INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
for Aluminum Windows without Nailing Fin (JII031)

GLOSSARY

Backer Rod (backing material)

A material (e.g. foam rod), placed into a joint primarily to control the
depth of the sealant.

Buck

A wood framework attached to the masonry inside a window or patio
door rough opening.

Finless Window

A window without a nailing fin that is secured by fastening through the
head, sill and jambs. Finless windows may also be known as block frame
or box frame windows.

Flush Fin Window

A window without a nailing fin that has a face flange (trim only). Flush
fin windows may also be known as flange, stucco flange or Florida
flange windows.

Precast Sill

A pre-formed concrete block placed in a masonry/block wall to support
a window.

Shiplap

The layering method in which each layer overlaps the layer below it so
that water runs down the outside.

Weep Hole (weep channel)

The visible exit or entry part of a water drainage system used to drain
water out of a window.

Newer construction methods have led to an increase in air and water
tightness in buildings. This frequently leads to negative air pressure
inside the home, which can draw water through very small openings.
Our installation method creates an air seal on the interior, integrating
the window with the rough opening.

Thank you for selecting JELD-WEN products. Attached are
JELD-WEN’s recommended installation instructions for aluminum
windows without a nailing fin (including finless, flush fin and
flange). Read these instructions thoroughly before beginning.
They are designed to work in most existing applications, however;
existing conditions may require changes to these instructions.
If changes are needed, they are made at the installer’s risk. For
installations other than indicated in these instructions, contact a
building professional.

Not all window types may be installed into every wall condition in all
areas. Consult your local building code official for applicable building
codes and regulations. Local building code requirements supersede
recommended installation instructions.

Note!

Installations where the sill is higher than 35 feet above ground

level, or any product installation into a wall condition not specifically
addressed in these instructions, must be designed by an architect or
structural engineer.
Failure to install windows into square, level, and plumb openings could
result in denial of warranty claims for operational or performance
problems.

Note to Installer:

Provide a copy of these instructions to the building

owner. By installing this product, you acknowledge the terms and
conditions of the limited warranty as part of the terms of the sale.
