Greenhouse Window Installation Instructions

 

Installation Guidelines For New Construction

  1. Frame rough opening equal to window call out size. Rough opening should be plumb, square, and sill should be level. For stucco applications furring strips of at least 3/8" thick, should be used around entire perimeter to allow for proper clearance or optional stucco mold can be purchased, see number 5 below. For special size Tru-FrameŽ Greenhouse Windows the suggested rough opening size is:

    Width 5 1/2" Less Fin to Fin Dimension
    Height 3 3/8" Less Fin to Fin Dimension

  2. Apply the flashing paper in the normal manner. First the sill strip, then the jamb strips. The top flashing goes on after the window is installed and overlaps the top window fin. (see figure 2)

  3. Center the Tru-FrameŽ Greenhouse Window in rough opening allowing equal clearance on both sides and top. Bottom pan should line up with the finished sill height, allowing for any inside additional materials such as tile (see figure 3). Attach window to jambs, sill, and header with screws long enough to penetrate through any furring strips and deep into framing. A ribbon of caulking between the frame and flashing is a must.

  4. For window sizes 5' and larger, support bracing is highly recommended on each end of the window (Warranty could be void without proper support). These supports can be constructed as part of the wall framing or metal support brackets may be fabricated to adequately support the window. Support brackets can be purchased separately from your Tru-FrameŽ Dealer. Fasteners to be supplied by installer (1/4" X 3" Lag screws are suggested for wall mounting). Brackets must attach to the vertical studs below the window. For 8' windows a third support should also be used in the center. (see figure 3)
  5. Optional extruded aluminum stucco molding is cut square to fit around the perimeter of the window. Jamb moldings fit between header and sill moldings. Stucco moldings can be purchased separately from your Tru-FrameŽ Dealer. (See figure 4a, 4b, and 4c)

 

 

Installation Guidelines For Existing Construction

  1. Choose a Tru-FrameŽ Greenhouse Window large enough to fit around your old window. It is perfectly acceptable to have the Tru-FrameŽ Greenhouse Window oversized at top and sides while matching the existing sill height of your old window.

  2. Check the surface around the old window. If there is a smooth continuous level and even plane around it, you can attach the mounting flanges of the Tru-FrameŽ Greenhouse Window directly to this surface. Some home exteriors are simply too uneven to the mount the Tru-FrameŽ Greenhouse Window without first attaching some furring strips at least 3/4" thick. (see figure 2)

  3. Anchor furring strips using a generous bead of caulking with fasteners long enough to penetrate deep into the framing. Be certain to recess the anchoring bolts or screw heads maintaining a smooth continuous surface.
  4. Run a generous bead of caulking around the entire mounting flange where it will meet the mounting surface. With some assistants, raise the window into place. Center the Tru-FrameŽ Greenhouse Window allowing clearance on both sides. Bottom pan should level and line up with your old window sill. Attach window to jambs, sill, and header with screws long enough to penetrate deep into framing. Run a neat bead of caulking around the joint between the flange and the mounting surface. Trim off as desired.
  5. For window sizes 5' and larger, support bracing is highly recommended on each end of the window (Warranty could be void without proper support). These supports can be constructed as part of the wall framing or metal support brackets may be fabricated to adequately support the window. Support brackets can be purchased separately from your Tru-FrameŽ Dealer. Fasteners to supplied by installer (1/4" X 3" Lag screws are suggested for wall mounting). Brackets must attach to the vertical studs below the window. For 8' windows a third support should also be used in the center. (see figure 3)
