Great job Roger! Thanks for featuring one of our Aluminium window ranges and its great to see such a thorough professional install.....for Korniche lanterns - Korniche Bifolds - Windows & Doors - we would appreciate the opportunity to quote you and save you some £££!
Bloody hell Roger you always look the part. I always treat you guys as gospel building practice but I do wonder sometime. Not this video but past ones on same project. That being said would love to share a Labbats with you on the Isle of Man. Always welcome. Can’t be bothered doing any videos etc but very busy over here. All the best
I put a thermal block all the way around my window reveals and sat the windows on that and then I taped up all the seams with Tescon Vana tape for maximum air tightness. The thermal block act as a thermal block and stop/reduce the cold working its way into the windows from the brickwork. Should be a must in any installation now.
A tip for you Roger, get yourself a gasket roller and you'll find wedging up a lot faster and easier as you can press down and then use the pointed end to really push the ends into the corners, you can also roll into the corner you started from and avoid stretching the gasket if its not corded
Thanks I had one but somebody stole it, was it you?
and soapy water the gasket will fly in
and suckers to install the glass so you dont trap your fingers underneath a 50kg unit
@@gavinstone3769 that's what she said
Pre-gasketed beads will be the thing of the future👌🏼 Stellar Aluminium do them, & it wont be long until the other companies follow suit.
Is there an episode 8?
Wow.. Brilliant 🥳🥳🥳
through the thermal break : OAKWOOD GARDEN ROOMS
Couple of thing I'd advise against bedding down on wet cement especially if not packed up with blocks or packers as your relying on just the fixing to hold a fair weight especially when glazed . If you have a nice tight gap between bottomand top of windows and no packing is required a bed of spray foam under the cill is a great way to seal underneath of the window cill . Also when fitting the cill only seal where the window frame sits so about 45mm from very back of cill forward then do all your fixing and get the dust out if the way as it makes silicone look horrendous. Soon as frames all fixed and after cleaning down finish your silicone work .
*sill
@@cosmoguzaldo439 can be spelt both ways
I generally bed onto mortar, just the way I've always done it, both ways are fine. Main point that was missed was to dam up the cill either end to stop water ingress into brickwork. Also I'd put gasket in in one continuous loop notching the corners, and always pushing more gasket in because it will always shrink. Silcone over heads of screws in the cill.
Love all the skillbuilder vids, keep it up....hope you didn't mind my reply I'm just nit picking ;)
@@markgamester good advice with the installation process 👌
Cosmo. Check the dictionary both spellings are correct
i like a 5mm gap all around to foam
3.23 that bolt spun and never got a good fixing
It doesn't need it. The bolts prevent sideways movement not pull out
@@SkillBuilderthe bolt is to tighten the fram agains the packer you put in, if the bolts are loose an are only to prevent sideway movement then the whole window will move around so surely that bolt is supposed to be tight not loose.
If that's the only thing that's gone awry it's still a good job in my books 🤷🏻
@@alexcharles321 if you think thats a good job please remind me to never let you do a job for me 👍🏻
Beautiful stuff that Rog but wasn’t any feb in that muck 🤢😆.
Also have you been roughing it in there , I noticed the blow up bed 🛏🤨🧱👍🏼
There was a bit of plasticiser but it dried out a bit. Jubi got reckless with the water. The bed is mine since my wife kicked me out
@@SkillBuilder 😆😆🧱👍🏽
I'm not a fan of aluminium frames, I think flush fitting PVC & Timber is so much more attractive and they both perform so much better thermally than aluminium. I thought back gasketing was a thing of the past! I do see the current aluminium thing as a bit of a fad.
Did you use wall plugs in your drill holes or just a special type of screw ?
They are self tapping masonry screws
The DPC at the end does that fold under the actual window frame or did you cut it at the top of the cill then apply the silicone? What is the purpose of the thermal break ?
Thermal break is to stop heat transfer in the frame
@@gareththomas6426 Thanks
Did you put frame in with cement still soaking wet?
It wasn't my plan. A bloke with a bucket of water
The thermal break is there for a reason isn’t it? Putting a metal screw through it and into the wall is gonna impact thermal performance I’d have thought. Might not seem a lot but thermal bridges add up to significant heat loss on a well insulated property, even if it’s only 8 or 16 screws per window
The srew is in the thermal break so it touches neither the inner or the outer.
I was told by the local double glazing company that you have to be a member of the glass and glazing federation to fit windows. Or inform building control and pay for an inspection.
It is FENSA that gives the approval. You are right about the approval but this is not a heated building so it doesn't apply
I bet you do. A right money spinner I'm sure
Why dpm just in the corners? Genuine question not criticism
The bottom plate; Is this sill or threshold?
sill, he said it at least twice
@@18199 yeah, you are right but technically, it is Threshold in literature that's why I was asking.
As long as you seal it and its stable you can put it on a scaffold board. What I am saying is that it's just aesthetics. As long as its level and sealed
Mmm detail of this installation apart - I’m wondering how you can mechanically fix the bottom of a window without puncturing whatever waterproof membrane you have under it. In the video they screw through the dpc for instance … In my case I’ve got a Upvc window going into a timber frame opening -
Membrane - external plastic cladding, and my architect says building control will expect a lead window tray to act as flashing to the cladding - but if we fire screws through it - what’s the point ? My window guy says “I’ll put a dollop of ct1
/
Sikafix under the screw that’ll be fine!”’ Doesn’t sound right to me. Any ideas anyone ? With modern windows can you just mechanically fix the sides and top ?
dont fix the bottom if it is a short window. If not then a dollop of silicone over the screw head is enough CT1 is even better
Personally I wouldn't drill through the drainage channel and fix through the thermal break. Water runs into that channel and escapes into the drainage hole's! Asking for trouble!
Also, if you're building frame work, put timbers under the frame so it doesn't scratch it 🤭
Just read the title wrong😆. Thought you suddenly made a video about installing Windows. (95/XP/Vista)
You are ancient as we are up to Windows 11.
@@knowitall6677 🤗
Know it All.
Don't install Windows 11 until 12 comes out
Did you put the glass on 'Bridge Packers', very important?.....also no eye and ear protection!
Yes the glass is on packers so it drains
Is that Dan brother ?
I thought the same!
Anne
That is the inbred Essex look
I noticed some inflatable mattresses on the lawn, are you guys sleeping on site or is a cheap fall arrest you have made up?
It is not a fall arrest it is an impact reduction device
I prefer Linux
Dan's aged a bit?
always makes me laugh when I see people trying to Hold a frame plumb and fix it. cut some nice fine folding wedges and plumb the frame up with them, then free to fix and frame lovely and plumb!
Good tip
So many things wrong with that installation
Maybe expand on that thought to help educate because just saying "that's rubbish" isn't helpful at all
Please expand on your point, many thanks
Firstly setting the cill directly into mortar is a big no as an isolator should be used to prevent bi-matalic corrosion as the lime will corrode the paint and eventually eat away at the aluminium. Fixing through the thermal break is not correct as this will fatigue with expansion and contraction of the frame during hot and cold conditions. The aluminium will expand 1mm per meter so has a lot of movement. The cill should have the end of the profile damed with a low modulus silicone sealant to prevent water escaping to the internal finish. The wedge gasket should be sealed at all joints as this is the primary air seal. Just a couple of points for future installations.
@@scottgr1972 yeah but apart from that a good job eh
First, Yay
Yeeey
Yeeeey
71st
Second
Builders fitting windows 🤦
So much wrong with this. For starters shouldn't bed the cill on sand and cement can cause cold bridging regardless of the thermal break, should be a line of silicone and packers to level.
That is really funny.
That does not look so skillful,,,
