of the aluminum frames, contractors involved shall cover the said frames with polyethylene sheets or any
protective sheets to avoid damage to the installed materials. Fabricated aluminum and glazing products will be
delivered in complete sets of good quality, and shall be delivered to site pre-cut, pre-notched, bracketed for
both vertical and horizontal frames connection and covered with protective tapes. Fabrication will be
supervised and instructed. A temporary staging area must be made available to site where to offload deliveries
and from which distribution can be made.

Window Installation

Verify the opening dimension and angles and levels from finish floor line reference to ensure that
frames fit the openings. Align and fit the door in frame to each desired location and elevation.
Fix door frames by anchor bolts located as per approved shop drawings and to be covered by wood
caps later.
Install, align, and fit the doors in frames with uniform clearance and bevel to provide 3mm at heads,

 Removal of existing windows

The existing widow frame can then be removed from the wall; this will be done by removing
the frame fixings where accessible and then by cutting through the frame using a
reciprocating and levering the framework from the wall with a wrecking/pry bar.
The old windows and frames will be carried by hand from the property to the waste skips to
be removed from site and disposed of via licensed waste carried for disposal at a licensed
waste site. All broken glass will be placed into heavy duty waste sacks and care will be taken
to avoid overloading and puncturing the sides of the bags.
 Care must however be exercised when handling glass and care must be taken avoid breaking
the glass as this increases the risks of injury.
Prior to the fitting of the new window and window frame, the walls must be checked to
ensure that they are sound and that any old fixings have been removed and disposed of were
sections of the

wall have been damaged or are not suitable, the area should be made good or alternative
fixings used.
Clean the area and prepare the recess for the installation of the new windows. Fit the new
window frame into position, ensuring a tight fit and ensuring that the frame is plumb and
square.
Use packers where necessary to secure the frame in position and then drill through the frame
into the masonry wall for the frame fixings. A minimum of 2 frame fixings should be used on
each element of the window frame, though for long windows additional fixings will be
required.
Once the frame fixings have been inserted and securely fixed /tightened, the back of the frame
should be filled with expanding foam to provide added protection against the weather, water
ingress and from unwanted noise.
Once the windows and frames have been installed, the glazing units can be inserted. Each unit
should be installed and secured into position with the appropriate beading/seals. The glazed
panels can then be carefully lifted into position, cut resistant grip gloves should be always
worn when lifting glazed units and for large panels a minimum of 2 persons should be used to
lift and secure the panels in place. The use of suction lifters should also be used to provide a
safe and secure grip when lifting large and heavy glass panels/units.
The window frame should then be trimmed and sealed both internally and externally and the
area is made good.
Upon completion of the work, UOID will remove all rubbish, scrap and waste
materials/packaging from the premises and dispose of appropriately. Thoroughly vacuum and
clean through the area and all transit routes leaving the property in a clean and tidy state.
Care must be taken to ensure that the glass is not broken and that when handling glass and
windows, that appropriate cut resistant gloves always worn.
At the end of each working day, a check is to be made to ensure that all waste has been
removed from the site and placed into the appropriate waste containers/skips and that the site
is left in a clean and tidy state.

Delivery & storage

Delivery:

Before delivery the windows and their various components should be fully protected to ensure the
components remain in good condition until they are ready for installation.

All materials for delivery should be verified against the quantity and batch number stated in the
delivery order. All the required accessories, including friction stays, handles, locking devices,
fixing etc. should be delivered together with the main components.

Upon delivery on site, the materials should be checked for damages during transportation and that
the delivered materials are in compliance with the specifications. Any damage or incorrect
materials should be returned to the factory.

Storage:

Delivery of materials should be carefully planned according to the installation schedule so that the
only the required quantity of materials are stored on site, where the possibility of damage is
higher.
 HOUSEKEEPING OF THE AREA
