Pre-Installation Requirements
Essential Tools & Equipment:
- Spirit level and measuring tape
- Hammer drill with appropriate masonry bits (for brick/block) or metal drill bits (for steel frames)
- Socket set and spanners
- Screwdriver set (Phillips and flathead)
- Safety glasses and dust mask
- Stepladder or access platform
Substrate Assessment:
Secure fixing requires:
- Brick/Block Walls: Minimum 100mm embedment depth with resin anchors or expansion bolts
- Steel Frames: Through-bolting with appropriate grade fixings
- Timber Frames: Coach screws to structural timber (not suitable for all applications)
- Weak Substrates: May require reinforcement—consult a structural engineer
Installation Process Overview
1. Site Preparation
- Verify opening dimensions match order specifications
- Check substrate condition and load-bearing capacity
- Ensure adequate clearance for sash operation and bunch width (approximately 15% of overall width)
- Clear the work area and protect flooring/surfaces
- Unpack all components and verify against delivery note
- Pre-assemble track sections if supplied in multiple pieces (widths over 4000mm)
- Check all fixings, brackets, and components are present
- Position top track using temporary supports
- Use spirit level to ensure perfect horizontal alignment—critical for smooth operation
- Mark all fixing positions through pre-drilled holes in framework
- For face-fixed installations, ensure fixing frame is plumb and square
- Drill pilot holes to correct depth for substrate type
- Install fixings progressively, checking alignment after each fixing
- Torque fixings to manufacturer's specifications - avoid over-tightening
- Ensure minimum fixing centres are maintained (typically 400-600mm)
- Attach sash carrier wheels to top track
- Guide lattice sash into track system
- For larger installations, sections may require on-site joining with provided fixings
- Install lock posts and slam posts according to configuration
- Adjust multi-point locking to ensure smooth engagement
- Test lock operation through full cycle
- Check sash slides smoothly across full width
- Adjust carrier wheels if binding or resistance occurs
- Verify locking engagement is secure
- Test bottom track (if folding option specified)
Installation Considerations
- Must comply with LPS 1175 installation requirements
- All fixings must meet specified security standards
- Installation certificate may be required for insurance purposes
- Substrate must provide adequate resistance—certification is void if installation is compromised
Hinge-Aside & Folding Track Options:
- Out-of-Square Openings: May require packing or shimming—check diagonals before fixing
- Uneven Floors: Particularly affects bottom track alignment—may require floor preparation
- Restricted Access: Consider installation sequence for narrow doorways or difficult access
- Overlapping Windows/Doors: Plan sash stacking location to avoid operational conflicts
Post-Installation
-
Remove all protective coverings and packaging
- Clean lattice and tracks with mild detergent
