WINDOW INSTALLATION
FLASHING SYSTEM
Installing ThermaDura products is simple. A 4/10mm groove is machined into the outside of the frame to accommodate a side flashing. The head flashing is similar to flashings used in conventional joinery. ThermaDura can also provide external timber reveals and sills depending on the installation situation.
Please contact us if you cannot find a design you are looking for.
Architects can login in our Architects area to download CAD files of our joinery. A detail library for energy efficient houses and passive houses is also available in the Architects login area.

FASTENERS
There are two options for the concealed fixing of ThermaDura joinery.
Our joinery is fixed with a fastener then a reveal or Gib Board is attached to conceal the fasteners. We can also fix the joinery with screws but we prefer not to as this requires pre-drilling of the frames.
We recommend the concealed fixing method. The fasteners can be
supplied with the joinery from ThermaDura. Please inquire.
Tack first fastener 100mm from corner
Fix with 1 screw 5x40mm to joinery
Fix next fasteners at 400mm centers
Same distances for the top frame rail
Fix with (2x) 4.5x40mm screws into wall framing
