With an unwavering commitment to being the best out here, Build Rite LLC is happy to offer a new range of European styled windows that also come with installation.
These are some pretty common questions that we get from our cutomers all the time about the windows and their installation.
Are European windows and doors delivered fully assembled?
For the majority of our European window and door systems, we deliver fully-assembled units that are ready for installation into your home or building.
What do I need to consider when fixing the windows in the opening?
As with any window, European windows and doors should be level, plumb, and square before being secured in the opening. As customers tend to open tilt and turn windows and lift and slide doors more regularly than other products due to their ease of operation, it’s even more important for European windows and doors to be fully aligned in the opening.
How does waterproofing and thermal insulation of European windows and doors work?
Waterproofing and thermal insulation procedures might vary depending on construction method and how a window or door is installed in the opening (flush with the outside wall, recessed in the opening, etc.).
However, the most common method on a new 2-by-4 or 2-by-6 wood frame building is installing the window flush with the external sheathing, using tape to cover the gap between the window frame and sheathing. The siding is later extended over the window frame to cover the tape.
How much tape do I need for installing windows and doors?
For installing windows and doors, you need at least enough tape to cover the perimeter of each window and door, plus an extra 10% for extending the tape vertically beyond the frame and overlapping tape in the corners. The perimeter is equivalent to the linear feet of all windows and doors and will be shown on most quotes.
Construction won’t be completed when the windows get installed. Do I have to worry about the handles and window surfaces?
If you want to protect the element and its handles during the construction phase, Build Rite LLC delivers all windows and doors with protective tape and removed handles. Once construction is completed, the handles can be installed in less than a minute.
After construction is complete, the protective tape can easily be removed from the surface of window and door elements. Make sure to remove the tape within 3 to 4 months at the latest to avoid glue residue and discoloration.
Build Rite LLC stands at the top of the construction industry, setting new standards with our exceptional windows. As more architects, builders, and homeowners seek not just functional but beautiful and sustainable solutions, Build Rite LLC is and will remain a trusted partner in bringing visions to life.
