system, giving them a clean, all glass appearance. They can be produced in
2" increments, so they'll fit any size opening and can include fresh-air
vents and dryer vents. |
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.
