|
in different applications; therefore there is not a standard |
|
measurement for the overhang of the window frame to |
|
the exterior or for the distance from the interior face of the |
|
window to interior trim. When performing Steps 4B thru 4D, | 4M NOTE |
installing the frame screws, be sure to keep the distance | |
consistent all around the window. |
