Aluminium window installation in a garden room
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 5 сен 2024
- As a follow on from the bi fold door installation video we are now fitting a window with opening sash.
Aluminium as this is all we fit.
Same procedure, fit the cill correctly and the rest will be easy.
Water runs down so make sure you damn it properly.
Many thanks
William and all at Oakwood Garden Rooms
Fitted two aluminium windows today. Felt incredibly less daunting having watched this video a couple of times. Thanks so much for being so thorough
This guy is not a window fitter ( loudest gasp noise ever ) lol, but take it from someone with 23 years experience as a carpenter, you genuinely wont find a better more geniune or realistic video on how to fit a window on the web. Liam covers every aspect needed and the fact he shows how to do it in the real world when temperatures are near freezing and it honestly feels like your fingers belong to your neighbour is refreshing. (To many videos on here with premeditated perfect conditions and really teach us nothing other than (our tools are inadequate)
His mitre saw could of been any mitre saw with correct blade and other than a few packers and a drill , job done to as good (in fact better) than most fitters I've seen. The laser level trick for plumbing the windows is so simple but effective especially when working alone.great work keep them coming.
Thankyou, i recently installed an aluminium window following your video
Brilliant video - have just bought a couple of windows and had no idea how to fit them until I watched this. Really great explanation - thank you!
There is drain holes in the window ,no need to put them in the cill lol ..love ur work BTW, and I'm 90% done on my garden room thanks to ur videos ,I'm a window fabricator and fitter ,loved building the garden room
But there were no holes in the cill, where would the water drain to?
Highlight of lockdown watching these videos
I agree, I have been looking forward to more updates!
Really enjoyed the last couple of videos, really great level of detail. Thanks 🙏
Brilliant! Covers all the bits I had questions about, spose I got to go do it now 😅
Cheers D
Another great video just a shame you don't work in the Midlands would use you and your crew without question top quality garden rooms keep up the good work
Looks familiar. Get a new laser and now can’t be arsed getting out the bubble 🤣. Another great video 👍👍
I use steel straps screwed to the backside of the frame, this means no screws in sight. Works great if there is finish plastering to be done.
I forgot to mention, straps avoid having to pack the cavity if the new window ends up straddling the gap.
Another top video William.
Absolutely top quality Liam, perfect instruction, clear and precise, just what use Diyer's need, thank you.
Horns boss, that’s what call them🙌
Another great video Liam and co. Well done! 👍🏼 B 🏴
Great vid, best explanation i have heard for why and how to heel & toe. Thanks.
Thanks Liam for another great video, i always check my notifications to see if you have uploded.
hahaha minute 5:13 Awesome video thanks Liam!
Top job 👍
Brilliant video and great job 10/10
Another cracking video, thanks.
Top stuff 👍👍
Good job and clear instructions. Thanks
Very detailed video, enjoyed watching this. On white frame I pencil in T,B, R, L on the glazing bars so I now which way they go back in. Masking tape is useful as well. I would put the top beading in first, that way the glass has some security until the others are fitted. Fitted a lot of aluminium windows last year in my own house, but they came ready glazed, so don't need to mess around with all the locking system. I've started to used the impact driver less now and just prefer using a drill driver which gives more control and over tightening.
Brilliant explanation as always.
Keep up the good work
Top job and well informed as usual great as need to build my shed soon ! John from Chichester !
So much info! Brilliant work
Hey men
What we do here in Ethiopia is a bit different from u cause the section type of aluminium frames are different. But I admire your effort.
Top video as always Liam, well explained
Great stuff another very informative video! Keep up the good work.
Really appreciate it
So useful! Very informative, loving your work
Super helpful. Thank you. 💪🏻💪🏻
Crackin content pal,great explanation as per,bring on the next one👍
Thanks again for great content. What happens to the packers.
Usually just cut off what can see and hide behind sealant
Nice video, thanks for showing how to install Windows.
Video needs a little bit more focused.
Overall great video 👍👍
One thing about the foam wear a decent mask when indoors the vapour from the can is really bad for you, great video by the way 😎
Nice job again buddy. Nightmare when your fingers freeze 😡👍
Do you need flashing tape on the timber before fixing the window cill?
Nice job like always
that foam gun looks great...
It’s a world apart from the one use can
Window fitters won't be happy, Great tutorial, No 🐂💨💩 video Fitting Instructions 👍
“Helps lube it and slide it in” said the Actress to the Bishop!
Most uPVC manufacturers do a smooth anthracite foil now mate, years of window bashing, I hate aluminium now 😂
I fit rational window and doors, they are aluminium on the outside and wood in the inside
Sound nice
Useful info lad, cheers
Good video. What do you do with the window reveals? Surely it can’t be efficient to call the plasterer back just for some reveals?
Great video, would there be any benefit to putting a DPM under the sill and up the back of it to act as a dam too? Rather than relying on the silicone?
I was wondering that too
@oakwoodgardenrooms hi Liam, are window and door extenders needed to enable the correct opening? I’ve double battened and will clad with 18mm cedar but won’t the reveal hit the hinge?
thanks for video. can I ask if internal blinds in aluminium doors have any long term effect on the performance of the gas
in the glass, ditto for windows with internal blinds thanks again
Love the channel mate, and this is a great video/tutorial. You have framed the windows the same way I do, and I have a quick question (if you've got the time!). In the US it's common practice to put flexible flashing barriers (basically rubber sticky tape!) Around the window reveals and corners. I've almost never seen this done in the UK. Is it something you think is unnecessary or just that we haven't caught up yet?
Another excellent instructional video!
How do you then deal with packers each side of the window?
Thx
Use a sharp chisel and break the expose parts off then put your angle or flushing whatever you’re going to use to over the gap. Obviously make a notch for the packers and finished
Hi mate! Awesome video 🙌 I have one question, how do you choose Gasket Seal for aluminium thermal break double glazed windows if manufacturer did not include it?
thanks a lot boss
I used to work for express bifolds, very good products. Google their showroom
They look like really good stuff. I got a quote recently for some 5m bifolds for a customer and they came in nearly double to all the other quotes unfortunately.
Who makes the windows?
I am a professional fenestration engineer. You should not fix through thermal break and depending on system those weep holes on front of window, drains the water away no need to drill cill.
Every google search recommends fixing through thermal break and if you don’t have weep holes where is the water that goes under the frame and into the thermal break going to go? Professional window fitter ?
@@thegardenroomguru mastic like you did, dam side and back and point front window to cill. Depends on system some have gasket at front. I get paid to fit aluminium window systems so yes i a professional.
So window fitters are poshing it up and calling themselves fenestration engineers these days lol.
What are the qualifications/certifications required to be a 'Fenestration Engineer'? Curious, as its not a term i've heard before.
@@waynegriffiths8151 a fenestration is an opening in a building so basically someone who fits doors, windows etc though I believe the term also refers to the people who make them.
Hi mate love your videos keep up good work, one of your viewers from Ireland. Would you be able to tell me where you get the thermnal broken window sill can't source them here in Ireland. Thanks Vincent 👍
Awesome
Need to dam the therobrake or all the water getting inside the cill will penetrate the inside timber
Put the top bead in first the glass will not fall out
very nice
Hi Liam, just curious but what are your favourite and least favourite parts of a build mate? Videos are better than TV !
Putting the walls up mate, it’s fast paced and you can see results very quickly
Insulation is the worst 👍🏼
@@thegardenroomguru Cheers, keep the videos coming.
Vielen Dank.....
Hi, can you tell me how to adjust the window please
My aluminium windows doesn’t close properly have gap on the corner opposite of handle side
Thanks
Can't see any detail , not sure if it's focus or exposure. While doing the sill
Do upvc windows require the gasket or is that just for aluminium frames? I don’t recall having to put one in on my upvc door. About to move onto the windows.
There already in the plastic trims mate
@@thegardenroomguru thanks Liam. Makes sense - I must be a bit unobservant!
dont have take handle off just stick packers in n feed it in simple
👍👍👍
How do you fit your door and window linings on the inside with the window packers sticking out internally ? I've never fitted windows or doors and this bit is puzzling me as you guys dont plaster upto the window so really would love to see how you go about that bit in a future video :) keep up the great work Oakwood team !
I was thinking the same
@@onefortheroad1 with like a multi tool ?
Yes mate, or if the reveal is not plum we use the packers to keep the mdf reveal plumb with the window
why do you drill holes in the sill, when it looks the window frame already has drain-holes ?
window has them mate but some times not the cill, so you need to drain the cill
Bahco👍
Where’s the tray? Lead or other probably missed the most important bit .
Where do you get you windows from please 😊
Liam what brand of work trousers are you wearing with the side pockets.
Mascot
As you know I’ve no sponsorship at all, so this comment is totally unbiased, YOU WILL NOT WEAR BETTER💪🏻
@@thegardenroomguru where do they sell them mate.
Oh and they all have individual names, which ones are they, cheers
where do you get windows from, I have been searching and can't find the right ones
All ours come from express bifolds mate
Plastic hammer is good
What brand are these sills?
What type of internal window reveals do you use?
How do you clean the protruding foam once it's dry? I mean without scratching the aluminium.
Just pick it off with your fingers so it’s roughly flush mate
Can you tell me where you get your windows and doors from ? thanks love the vids
@bugga lugs I’m sure he mentions Express Bifolds in Leeds
@@joewalton2326 Thanks Joe i did manage to get hold of the company all good :)
Great attention to detail agin. What makita combi and driver are you using William. Am needing new tools lol
Hi George, From previous vids, fairly certain Liam said he uses a Makita DTD171 Impact Driver & Makita DHP481 Combi Drill :-) I also use both as well & the impact driver is really the mutts (it has 2 Tech Screw modes & 4 different impact level modes). I ordered my DTD171 from Tokyo, Japan on Ebay before they came out in the UK (for half the price they now cost in UK). Got mine in a "Brown" colour rather than Makita "Teal" that way I can easily identify mine out on site. Also bought a couple of thinner Makita 2 amp/hr batteries (BL1820B .... really difficult to get hold of), to make it even more compact & fitted a Makita 12v Impact Driver Belt Clip as original one stuck out below thinner battery ;-) Hope that helps :-)
@@rockymount2393 Any particular Japanese outlet? I've used plaza Japan for toys and things before - be great to save a few quid on Makita! Thx :)
@@geoffcapesfavouritebudgie7908 HI Geoff, Yep I just type something like "makita dt172 japan" (their latest Impact Driver) into a Google & seach ebay from there. I look for odd colour one's (so for instance previous Makita impact models I got have been Pink & Brown .... that way I know on site, that their mine 😂).
Look for a reasonable priced one and mostly it's "free postage", & I don't mind waiting a few weeks for it to arrive. AvE ( I think based in Canada), did a comparison of a Japanese market .vs. Everywhere else same impact drivers & he concluded that the Japanese market ones were far superior in attention to detail (better solder joints, build quality, machined .vs. powder metal parts etc.). Also, currently you can get a "Yellow" Makita DT172 Impact Driver that looks at first glance, like a Dewalt 😉 Not too bothered who in Japan I order them from (my last two came from Tokyo), as I find the Japanese super reliable and trustworthy 😃 Hope that helps 😉
@@rockymount2393 Thank you, will take a nosey. Yellow one sounds interesting. I was wondering whether I might be able to get some 5ah batteries as they are mad expensive at the moment!
The Ali drainage system is completely flawed, the drainage route is on the thermal break and completely bridges it causing condensation on back of Cill inside!
And fixing through a point where water sits ? Come on!!
Any reason why you don’t fix the seal to the frame from first? Through bottom of the seal up into the frame? Makes job a lot easier
Then foam guns are terrible I’ve had 4 of them
What happens to the packers sticking out? They get cut back? Thanks DIY dummy ha
LIGHT IS HORRIBLE!!you can not see anything...
