After completion of all the wet trades around the window opening, the main frame is then fixed onto the concrete wall or brick wall by the fixing lug the center to center is 400 - 600mm along with the main frame Prior to fixing the main frame, should be checked for any physical damages
The opening structure frame should be cleaned and clear of dust and
debris Dust and debris accumulated in the open structure and the frame
could affect the alignment and fixing of the main frame It may also cause
blockage to the weep holes, resulting in overflow of incidental water into
the interior
The installation of main frame should be carried out only by trained and approved contractors
registered in Contractor Registry under work head as shown in Figure 1
Trang 14a) Fitting the main frame onto open structure b) Fitting the finishing trim Millet should be used
to knock the finishing trim in place
Figure 1 : Installation of main frame
5.2.2 Fixing Lug system (Installation of frame on brick wall)
Before installation of the window frame, the following Wall opening should be hacked for any physical defects Any defects should be rectified before installation proceeds; Wall opening should be cleaned and wetted as shown in Figure 2
Window frame should be checked for any damages, and should come with the correct number / spacing
of galvanized straps (Figure 3) Defective frames should be replaced

Figure 7: Fixing of window frame
• Installation of frame on precast and cast-in situ RC walls
The fixing plate system can also be used on precast and cast-in situ RC walls which are finished with skim coat The fixing plate system fix to the RC by impact plastic screw M5x30 mm In such cases, recesses of 20mm deep (as shown in Figure 8) should be provided to accommodate the installation of the straps/brackets These recesses should be provided during the casting of the RC walls and in accordance with the specified spacing of the straps / brackets
Another method for fixing the frame to skim-coated precast or in-situ RC wall is to anchor the frame
to the concrete wall A bottom frame is installed on the bottom edge of the wall opening Proper alignment and levellness must be verified before sealant is used to seal the gap between the wall and the bottom frame to ensure water tightness at this location
The window main frame is then held in place with in the wall opening using timber wedges, and checked for alignment, plumb and squareness Next, the frame is fixed to the wall using anchors
of adequate size and length required to support the size and weight of the window system
Figure 8: Recesses formed in RC wall to accommodate the straps/bracket
Trang 19The gaps between the window frame and wall must be properly sealed to
prevent water see page at these locations Depending on the size of the gap, waterproof grouting or sealant can be used
Application of Weather Sealant
Sealant could be used to seal the gap between wall and window frame if the gap size is between 10mm
7-Before the application of sealant, clean the aluminum window
frame with white spiritusing a clean rag
The frame and wall surfaces around the gap should be protected
with masking tape to prevent the sealant from staining these
surfaces and to obtain a neat
Backerod should be used to achive better compactness of the
applied sealant
To obtain a complete seal, apply sealant by pushing the bead
forward
into the joint cavity
The joint should have continuous caulking to ensure that all areas
are filled
Remove the excess sealant and tool the joint to achieve a smooth
surface
• Grouting (using cement)
Gap between 11-25mm could be sealed by grouting Before commencing the grouting work, it is important to check that the protective tape on the window frame is intact Any damaged or loose
Figure 10: Application of sealant
Trang 20protective tape must be replaced to prevent staining to the frame
Wall surface to receive the grout should be
cleaned with water to remove any dust and loose
particles and to minimize water absorption from
the grout by the masonry wall Non-shrink grout
should be used to prevent cracks and water
seepage around the window
For better performance, the mortar mix ratio
should be 1 part of water to 3 parts of mortar and
add the admixture sika latex
Approved waterproofing compound could be
added to the mortar mix to enhance the
watertightness performance of the grout
Water proof cement grouting should be used to prevent cracks and water seepage around the window For better performance, the mortar mix ratio should be 1 part of water to 3 parts of mortar and add the admixture Sika Latex Approved waterproofing compound could be added to the mortar mix to enhance the watertightness performance of the grout
Timber strip could be used to provide a firm backing during grouting to enhance compactness
of the grout as shown in Figure 12
a) Mortar mixed with water proofing compound b) Use of suitable grouting gun
c) Use of timber strip as backing d) Tooling the grout to give a neat surface
Figure 12 : For effective grouting, a suitable grouting gun should be used
Allow the grouting to cure for 2-3 days, and visual check for any defect such as cracks and voids Any defect should be rectified before proceeding to the next stage of work
Figure 11: Clean surface to get rid of dust and particles
Trang 21It is recommended that glazing work for inner glass panels be carried out in the factory, where higher work quality can be achieved Where this is not possible, glazing work must be carried out
on site with proper handling and good workmanship
For fixed glass panels, glazing is usually done on site This section will discuss the good practices
to be adopted when carrying out glazing works on site
a Preparatory works before glazing
The protective tapes should only be removed when glazing works is to be carried out
The following verification works should be carried out prior to glazing work:
Window
frame
• Inner frame and associated hardware should be checked for defects Damaged frames or hardware should be replaced
• Inner frame should be cleaned and free from dust and debris
• Weep holes in the inner frames should be cleared of blockage to allow discharge of incidental water
Trang 22b Glazing of glass to inner
There are generally two installation arrangements of casement and top hung/ bottom hung windows
Glazing can be carried out either before or after the inner frame is installed onto the main frame The glazing process is similar for both arrangements
However, extra care should be exercised when carrying out glazing work on inner frame
which has already been fixed onto the outer frame, with emphasis placed on safety of the workers
Glass
Panel
• Compliance with physical specifications such as dimensions of panel
• Labels on the glass panels should be checked against the window schedule
• For Heat strengthen/tempered/
laminated glass, check for the associated logo / trade mark/ label
• The orientation of the glass panels should be standardised such that the positioning of these
Gasket
• Gasket should be checked for any physical damages Defective gasket should not be used
• Gasket should be free from dust and dirt to ensure good grip onto the frame and beadings
• Profile of the gaskets should be compatible with that of the beads used to secure the glass panels
Trang 23are normally used to temporarily hold the glass panel in place
a) Inserting glass panel onto the window frame b) Spacer blocks to hold the glass panel in place
Figure 13 : Glazing of glass into the inner
Gasket used should be of a continuous length, and between the glass panel and the inner frame to obtain a good fitting to hold the glass panel in place and to prevenet water seepage (figure 14)
a) Estimate the length of the gasket required b) Splice the gasket to fit the corners of the glass
Figure 14 : Installation of gasket
The glass panel is then secured in position using
aluminum beads The profile of the beads should be
verified for compatibility with the gasket used Millet
or the back of rubberized screwdriver can be used to
knock the beadings in place Poorly fitted beading will
result in gaps and misalignment of joints
c)Tooling the gasket in place
Trang 24a) For glazing before installation of inner panel b) For glazing after the installation of inner panel
Figure 15: Securing the glass panel with beadings
After the installation of beadings, the gap between the accordance with the specifications The frame and glass should be protected with masking tapes prior to sealant application A simple tool as shown in Figure 16 can be used to give a neat finish The masking tape should only be removed after the sealant is dry
Figure 16: Application of sealant
5.2.5 Installation of window inner frame
a Casement / top hung windows
The inner frame of casement window is fixed to the main frame using friction stays
The friction stays should be fixed using adequate number of stainless steel screws or rivets of
surfficient size, depending on the size and weight of the inner frame For better watertightness, seal heads
