The 5 Installation Essentials
Installation Guides
All A&L products require adequate packing, fixing and checking to ensure that they are square and plumb.
Refer to this image for a handy snapshot of the installation process and keep an eye on our blog for written guides like these for product specific installation:
Discrete Drainage
Unlike competitor products with unsightly visible drainage holes, most A&L products have hidden drainage holes underneath the sill, for a cleaner aesthetic.
It is essential that these drainage holes are not blocked when the product is installed.
Drainage, or weep holes as they are sometimes referred to, ensure any water that runs down the window, is released to the exterior. If these holes are blocked, any built-up water has nowhere to go and could leak into the home.
The Perfect Finish
For a perfect finish in lightweight construction, ask for our Weatherboard Trim or Flat Trim.
Flat Trim (pictured) creates a clean, solid aesthetic and makes it easier to seal the perimeter of the window.
