Installation Tips

When you are installing windows and doors there are some precautions you should take to ensure that the products will retain their ex-factory condition until installation is complete and the job handed over.

Wideline products usually arrive on the site in a fully finished condition.  However, they can be damaged through careless handling, and are particularly vulnerable when being installed in brick or concrete block construction.

Remember

• Keep wet cement, mortar and brick-cleaning acid from contact with timber and aluminium (particularly if the finish is anodised), before, during and after installation.
• If accidentally splashed, wash off immediately with clean water, otherwise permanent staining or damage may occur.
• Do not use acid to remove mortar stains on window frames.
• Hose down brickwork to remove residual cleaning acid that may leach out and cause damage to the finish later.
• Do not place windows directly onto green concrete slabs.
• Keep the tracks of sliding windows and doors clear of sand and cement droppings.
• Do not use window frames to support planks or temporary scaffolding.
• Clean up when the job is complete with mild detergent and rinse with clean water.
