Fit packers at the screw points to fill any gap between the wall and the frame.2. Drill through the frame and packer deep enough to allow 25mm of fixing engagement into the buildingstructure (it is recommended to allow 50mm). Offset these drill holes (across the depth of the frame) toprovide a more solid fixing and prevent twisting.3. Fit a suitable fixing plug into the building structure and fit the screw.4. Check the frame is true, plumb and has no twisting.5. Repair any damage to the coating using the process described in the recoating section of Windows and DoorsOwner’s Manual.StrapsIf requried apply the foam according to the fixing specification method you have chosen and the manufacturer’sinstructions.

A backing rod should be applied first which gives the mastic a surface to adhereto and prevents it falling into the cavity.1. Select straps suitable for external installation of windows and doors that are the correct specification for thesize and weight of the product.2. Fix the straps to the frame at intervals as defined above, predrilling the frame for each screw. Ensure that thefixing points line up with a sound part of the building structure and do not line up with mortar joints or otherweak points.3. Fit a suitable fixing plug into the building structure and fit the screw.4. Check the frame is true, plumb and has no twisting.5. Repair any damage to the coating using the process described in the recoating section of the Windows andDoors Owner’s Manual.RECOMMENDED PRODUCT: We recommend Silkaflex-Pro 2 HP or Remmers MS150 for our products.Fit trimsThe window or door is now ready to be finished with any required trims.
