🏗️ Professional Window Installation

The script outlines a professional method for installing windows in new buildings, adhering to regulations such as the installation guidelines under Dean 18355. It emphasizes the importance of preparation, including a general soil test and cleaning the soffit to remove dust and loose parts. The dimensions of the unfinished state are verified, and a reference marker is applied. The script details the use of the BlauGep multifunctional tape trio STL 600, which must be attached to the window profile with extra length set at the end to ensure corners are filled. The window element is temporarily fixed in position, and spacer blocks are used for load transfer as per guidelines. The script also covers sealing the connection to the floor using PlowGet all-weather foil, priming the soffit, cutting the foil to size with overlaps, and using blow gap foam for the lower joint. Finally, the inner side of the joint is sealed with BlauGep foil duo SL 1050 power plus, with a recommendation to form corners separately for a professional finish.

🔩 Securing and Sealing the Window Frame

This paragraph describes the process of securing the window element using BlauGep frame screws after leveling and plumbing checks. It specifies the need to drill holes according to substrate requirements and installation guidelines, selecting screws of appropriate length, and avoiding over-tightening to prevent frame bulging. The foil is attached to the masonry by self-adhesion, starting from the corners after removing the protective film and pressing with a roller. The lower joint is sealed with the foil, and the joints are packed with blow gap foam. The outer side is sealed using the BlauGep foil duo SL 1050 power one, which is fully adhesive on one side. The script also covers the installation of a window in accordance with the ETB guideline components, providing fall arrest protection, and referencing Dean 18008 part four for fastening spacings. It details the attachment of the BlauGep multifunctional tape trio STL 600, making holes for protection, and fastening the blacket protect at the fastening points using an integrated adjusting screw and a cordless screwdriver.

It describes preparing the window for the outer sealing joint with masking tape and priming the soffit for a wet ceiling. The window element is temporarily positioned, and spacer blocks are used for load transfer and level adjustment. The element is fastened using BlauGep frame screws, and the joint is back-filled with cord round three sides. Sealant is applied and smoothed out using a stopping knife. The outer side is sealed with the BlauGep foil outside, and the window sill is installed after alignment. The script also mentions the use of BlauGep hybrid polymer power fix to avoid the need for holding down clamps and sound deadening strips while protecting the window sill.
