Resolve structure first

The header, jambs, sill support and anchors must suit the opening, unit weight, operation and project loads.

Connect the sill to water management

Pans, membranes, slopes, drainage, sealants, counter joints and exterior finishes should form one deliberate path.

Plan the handling sequence

Confirm crate size, unloading, carry path, lifting equipment, floor protection, frame assembly and safe glazing or sash installation.

Commission the opening

Cycle the sash or every panel, verify locks, seals, screens, controls, limit settings, head clearance, drainage and perimeter finish.

Turn the guide into a real opening schedule.

Keep every dimension, option, pressure, document, and delivery note connected to the same opening ID.

Start the configuration
