GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR THE INSTALLATION OF STEEL WINDOWS

These guidelines are meant to be general in nature. They are not intended to supersede or replace the installation instructions provided by the window manufacturer. Please contact the window manufacturer for its specific installation instructions or installation drawings.

CAUTION: Although these guidelines were written with regard for the safety of workers and bystanders, normal safety procedures, codes and regulations take precedence over these guidelines. Consult OSHA codes, local laws and building regulations when working above sidewalks, pathways, or other locations where falling debris may cause injury to people. Use appropriate personal protective equipment (safety glasses, gloves, back brace, etc.) during the window installation to prevent injury. Installer and end user should be aware of pinch points (hinges, latches, moveable vents and all joining parts) to avoid injury.
