5.Do not leave windows in direct sunlight when wrapped.

ROUGH OPENING PREPARATION

1.Make certain the rough opening (referred to as "R.O." in the remainder of document) is correctly sized and constructed. The R.O. must be ¼" greater in width and height than the portion of the window that fits in the R.O. The R.O. sill must be square within 1/8" across its width. However, if the R.O. sill is out of square by a greater amount, it may not be possible to shim and square the window in the opening.

2.Check the squareness with diagonal measurements (see figure 1). The difference between 1 to 4 and 2 to 3 should not exceed 1/4". If the R.O. does not conform to these requirements, it must be modified so that the sill is square to the floor within tolerance and the diagonals are within the 1/4" allowance.

Figure 1

3.Inspect the exterior face of the R.O. where the mounting flange of the window will contact. This area must not have gaps or voids beneath the mounting flange. The sheathing or exterior wall material that the window will be fastened to must be structurally adequate so that the window unit is fully anchored.
