of window frame.
• If any of the above conditions represent a concern, or if you expect
environmental conditions to exceed the window’s performance
rating, do not install the window. Contact your dealer or distributor
forrecommendations.
