Window Installation
Behind the Scenes - Loft Conversion

1) The window is rated for use on a high-rise building. Removing the glass frames makes installation much easier.
|
|
2) Keep these in a safe place during installation! These thermal panes cost around $200.00 each.
|
|
3) The drip edge is cut to match the beautiful arched brick work on the exterior.
|

 |
4) Fasten the harness, organize the tools, and it's time to test your fear of heights.
|
|
5) Removal of the temporary closure must be done with extreme care.
|
|
6) With a little help from the inside, all goes well. Now for the window frame...
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
7) The crew used a thick adhesive strip to "glue" the bottom of the window frame to the granite sill.
|
|
8) It is self adhesive and the weight of the window will seal out the elements.
|
|
9) Using masonry screws the frame can be fastened through the pre-drilled anchor holes.
|
 |
|
 |
|
 |
10) A thick bead of heavy duty caulking on the exterior will seal up the rest of the exposed areas.
|
|
11) Once the frame is in place the window panels can be reinstalled.
|
|
12) These energy efficient thermal pane windows are a beautiful addition to the loft project!
