EASY TO INSTALL


     

To make sure your new window will fit properly, measure the window opening as if the frame were already removed. you will need a space of approximately 1/4" to 1" all the way around the perimeter for mortar.

Remove the window sash and then remove the window frame by bending the top and bottom in toward the center or by cutting it. Remove the old mortar sill if necessary.

Set the new window into place on top of 2 wedges, check that it is plumb and level, then secure it with 2 wedges at the top. If you are installing a vented window, the vent latch should be located on the inside atthe top.

Mix the mortar according to the instructions on the bag. Apply the mortar around the perimeter using a grout bag or trowel. Make sure the joints are completely full.

When installing into wood frames wall ties should be nailed into the frame prior to setting the window to give the mortar a better grip. Tool the mortar back approximately 1/4" from the outside face of the glass block, then apply caulking between the glass block and the wood frame.

These are general instructions, due to variations in window construction your installation may differ.
