Instructions / Assembly

JELD-WEN does not endorse the installation of our products
into a barrier type install system unless a sill pan is present,
incorporated with through-wall ashing and can drain to the
exterior (along with other “required” components). Failure to
do so may result in the denial of any warranty claims.

windows and apply only to windows with a horizontal at sill. Installations
where the sill is higher than 35 feet above ground level must be designed
by an architect or structural engineer. Failure to install windows into
square, level and plumb openings could result in denial of warranty claims
for operational or performanceproblems.
