Illustrated above is a cross-section of a properly installed window:

• Simpson Strong Ties are used to secure the window frame to the building framing.
• Stainless steel screws are used to fasten the Simpson Strong Ties to the window frame and building frame
• Foam Insulating Sealant is applied to the interior seam; silicon is used on the exterior seam
• Building paper and window/door flashing is properly placed on and around the RO (rough opening)

Use Simpson Strap Tie #MSTC28, or the strap tie specified by your European Architectural Supply representative. Consult with your EAS representative to determine the number of ties used and spacing.

• Building paper and window/door flashing should be on and around the RO per manufacturer's specifications
• The Simpson Strap is first screwed to the window frame.
• Next, the window is placed into the RO and is shimmed plumb, level and square.
• The Simpson Strap Ties are bent into the interior framing and then screwed into place.
• Once the window is plumb, level and secure, foam-seal the interior seams and silicon the exterior seams
• All units are fully finished: All the wood surfaces you see are the final finish. They should be protected from paints, stucco, drywall dust, and debris created by other trades working nearby.
