Basic Rules to Assembling Window Frames
• Make certain that the window is properly flashed in
accordance with local building code requirements. PVC
trim is intended to be aesthetic and not part of the water
resistant system.
• It is recommended that the window frame be assembled
prior to the installation around the window. Joints should
be glued and screwed together. Pocket screws should be
used where possible.
• Measure the width and height of the window. Add 1/8” to
both measurements. This will leave 1/16” spacing around
the perimeter of the window to allow for expansion and
contraction of the frame.
• Fasten the frame to the wall using fasteners outlined on
page 8.
