Training Curriculum

PART 1 – THEORETICAL TRAINING

First Stage of Installation

  • Transport and deposition at the installation site
  • Pre-installation works

 

Second Stage of Installation

  • Installation tolerances – Site measurements of the structural openings

  • Leveling of the frame on all three axes

  • Shimming the frame based on the type of frame and the forces applied to it

 

Third Stage of Installation

  • Fixing the frame to the surrounding structure

  • Fixing using installation brackets

  • Selecting the appropriate anchors and the correct number of them based on the screw diameter and the dimensions of the frame

 

PART 2 – PRACTICAL APPLICATION

  • Correct Measurement for Window frames – Installation Tolerances

  • Leveling using a laser and a leveler

  • Shimming and fixing the frame either directly to the adjacent structural element (e.g., masonry) or to the sub-frame

PART 1 – THEORETICAL TRAINING

Fourth Stage of Installation

  • Basic principles of sealing and insulation to ensure airtightness, thermal insulation, sound insulation, and watertightness

  • Selection of appropriate sealing and insulation materials

  • Examples showing how the installation method and materials used affect the thermal transmittance (U-value) of the frame

 

Fifth Stage of Installation

  • Handover to the client – Demonstration of the correct way to operate the frame
  • Instructions for proper maintenance, cleaning, and protection of the frames from external factors
  • On-site tests for measuring frame performance after installation

 

PART 2 – PRACTICAL APPLICATION

Application of all new sealing and insulation materials:

  • Polyurethane foam (elastic)
  • Self-expanding pre-compressed tape
  • Joint sealants
  • Sealing tapes and membranes, etc.
  • Insulation boards
