Installation in general A window is never better than its installation… We know, that you already know how to fit win- dows perfectly. But here is a friendly reminder of how you can ensure a top professional job when installing Idealcombi windows and doors. 10 top tips before you get started: • Read the installation manual. • Use packers correctly. • Always place the fixings correctly. • Make sure everything is plumb and level. • Keep heads, jambs, and sills/threshold straight. • Check the diagonal measures. • Clean rebate and ironmongery from building dust. • Function test and adjustment of ironmongery and locking points. • Lubricate ironmongery and moving parts. (BUT NOT FRICTION STAYS) • Treat rubber seals with silicone. Be proud of a job well done – It is the installer that makes the last and crucial difference for the customer! Packers Units are placed in the aperture and packed up with wedges under the jambs and mullions. For other permanent wedging see the respective opening types on the following pages. Packers and wedges must always support both timber and idealcore, be moisture resistant and have a width of min. 40 mm. Full depth packers must be used on doors with fibre threshold with a distance of max. 300 mm. For sliding door with low threshold and units with fibre threshold a fully supportive packer must be used. Improved strength Packers can be placed by all closing/locking points to increase strength in case of break-ins. Be careful! No packers are allowed at the head if there is a risk of load transferred from the construction above. Tolerances The frame is placed in the aperture and there must be uniform sealing space at the jambs and the head. Consider the use of sills and/or finished floor levels. Tolerance around the window/door should be around 12 mm. Diagonal measures The frame must be plumb and square. The frame must be secured to ensure a tight seal when the sash is closed - with a uniform gap between sash and frame. The tolerance on diagonal measures is max. ±2 mm. Installing specific element types On the following pages you will get a quick over- view of installing the different element types. In idealcombi’s installation app or on install.ideal- combi.com you will find more detailed installation information in words, pictures and videos. See more details in the installation app or on install.idealcombi.com Installation - a quick overview Packers Packer width min. 40 mm. Packing type 1: Mandatory permanent packers. Packing type 2: Depending on the fixing screw used, the responsible installer must consider the need for packing type 2. In these considerations, make sure that forces illustrated by ,must be ab- sorbed by the surrounding construction. For doors with 18mm low threshold, packers in full frame depth must be used with max. 300mm between packers. Alternatively a fully supportive packer can be used. Idealcore TM Wedges are placed at the corners. Never hit on the frame directly, always use a pad, pre-drilling through IdealcoreTM must never be done with a hammer drill. This will lead to rejection of material on the back, and thus greatly weaken the frame fixings. When installing the unit, distance must be controlled with a wedge or permanent packer Fixing Windows and external doors must always be secured to the surround- ing building with suitable screws or brackets, Fixing locations are industry standard: 150mm from each end or mullion, then at 450 - 600mm centres.
